So you’ve decided to get a life coach. Congratulations! You’re taking a big step in your life. But are you sure you should? Here are the pros and cons of getting a life coach.
A life coach can help you see the truth about your situation, outline your passion and and develop a plan to live out your purpose and the things that may seem unconquerable. They help by pointing you in the right direction, which might not be the same as what you were originally planning on doing.
A coach can help you avoid some of the pitfalls that may occur while pursuing a career, such as incurring debt or wasting time.
If you find that you are not accomplishing as much as you would like due to a lack of productivity or procrastination, then it may be time to seek out help. A life coach can help change your beliefs and create a plan of action that will lead to lasting success.
A coach can help you learn how to overcome procrastination, pursue your dreams, and be more like the person you want to be.
That said, it still remains your own responsibility to action the wisdom and guidance. This involves developing a habit of asking questions and being teachable. Of course, there are many advantages to having someone walk beside you when faced with life’s most daunting challenges, and the benefit from learning from someone who has experienced life before making what could be costly decisions!

“I WILL ACT NOW…
For now, that is all I have. Tomorrow is the day reserved for the labour of the lazy. I am not lazy. Tomorrow is the day when evil becomes good. I am not evil. Tomorrow is the day when the failure will succeed. I am not a failure. (Mandino, 1989)
I WILL ACT NOW.” – Og Mandino
Mentors and coaches help us reflect on who we are and give us advice on how to improve ourselves. When we learn to take criticism well, this will make everyone in the workplace more productive.
As a leader, you represent your company and its values. When you improve yourself, it reflects positively on your company as well – which in turn leads to a more productive workplace for everyone involved. In order to become better leaders in our own lives, we need coaches or mentors who can help us identify our strengths and weaknesses so that we can work on improving them. By responding better when others make mistakes, not only will our own careers benefit but also those around us
They play an important role in IN10TIONALLY planning our team or tribe.
