Life Coaching

By Cherri Forsyth

So why should you, as a business owner, consider Life Coaching for yourself or your staff?  Maybe this great quote from the Protea Hotels HQ is relevant: "What if we train our staff and they leave?" "What if we don't, and they stay...?" 

• Progressive business owners are realising that the happier their staff are, the more efficient and productive they will be. 
• Life coaching is a gift you can give your employees in a win-win situation: to them as individuals, and to you as a business. 
• This coaching programme is a process, not just a one-off seminar that is implemented for 2 weeks and then tends to be forgotten about. It focuses on goal-setting, taking action, and together with accountability makes this a hugely effective course. 
• The content of the coaching course can be taylor-made to suit your business. “Touchy-feely” topics like beliefs, values and communication are combined with the more hard hitting topics of time management, stress management and team building to make a very balanced end product. The length of time this course usually takes is 6 months...time enough for permanent change!  
• It focuses on personal development combined with practical tools. These tools are simple and easy to use- it isn’t just a lot of theory. These tools REALLY work well. Life challenges us all, and these tools equip us to deal very effectively with the “curved balls”. 
• It is a life changing course because it makes you think about really relevant questions that we ‘never have time to get around to”.  In considering these elements in a structured manner, it causes us to make life long changes.  The themes of Life Coaching are to make life work even better for you, teaches positive living, authenticity, pro-active, and better decision maker, increased confidence because you know yourself even better, it challenges you, brings balance.
