Life, Personal Performance Coaching
Life Coaching or Personal Performance Coaching, as we refer to it here at The Coaching Academy, is a term used to describe the coaching approach with the aim of helping clients establish and ultimately achieve their personal goals in life.
Coaching focuses on where you are now and where you want to get to. In the same way that a good sports coach can inspire a team or an individual to achieve a great performance, a life coach will help a client find the self-encouragement and self-motivation. A coach will enable clients to define their needs, wants, ambitions and desires; empowering them to identify the strategies and tactics that will create the action to take them there and measure their progress against defined markers.
Life Coaches use many different tools and techniques to empower clients to create their own means of determining and reaching these goals; facilitating their progress through sessions designed to encourage and support, not advice, and carried out on a regular basis. The American Coach, Laura Berman Fortgang explains that Life Coaching is for ‘the worried well’ and as such, coaching is not targeted at those with any psychological conditions and unlike therapy, coaching does not focus on examining and diagnosing the past.. Coaches are not therapists, mentors nor consultants – the focus is on supporting the client to spot their own strengths, build upon them and supprt them to strive for their dreams. Personal Coaching is a relationship which is designed and defined in a relationship agreement between a client and a coach. It is based on the client's expressed interests, goals, and objectives. According to a survey of coaching clients, "sounding board" and "motivator" were the top roles selected for a coach. Clients are looking for a coach "to really listen to them and give honest feedback."
Personal Performance Coaching employs many similar skills used in Corporate and Executive coaching, which itself employs techniques formed in management consulting and leadership training. Life Coaching also dips its toe into lots of other disciplines including psychology, personal development, sociology, mentoring, career counselling and other types of psychological intervention. The Coach’s toolkit contains strategies used in a variety of other disciplines. Techniques including values elicitation, goal setting, visualisation, behaviour modelling and positive affirmation are just some of the more common tools used by the professional coach.
