“Can’t I just get my friends or family members to coach me?” Well you can if you like, but it can open up a sour can of worms and might get you more bogged in the ditch. Of course we talk to friends and family about issues; although, how often are we given advice we don’t need or did not ask for. How often are their opinions ever so gently and kindly forced down our throats. It can and does happen and can result in conflict and you are not really moving anywhere or any the wiser.
Also families can actually be part of your goal or issue and having them involved can make it extremely difficult to come to a resolution and tough to move forward for a better life for you.
Coaches are trained to help you discover your full potential, sometimes well meaning family members can get in the way of our goals. In my case, for example, I travelled to South East Asia and completely fell in love with a country, culture and the food of that country. I felt a strong connection to the place. So strong that I went home and told my family and friends I was packing in my 11 year IT career to move to South East Asia. Of course I was given a lot of advice and much of it was deterring me from doing it. I knew I had to get this country out of my system and wanted to go but the nay sayers in my family really impacted my thoughts and that made me question my intended actions. Luckily I was able to work through it and make my own decisions with the help of a coach and made the move where I spent 8 happy years.
So you can see from my own story friends and family can throw a spanner in the works by giving advice and deterring you from making changes in your life that are potentially fufulling and perhaps the best move you have ever made. Life coaches will never dissuade you from your goals but have the skills to help you to come up with the best solutions and decisions for you.
