I can’t make you change.
I’ll say it again. I can not make you change.
My coaching philosophy is to be the trusted supportive companion while you do the work. It is work. Work can be a positive and joyful experience. It is my deepest wish for you to have the change you seek.
As your coach, I’m here to be a comfortable, safe, non-judgemental feedback and support provider. I encourage informed self-direction. My biggest job is reinforcing your good habits (yes, you have them) and helping you build on them, using the information you already know, and helping you get additional trustworthy information to inform your decision-making about your health.
I can work with “just tell the me what to do.” Maybe you need that jump start. I will have ideas and opinions that I will share. The way that I share them depends on how you prefer we communicate. My own coach once suggested I become a dominatrix-style coach. Not sure about that as my special coaching skill, but I can go there if that works. And, it will be safe, sane, consensual, and caring.
The thing is, eventually coaching is going to end (unless you want to pay me for life…I’d be down for that *grin*). When coaching ends how will you find the motivation to keep with your habits and sustain your change, or make even more change? There can’t always be somebody there to tell you what to do and kick your ass for not doing it. If you become more self-motivated you’ll be more likely to keep up with your work.
I prefer to work with “help me choose what to do and how to do it”. I think your change will be a bit easier to make if it’s (mostly) self-directed. You might feel stronger making your changes if you choose your path yourself. If we take this approach I would help you evaluate your motivation and goals, take some baseline data for assessing progress, and choose for yourself based on the information we discuss. At that point I’m here to help you be accountable to yourself, however you decide to create and sustain your change. Not sure how? I have tips, tricks, ideas, referrals, and all the knowledge to impart that my training provides.
