DIY Life Coaching: Can I Be My Own Life Coach? — 15 Comments

  1. This is a concept I like. But man it must take some fortitude to pull it off. Do you think it’s possible for people to still make changes at the same pace though? I mean it’s a cool idea, I just can’t imagine that it wouldn’t mean a slower rate of progress.

    • ‘Being your own life coach’ is not for everyone, you’re right. It takes strength and discipline.
      But if you have these attributes, I don’t think rate of progress is necessarily slow. Sometimes, all it takes is one new thought which lights things up in a way you’ve never envisaged before. And then… you leap forward.

  2. Living a balanced life is only half the battle of achieving a relative level of control in life. The other half is all about tapping into ones’ potential to self-develop as an individual and enjoy living life by design.This is where a professional life coach is able to offer a system that feeds positiveness and fire in the belly to take action to turn those initial dreams and goals into something tangible and sustaining.

    • I totally agree, being your own life coach is not about making your life ‘balanced’, it’s about making it what you want it to be. We’ve written a post on Lifestyle Design which complements this one and explains it further. Check it out.
      Thanks for your comment.

  5. Business consultation and people management is what I was meant to be doing. Is that one way of life coaching?

    • Hi Mika,

      If you look at our post which details how to create and use a Life Wheel then you’ll see that Life Coaching deals with every aspect of life, business/work and relationships included. Though normally the life coaching angle is to look more at fixing imbalances, blocks and stresses in different aspects of our lives that prevent us from moving forwards rather than more ‘technical’ business specifics (such as how teams are formed, how to network or how to communicate effectively) so there is some overlap (e.g. you could use limiting beliefs, compelling future etc to tackle these issues in a business setting) but then there are also more specific business & management tools and techniques where a business coach or consultant would deal with that area in more depth.

      I hope that makes sense but let me know if you’d like more info,

      cheers,
      Alan

      • Thank you Allan for teaching and telling me about life coaching. I love your site so much as it always helps me in everything.

  6. Just found your site and I love the concept. I am doing life coaching right now for three months to try it out, and I am enjoying the experience. I do believe it is helpful to take a look at one’s life and see how we can make it more satisfying and meaningful. Your post was great for me because I want to learn more about how to be my own life coach when my coaching sessions are over. Thanks for sharing!

    • No problem at all Cathy and thanks so much for leaving a comment to let us know it was of value.

      Feel free to let me know if you have particular questions about any aspect of Life Coaching either here or privately and I’ll do what I can to help,

      take care & best wishes,
      Isabelle
