- What types of coaching are there?
There are a number of different types of coaching. These include:
Life coaching- These coaches offer their clients a supportive and motivating environment to explore what they want in life and how they might achieve their aspirations. These coaches operate in highly supportive roles to those who wish to make some form of significant change happen within their lives.
Business coaching- Business coaching is the practice of providing support and occasional advice to an individual or group in order to help them recognise ways in which they can improve the effectiveness of their business.
Executive Coaching - There is a great deal of overlap between business and executive coaching. The key differences between business and executive coaching are that Executive coaches typically have a track record in professional and executive roles and often work exclusively with senior managers or with those who have been identified as having the potential for senior roles.
Skills coaching - Skills coaching has some commonalities with one-to-one training. Skills coaches & mentors combine a holistic approach to personal development with the ability to focus on the core skills an employee needs to perform in their role.

- What is Life Coaching
WHAT IS LIFE COACHING?
LIFE COACHING is about assisting the client close the gaps between where they are and where they want to be. Coaching focuses on the present realities and works towards the co-creation of workable strategies towards a person's future intentions. This could be in the areas of leadership, success or performance.
More often than not, the realities, beliefs and values in one's world are influenced by their past experiences. The coach helps you define your realities and assists you in looking at your situation through different points of view for positive outcomes.
A LIFE COACH is someone who believes in you, helps you define and set targets to reach your goals, challenges, encourages and motivates you, gives you feedback and support.
A professional life coach works with the client to identify what is missing or what is out of balance for them. Consider us your personal life strategists.
The coach does not solve problems for the client, but provides motivation and challenge in a way that empowers the client to decision.
Coaching began in sports, but is now applicable to every area in life. Basically coaching answers "How can I be better?"
While Life Coaching shares some characteristics of counselling, therapy, training, teaching, consultancy and mentoring, it is in no way to be construed as psychological counselling or any type of therapy. It does not focus deeply on past events, trauma or psychological incidences. It has a characteristic approach that is different from the above modalities. It is generative, focuses on the present and the future and understands that through taking action, that is when you will bring your desired results into reality.
The International Coaching Federation (ICF), of whom we are a member of, defines coaching as:
".... partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.
Coaching is a distinct service and differs greatly from therapy, consulting, mentoring or training.
Individuals who engage in a coaching relationship can expect to experience fresh perspectives on personal challenges and opportunities, enhanced thinking and decision-making skills, enhanced interpersonal effectiveness, and increased confidence in carrying out their chosen work and life roles."

HOW DOES COACHING WORK?
Most of us have a good idea where we want to be in our lives but are unsure how to get there. Sometimes we know what our goals are and how to get there, however, we find it hard to keep focused and on track. At other times, we want some clarity around our goals and actions so we can prioritise the ones that serve us best to get us where we want to be.
As your life coach we will hold you accountable for what you say you want and challenge you to get into action to achieve your goals. We will help you identify and shift your negative behaviours that hold you back and develop new positive strategies to move you forwards towards your goals. Awareness and responsibility are the keys to having the life you deserve.
We work with you to ask questions, listen, reflect and more importantly challenge you and your thinking, to help you create transformation in your life.

MORE ABOUT HOW LIFE COACHING WORKS AT GAMEPLAN COACHING SERVICES
In life coaching, we will work with you on the five keys to success:
- Identifying your dreams, purpose, vision and mission
- Setting your milestone goals
- Creating a balanced life
- Personal leadership
- Self esteem and confidence
Identify Your Dreams and Purpose
Setting goals is the way to get where you want to get to. Some of us are not moving forward simply because we have not set a goal that inspires us.
If you want to succeed beyond your wildest dreams, begin with some wild dreams! We will help you get some direction around your purpose, work with you to draw out your vision and mission to help you get there.
Setting Milestone Goals
At other times, we have the big dream but don't know the steps to turn the vision into reality.
We can show you how to set those milestones and encourage you to take each step.
A Balanced Life
A big challenge for us is to achieve balance in our lives. We will work with you on goals you select in different areas of your life. When you focus on key areas of your life it makes you a much more balanced person and leads to much more success in all areas of your life.
Personal Leadership
Personal leadership enables you to propel yourself moving forwards in a long lasting way so you do not need to depend on coaching for the long haul. We equip you with the tools to develop yourself, and coaching can be a catalyst for your personal development. You can then in turn help others on their personal journey so they can be their personal best, just like you.
Self Esteem and Confidence
There are times where we feel a desire to do more, to contribute, to speak out. We have the skills and knowledge, and yet we are held back by our lack of confidence. At other times, we fear that people may reject us, we may look out of place or that what we have is insufficient or perhaps not good enough to be displayed, said or heard.
We can show you how to get around this, as the only person holding us back us is usually ourselves.
