Get Ready To Go With Life Coaching

As part of her work with Lancashire College, based in Chorley, near Preston, Michaela is currently teaching a ‘Be Your Own Life-Coach Course’.

The course runs for 12 weeks and includes sessions on all the main aspects of Life Coaching: becoming more self aware, setting challenging but realistic goals, exploring beliefs and increasing motivation.

The people on the course are looking to improve or develop themselves in some way and they are encouraged to select a particular aspect of their life on which to focus.

For example, some people want to improve their relationships at work or in their personal life, others are considering a change in career direction and some wish to create and maintain a healthier lifestyle or manage their finances more effectively.

A few of the learners would actually like to become Life Coaches themselves and are using the course primarily as an introduction to the coaching process.

The issues mentioned above are typical of the wide-ranging topics that people bring to Life Coaching – see our article ‘How can life coaching help me?’. The overwhelming feedback from people who have experienced coaching is that it provided them with a clear, focused direction, specific goals and an increased sense of confidence and motivation to achieve those goals.
