Coaching fosters an environment in which people are free to speak the truth, even if it has never been uttered or realized before. Taking steps to reveal your true self is a process of self-awareness and challenging beliefs through a trusting relationship with a coach to understand who you are and how you want to present yourself in the world. By having the courage to be who you are, you can free yourself from your false self. The art of coaching creates a safe environment for people to be vulnerable and discover their authentic True-Self vs. False-Self.

Understanding who you are at your core (True Self) is a lifelong journey. Life events and circumstances are seeds that you must cultivate into the person you were born to be. By all means, you are not supposed to do this alone; it is only through your collaboration that you may see your true self. The most effective way to increase reflection, awareness, and deliberate living is to work with a coach. This relationship begins with the establishment of a vision, which is later realized through modest, actionable steps devised by you.

I was pleased and thrilled to be able to interview Joy Smathers, a dedicated coach.

Self-Love vs. Self-Destruction

We frequently wait for an external influence or occurrence to create the ideal setting for us to take action toward the improvements we desire. The belief is that the right environment will act as a catalyst for people to make the decision to change. The reality is that no one is coming, and you will find yourself wherever you go. Change is brought about by our own actions, not by the situation in which we find ourselves. It takes work and effort to attain both self-love vs. self-destruction. We’ve done more of one than the other, making it feel “easier” to achieve.

Dream to Action

My coaching skills are based on changing our perspective in any given situation so that we can experience joy in times of stress and calm in times of storm. To reduce anxiety, we must establish a balance and cultivate a mindset that enables us to view any event as a new adventure, rather than a great tragedy or failure. Coaching is not about altering your life’s reality. The Dream to Action coaching model is focused on reuniting with the part of ourselves that perceives hurdles as a point of view rather than a physical impossibility.

The Power of Manifestation

You are the source of all manifestation. Our perceptions and decisions determine the course of our lives. Life does not cease to exist because of manifestation; it is only a format in which we can choose to live or not. It’s well worth the effort to live a happy life. Knowing that we have more power than we realize in making our aspirations a reality gives us a sense of empowerment and motivates us to learn more and take action. It will happen if you think and believe it will.

The Importance of Celebrating Success in the Coaching Process

A Research Paper By Anna Schwaiger
Life Coach, CANADA

We live in a world where everyone wants to be successful. We learn early on that in order to be happy, we must succeed in school, job, relationships, and life. We are always striving to improve ourselves, to become better, smarter, stronger, prettier, and wiser. We never stop because there’s always something new we can do to improve ourselves. “Neuroscience confirms that to be truly happy, you will always need something more.” Humans appear to be in a constant state of development and learning. We wish to be successful in this endeavor. For both the client and the coach, celebrating victories can be a gratifying experience.

Self-Criticism vs. Self-Compassion

“Self-criticism vs. Self-compassion” is a power tool that helps clients overcome obstacles by treating themselves with respect and care rather than negative self-talk and mistrust. Self-criticism makes us feel bad about ourselves and makes us doubt our skills, while self-compassion makes us feel good about ourselves and empowers us to change. Every one of us has an inner critic, which is louder for some than for others. It seems uninvited and sometimes unexpected, and we are rarely happy to hear it.

Many women feel as if they aren’t in control of their own lives. They feel helpless and overwhelmed. Stress and concern are affecting their happiness and relationships, and they’re asking themselves, “Who am I? Is this the life I want to be living?” All too often, we as women are pressured to be perfect, to put everything and everyone before ourselves, and to forget what we want from life. Connect-Accept-Be is a coaching paradigm that helps women through a journey of self-discovery with the objective of empowerment and “putting them back in the driver’s seat.”

Overcoming Fear Using Coaching

A Research Paper By Heather Nickel
Executive Coach, CANADA

Fear is the number one barrier to human performance. Individuals report considerable regret that they were unable to overcome fear and ultimately became unable to pursue their dreams. In the Overcoming Fear Using Coaching profession, it is crucial to understand that fear is based on the brain’s response to a real or perceived threat. Often, this threat arises in those with a fixed mindset with a predisposition to assume that they will fail. By reducing stress through a growth mindset and being aware of systematic desensitization to break down goals and fears into manageable steps, people may then be able to face their fears and gradually achieve their goals.
