Week 7

Life coaches and those in search of life coach training, are you repeating your mistakes and expecting different results?

After almost two months of walking around without my glasses I have finally caved and decided to go to the eyeglass store. I really do not like spending money, but who does? The only reason why I've decided to go buy new glasses is that my headaches are getting progressively worse from straining my eyes every day. Now it is even difficult to do any work on the computer because I cannot stand looking at it for more than a few minutes. If I didn't have to go on the computer I probably wouldn't, but since I am a college student and my life seems to always require technology... I have no other choice.

The reality is that I probably should have decided to buy new glasses as soon as I lost my other pair. Yet, like many people I choose to make things more difficult for myself. If you are someone who is having trouble finding direction in your life and have thought about getting a life coach, you may be somewhat like me. Maybe you have thought about getting a life coach but never proceeded to actually find one because of expenses. But isn't it more cost effective to have someone help you do things right the first time around?



If you are a life coach you may be having similar problems to both myself and your clients. Perhaps you are using the same techniques and they just aren't working, but like most of us you continue to do the same thing expecting different results. Don't be like the teachers I had in middle school. You know, the ones who just start speaking louder and slower but say the same things over and over again hoping it will make sense to everyone in the class. Take your own strategies and integrate them with techniques from other individuals. You are much more effective at life coaching if you don't just give advice but take advice as well.
