About this ebook

In this volume, Life Coach, Nuala Duignan, brings together her considerable experience in the field to provide simple steps any one of us can take, to make our lives richer, more rewarding, more personally fulfilling. She talks about the benefits that Life Coaching has to offer each and everyone of us: opening our eyes to new perspectives; giving us an outcome focus that will help us to conquer our challenges Today!

Our attitude is our window to the world and this book discusses ways that we can banish negative feelings, by harnessing that which is positive in our environment, friendships, relationships, career, etc. One of the tools that she uses to illustrate this is The Wheel of Life. This helps us to understand which areas of our lives are working for us and which areas are out of sync.

Life Coaching originated in United Sates, in 1980’s, as a result of the realisation among therapists that many of their clients did not require therapy as such: rather a more professional support towards directing their future path. Also, it was noted the great success sports coaching was having in the United States. Today, it has become one of the fastest growing businesses in the world. As well as private individuals, companies are also discovering the positive benefits that Life Coaching offers to employees who avail of the support.

The process of Life Coaching encourages you to take ownership of your life, helps you focus on your strengths and become more self-aware. Stress, worry patterns and other negative habits we pick up are the result of failure to recognise our true vocation ('the work which we were born to do'). Coaching helps you to discover your real passion and find out what you love in life, allowing you to 'choose happiness daily'.

This book is for anyone who wants more out of life; who wants to take control of their own destiny and do 'the job that we were born to do.'

    Charting Your Life's Roadmap in an Uncertain World - Nuala Duignan

    Foreword

    About Coaching

    Coaching originated in United Sates in 1980’s as a result of the realisation of therapists that many of their clients did not require therapy as such, rather, more professional support towards directing their future path. Also, it was noted the great success sports coaching was having in the United States.

    Coaching has become one of the fastest growing businesses in the world today. As well as private individuals, companies are discovering the positive benefits of their employees availing of coaching support. The process encourages you to take ownership of your life and help you focus on your strengths and become more self-aware. Coaching helps you to discover your real passion and find out what you love in life.

    Why delay the process of moving on?

    If you feel you can do with some assistance in exploring those positives in your life, remember that help is never far away. Life Coaching will assist and support you in becoming more aware of the positive influences in your surroundings. Don’t delay the process of change.

    This book contains many questions for you to answer, offering you unexpected insights about yourself. Developing new habits and actively building on the positives in your life are my aims in this publication.

    As a Professional Life and Business Coach, over recent years, I have seen many people improve the quality of their lives. I have assisted my clients to help themselves towards more satisfied living. The people whom I have helped have ranged across all ages, income brackets and industries. Working with individuals towards the results they crave has little to do with my expertise, but rather their determination to find their own answers. This is because we each have an inbuilt roadmap for our own lives. This roadmap describes the life we are meant to live, the life that will bring us the most happiness and satisfaction with least effort.

    As a Life Coach, I find it exceptionally rewarding to work with people towards reaching their full potential. It is very fulfilling to observe their surprise as they achieve more than they ever thought possible, sometimes even discovering new strengths they were previously unaware of.

    Integrity, trust and a genuine belief in the individual are central to my coaching practice, coupled with a focused approach and a belief in the possibilities for each person. For me now, care, concern and focus on my clients and where they want to reach, is my driving force. I help them decide which goal they truly want but more importantly, support them on their journey towards reaching their goal. I feel passionate about the benefits of Life Coaching. In this book I include Testimonials from some of my clients.

    "We should not fear opening ourselves up to places that scare us. When we touch those places the light gets in."

    PART 1

    Life Coaching

    1.1 What Is Life Coaching?

    Coaching is about waking up to what is possible for you. It’s about bridging that gap from where you are to where you want to reach.

    Life Coaching is a one-to-one interactive relationship based upon confidentiality, respect and trust, where the Coach is a skilled listener. As a Life Coach I do not give advice, instead I encourage and challenge my client to find his/her own solutions. Your coach will hear all that is said but more importantly he/she will hear that which is unsaid.

    Life Coaching is a means of exploring choices and gaining new perspectives in a safe environment.

    The reasons for life coaching are the ones bouncing around in your head at this very moment. The question now is:

    Are you ready for the rewards that come with taking your game of life to the next level?

    1.2 Benefits of Life Coaching

    Life Coaching offers you that time, space and encouragement to focus on you, and what you would like to achieve. This process facilitates the possibility of real change in your life. Coaching is about helping you help yourself.

    Your Life Coach prompts you to focus on real issues you may be having. You will get that gentle yet firm push towards working on your desired results. You will be working towards a point where your life clicks. Your Coach will not provide you with the answers, as only you know what changes you need to make. Coaching will encourage you to figure things out for yourself, with a view to leaving the past behind and moving towards a more fulfilled future.

    What is important to remember is that you set the agenda, not the Coach. This is about Your Life.

    Are there aspects of your life about which you feel you have no choice?

    Do you know what is really important to you?

    Do you find yourself looking over your shoulder at the negative things that happened to you in the
