Personal life coaching embraces every aspect of life and aims to bring fulfillment, balance and success to any and all areas where change and expansion is wanted. Life coaching looks at where you are now, where you wish to be and how to design the transition between those points. Life coaching is action driven, rooted in purpose and meaning so that positive and powerful change and long-term success can be created.
“Your playing small does not serve the world. Who are you not to be great?” ― Nelson Mandela
A professional life coach supports and encourages growth by exploring current strengths, identifying limiting beliefs, thought patterns, behaviors and obstacles in order to co-actively design a powerful mindset and meaningful action towards ones defined goals and desired results.
Life coaching is an empowering process, which puts the client in the driver seat to optimize their life. The personal life coach will evoke insight and contemplation by asking thought provoking and powerful questions to help examine things from different perspectives. The coach will listen deeply, provide input and suggestions, as well as challenge, support and encourage the client throughout the process. Life coaching helps break up big goals into manageable and exciting steps and entails the essential component of accountability, which distinguishes it from other forms of personal growth strategies, keeping the client in action and on track.
A life coach is different from a therapist or a mentor. The focus of life coaching is an exploration resulting in actions, which are anchored in the present to create the desired future.
Ideal life coaching candidates share a common trait in that they want some sort of change in their lives. And while they may be able to achieve some of it on their own, a coach will likely help them get there faster. While it may be a common misconception that people come to life coaching because something in their life is broken, it’s often times the opposite. Life coaching is sought after because there is already a level of success and fulfillment which reveals that there is probably more opportunities and areas to transfer that to by fine tuning one’s life skills and aligning deep purpose with ones focus and goals.
Change is often times not easy and requires persistence and courage. However, the reward of living an authentic and deeply fulfilling life, is priceless.
Areas of Personal Life Coaching
The client may bring different topics to focus on each personal coaching session, picking what is the most relevant and urgent in their life at that time.

“Mia is an extremely talented coach who helps me gain clarity in my life. She has supported me though some big and challenging life changes and has made me find my own answers for how to manage my new life in the best way. Not only does life looks a lot clearer and brighter after our sessions but I always feel very energized, ready to take on life with its obstacles. The result of coaching is that I feel good about myself, it helps me overcome my limitations and we work out a path to achieve goals. I also love the playful ways to discover my real desires, fears and feelings. It has been a great way to discover myself.”
