What Is It Like To Work With A Life Coach?

What Is It Like To Work With A Life Coach?
Life Coaching sessions are exciting, they are boring, they are fun, and they are challenging. 

Like any journey, the journey of life and the sections of your path that you walk with your coach will contain a vast array of emotions and experiences.  There will be fun times and there will be challenging times.  Some sessions will include huge epiphanies that are earth-shaking and life-changing, other sessions will feel almost boring as you plod along the path to your goal.  Some sessions are filled with laughter and they are incredibly fun, as you begin to live into your entire being and play full-out in life.  Other sessions can include processing things like sadness, grief, or shame and they can be challenging as you begin to set your burdens down and release the things that have been holding you back.   

I think we sell ourselves short and set ourselves up for disappointment when we expect any particular experience to be all one certain way.  The truth is that being a human is complicated and nuanced, and life is complicated and nuanced. The universe is filled with chaos that we can't control and it impacts our lives in ways we don't fully understand, and while I'm usually a pretty science-driven, analytical gal, the truth is that this is a magic in all of this that I can't explain.  Life is both the mundane and the extraordinary - and that is what your sessions will be too. 
While each coaching session is unique and each client is unique, the average coaching session looks like this:
  1. Get present.  The coach will work with the client to become centered and fully present so that the coaching work can be done.
  2. Homework check-in/Identify current issues/Celebrate successes.  This is the process of identifying where you are on the map.  As part of the coach/client relationship, you will have identified where you are - and where you want to go.  This part of the session allows for the client to practice accurate self-assessment and for the coach to evaluate where the client is between the starting point and the goal. 
  3. Investigate & discover.  This is the meat of the session and the part where deep investigation happens, epiphanies are had, shifts are made, healing takes place, potential is discovered, gifts are unlocked, and things are realigned.
  4. Design the next action step.  This is the stage in the session where the next step towards the goal is identified and support is built around that action step.
  5. Reflect & closing.  In this final part of the coaching session, all loose ends will be wrapped up, if any challenging work was done, those feelings will be resolved.  This is a time for the client to reflect on their work, the coaching session, and identify what is working for them and where they can increase their gratitude (because gratitude is a powerful force, and one of the bio-hacks that a coach will train you how to use).
