About Life Coaching ...
The essence of
‘Life Coaching’ is
about unleashing the greatness within, enabling one to experience greater joy, meanings and fulfillment in
life. I see coaching as a masterful integration of science and art. As a
practical discipline, coaching is a process aimed at helping one to develop
greater self-awareness, responsibility and self-belief, enabling one to access
the wealth of inner resources that one already possesses and enjoy more choices
of actions
for
creating one's desired results in life.
As an art,
coaching demands great a degree versatility, spontaneity and fluidity, conducted
through empowering conversations
based on mutual trust and respect.
The coach is
neither an all-knowing 'guru' nor a living example of an enlightened soul, but a
normal human being who has attained a high degree of personal mastery
as well as competency in guiding others effectively through the process of
self-discovery. A key distinction between
coaching and
related fields such as teaching, counseling and therapy is that coaching is
highly result-oriented and action-focused. Being result-oriented involves
looking ahead and creating new possibilities in the future, as opposed to
looking backwards and trying to solve problems through detailed analysis of
the root causes. Being action-focused involves enabling and empowering one to
take charge of oneself, be the creative force in one's life and transform one's
dreams and goals into reality through taking appropriate actions.
In short,
coaching is
really about evoking the excellence or greatness within a person, as in
awakening the giant or unleashing the power within, leaving one
feeling
more competent and more fulfilled in areas that are important in one's life.
What got me started on Life Coaching ...
My first encounter with
coaching
occurred in mid 2003, shortly after an 'epiphany' that significantly changed my life. After
leaving the comfort of a corporate career and journeying on the road less
traveled for about a year, I experienced a sudden revelation on what my life is about:
To live fully and help others live fuller lives.
I shared that
awakening experience with a friend who is an enthusiast of personal development,
and he introduced me to the world of life coaching, a relatively new field of
practice that
has been around for only slightly more than a
decade. Since then,
I have been
devoting a
significant amount of time and energy
to mastering the science and art of coaching through formal training in coaching,
personal development seminars, intensive research, self-reflections, and regular
practice.
Over these years,
after coaching individuals from various walks of life, ranging from guiding
young adults towards greater self-confidence and helping successful
professionals in mid-life to find meanings and a sense of direction in life,
I am truly grateful to have come upon such an empowering discipline that enables
me to do what I am here for. I would encourage anyone who is interested in
personal development to explore the benefits of coaching, either to coach or be
coached.
