Balancing Work and Home – When You Need a Life Coach

balancing work and familyMost of us have a pretty good barometer when it comes to differentiating between work and home. Though we are the hardest working country in the world, most of us still know when to take the tie off and put our feet up on the ottoman. But some people don’t know that line. Some people bring their work home with them, or bring their domestic/familial problems to the office.

Now of course, everyone to some extent will have some bleeding between the two; you might have a call to take every now and then while at the dinner table, or you just might have to take an extra long lunch break to deal with your kid’s tantrum. But when that separation becomes too imbalanced, that’s when things get bad.

Why Would CEO’S Doubt a Need for Executive Life Coaching? Because They Are Ill Informed

I recent stumbled upon an article in the Huffington Post, regarding some CEO’s resistance to seeking out executive life coaching.  To quote the article,

“A recent study by the Stanford Business School found that nearly two-thirds of CEOs don’t receive executive coaching or leadership development. And almost half of senior executives in general aren’t receiving any, either. Paradoxically, nearly 100 percent said they would like coaching to enhance their development, as both Bloomberg BusinessWeek and Forbes reported in recent articles.”

It is understandable that free time in the schedule of a high powered CEO is more than a notion and those who have already achieved a significant amount of success without consulting with an executive life coach may not see the necessity of such a thing, but let me tell you, neglecting to do such a thing is only handicapping your company and limiting your overall potential for success.

Life Coaching: The Significance of Additional Emotional Support

The reason why people seek out a Life Coach is that they are looking for someone who is able to motivate them, and if the Life Coach is worth his salt, the Life Coach can motivate and support in ways their client wouldn’t believe was possible.

Life Coaching Starts With the Brain

Human brain glowing lateral viewThe brain is more complex than any computer ever invented. It is the central operator of every part of you; nothing (well, almost nothing) happens without starting first in the brain. So it makes sense that my life coaching is so brain-oriented.

Call it the hypnotist in me, but it doesn’t make sense to start anywhere else. While some life-coaches like to start you on an exercise program or a new technique, or to refer you to a whole bunch of other consultants, I like to start very simply with your brain. I find the mental habits you have that are restraining you from progress.

I might decide hypnosis is necessary to fix certain problems, but I can also determine that hypnosis is not necessary. I have people who come to me for hypnosis alone, hypnosis and life-coaching, or just life-coaching. But no matter where you land on that spectrum, all my therapy starts with the brain — and nowhere else. Call my office at 212-599-3195.
