Hi, It's DAve
Thank you for joining me on today's post from
Altered Image Coaching.
So let's look at one of the most common questions I receive when people ask me about coaching, which is:-
"What Is That?"
So today I hope that I can go a long way towards answering that question.
There is a common misconception that life coaching and personal development coaching are the same thing but the reality is a little different. Up to a point both a life coach and a Personal Development consultant can take you to some of the same places because (in part) they do the same thing. For example:-
Both can help you to:-
a) find things that bring you joy
b) see who you really are
c) create and define goals / then plan and reach them
d) be your best self
e) build confidence
However, in addition a Personal Development Consultant can assist you to:-
A) Develop Healthy Habits
B) Experiment with solutions and find your direction
C) Take forward action and they will hold you accountable
D) Become a better person
and more besides.
Personal Development places more focus on the following three points:-
skills / knowledge / attitude
So in essence you get the chance to have an impartial view (because it is all to easy to not see the wood for the trees). In other words you get THE BIG VIEW!
Personal Development Coaching is very much about taking action and moving forwards even when things are messy and not "perfect"! It is the conscious process of improving and developing yourself.
A healthy relationship is based on mutual understanding and that is what a Personal Development Coach works towards:-
"bringing you to being yourself and providing a safe space for you to speak and be honest (which is linked to impartiality)".
Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope that you have found it interesting.
