You must be wondering what can be common between Life Coaching and Electric Vehicles!
Well, we all know that an Electric Vehicle is NOT polluting, does NOT use Fossil Fuels, and as a result does NOT leave a heavy footprint on our environment. (I will leave the battery disposal debate aside for the sake of this example). In fact, an Electric Vehicle has a GREEN FOOTPRINT for our planet! [This is what inspired us to switch to an Electric Vehicle!]
Quite Similarly, COACHING is NOT advising, NOT suggesting, NOT counselling, and NOT even consulting! That is why coaching does not leave behind the 'heaviness' or 'burden' of having to follow instructions or guidance of 'another' person. Coaching techniques include DEEP LISTENING, PARA-PHRASING, MIRRORING, and asking powerful QUESTIONS…to enable the client to discover their own unique solutions! Growth happens through self-discovery, insight and realization.
In fact, a good coach believes that "Every client comes to you whole and complete; and fully capable of finding their own unique solutions!" How empowering is that! …to know that we have the solutions to all our challenges and aspirations within us! We just need the help of an unbiased mirror to uncover the blind-spots and see our own thought and behavior patterns in a different perspective. This one statement struck such a chord with me that I was sold on coaching! It seemed so true in my own experience - when I compared my degree of ownership and conviction from discovering the answers within me versus when someone else told me what he or she thought was good for me.
So as you can now make out, through Coaching, one is left feeling LIGHT & EMPOWERED to discover the solutions to one's challenges and goals. The next time you are searching for answers, look within and if you need support of a mirror, then go for Coaching! Go for a Green Footprint for your Soul!
