Hello
I AM THE LIFE COACH GUY
EXPERIENCE IS WHAT WE GAIN FROM LIVING, FROM EMBRACING THE CHALLENGES WE ENCOUNTER, MAKING MISTAKES, AND LEARNING FROM THEM. THROUGH THIS PROCESS WE CHANGE, GROW, AND IMPROVE.
OUR JOURNEY THROUGH LIFE IS NOT COMPLETED IN SOLITUDE. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN WE NEED TO REACH OUT FOR DIRECTION AND GUIDANCE. IT IS THERE, WHEN WE ARE READY TO ACCEPT IT.

WHAT DOES THE LIFE COACH GUY DO?
The Life Coach Guy guides and councils you through the personal and professional challenges that you are facing, and provides you with the tools and encouragement to live a more fulfilling life.
​
The approach I use is Direct. You can expect some tough conversations that enable you to see what the issues are, and what is required to resolve them.
​
The issues are discussed, actions and potential solutions are considered, options decided on, and then you are pushed to implement the solutions in your life.
​
My work is to walk with you through the challenges that you are facing, to push you through to the other side, and to leave you as a better person.
​
Simply put, you, the client, wishes to achieve a specific goal or goals, and the life coach facilitates, empowers, and guides you to achieve those goals. The life coach has a number of tools and strategies available to facilitate this process.
​
These include realistic goal setting and monitoring, negative belief modification, attitude adjustment, training in discipline(s), increasing self-awareness & self-control, strategies to resolve re-occurring problems, development of resilience, creating awareness of views, beliefs, perceptions, and perspectives, truth, common sense, and personal experience.
