Life Coaching and its derivatives Personal Coaching and Executive Coaching are, really, much of a sameness. The major problem is that it is an unregulated practice, this means anyone can set up as a coach. Not in itself a problem, many top flight Coaches started coaching before it was recognised as a legitimate practice… unfortunately a few are charlatans and cowboys (or cowgirls). At Golden Giraffe our Life Coaches have been trained in either Psychology, Life Coaching skills, or Trainers… or all three! So, what is Life Coaching? We think we may have come up with a definitive answer… a Life Coach is a non-judgemental Critical Friend. Which leads us to the next question, what is a Critical Friend? |
|
“Men stumble over the truth from time to time, but most pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing happened.” Sir Winston Churchill |
|
“The Critical Friend is a powerful idea, perhaps because it contains an inherent tension. Friends bring a high degree of unconditional positive regard. Critics are, at first sight at least, conditional, negative and intolerant of failure. Perhaps the critical friend comes closest to what might be regarded as 'true friendship' - a successful marrying of unconditional support and unconditional critique.” A John MacBeath; Professor of Education Leadership, Cambridge University |
|
Think about it. Think about the idea of being able to talk about your life, your business, your personal goals and your issues, in total confidence, to someone who will be non-judgemental, yet critical. Critical in the sense that they will ask you those difficult question that you know need answering, and that can only be answered by yourself… guiding you to achieving your full potential. |

OK, how do we go about it? There are a number of ways you can take advantage of Life Coaching: By telephone or, if you prefer via Skype This is, by far, the most popular way. This consists of regular contact with your Life Coach, probably for 30/45 or even 60 minutes once a week for a set period, you decide! Face to Face Some prefer to start Life Coaching by meeting their Life Coach face-to-face, often on neutral territory, following this up with regular telephone contact. Again, you decide! By email, messenger, or even text or SMS Less popular but often used as ‘Success or Distress’ contact, something that is offered by Golden Giraffe totally free of charge when you take advantage of one of our Life Coaching Programmes. Whichever way you choose, you can be assured of: Professional Services at an Affordable Prices. For more information, contact us now. |
