If you’re thinking about life coaching, here are seven benefits to keep in mind.
01
Better self-confidence
A study by the IFC reported that 80% of people who hired a life coach reported improved self-confidence.
02
A growth mindset
A benefit to coaching is a shift in perspective. I think of this as a growth mindset. With coaching, you can expand and nurture your growth mindset.
03
Improved self-awareness
Research found that only 10-15% of people studied were self-aware, despite people believing that they are self-aware. But with coaching, you have a guide to reflect on your progress and your levels of self-awareness. Coaching can help you build your self-awareness muscle and ultimately, gain more confidence in knowing who you are.
04
Improved relationships and communication skills
According to clinical research and the Institute of Coaching, your relationships will benefit from coaching. One study found that of those who participated in coaching, over 70% benefitted from improved work performance, relationships, and effective communication skills.
05
Better clarity and purpose
My mission at UALC is to help people everywhere live with more purpose, clarity, and passion. Data has shown that people who take part in coaching report a higher sense of purpose and meaning.
06
Improved overall well-being
Coaching can also help improve your overall well-being. Our data also shows that most people who start coaching in a “stuck” period get better. In fact, 77% will significantly improve their well-being state in three to four months with personalized support.
07
Lower stress levels (and better resiliency)
The same data cited above shows that with UALC, a benefit of coaching is lowered stress levels and better resiliency. What is Resiliency? Resilience is commonly defined as the ability to return to normal after a difficult situation, to bounce back from the big things. When we face disappointment, defeat, and failure, it is our resilience that helps us keep going and find a way to rise from the fall.
Life coaching vs. therapy
Is life coaching and therapy the same thing? In short, no. But there are some similarities. While life coaching and therapy are both focused on improving people’s well-being, there are distinct differences. Therapists require certain educational and license prerequisites to provide mental health care treatment.
Coaching, however, is focused on personal and professional development. Coaches will help their clients build and utilize the right tools to reach their goals. This means career, personal development, relationships, nutrition, divorce, grief, and even financial wellness.
Oftentimes, I work hand and hand with therapists. In most cases we work together with our clients, to give the best results and outcome in their treatment. If there is deeper emotional work or self-actualization that needs to happen, or they need to be monitored or medicated, a “therapist can be doing that work, (while coaches, Myself) can support that day to day.” In many ways, coaches help build mental fitness. It can offer a blueprint and empower you to achieve important goals step by step.
