Feel like you're lacking a little direction in life? Here's why a life coach might be just what you need
Life Coaching Services for 21+ / Life & Work Balance / Life Transitions / Career Journey / Retirement Review / Post-Therapy Starting Anew Coaching -- (visit our website at Life Avenue Coaching to schedule a free consultation and life assessment to see if life coaching is for you) *Greetings and welcome to my profile here at Bark.com. I'm Coach Morales, Mentor, Certified Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner, Trauma & Recovery Life Coach Professional. By end of 2022, I will be recognized with ICF - the International Coach Federation having an ICF Associates Certified Coach credential. This credentialing is the professional "Gold Standard" of coaching. Finally, I am honored to be recognized and a member of the ISFP - The International Society of Female Professionals, USIDHR Business Consultant, USIDHR Human Rights Consultant. Prior to Life Avenue Coaching, I held more than 15 years of extensive professional experience in sales, sales coaching and training, brand marketing and client services. I know first-hand what it is to go through the processes of transition, change, and reinventing oneself in both life and career. I also understand the challenges that comes with it. I currently coach and mentor clients throughout the city area, facilitating their self-growth. I recently expanded to virtual nationwide coaching as a way to provide more support to clients that need the services during these tough times. I have worked with people of diverse backgrounds and all ages (21+). I am a firm believer that everything in mind, body and soul must align for you to move forward. If you are feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands at any phase whether starting out a new career, balancing work & life, transitions, retirement life and or post therapy, my services aim to introduce clarity, focus, mindfulness and self-motivation. It is the unknown and uncertainties of life that contribute to the emotional and physical stress of everyday life. When you book with me, you will receive virtual coaching and mentoring as a complete package to your overall well-being and success.
I am absolutely passionate about helping people achieve their goals whether it is small or large. I know first hand what it is to undergo the processes of life changes, self reinvention, revamping the thought process, having a realistic view point and the power of the mind. My joy comes when I see my clients breaking barriers that they thought were impossible. Being a coach allows me to partner with my clients in their journeys, and that alone is a valuable opportunity for me because it is my first passion to help as many people as possible one goal at a time.
My 15 plus years of work experience revolved around training and mentoring individuals to succeed in their work positions. I've also had to coach and train myself at times, which made me realize how much I enjoy taking on the challenge and process of change, goal setting and then succeeding at it. Sometimes we just need someone to ask the right questions in order to find the solution. We all have the answers within us, we just have to learn to find them.
Before I take a client, I always make sure that the client understands what coaching is and how Life Avenue Coaching can help them achieve their ultimate goal. I would never partner with someone that I felt I could not help. I'm transparent about my work and approach in coaching. Just as there are different types of services for various needs (therapists, mentors, counselors and coaches) - I am adamant about the client receiving the right type of service for their needs. I am careful to assess the expectations of my clients for a successful outcome in the coaching process. I strongly believe in the benefits of coaching and how much it can transform someone's life. I offer a free consultation that allows for questions and understanding about Life Avenue Coaching and how the coaching services work.
Life Avenue Coaching is 100% virtual. Clients have the option to zoom, call, and or email. We offer a first free consultation that ranges between 15 & 25 minutes to determine if coaching is right for the client. After this, there is a sliding scale ranging from $50-$75 per session. The sessions range from 45 minutes to an hour. Coaching sessions are usually held on a weekly basis but can be adjusted to the clients needs. Both client and coach will determine the best approach together. (Accepting clients 18+ at this time)
The flexibility of virtual coaching allows for the safest approach to both client and coaches against Covid-19.
How much do Life Coaches cost?
Your professional life coach will be able to advise you on the full range of coaching available and will be able to help you select the best one to suit your needs. They will also be able to answer any questions you may have. Use Bark to get free quotes and find a trusted life coach today.
How many sessions with a Life Coach will I need?
You can have as many or as few life coaching sessions as you like. Many life coaches operate over the phone or via the internet so the sessions can easily fit around your schedule. Some people hire a life coach once every few months, some people have a session once a week.
What happens during a Life Coaching session?
Life coaching sessions will typically last up to an hour. Often after an initial assessment, sessions can be conducted over the phone, face to face, over email, via Skype/Zoom and occasionally through instant messaging.
During the session, your life coach will ask you a number of questions, such as what you want to achieve in life, what areas you're unhappy with and where you'd like to see yourself in the future. Although a life coach will work with you, it’s often up to you to challenge or reflect upon certain ideas you have to help you move forward with your life. You will never be forced to make any decisions you don't feel comfortable with and all sessions will be confidential.
What is the difference between Life Coaching and Therapy?
Life coaching is focused on your present and your future. Coaching accepts your current reality and looks to improve your outcome moving forward. Life coaches are not health professionals and they do not diagnose you. By contrast, therapy focuses on your past and looks to delve into past actions and patterns. It is analytical but not action-oriented.
Does insurance pay for a Life Coach?
Most mainstream health insurance providers do not cover the costs of life coaching because it is not considered a mental health profession in the same way therapists and counsellors are.
What should I look for in a Life Coach?
Life coaches do not need to have any formal or academic qualifications but you may want to look for life coaches who possess an industry-specific qualification, such as the Life Coaching Diploma or Personal Performance Diploma (PPD).
You may also want to ask for testimonials of their recent work. You could also look at their profile page on Bark, which shows you reviews from past customers who have used their life coaching services.
What does a Life Coach do for you?
A life coach is a trained professional who aims to help and guide individuals to make, meet and exceed personal and professional goals. They support clients on a journey to rediscover their own strength and abilities. This can include excelling in the workplace, becoming happy and fulfilled at home, exploring your potential, managing health conditions and achieving life ambitions.
By harnessing techniques based on core psychological principles and intuition, life coaches empower clients and provide a toolkit of teachings to confidently face difficult challenges and overcome emotional barriers.
Life coaches can specialise in one of these particular areas of coaching: career coaching, executive business, group coaching, health and wellbeing, performance management, personal development, relationships, retirement, spiritual and youth coaching.
How do I find the right Life Coach?
Rapport is one of the most important parts of life coaching. If you feel uncomfortable with your professional, you are unlikely to gain much from the session. It is advisable to get in contact before you book a session to meet your life coach so you can gauge how comfortable you are in their presence. It is worth talking to a few potential life coaches and ask questions.
Can I get a Life Coach online?
Yes! As long as you have a strong internet connection, then your life coach can deliver sessions via an online video chat platform. Alternatively, it can be done over the phone.
