1. Life coaching is like going to a psychologist.
WRONG !!
Even if, like a psychologist , your coach is empathetic and caring, coaching is focused on the futur and your coach will accompany you in your research for answers and solutions, to help you go forward.
2. You really need to have a problem to be in need of coaching.
WRONG !!
Coaching allows you to get a wider perspective. Quite often, we remain in our comfort zone, telling ourselves that it's not bad. Coaching can help you change "not bad" into "great!" !!
Why settle for little when you can make your dreams come true ??!!
3. If I go see a coach, I'll need to answer personal questions and I will have work to do.
WRONG & TRUE !!
In coaching, there's no obligation, you only answer the questions you want to answer and you will take the actions you'll decide to take.
However, coaching is a partnership between the coach and his/her client, and as in all partnership, both parties have to be committed to get results.
To help you in this process, your coach will provide a caring and confidential environment.
4. Coaching is for weak people who can't take decisions by themselves.
WRONG !!
Personally, I've always considered that asking for help is a strength. You need to be strong to admit that you can't do it alone.
However, in coaching, you alone will answer your questions, will find your solutions, and will take your own decisions !
5. A coach gives advice and tells you what to do.
WRONG !!
One of the principles of coaching are that you, the client, have all the resources you may need to go forward. Your coach, with the help of powerful questions and specialised tools, will accompany you on this road to progress, allowing you to become aware of your strengths, your talents, and all your sometimes hidden resources.
