How To Achieve Growth Through Personal Wellness Coaching

By Krystal Branch


For many people financial achievements and a comfortable life style is not enough. They desire fulfillment and, in many cases, spiritual growth. Many psychological models actually rate individual fulfillment the highest of all human desires. Unfortunately, most people do not know how to achieve the fulfillment that they crave, but luckily personal wellness coaching remains a viable solution for those that can afford it.

The biggest obstacle faced by many people that want to experience growth and increased fulfillment is that they often do not know what exactly they are missing. They have ambiguous desires to do something better with their lives but they seldom know what it is they should be doing. This is where a professional can be of great value. Individual instructors can help their clients to identify their deep seated desires.

A coach is important in the sense that he can help his clients to quantify their dreams and desires. Nothing will happen or change all by itself. That is why it is necessary to set specific goals and to devise plans on exactly how to achieve those goals. The main task of the coach is to help the client set these goals and objectives.

One thing common to the approaches used by most professional coaches is the issue of fitness training. Research shows that physical health and fitness is important to the well being of all people. People that are fit are more likely to take on other challenges. This is because they feel energized, they watch their diets and they remain active. It is important to make an effort to live a more active life.

It requires both time and patience to find the ideal coach. A coach that is of very high value to one client may not be suitable for another. It is therefore advisable to look for somebody that has dealt with a variety of other clients and that is able to provide valid references. For the best results, it is important that there is a relationship of trust between the coach and the client.

No coach can perform miracles. Too many people think that the coach should be responsible for the success of the program and this is simply not the case. The client remains responsible for his or her own growth. The role of the coach is to encourage, to motivate and to measure progress. Anyone looking for instant success is guaranteed to be disappointed.

Hiring an individual coach can be an expensive business. However, those that desire some help may also turn to their churches or social groups, many of which offer a variety of self enrichment programs. Another option is to join a group of people with similar goals. It is even possible to hire a coach for an initial period only or on an intermittent basis.

Personal wellness coaching has become a big industry. Professional coaches need to be versatile because the expectations of their clients vary wildly. Many people start off with one coach and then change to another as their personal needs change. It remains important, however, to remember that the responsibility for success lies with the client, not the coach.
