What is Life Coaching?

Life Coaching is like having a personal trainer for your life. We combine a proven, step-by-step process with teaching, encouragement, math, budgets, habit training, systems, best practices and a wee bit o’ tough love. We typically meet weekly for 30 minute sessions. We do not sell any products and we are not counselors. There are no long-term contracts, you can stop coaching at any time.

How long do I need a life coach?

Some people choose to work with a coach as they work to achieve a specific goal or project. Others see it as a lifetime investment. At Ideal Balance, you can end the coaching relationship at any time as our contract is month-to-month.

What can you expect during a coaching session?

First and foremost, you can expect uninterrupted time and space to focus on you. There are no tangents. There is no back and forth. This is just 100%, uninterrupted focus-on-you time.

Next, expect some pretty mind-blowing moments where you really begin to understand yourself, your thoughts and your actions in a brand new way.

After our initial session, we will create a plan that we will help you carry out to achieve your goals. Each session will involve a check in on the action steps from the last session, goal status, obstacles and successes and homework for the next session.

I’m successful. Shouldn’t I be able to reach my goals on my own?

While many successful people have achieved great things in the past without a life coach, life is increasingly complex, busy and there are many things pulling for your attention. Just like Olympic athletes, you will go further faster with a coach who can help you distill your thoughts and desires, provide objective feedback and perspective along with personalized encouragement and support.
