Karmic Ally’s unique perspective on Success Coaching

I’m often asked this question by professionals who are new to the world of coaching who think it is counselling, preparing for examinations, teaching or worse – spoon feeding for results.

It’s easy to find the definition of ‘Coaching’ on the internet. We all have our unique idea of what coaching is all about.

To understand the work I do with my clients that give results, here’s Karmic Ally Coaching’s perspective inspired by Moving Cheese and Campbell’s Hero Journey:

Coaching with the Karmic Ally Coach is a co-creative partnership that helps you identify the key area(s) of concern at the time of the engagement, create an empowering strategy and action plan that is authentic to your true self, maintains your integrity and enables you to “Move Your Cheese” from Point A to Point B in a faster, better and smarter manner. It is in accepting your call to a new adventure that starts the process of self-discovery leading to a holistic transformation resulting in an improvement in the quality of your personal and professional life.

I even wrote a whole post on how Moving Cheese can positively improve our career life balance!

Coaching is all about helping people get from where they are in their life to where they want to get to. If everyone is being honest with themselves, I think we could all do with improving an area or two of our lives.

But why don’t people do anything about it?

5 Barriers to genuine Career Success – Why You need a Coach’s Support

Everyone knows what to do in life to become more successful, but they don’t do what they know.

Here are 5 common barriers I’ve observed that also apply to professionals who want to get ahead in their careers.

• You’re so caught up in day to day demands and challenges you don’t have time or energy to focus on the big picture or what you wanted in the first place; or 

• You’re still on the original track for what you wanted for yourself and are successful but have outgrown that dream; or

• You’ve hit a roadblock and need more but cannot articulate or identify what is missing; or

• Even if You’ve identified the missing piece to your puzzle, you don’t have the support or road map to get out of the mess that you are finding yourself in; or

• You’re just plain scared to step out of your comfort zone. You’re restrained by your limiting beliefs and fears from doing what you know you need to do and need unbiased support from someone who will not judge you or your decisions.

This is why it is important to have a supportive Coach who’s a good fit for your personality and requirements.

It is a Coach’s job to help people get what they want from their careers or life by breaking down the barriers that people impose on themselves. They do this by holding them accountable for their results.

A good analogy is that of a Personal Fitness Trainer.

When you go to a gym, they will first ask you what your goals are: Losing weight? Build muscle? Build endurance? Etc.

They will then see where you are at with regards to your goal.

After establishing exactly what you want to achieve and the time period, the trainer will then devise a plan of action of what you must do in order to achieve your goals.

Along the way your personal fitness trainer will encourage and motivate you, ask you questions about your motivations and any barriers that you face and will help you.

The end goal of a trainer is to help you achieve your goals a lot quicker and more effectively than if you did it yourself.

A Coach does EXACTLY the same as a Personal Trainer but with areas of your career, business, relationships and life that are causing you concern. You know you need to change the status quo and do something about your situation but need support in making those changes.

How do you feel and deal with change?
