The Process of Personal Coaching

This entry was posted on Friday, December 19th, 2008

Personal Coaching is a method that helps an individual to discover his real self, to find out the relevance of his life and achieve his personal goals. A personal coach guides his client through a journey of self-discovery by using the process of support and challenge. He questions, listens, observes and gives feedback. Personal coaching focuses on the behavior of the individual and helps improve his performance. It helps to set up goals and devise suitable routes to achieve them.

Attributes of a good Personal Coach

  • Not motivated by money – In personal coaching, the coach is usually not motivated by money. Focusing on money makes a coach less concerned about his client leading to an unsuccessful relationship. Not being influenced by monetary gains makes a coach preserve his integrity and reputation.
  • Continuously learns from experiencePersonal coaching is a continuous learning process where the coach learns from his everyday experience with his client. A good coach integrates this experience with his coaching prowess.
  • Helps clients to discover themselves – Personal coaching involves coaches who generally have a liking for people and care for them. They want to help people to find the best in themselves.
  • Desire a fulfilling career – A good personal coach usually has a desire to have a fulfilling career, which involves doing something worthwhile. There is nothing more satisfying than to help make a difference in someone’s life.

The Process of Personal Coaching

Personal Coaching is so designed that both the coach and his client gain from the experience and become better individuals in their own respects. Certain procedures involved in personal coaching can be summed up as follows:

  • Increasing in-built and natural power – This can be done by reducing distracting things that drain energy and replace them by things which give positive energy. Bad habits and unpleasant people can be avoided. A proper foundation should be laid before attracting success. Personal coaching should be a gradual process; otherwise the success earned will be short-lived. Identification of the proper goals is vital. Wrong goals will lead to a hollow victory. Learning to handle the basic things in life is the first step to increasing natural power and making one really happy.
  • Eliminating disturbancesPersonal coaching helps to eliminate all things that are being tolerated and endured during the process of achieving success. Tolerating things drains energy. This can be handled by first making a list of all the things being tolerated. Then attacking all these items one by one along with the help of a friend can help to set things right. Getting rid of these annoyances will make a vast difference in the quality of life.
  • Plugging energy drains – Learning to identify the energy drains can be done through personal coaching. Addictions take control of life and are very hard to stop. A coach helps in getting rid of this energy drain and restoring control to the individual.
  • Installing good habits – After plugging the energy drains, good habits can be inculcated. Things that give pleasure can be integrated into ones lifestyle that will lead to greater enjoyment.
  • Striving to achieve goals – Personal coaching helps an individual to set up goals and also strive to achieve them in the long run. It helps build up a momentum and achieve success.

Personal Coaching helps an individual to realize his unique talents and gifts and build on them to achieve success.
