When I decided to start “life coaching” sessions I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect, I felt like I needed it as I was wandering in the dark a little, but what is “life coaching”? According to Deb, it is identifying, embracing and working with your values in order to set and achieve personal goals and a happier life. These goals could be anything, career, lifestyle, manage stress, better relationships, a new job, skill sets etc, whatever your heart desires. Deb has a fantastic exercise that is like a values “pop quiz” that highlights what is most important to you (at that moment in time, it may evolve). This can be a little surprising if you haven’t thought about it much before (and who does? We’re more concerned about what meetings are on tomorrow and which groceries we need to pick up on the way home). Reviewing my top values and anti-values I could see clearly why I was experiencing discomfort in certain areas of my life. Regardless of what you are working on, Deb shows you how your values play into every part of your life, so you begin to see every interaction more clearly and can deal with issues in a much calmer manner.
I have my values printed in my diary and at my desk and refer to them almost daily. You will be amazed at how much less angst there is once you can see WHY you feel that way and understand that sometimes, that’s just how it is. Needless to say, when you have this kind of clarity, becoming specific in what you want, why you want to achieve it, aligning it with your values and how it will impact your life becomes so much easier. I have already started achieving the first steps towards success, and I have complete confidence that the rest will follow.
A value based foundation is invaluable, and I cannot thank Deb enough for coaching me on this gift. While it is simple, it is so often avoided it feels like a wonderful secret! If you want to get your life into gear, contact Deb and start truly understanding yourself so you can set your life on course, the RIGHT way for YOU.
