Is Growth Coaching for me?

The question that has plagued mankind for decades. Is growth coaching for me? Before you read this entire article, you must first ask yourself these two questions: 1) Am I performing at my optimum level mentally, physically, and emotionally? 2) Am I in control of my life and feel confident in the life that I am living?

If you answered yes to both of these questions, congratulations! Close out this tab, because it sounds like you are performing at your peak level and it does not sound like you are a good fit for growth coaching.

If you are still reading this article, that means that you answered no to either one or both of those questions. So, back to the point, is growth coaching for you?

Are you:

• Waking up every morning and spending each day simply going through the motions to get to a job that you hate and while you are there you are counting down the minutes until you can leave?
• Spending time with people you have nothing in common with and often asking yourself “Are these people even my friends?”
• Constantly feeling like you are playing catch up?
• Feel like you never have any time to do the things you actually want to do?
• Out of shape?
• Constantly stressed out?
• Failing friendships or relationships?
• Setting goals that you can never seem to accomplish?
• Feeling like you never have enough money and/or are living paycheck to paycheck?
• Having difficulty controlling your emotions: anger, depression, overly sensitive?
• Feel like there is a black cloud hanging over you all of the time and you are wondering when you will be able to catch a break?
• Trying to figure out your passion but have no clue where to start?

If ANY of these questions speak directly to you, then you most definitely will benefit from working with a personal growth coach. Personal growth coaching will get you to realize the obstacles that are holding you back from pursuing the life that you have always dreamed. Personal growth coaching allows the clients to self-examine their lives by using methods that are thought-provoking and trigger your internal motivation. The best way to find the solution is by first identifying the problem(s).

Imagine living your life on your terms; waking up each morning hopping out of bed excited to take on the day. Imagine yourself pursuing a career that you are passionate about, getting paid the money that you always dreamed of making, working smarter not harder, taking a proactive approach towards life rather than reactive, dating or marrying the quality of person who you know deep down in your heart that you deserve. These all may sound like they are wishful thinking but the truth of the matter is that working with a personal growth coach allows you to explore and examine all of the fallacies that society has trained you to belief.

Growth coaching allows the clients to break down the barriers that have been holding them back for years, decades, etc. It also allows the clients to recognize that they have more control over their day to day situations than they have been led to believe and to be able to implement the proper mindset and practices in their everyday life that will allow them to maximize their potential. If any of this sounds appealing to you, it is important to understand the value of growth coaching rather than looking at it from a monetary stance. For example, many of us attend college or trade schools because we understand that we are making an investment in ourselves and that the time and money we put into our education, we will get back tenfold and the sky's the limit. The same goes for growth coaching.  By working with a coach, you are investing in yourself.  The time, money, and effort that you put into your coaching experience you will get back tenfold.
