Coaching Women and Girls To Win The Game of Life
Have you Considered Coaching for your personal, business, and or spiritual growth?
What is a Life Coach
A life coach is a person that works in partnership with an individual to help them reach their potential across all facets of life.
A life coach works with coaching clients to help them make improvements in their lives and move out of their stuck states. A life coach assumes that the client has the knowledge within themselves to make the improvements and the coach works more as a facilitator than as a counselor.
Coach Tee provides faith-based coaching to develop your purpose and bring clarity in pursuit of your passion in daily life. She has been coaching individuals and organizations for over a decade.
Benefits of Coaching
- Improved self-confidence – A study by the International Coaching Federation (IFC) discovered that 80% of people who hired a life coach reported an improvement in self-confidence.
- A different perspective – A life coach can provide a new and often helpful perspective on things.
- Heightened self-awareness – Being fully aware of your impact on others and recognizing your flaws, strengths, and unique personality attributes
- Achieve goals – being able to define your life goals and create a concrete, doable plan to achieve them.
- Discover clarity of purpose – Clarity of purpose is vital if you want to pursue your dreams, a life coach can assist you in creating this focus.
- Create a balanced life – Identify what balance looks like for you and define action steps to achieve more balance in your life.
Coaching is an investment in yourself that leads to a greater potential of successfully reaching your goals now and in the future.
