Why am I confused?

In coaching, we believe that we all have our own answers within and we are the experts of our own life. Coaching rests on the premise that each person is whole, complete and does not need fixing or advice to reach their full potential.   

If we are whole and complete, and if we have our own answers, then this naturally begs the question, “If I have all of my own answers, then why do I feel lost? If I am whole and complete, then why do I feel so fragmented today?”
 
Coaching provides powerful answers to these questions. These are the five teachings found in coaching:

1. We are whole and complete, but we don't always realize it.
2. Blind-spots, fear and limiting beliefs block us from experiencing our wholeness. 
3. Coaches provide outsider observations helping us see with clarity, eliminate self-sabotage and locate blind-spots. 
4. Having a skilled outsider helps us see the trees from the forest so that solutions go from cloudy to clear.
5. When we give ourselves space to be seen and heard in a safe, creative, exploratory setting, our Highest-Self has a chance to show us the way.

We may not have all the answers right away when a problem arises, but they are within. They do become clear when we give them the space to surface.  

The Course in Miracles teaches that our true-self carries wisdom's that are born from our wholeness. Yet, the fears of the ego block that wisdom and so we look to others for solutions. Furthermore it teaches that the ego is loud, judgmental and quick to cause panic. The true self will never panic, or yell. It's answers lead only to peace and empowerment. 

A skilled coach helps us step into the true-self and shed the false. Being coached is a powerful and transformative process, rooting us deeper into our potential through our own wisdom. 

Coaching unlocks new possibilities showing us that we do indeed have our own answers, we did all along, even when it didn't seem like it. We are indeed whole and complete, we have been our entire lives, even when it didn't feel like it.   

This is why coaching feels magical, yet is also so practical.  Coaching illuminates new possibilities, yet is grounding.  Coaching captures the essence of potential.
