Busy, but not fulfilled? Life coaching helps you to slow down and find direction again. Together with an experienced coach, you explore what matters to you, what gives you energy and what is holding you back. For more calm, balance and grip on your life.

Description

In this life coaching programme you take time to consider what you need in order to go through life with more calm and direction. You work personally with an experienced life coach on insight, balance and conscious choices.

You explore what gives you energy and what holds you back. You look at the patterns, beliefs and values that drive your choices. You then translate those insights into concrete steps, so that you regain a grip on your work, your personal life and the way you approach life.

The coaching is practical and personal, and is fully tailored to your question and your pace. A programme starts with a no-obligation intake and consists as standard of five sessions of 60 to 90 minutes, online or on location. Further deepening or extension is always possible.

Topics

  • Insight into what gives you energy and what costs you energy
  • Exploring your personal values, wishes and sense of purpose
  • Recognising and breaking through limiting patterns and beliefs
  • Balance between work, private life and yourself
  • Setting and guarding boundaries
  • Strengthening resilience and self-confidence
  • Making conscious choices that suit you
  • Reflecting on situations from your daily life

Result

After a life coaching programme you have a better understanding of who you are and what you need in order to function well. You make choices that genuinely suit you, at work, at home or both. You experience more calm, direction and grip on your life. You know where your limits lie and how to guard them. And you stand more firmly on your own two feet, with more energy, confidence and enjoyment.

The effects are often lasting. You go through life with more clarity, make more conscious decisions and feel freer in a way that matches who you are.

Target audience

Life coaching is suitable for anyone who wants to reflect, adjust course or find a new direction. For example, if you:

  • are stuck in your work or your life and are not sure how to move forward;
  • give a great deal to others, but have lost sight of yourself;
  • seeking balance between busy schedules, ambitions and what you need yourself;
  • want to live more consciously from your own values and energy, rather than from outside expectations.

You don't need a specific problem to get started. Curiosity or a desire for change is enough.

Teaching method

Life coaching is tailor-made. You start with a no-obligation intake in which you explain where you are now and what you would like to change. After that, you work with a fixed life coach in sessions of 60 to 90 minutes, online or on location.

You bring in situations, reflect, explore and practise. The conversations are personal, practical and aimed at real change, tailored to what you need at that moment. You do it at your own pace and in your own way.

A programme consists of 5 sessions as standard. Extension or further deepening is always possible.

Prior knowledge

No specific prior knowledge is required for life coaching. What helps is being open to reflection and willing to look at yourself honestly. Curiosity and the desire to change something are enough to get started.

And by bringing the challenges you face in your daily work along to the training.

    Life coaching is suitable for anyone who wants to reflect, adjust course or make more conscious choices at work or at home. You do not need to have a problem in order to start. People who are stuck, seeking balance or who have lost sight of themselves in particular get a lot out of it. Curiosity or a desire for more calm and direction is enough to get started.

    Life coaching can take place online or on location, depending on what works best for you. The sessions last 60 to 90 minutes and you work with a fixed life coach. Online offers flexibility and convenience, while on location often provides more calm and focus. You decide which format suits your situation, diary and preference.

    A personal effectiveness course is group-based and follows a set curriculum: you learn skills such as planning, prioritising, setting boundaries and giving feedback. The content is fixed in advance. Life coaching is individual and tailored, with no fixed programme. The content is determined by what you bring to it: questions about your life, patterns, choices around work and private life, or a sense of purpose. At Learnit, a life coaching programme consists as standard of 5 sessions of 60 to 90 minutes with a dedicated coach, online or on location. Choose a course if you want to learn concrete skills in a group. Choose life coaching if you want to reflect on direction, balance or beliefs and are looking for personal guidance in doing so. The two do not exclude one another and are sometimes combined.

    Life coaching focuses on reflection, choices and personal growth. You work on questions such as: what gives me energy, what is holding me back, and how do I want to organise my work and private life? A life coach is not a therapist. For complaints such as depression, an anxiety disorder, trauma or burnout that requires medical support, you are better off with a psychologist, a registered healthcare professional or an occupational physician. Rule of thumb: if it is about adjusting course, making decisions and getting to know yourself better, coaching is the right fit. If it is about diagnosis, treatment or reimbursement through your health insurance, therapy is the right fit. Not sure? During the intake, the coach will discuss whether life coaching is suitable or whether a referral would be wiser.

    Life coaching suits you if you mainly want to reflect, adjust course or find direction in your work, private life or personal development. You do not need to have a complaint or a problem. Curiosity, doubt or a desire for change is enough to get started. A life coach works with a focus on the future and helps you examine patterns, values and choices. A coaching programme consists as standard of 5 sessions of 60 to 90 minutes. Would you rather choose a course? Then you get a set programme in a group. Do you have psychological complaints such as depression, trauma or an anxiety disorder? Then a psychologist or therapist is a better fit. Still in doubt? In the no-obligation intake you determine together with the coach whether life coaching matches what you are looking for.

    A life coaching session lasts 60 to 90 minutes and takes place online or on location. You always work with the same dedicated coach, which provides continuity and trust. Every session starts with whatever you bring to it at that moment: a situation, a pattern, a dilemma or a question. The coach works with reflective questions, helps you examine your beliefs and links insights to concrete steps for the week ahead. The approach is practical and honest, not woolly. A standard programme consists of 5 sessions, preceded by a no-obligation intake in which your goals and expectations are discussed. Extension or further depth is possible when you feel you want to go further. Between sessions you experiment with new behaviour in your daily life, so that changes really do stick.

    Most participants notice a difference after the first two or three sessions. Not because major things suddenly change, but because you start looking more consciously at your patterns, choices and energy. A standard programme consists of 5 sessions of 60 to 90 minutes, often spread over two to four months. The time between sessions is deliberate: you apply insights in your work and personal life, and discuss what that produces. Deeper change, such as letting go of a limiting belief or consistently guarding your boundaries better, usually requires the full programme. Extension is possible if you want to explore a specific theme further. Compared with self-help books or one-off workshops, coaching works faster, because you work directly on your own situation and receive feedback on your blind spots.

    Life coaching and career coaching overlap, but they have a different starting point. Career coaching focuses specifically on work: your career path, a next step, applying for jobs or choosing between roles. The question is usually limited to your professional life. Life coaching takes a broader view. It is about you as a person, in all the roles you fulfil. Work is covered, but so are your private life, your values, your energy and your outlook on life. At Learnit, a life coaching programme consists as standard of 5 sessions of 60 to 90 minutes with a fixed coach, online or on location. Choose life coaching if your question goes beyond your job alone, for example when you have doubts about direction, balance or meaning. Choose career coaching if your question is purely about work and career.
