What is

Coaching?

Coaching will first and foremost raise your personal awareness. Like our eyesight or our hearing, both of which can be good or poor, there are infinite degrees of awareness. Unlike eyesight or hearing, in which the norm is good, the norm of our everyday awareness is poor. Awareness can be raised or heightened considerably by focused attention and by practice. Increased awareness gives greater clarity of perception than normal, as does a magnifying glass. We are able to control only that of which we are aware. That of which we are unaware controls us. Awareness therefore, empowers us.

Coaching as a method of awareness raising, surfaces and highlights the unique attributes of body and mind of each individual, while at the same time building the ability and the confidence for you to improve without another's prescription. It builds your self-reliance, self-belief, self-confidence, and self-responsibility. Given that left to our own devices we would probably take an age to reinvent the wheel and develop only partially effective methods that can consolidate into bad habits - the awareness raising function of the expert coach is indispensable.

The skill of your coach is to raise and sustain your awareness at the appropriate level and in those areas where it is required.

When you truly accept, choose, or take responsibility for your thoughts and your actions, your commitment to them rises and so does your performance. At SmartCoaching, we provide an opportunity for reflection and decision - do you want to face up to this issue in your life and do something about it? Using open questions, your coach will promote awareness and responsibility, while supporting you throughout the entire process. Having become accustomed to being told what to do, there can be a lot of fear in becoming empowered and deciding for yourself what it is that you want to do, and how you want to do it!

So, if you're wanting to change your lifestyle, or be more relaxed, or even lose weight and get fit then coaching could be just the answer you're looking for. Can you begin to imagine how good you will feel knowing that you're doing the right thing, in the right place, at the right time, and to the values that you wish to live your life by?
