I first got involved with life and business coaching in 1999, and I have been amazed at how frequently people, and even coaches, misuse the life coaching process. People hire someone to coach them for a whole range of reasons. Unfortunately, many of these reasons have little to do with life coaching. Sad to say, far too many people will sell their coaching services to anyone who will pay them for almost any reason. Or worse, many others use a coach with no real purpose in mind. The only reason you will want to engage a life or business or executive coach is to accomplish your Coachable Goals. The real reason coaches go through all of their training and practice is to be able to coach you to make sure you DO accomplish your Coachable Goals. Yet, too many coaching prospective clients and people purporting to be life coaches do not understand the importance of having Coachable Goals or what they really are. Consequently, coaching commences without any real purpose. This is not good for the client, the coach, or coaching in general. To put this in perspective, this is like paying an attorney for no reason, or at least for something that has nothing to do with the law.    more »

Everyday at The Coach Connection we talk to people about "coachable goals." A coachable goal is simply, a future place you want to be that requires you to grow and improve as a person to achieve it. While this may be somewhat difficult to grasp at first, after looking deeper, you will discover a wonderful world that opens up and to the important accomplishments to which these goals lead. When we say a future place YOU want to be, this means you choose to move your life to a diffferent place from where you are today. You always focus on where you want to go, not on what you are leaving behind. You make this decision on your own when you are ready. And you control the process.    more »
