Benefitting from a Life Coach is a growing phenomenon. People from all walks of life are seeking the added value of coaching. What is so attractive about a Life Coach?

Here are a few of the benefits.

A Life Coach…

● Listens: Just the act of listening can help bring clarity out of confusion. Just speaking and negotiating the words helps us untangle the bird nest in our minds. The coach will help you speak through and better understand your goal.

● Encourages: Often we stand in front of the door to success and the act of reaching down and touching that door knob seems daunting. Fear of failure paralyzes many. We have failed at this very point so many times. What is different this time? Well, there is a difference. You are not alone. You have an extra set of eyes and ears. You have a union of wills. You have a Life Coach.

● Creates: Sometimes the creative well just seems dry. We lower the bucket and find dust and dirt. Whether we are writing a novel, losing weight, finding that perfect job, or dealing with another goal; we wonder what to do next. A Life Coach will help you find your answer. Often the right coaching question highlights and unveils the right answer.

● Celebrates: Have you ever wanted to “high five” a victory moment and there just wasn’t anyone who knew the size and nature of the victory that you just experienced? A Life Coach knows. When you extend your hand in the air in celebration it is your Life Coach’s hand that meets your hand in a celebratory clasp.

Like the soft drink commercial “Everything goes better with Coke”; so it is with storytelling. Want to be a better communicator, tell it with a story. Want to tell your spouse how much you love him or her, tell it with a story. Everything goes better with a story!

If you want your audience, whether it is your teenage child, your customer, your employee, or your congregation to listen, feel, and remember; then use story.

Story engages the listener. It provides landmarks for remembering. It creates mental pictures which add dimension.

Story enables legacy. Long after your audience forgets the intricacies of your words, they’ll remember the story and the truth it bore.

There is an art to storytelling. Learning to properly tell a story increases your success. And it is so much fun!

John Maxwell, a most respected leadership teacher, consultant, and coach, says that leadership is influence. We all have influence. We are all leaders.

Whether you lead a family, a classroom, a congregation, a small business, a small part of a larger business, or an entire corporation, you are a leader. Whether you are a big sister, a neighbor, or friend you are a leader; a person of influence.

John Maxwell wrote 360 Degree Leader. The book teaches us how to influence from all quarters. How can you, as a son, lead a father, or as an employee lead your supervisor, or your company? Each position has influence. Each position benefits from a unique perspective and resulting insights. Each perspective has requirements that bring integrity and validity to your leadership. For example, there are unique expectations that must be met before a subordinate can influence a supervisor or a parent.

Coaching helps each of us express and work through the requirements necessary to influence, to lead. Coaching helps us create a plan (base on our unique landscape), execute the plan, and then assess and recalibrate as necessary.

It is the nature of a stream to move. Life is a stream, not a pond. It moves. Sometimes it seems so slow that we don’t sense the movement. Then other times it moves so rapidly that it takes our breath away. A child or grandchild walks in front of us and we gasp as we see how they have grown. We sit at our office desk and we sigh, “One day we will give the leadership to someone else". We sit on a beloved front porch and know the seasons have come and gone so,… so many times.

What do you want to leave behind; spiritual truth, ethical choices, emotional intelligence, people skills, success lessons, life’s priorities, when to stand, when to duck? Unless you have a plan, you’ll sit by the stream and never get it done. A Legacy coach will help you set the content, create and execute the plan.

One day those who mean so much to you will sit on their porch and remember you and your legacy.
