"Life
Coaching is like the underground map. When you know your
destination, but are unclear about how to get there, the
map is there to support you and show you several options
for planning your journey."
Life
Coaching is aimed at perfectly [mentally] healthy and
resourceful people who are determined to get what they want
out of their lives, as well as prepared to open their mind
to self-exploration, personal growth and self-improvement.
It is a process that creates powerful and
lasting changes in a natural and unobtrusive manner. It
takes place in a series of sessions conducted over the phone,
in person, or by email, tailored to the client's choice.
The process involves a series of sessions during which the
Coach and client continuously design the flow of the process
and follow the client's agenda. The client determines the
agenda for each session. The sessions can be used to address
a variety of specific life-related issues in the areas of: health, relationships, work, money and success, as well as for
evaluation of situations, installing or dismantling habits,
making decisions, reinforcing and celebrating positive happenings,
generating useful behaviours and ways of thinking, or making
commitments.
The roots of professional
coaching can be traced back to the Inner Game books
of the mid 1970s. In these books W. Timothy Gallwey suggested
a paradigm shift in sports coaching. He had noticed that
players self-corrected when he coached with open questions
instead of catching errors and offering suggestions. In
fact, when a player relaxed and held a picture and feeling
of the desired result, the player improved. The player had
corrected, without even knowing s/he had ever been in error,
unselfconsciously. As the Inner Game books topped best sellers
lists and Gallwey's reputation grew, he found himself speaking
more often to business leaders in the US and Europe than
to sports audiences. As the principles of the Inner Game
were applied to professional development, the value of individual
coaching became apparent.

The
benefits of life coaching are indeed manifold. The most
valuable of them follow:
- The process is
totally natural and unobtrusive.
- Regardless of the client's momentous
geographical location and circumstances, life coaching
can fit in with his/her schedule, especially if
conducted over the phone, or online.
- People can take life coaching anywhere;
I've heard of a client being coached at the airport!
- The client creates the agenda, the
Coach holds it.
- The client will learn to understand
many of his/her behaviours, and the intent behind
these behaviours.
- The power of the process strengthens
memory,
encourages self-discipline, inspires clients to
vote economically with their time, money, and energy.
- In the long term, the skills/capabilities
acquired in a life coaching engagement, plus the
re-gained personal resources, will manifest themselves
in saving of time, money, and energy.
- Issues can be dealt with content-free.
- Any content of the life coaching
process is completely confidential, unless otherwise
stated with the client's permission.
- The life coaching process enables
the client to evaluate any situation from the "outsider's"
viewpoint, which is valuable for problem-solving
and decision-making.

- A coaching relationship enriches
and strengthens the client's interactions with him/herself
in any aspect of life.
- By showing the client useful ways
of thinking and interacting with him/herself, life
coaching empowers the client to higher quality interactions
with the surrounding world.
- The life coaching interaction benefits
the lives of people of any age, cultural background,
social status, and occupation.
- Any client will inevitably restore/affirm
his/her personal integrity as well as...
- ...explore and learn about his/her
identity.
- Life coaching inspires connection
with the spiritual sphere.
- The client will gain an insight into
what's beyond his/her own self and how s/he fits
into the wholeness of the universe.
- Creativity, self-worth, and self-confidence
will naturally find their place in each client's
inner and surrounding world.

Seeing Spells Achieving is a method founded in England by Olive Hickmott and Andrew Bendefy based on the communication tools of Neuro-Linguistic Programming [NLP] that teaches people with dyslexic, dyscalculic, dyspraxic, autistic, ADD, ADHD, and Asperger's tendencies how to apply their existing visual skills to seeing words and numbers.
Since people with the abovestated tendencies are missing the visual reference, which prevents successful spelling, reading, and comprehension of read material, Seeing Spells Achieving gives them logical, commonsense, step-by-step howtos of learning to visualize words and numbers.
