Personal development focuses on increasing your self-awareness, looking at life goals, personal challenges and long-standing aspirations. Personal development coaching aims to evaluate these life changes, whilst assessing your strengths and weaknesses to improve certain areas of your life.

Coaches aim to help you recognize where you want to be in life and how you can get there, as well as identify the potential that already exists within you. This is often accomplished through a series of questions designed to help you recognize, accept and build upon your strengths and weaknesses.

A very detailed look is taken into your life dimensions which will help you assess which dimension of your life is affected, how you can create success in that life dimension through the process of creating and reaching your goals. The end goal is for you to start feeling happy and secure in yourself once again.

Personal development coaching can cover a range of issues and concerns so it’s important to remember this when seeking a coach, as confidence and rapport with your coach are essential. Common issues covered include money management, confidence building, public speaking or any other skill linked to promoting personal growth.

If you’re considering enlisting a life coach, ask yourself the following questions:

1. Do you wish you had better communication skills?
2. Do you want to become more confident?
3. Do you want to be more motivated?
4. Do you need a specific skill to advance further in life?

Do you want to be happier?

Absolutely!

Often, the way we feel about events or changes that happen in our lives affect the way we react to certain events creating self-limiting beliefs within us. There is always an innate desire to feel successful in life but it becomes difficult when our state of mind, our mindset hinder our achievements.

In order to understand yourself better, I may ask you to place emphasis on the most meaningful things in your life. For example, if you wish for success, you will need to ask yourself what that success means to you. What makes you successful? And how do you know when you have reached ‘success’? What has hindered your growth?

Absolutely! Personal development coaching can often help you address any social concerns you may have, most commonly, lacking the confidence to meet new people or make friends. As your life coach I will help you recognize and overcome certain anxieties that are preventing you from moving forward; including anxieties over arguments, coping in relationships, or dealing with anger.

It will also be important to find out what your social life is like and where do you think you want it to be. It will be talking about expectations on what social life looks like to you and where you thrive in social situations. As your coach, I will create a balance between your wants and your needs

Absolutely! With the recent pandemic, more people are working from home and it has created a blur between work life and life-life. There are more hours spent juggling work and home environments and sometimes it takes a toll.

It is important to note that if one life dimension is affected, its effects will spill onto the other. For example, if you are stressed about your work, you will feel more irritable around your family because your professional life dimension is stressful. If, for example, something is happening in your home front, then it spills into your professional life dimension by manifesting as a lack of focus. It is more important now, more than ever to create a work/life balance. As your coach, we will talk about time management and SMART goals to effectively combine your two lives together.
