Business Life Coaching
What Is It All About?
Imagine how you would feel if you knew you could create your life however you wanted. You want a great business (or career) and you are getting there, but it seems to consume your entire life.
Wouldn’t it be great if you could spend more time with family and friends, go to the movies or even on vacation, play some golf or tennis, ride your horse, volunteer more…(you fill in the blank)…and still have your great business? We all crave vibrant health, unique self-expression, meaningful work and fulfilling relationships. We long to play, love, relax, contribute and adventure; yet few of us know how to design a fully-expressed, richly blessed and deeply satisfying life.
As a business life coach, I give you the tools to improve the bottom line so that you can move from having your business BE your life to making it a PART of your life. I support your transformation from “business being your life to making life your business”.
  
Business Life Coaching - What is it Like?
Business life coaching involves supporting solopreneurs, micropreneurs, executives and upper level managers to create the business they want as effectively as possible so that they can enjoy the other aspects of life as well. This includes improving processes and procedures while implementing effective communications for increased efficiency.
Many times assessment tools such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) are used to move the client and her/his business forward more quickly. The coaching process actually calls forth the best in both the coach and the client. The coach elicits information which will help the client identify business goals as well as personal goals, recognize and remove obstacles to accomplishing those goals. Together the coach and the client will put systems in place to achieve those goals and to measure their success.
Business Life Coaching - How is it Different?
In our culture, professional success is greatly valued and sought after many times at the relinquishment of other rewarding and fulfilling aspects of life such as time for friends, family, health, recreation, spiritual development and volunteerism. Working with a business life coach will help you identify all that is important to you. Together we will prioritize what needs to be done to accomplish those things and then begin making them happen.
Since so much in life depends upon earning a living, we will begin strategizing how to increase your bottom line by evaluating your current business practices. We will then implement processes and procedures to increase efficiency and effectiveness. As less time and emotional energy is required to make your business work, you will have more time and energy to invest in other areas of your life.
Business Life Coaching - Why Do We Need It?
Business life coaching supports clients in choosing new perspectives while establishing new beliefs and behaviors. It calls them to identify and live from their passion and sense of purpose in life. Working with a coach helps clients focus on what is working in business and in life and build on that. They begin to make new choices and create new habits. Business life coaching provides the tools and the impetus to transform the client and business from where he/she is to where she/he wants to be.
Business Life Coaching - What Do You Look For?
A credible business life coach will have credentials such as an MBA as well as real world business experience. She will also be a Certified Coach and will have benefited from life coaching personally. A business life coach will be able to move you and your business forward more quickly if she is accomplished in the use of assessment tools such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). Your coach needs to have a strong, on-going commitment to her own personal awareness and growth as well as to her continued professional development of coaching skills, tools and business knowledge base.
All great business life coaches have these traits in common:
- Strong business skills
- Well-developed business practices and intuition
- Superb listening skills (both for the spoken and unspoken)
- A huge love for and desire to help people
- A willingness to consistently stand in truth
- A strong blend of loving-kindness and the ability to compassionately “call clients on their stuff”
- The gift of recognizing and articulating clients’ strengths
- A large capacity for non-judgment
- A positive orientation to life
- Good personal boundaries
- Non-attachment
- Empathy
I look forward to helping you create the life and the business you want…fully-expressed, richly blessed, deeply satisfying and wildly successful!
