I make it a point to ‘bust’ the wrong messages about life coaching but this post is right on. Nicely done. I hope a lot of people read it because we’ve got a lot of good we can do (as life coaches) and I still think it’s an underused tool. I offer it with lots of options for those who are short on time or cash at http://www.doityourselflifecoach.com, and wrote a guide to life coaching also available on the site ‘Don’t Hire A Life Coach’.
Cheers to all and thanks for a job well done,

James M. Lynch, Virtual Life Coach

I found this site which offers free online life coaching. Pretty detailed programs from a working, experienced coach: http://www.doityourselflifecoach.com.

It would be great to have a coach for some things. I’m just not sure how coaching fits into the average person’s life. You would think that during touch financial times, this would be one of the first costs to cut, but people must gaining enough from coaching to justify the expense. Otherwise we wouldn’t have all these coaches! Very interesting.

Straight to the point and thought provoking, I like that, and I also like the fact that the article encourages people to take responsibility, it is not about the circumstances we are it, it is about what we do to change them.

Coaching is catching on in mainstream and certainly is necessary in an environment where so many individuals are layoffs, financial losses, relationship issues or a general decline in morale. Finding a great coach will often help you help yourself and remind you of the greatness within you. Coach Anna

Many of us focus on what we don’t want and constantly critique (difference people). First step is to switch to a positive frame: What DO we want? This allows us to begin the creative process of shaping our lives. Describing what we don’t want is little more than complaining. Describe what we do want and we start creating.

Thats a good article, and a good reminder too for taking our life seriously. I guess, its never a bad idea to ask for help even when you need to pay for it. Having a life coach is no less than having a mentor with you.
