Quite simply, at Create-a-Life, we help people discover who they are, what they want, and how to create meaningful change and transformation to attain a rich, fulfilling life.

Who do we help and how do we help them?

While we work with all kinds of people, we specialise in working with:

• Service providers like teachers, lecturers, coaches and holistic practitioners (whether practicing, struggling or aspiring) who desire greater motivation, focus, balance and fulfilment in their life and work
• Creative artists (whether practicing, struggling or aspiring) to help them move through blocks to productivity, increase their confidence and find their creative flow
• Individuals who are feeling lost in a personal crisis or life transition (divorce, bereavement, "mid-life crisis", health challenge, change of career, etc), and are looking for self-connection and clarity to move forward
• Individuals who sense that they are "stuck" or drifting around in the wrong lifestyle (career, home situation, etc) and wish to discover a path for themselves that is in line with their passions and values, and that gives them a greater sense of purpose
• Mid-life couples who are thinking about starting a new business together, and wish to ensure that they can communicate effectively and creatively as partners in both personal and business life.

What is coaching at Create-a-Life REALLY about?

Not long ago, one of my clients reached a turning point in his coaching with me where he said “Wow! Is THAT what coaching is all about? Why don't you tell EVERYONE about this?” So, I decided that maybe he is right, and that perhaps people might benefit from knowing more about what coaching is and what it is not.

First of all, ultimately, coaching is not about “problem solving”. Surely, problems get solved as a result of coaching, but the real purpose of coaching is to empower the client by increasing self-awareness so he/she can create a life that is rich, fulfilling and full of purpose and meaning. But, as one Co-Active coach once said, “Fulfilment is a radical act.” Many of us, if we are lucky, wake up one day and realise that the life we are living isn't bad, but it is just barely above the line of “ok”. So coaching puts you in touch with what you really want in life, and holds you accountable to achieve your dreams, however big or small they might seem to you right now.

Here is the second thing you should know. Coaching is not a “quick fix”. Actually, it does start to works really fast. Most of my clients feel a shift after the very first session (or even in the consultation). But coaching is not about patching up temporary problems and then having you go back to living life the “same old way”. What is the point of paying to get rid of something that will only return again later? That is why I ask my clients to commit to a minimum of 12 weeks with me, so we can build structures that can help them make permanent changes in their lives. It is about becoming independent, empowered and living a “life on purpose”.

Thirdly, coaching is NOT about making "to do lists" and ticking them off. Some people have the impression that coaches are there to give you all kinds of assignments, and to make you feel guilty if you haven't done them. I don't need to do that for you. You are probably already doing that yourself! Actions have no meaning unless they are driven by your own core values. That is where coaching comes in. When we work together, we work towards your own self-discovery, coupled with your own personal commitment to action. What is meaningful, is meaningful to you and you alone. I don't tell you what that is. As your coach, I reflect to you what I see, so that you may see yourself more clearly, honestly and powerfully.

And here's the last thing I would like you to know: the essence and the power of Co-Active coaching is that all human beings--and that means you--are naturally creative, resourceful and whole. And as your coach, it is quite probable that I believe you to be even bigger, more capable, more resourceful and more powerful than you possibly see yourself to be...at least for the moment.

So, before we beging our work together... stop... take a deep breath... and ask yourself: Are you ready to trust yourself as naturally creative, resourceful and whole, even if you have not in the past? Are you ready to grow, so that you can live the life you know you are meant to live? Are you ready to be fully open and honest in our work together, so you can see clearly what you truly want in your heart? Are you ready to be courageous and to go past your "edge", knowing that your coach is there, believing in you every step of the way?

If you answer "YES" or even "I really WANT to say yes" then take the first step on your journey... then book a FREE, no obligation consultation right now. Just click: http://www.create-a-life.co.uk/free_consultation_request.html.
