“The main reason people come to see me is confidence. If you think you are\u00a0going to fail anything, whether it is taking a driving test or public\u00a0speaking, you will fail! Therefore, a coach can assist you look at why you\u00a0lack confidence, and what you can do to boost your confidence in these\u00a0areas. Self-talk is key. If you beat yourself up every time you make a\u00a0mistake when you are driving or taking a test , you are only going to make\u00a0it more difficult for you next time. It’s important to soothe and encourage\u00a0yourself, not terrify yourself!\u00a0 We really are our own worst enemies in the\u00a0way that we speak to ourselves.<\/p>\n
“Saying that, everyone is different but whatever issue we are dealing with,\u00a0I find it often comes down to a lack of belief in ourselves, low self-worth\u00a0or self-esteem. \u00a0Once you work on these things, the changes are simple!\u00a0Most people work to change something outside of them rather that what is\u00a0inside of them such as their belief system and values.\u00a0 For me, inside out\u00a0is key!”<\/p>\n
What should a person expect when they engage you as a life coach, how\u00a0long would you spend with them (typically) to help achieve their\u00a0objectives, and what is the process?<\/strong><\/p>\n “For me, the average time I spend with clients is around 5-7 hours.\u00a0 For\u00a0most people, this is sufficient time for them to learn the skills and tools\u00a0they need to achieve their individual objectives and start to feel better\u00a0about themselves!\u00a0 \u00a0I work with my clients around 1 hour every\u00a0 2 weeks and\u00a0set them homework to do in between each session. This way, any changes are\u00a0integrated and long lasting. All the homework is tailored to the client and\u00a0it can include a range of things. \u00a0 I also do coaching on the phone and\u00a0via Skype.<\/p>\n “Again, everyone is different so there is no right or wrong time to engage a\u00a0coach.”<\/p>\n What questions should you ask your life coach to ensure they’re the right\u00a0fit for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n “It’s good to have a chat with the coach first to make sure that they are\u00a0experienced and qualified in the area you are looking for assistance in.\u00a0Unfortunately, coaching is not highly regulated so it’s important to find\u00a0the right coach for you. \u00a0Look around and recommendations are always good.\u00a0Ask them what processes they would use to help you but also make sure that\u00a0they are not just reading from a text book and have genuine experience.\u00a0It is important to have a good rapport with your coach as well and feel you\u00a0can trust them.<\/p>\n Are there any other techniques\/methods\/treatments that you would recommend\u00a0that augment life coaching and improve its results?<\/strong><\/p>\n “We are all individuals so its good to find activities\u00a0which can support your overall health and wellbeing. I used affirmations and visualisations in my coaching as well as a number of other techniques.<\/p>\n “Again, find what works for you. I don’t believe in struggling to do\u00a0anything that you don’t enjoy. Life is about finding the flow of things you\u00a0bring you joy and happiness, not struggling to do things you think you\u00a0should do.”<\/p>\n Lisa can be found via her website<\/a>.<\/p>\n And remember to check out our other guides on using affirmations to help you pass your driving test<\/a> and using visualisation to help you pass your driving test<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Should you use a life coach to help you pass your driving test?
