There’s this old stereotype that men can’t “write women” because they don’t understand what it’s like. But tell that to Shakespeare, Chekhov, Flaubert, Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy! I’m pretty sure they wrote women damn well. Whenever you hear gender hustling, just plug your ears – it’s malarkey.
Are there very real differences between the genders, sure! But assuming that a male life coach can’t help a woman, and vice versa, is pure nonsense.
There’s an article on Salon written by Amanda Stern about life coaching that I like. It features life coach, Matthew Hussey who calls attention to the BS artists out there who claim to have “all the answers”.
According to the author of this article, if you have a life coach who has all the answers, you’re dependent on him. This is a brilliant point.
The word “coach” is deceptive because we typically associate it with sports, where competition and strength is key.
So when you hear the word tacked after “life,” it has to make you wonder: is there a way to win at life? And if so, is your life coach the Bill Parcells, coaching you to a Super Bowl championship?
In general, most people seek out a Life Coach in order to help them find the proper path for personal enrichment.
My job is to help you strike a proper balance within all aspects of your life, and prime you for success. I want to help you be happy with who you are and your current station in life. Here is a general, comprehensive overview of some of the reasons people come to me for Life Coaching.
One of a life coach’s biggest duties is to tell the client when they need to push pause and start again. A lot of the time, we get wrapped up in our process and motivation that it takes an outsider to look at the raw facts.
If you’re spending lots of time, energy and money on one track, and it’s not working at all, you might not see the reality of what’s going on. Why? Because you’re the one who believes in the investment, and that belief blinds you.
Let me stress though, as a life coach, that starting over is not a defeat. If anything, it’s an intelligent move. It’s a moment of self-discovery, and with that self-discovery comes a great deal of clarity that will help you plan your next move.
Once you press pause and start something new, the two of us will lay out a plan for your next course of action.
