Coaching toward a fulfilling life journey
“Coaching is inspiring an individual or team to produce a desired result through personalized teaching, expanding awareness, and designing environments.”
— Dave Buck, 2004
What is a life coach?
You may recall that a coach once inspired and guided you or someone you know to achieve success in some endeavor. Many men identify with this experience and seek personal trainers to assist them in achieving health and body goals. They seek mentors at work, financial planners to support them in achieving their financial goals. So why not consider the possibility of a life coach being of assistance in other areas of your life?
You may have ideas about coaches based on past experience. If a coach has negative associations in your experience, Dave invites you to set aside that association. Consider the possibility that a coach is available to support your exploration, discovery, and growth in pursuit of the rich and fulfilling erotic life you desire. Imagine what it would be like to have someone interested in and committed to your growth and progress.
How it will work for you
Coaching is as individual as your life. I work with clients primarily over the phone, establishing a schedule for regular calls at a convenient time, usually three times a month. Our conversations begin with a check-in of how you are doing and what you have achieved since we last talked, with a focus on the commitments you made on the last call.
We then agree on a couple of things you are working on as the focus of our work for the call. We may explore how you might approach a situation, set goals, explore why your progress has stalled, and see how you can create environmental support.
A coach is not a parent, drill sergeant, or all-knowing guru. I will help you to view your life from new perspectives, especially the places where you find yourself stuck. I have developed deep listening skills and I ask provocative questions. I will be honest in my feedback and tell you what I see — more often than not, this is in the form of praise, appreciation, or recognition of your greatness. We also celebrate failure, as failure is the doorway to success.
Why hire a life coach?
A coach will assist you to see who you really are and what you can become.
A coach will partner with you to achieve your dreams and goals.
A coach will help you uncover the barriers to your success.
A coach will hold your vision of and take a stand for your future as you grow into that future.
