When choosing a life Coach, here are seven benefits to keep in mind:
- Better self-confidence. A study by the IFC reported that 80% of people who hired a life coach reported improved self-confidence.
- A growth mindset. A benefit to coaching is a shift in perspective. At Glenny’s, we think of this as a growth mindset. With coaching, you can expand and nurture your growth mindset.
- Improved self-awareness. Research found that only 10-15% of people studied were self-aware, despite people believing that they are self-aware. But with coaching, you have a guide to reflect on your progress and your levels of self-awareness. Coaching can help you build your self-awareness muscle and ultimately, gain more confidence in knowing who you are.
- Improved relationships and communication skills. According to the Institute of Coaching, your relationships will benefit from coaching. One study found that of those who participated in coaching, over 70% benefitted from improved work performance, relationships, and effective communication skills.
- Our data has shown that folks who take part in coaching report a higher sense of purpose and meaning.
- Improved overall well-being. Coaching can also help improve your overall well-being. Our data also shows that most people who start coaching in a “stuck” period get better. In fact, 77% will significantly improve their well-being state in three to four months with personalized support.
- Lower stress levels (and better resiliency). The same data cited above shows that a benefit of coaching is lowered stress levels and better resiliency.
