Personal experiences with life coaching
What real people are saying about life coaching...
-
I have had a recent coaching experience with Luannah Arana that was extremely powerful and helped me clear decades of pain in my body. Her approach was very perceptive, gentle, and affirming, and the results have been incredible. She quickly attuned to my energy and distress, and empathetically guided me through an intense episode of physical and emotional distress with both her soothing voice and a song she sang to settle all of the energy and distress I was experiencing and releasing. I have been engaged in deep inner healing and evolution for over two decades, and this is one of the very most powerful and beneficial sessions I have ever had. She's a beautiful human being with great gifts. I feel blessed at having discovered her and worked with her.

I was stagnant in my career. I needed a new start. I hired a career coach and we mapped out a strategy and figured out where my actual passions were. I ended up in a much better career for me, so much more a fit. It took about 4 months of working together, but the results will last a lifetime. Definitely the best decision I have made!

I have always struggled with my weight. Nothing seemed to work. Finally I got a health coach. We worked together to find out what helped me stay motivated and in control. She suggested some ideas but mostly it was based on my own experience (she always said "every foot takes a different sized shoe!")
Well it worked... 6 months later and I am down 20 lbs! This is STUBBORN baby weight that I have been lugging around for 8 years. Ecstatic!

I've had a business coach for the past five years and I have grown my own start up from a one person affair to a successful team. My business has grown more profitable and I have also been able to create better strategies for myself around work. I have learned to work ON my business not IN it :)
When people think coach, they might think of football or soccer. The term life coach is not necessarily known that well. It's too bad because coaching has really been useful to me.

Is life coaching worth the time and the money?
The burning question on people's minds before they start coaching is: Is life coaching really worth it? Can I really afford this? What about the time involved?
We all know our time is money. But what does that really mean? Well it could be as simple as the fact that when we lose an hour a day, we tend to order more convenience food, which ends up costing us much more in the long run. Or if we are taking longer than we wanted to lose that weight, we might be tempted to buy all sorts of 'get thin fast' pills, books and programs, which only reduce our wallet. And of course if we take an extra three months job searching, we have lost out on a good three months of income.
So we invest time and money every time we adopt a strategy.
If the time and money we would invest when we have a life coach working with us to tailor these strategies is less than the time and money we spend on the strategies we currently use, then we have come out on top. Even one hour or one dollar less is a savings. But you are likely to save much, much more, as the examples above indicate.
