Life Coaching Questionnaire

I have been coaching and counselling for a long time, and I've had the pleasure of working with hundreds and hundreds of people from all walks of life. And I haven't yet met anyone who did not want to live a great life full of the people, great possibilities, accomplishments and experiences that were most important to them.

Living a great life is a process that involves getting clear on what you really want to create, ensuring what you want is in alignment with who you are, and then making good consistent choices to get there. It also involves learning some important lessons and developing successful belief systems and habits that help you bring out your best, and really enjoy the journey. That is what you are supposed to do here.

Good coaching can be of great help in this process, because it provides the clarity, the focus, and the structure of weekly support meetings, to keep you on track. Find out if you could benefit from life coaching by answering the following questions.

Assess Yourself

Comfort Zone

Are you like most people, lost somewhere in the comfort zone with most of your needs met, doing the same thing today that you did yesterday? Have you lost the sense of genuine excitement in your life? Have you made decisions based solely on habit, responsibility or the expectations of others that do not honour who you are? Have you lost touch with a compelling vision of what you want your life to be about? Are you missing a depth and richness in your day-to-day existence? Are you bogged down, are you suffering from burnout? Are you overwhelmed or cant see the sense in it anymore? Do you sense you might be selling yourself short, or settling for far less than you might? Rather than a growing sense of excitement, is there a growing deadness about life in the comfort zone?

Coaching Approach: Begin to dream again. Find out what is truly important to you. What does bring you more fully alive? When was the last time you felt alive, that life was an adventure, and what were you doing then? What is a dream that you would love to chase if you knew you couldn't fail? First find out what is holding you back, then find your passions. When you reconnect to them, you will have the power to overcome your challenges, discover your strengths and make a plan to move ahead. Coaching can help you move out of the comfort prison and into life in a manner of a few sessions.

Pain Zone

If you are in the pain zone you'll know it. Some of your important needs are not being met and you will be suffering with the knowledge that you are living a life, or working in a career, that is not right for you. You may even be suffering from a dis-ease called Depression. Everything is just too much.

Coaching Approach: Let's first get your needs met, and from there let's begin to dream again and rediscover the path that will take you forward. What brings you more fully alive? What gets you excited? What are you really good at? When you begin to line up your passions and gifts, it seems that the rest of the universe conspires to assist you. Look elsewhere on this web site at the universal laws. You will find them fascinating. Another area to look at will be your subconscious belief systems about life and how they influence your life. You will be further amazed. Coaching can help you break out of the pain zone and you will no longer feel like you are swimming against the current.

Fully Alive Zone

You are living a conscious life that honours who you are - and who you want to become - and fully reflects the values most important to you. For most of us this might mean a sense of challenge, learning, making a difference, being free from worry and enjoying the contentment of a well balanced life in which we are deeply connected to those we love and life itself.

Coaching Approach: You already know the value of routinely investing in yourself, and you also know that there is no limit to the abundance of life. You can always have more meaning, peace, freedom, balance, great relationships, etc. Professional, insightful and independent support only helps speed the process. (But you already know that too.)

Two Scenarios

The low road; If you do nothing, imagine where you will be 1 year from now. Odds are things will not be substantially better and for most people they will be worse.

The high road; Imagine if you try coaching, get clarity on what is most important to you and what you need more of in your life (and career or business) to become more effective or more fully alive. And further imagine that you have spent time each week benefiting from independent support and systematically taking the necessary steps to create the outcomes you most want. Where might you get to in the next year?

General Questions

Do you feel substantially more alive, or further ahead, than you did a year ago?
Is your life more run by things you have to do, as opposed to things you choose, want to do?
Would you benefit from having clear goals that reflect what is truly important to you?
Do you often feel like there is something holding you back from a much more successful life?
Do you close people off from you?
Do you often know what you should be doing, but have a hard time actually doing it?
Do you find yourself getting angry at times, and you don’t know why?
Do you find it difficult to say “no” when you should have?
Do you find that it is difficult to being assertive – there is something that holds you back?
Are you depressed at times?
Do you routinely run out of time, energy or patience by the end of the day?
Is your career more of a job than a calling?
Is there less meaning in your life, career, relationship, or business, than you would like?
Are you being sick recurrently?
Do you have a difficult time balancing your career, family, friends, health, etc.?
Has it been awhile since you really enjoyed yourself?
Would you benefit from establishing great habits that keep you moving ahead in all parts of your life?
Do you routinely find yourself worrying or stressed out or worrying about the future?
Do you often find yourself living automatically, or simply going through the motions?
Would you like to learn how to create a life that directly reflects your greatest gifts, talents and interests?
Do you want more success, peace, intimate relationships, or a sense that your life is making a difference?
Do you ever get a sense that you are not living the life you were meant to live, and that there is much more to life than you are now experiencing?
Do you have someone in your life who routinely gives you independent feedback, and helps you see what you might be missing?
If you answered yes to many of these questions, I think you are really going to enjoy Life Coaching.
