Great Circle

I occasionally get asked, “What is a life coach?”. The question is usually followed up with another one that goes something like: “Isn’t that ringing people at 6 am to get them out of bed and stuff like that?” or “Is that like helping people with their problems?”

My response? “Er, not really…”

Basically a coach of any description is someone who helps someone else do something better.

The most common reason for a sports team to hire a new head coach, a business to hire a new business coach, or an an individual to hire a “life” coach is to achieve a breakthrough of some sort. Things haven’t been going as well as they could be, progress is thwarted, and they just need a new approach to tackling their goals and barriers.

So enter Pete Aldin, life coach.

The people I enjoy serving most, always fit one of the following descriptions.

People who are in Overwhelm, who feel besieged, unprepared for a new role, or just plain exhausted…

I love to help these people to BREATHE, BREAK THEIR OVERWHELM INTO SMALL PIECES, SIMPLIFY THEIR LIFE.

People with inspiring ideas - writers, pioneers, entrpreneurs - whose ideas seem to float in orbit, never actually landing to take root on Planet Earth…

I love to see these people break through their invisible barriers and actually CREATE SOMETHING THEY LOVE!!

Gen Ys and Gen Xers who feel stuck: they have that Big Decision to make but can’t seem to make it; they have so many choices that choosing one feels nigh on impossible; or they’ve been doing their best to succeed but success seems to elude them…

I love helping them RELAX, UNLEASH THEIR TRUE VALUES AND SENSE OF PURPOSE, ACTUALLY MAKE PROGRESS THEY’RE PROUD OF!

One of my dear friends and coaching colleagues, once wrote a simple piece to help people assess coaching as an option for them.  If you have been thinking about life coaching, but (like me) you like to browse as much as possible before even speaking to someone, I encourage you to check out Is coaching for me? today.
