Life Coaching: Life coaching for success and fulfillment
Life Coaching for Success and
Fulfillment
By
Caroline Shola Arewa
We live in a world of rapid change and uncertainty. Nothing is as it
was even ten years ago. This means there is major pressure on all of us
to change, everything is speeded up; we have to learn fast or risk being
left behind. All areas of life are affected. Relationships lack
commitment, health can no longer be taken for granted, financial
security can disappear over night. Careers are insecure, global security
is challenged and stress is at an all time high. We have more choices in
life than ever before. So how do we find stability and manage choice in
this fast changing world?
I believe each and every one of us is here for a Divine Purpose. The
Creator has a divine plan for your life. A tiny drop of water may seem
lost in the vastness of the ocean, but it still has an essential role.
We can forget our Divine Purpose in the midst of the changes and
challenges life presents, but we still have a divine role to play in the
theatre of life. ‘The Creator has given you great potential what are you
doing with yours?’ this is a question I often ask myself and my clients.
Life Coaching is a powerful means of organising your life and
reaching your potential. A rapidly growing world requires new solutions.
Life Coaching can help you re-connect with your Divine Purpose and
assist you in making choices that bring stability, success and
fulfilment to your life. Often we say we have priorities yet we don’t
know what they are and therefore can’t stick to them.
During an initial consultation I learned that Paul’s priorities were
spirituality and family. Using Life Coaching skills we quickly found out
that although spiritual life and family were most important, more time
and energy were in fact spent away from his family working in a
stressful job that he no longer found satisfying. The stress of course
came home with Paul, making him not a very nice person to be around.
Paul often arrived home after his children were in bed and was so tired
himself he simply ate his meal and fell asleep in the chair. I
introduced Life Coaching strategies to help Paul turn his life around.
It meant taking risks and asking Paul to trust in his Divine Purpose. We
spend time working on a life plan and Paul developed the courage to
leave his job and move forward with his life. Two weeks after leaving
work, Paul landed a dream job closer to home. He recommitted to his
family and spiritual life and is now much happier, more fulfilled and a
better husband and father.
Coaching recognises that success is different for each person and
addresses the balance of career, family and friends, home, finance,
spirituality and health, without health how we can we fully enjoy life.
Coaching was once the domain of athletes, sportspeople and
high-powered executives. Coaching skills have always been used for
getting people to the top. Now coaching has come off the field and out
of the boardroom. It is available in the homes of all people wanting to
win in life. Coaching is a relationship between two people, a Coach and
Client; both are 100% committed to the clients’ success. Sessions take
place mostly by telephone and email, so no one has to leave home. Life
Coaching offers a holistic approach to fulfilment and success in all
areas of life. Coaching has been described as “A powerful relationship
for people making important changes in their lives.”
In my Coaching practise I work mostly with professionals who are
undergoing difficult life changes and want solutions and results
quickly. I work to Reduce Stress and Maximise Success.
Five steps for Reducing Stress and Maximising Success:
1. Alone Time – create time each day to connect with the sacred, even
if it’s only for a few minutes. Have quiet time in nature, meditation or
prayer. This relaxes your mind, refuels your body and helps clarify and
focus your thinking. Also schedule at least one retreat a year to
re-charge and take charge of your life.
2. Purpose – have a vision for your life. Where do you see yourself
in 10yrs, 5yrs, 1yr, from now? Begin to clarify your vision. How does
your perfect life look? Dare to Dream. What steps can you take to make
your dreams reality?
3. Planning – if you are not planning for success you are planning to
fail. Plan with the precision of a child who knows exactly when to ask
and how many times a request must be repeated in-order to achieve
success. Don’t let fear steal your dreams.
4. Action - Don’t waste energy waiting until all your excuses dry up.
Take action now and make the REST of your Life the BEST of your life.
5. Support – Identify what support you need. Get your team together
and your dream will come together. Avoid unnecessary struggle by getting
support from family, friends and expert help from a Professional Coach
or Business Mentor.
Every day we wake and take breath is a Divine Blessing. Life is a
precious gift and you are alive for a Divine Purpose. When you take time
to connect with the unchanging essence of life, an inner stability
develops. And when you live on purpose the decisions you make bring
success, fulfilment peace and harmony.
