| Life Coaching The Refocus Way |
Life Coaching is a new personal development phenomenon, which began in the United States, but is now sweeping Europe. It is designed to determine, plan and implement life/career goals, with its powerful mentoring strategies, also encouraging the development of all personal skills to the optimum. It leads to creating a balanced success and a meaningful purpose in life.
Life coaching is a way to realise your true potential through a process of uncovering and then eliminating destructive behavioural and thinking patterns in your life in a supportive, caring and inspirational environment. This is achieved by empowering people with specific tools and scientifically tested techniques that work. Coaching is a solution-focused approach to personal development that can assist you in making lasting change in all areas of life. |

| The Refocus Commitment To You |
Imagine a relationship where the total focus is on you, on what you want in your life, and on what will help you achieve it.
Imagine someone listening, not only to your words, but also to what's behind them - who even listens to the spaces between the words. Someone in tune with the nuances of your voice, your emotion, and your energy - who is intent on receiving everything you communicate. Someone who listens to the very best in you, even when you can't hear it in yourself.
Imagine someone who will hold you accountable and keep you moving forward toward your dreams and goals.
Imagine a relationship with someone who is totally curious about your dreams and aspirations, what makes you tick, what you value, what you are most passionate about in your life - a person who will help you clarify your goals and provide the tools for action and learning that lead to the results you want.
Imagine a relationship in your life with a person who is sometimes even more committed to what you want in your life than you are.
Imagine what it would be like if someone knew your values and life purpose and was holding you true to them - someone who would hold the flag at the top of the hill, encouraging you to press on, someone to celebrate your victories and help you learn from your setbacks.
Imagine a relationship with someone who will absolutely tell you the truth - the truth about where you are strong, and where you sell yourself short. Someone who knows you can handle it and knows that's what you want. Someone who sees how big you can be and constantly holds that big image for you - even when you can't hold it for yourself.
Imagine someone who listens to you without judgment and allows you to show emotion - in fact accepts you without analysing you. Imagine you get to talk to this person every week, even when you've just made a mess of things or when you've had great success.
This is the place you visit regularly and consistently ... to consolidate, to integrate, and to push on.
Imagine a relationship where you finally break free of those self-limiting conversations you have been having over the years - where the voices of sabotage are simply noticed for what they are and the powerful part of you is always encouraged. |

| The Refocus Starting Point |
 |
Our life experience teaches us that some things can't change. That lesson is wrong, but it seems incontrovertibly true. So pessimism and skepticism are rife but invisible traps, which keep us, exactly where we don't want to be. Coaches can undo that stuff. |
 |
|
|
The life we currently lead defines who we currently are. It reflects us. It is a product of our limitations. When you read a self-help article, you bring along those same limitations to your reading. To change our life, we must remove our limitations. That involves challenging questions and changes, which we cannot usually originate from within ourselves. |
|
|
|
We often lack the tools and thinking skills to complete a balanced analysis of any situation. As those familiar with NLP will know, the human mind, bent by emotion (especially fear) will distort, omit, and exaggerate our world to fit our self-image. In a real sense we have seriously bad vision. This is crippling when it comes to sorting out tough problems. Coaches know how this works and can bring external insights to clarify your view of your world. |
|
|
|
Society trains us in many ways that don't serve our happiness. We often develop unhelpful attitudes (for example, an "entitlement mentality" (the world owes us happiness), low stamina and fear of change. Coaches know about these and can compensate for you - keeping you focused, rational, positive and productive. |

|
|
Like doctors, coaches aren't fundamentally better people - but they do have some exceptionally useful training, techniques and experience which they can bring to the service of your happiness. |
