Is Life Coaching right for me?

If your life is exactly as you would like it to be then the answer is probably no; however, if there are areas of your life you would like to change or to improve, whether it's related to work, relationships, health, spirituality or just feeling happier in your own skin, then the answer may well be yes.



Is it worth the investment?

Increasing numbers of people who want to achieve more in their lives are using a Life Coach.  Until you try it, you can't really understand how much it can improve your life.  Giant Steps offer a 100% money back guarantee if you can honestly say that you still haven't moved forward through being coached.  So Life Coaching from Giant Steps is being offered to you at no risk to you at all.



Can I coach myself?

Yes you can, it's called will-power and self talk.  The problem with this is that it only works when you remember to use it or are in the mood.  The best athletes and footballers have coaches because they know the value of having someone work directly with them to keep them focused.  Even Life Coaches themselves have their own life coach to keep them moving towards their own goals and dreams and to help them live out their purpose.



What will a life coach do for me?

  • Help you to clarify your goals.
  • Provide you with the tools for action and the learning that leads you to the results you want.
  • Hold you true to your values.
  • Accept you for who you are.
  • Listen without judgment.
  • Hold the flag at the top of the hill and encourage you to press on.
  • Celebrate your victories and help you learn from your set-backs.
  • Always tell you the truth about where you sell yourself short.
  • Show you that you are perfect as you are


What do you think are the main benefits of life coaching?

The best life coaching is both practical and supportive, so helping people to cope with stresses and make real practical changes, and providing an independent source of expertise to draw on to get out of a situation if you feel stuck. People tend to welcome the benefits of speaking to someone who is both impartial and supportive to help them move forward.



Is Life Coaching really just therapy in disguise?

No, coaching is not therapy. Therapy often addresses dysfunction, whereas coaching enables a person to move forward and achieve greater success. However, the only similarity is that they both enable us to recognise the limiting nature of our beliefs, feelings and decisions, and thus enable us to understand that by choosing to alter our self limiting beliefs we can achieve greater positive outcomes.



Is Life Coaching like mentoring?

Coaching does not primarily involve giving advice. Instead, it raises people's awareness of their own capabilities, and is based on the presupposition that people are naturally creative, resourceful and capable of achieving better results in all areas of their lives.



Is it true that successful people don't need coaching?

Testimonials demonstrate the successful people increase their success through coaching.



Does Life Coaching take up a lot of time?

Coaching can be done over the telephone and so cuts out travelling time and costs and is most definitely time well spent focusing on achieving powerful results.



Isn't coaching just an expensive luxury?

Many people find that making their lives more effective and profitable, is more a necessity rather than a luxury. We owe it to ourselves to make the most of our lives, don't we?

Try it. It could be the most valuable present you ever give yourself!

After all, if YOU don't make the decisions in your life, someone else will!
