Another new year. Your chance to make a fresh start: Changes and improvements you’ve been itching to make, goals you’ve been meaning to prioritise but have put on the backburner. In short, you know you deserve better. You deserve to be happy, maximising your quality of living in whichever way motivates you. Though sometimes the solutions aren’t so obvious. Sometimes you need a mirror held up to see the answer staring you in the face. And that’s where empowerment coaching will help hone your talents and expertise.
Getting an empowerment coach or even contemplating it, is taking a huge step forward, whichever way you look at it. The fact that you’re aiming to make positive changes to your life shows you already possess a growth mindset that will lead to personal development. That’s not in question. Life can get on top of us and cloud our vision, even our memory of what we wanted. Everyday we’re bombarded with demands and expectations, obligations towards others. But what about towards ourselves?
Sometimes we need a non-biased party to show us what we’ve covered up: a helping hand, an impartial ear, maybe a rod of dynamite up the rear end, as a friend of mine is fond of saying. Sure, asking for help gets a bad reputation in certain spheres. But the truth is we can’t solve everything on our own all the time. We’re pack animals. We live in society, interact and work with others every single day. We’re constantly surrounded and influenced by the thoughts, actions, ideas and motivations of others.
We are co-interdependent beings – Not in the helpless sense, but in the positive, empowering sense of the word. We become stronger as a species by asking questions, by sharing our experience, knowledge and expertise: by finding out how to do what we do – or can’t yet do – better. It’s how we evolve. Asking for help doesn’t mean we’re weak, fragile or incapable. On the contrary. It makes us stronger, more powerful: more apt to grow and survive.
Looking for the right kind of life coach is a positive, self-motivated act. It takes grit and determination to make changes and improvements, where others might stick their heads in the sand: prioritising your emotional health, putting your goals and happiness first. Some people are genuinely worried their “friends” might discourage them from pursuing their dreams, scared of being left behind. But then, how good are those relationships for you if they don’t have your best interests at heart?
You need to surround yourself in growth-oriented people in order to grow. Fact. “You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with” (Jim Rohn). So, if you’re looking to make improvements to your life because you know you could be happier, take a good hard look at the company you keep and check who’s really behind you, backing your growth path. Because one thing’s for certain: your life coach is 100% in your corner supporting your goals.
