Finding your Coach
Diving Deep Within
Know More
In today’s world when we need help we reach out and get it. Be it business, personal, financial, career or other, we go to coaches to help us divine the information we need to move forward. But what if we aren’t aware of our own roadblocks, the ways we stop ourselves. We can work with the best people in the world, yet not get the answers we seek. The same is true with how we process or receive information. We need to know, to understand ourselves more fully to work more effectively with our coaching professionals. Odds are, what we are doing with them we are doing with others as well.
Another area of clarity too often not considered is in our search for success are the many forms it takes. But more so, is it success or happiness we are after? Again, if we don’t know, we will never get to where we want to go.
A Word from the Author
What do you do when you have nothing but questions and the answers aren’t coming? Who do you go to after you’ve tried friends and family? What do you do when you keep looking for help, and still aren’t finding the answers for your questions?
For many people the answer is a coach, someone who has taken the time to look and master what you are trying to define.
For Melinda J. Kelly, the answer was to go within, to dive deep, to dare to ask was it them or her?
For most of us, of course it is them. But since the only constant was Melinda, maybe it wasn’t. Maybe it was her.
With that starting place of embracing the questions, the next conference was her own personal lab. The traits and tendencies she realized were part of her issues taking knowledge and information in were clearly shared by others. The realization she could easily become a self-help conference junkie gave her a clarity she realized she needed. Time was passing, and so were her hopes and dreams.
In Finding Your Coach, Diving Deep Within Melinda shares her discoveries and reflections on how she arrived at first seeking others, rather than looking within. In her search for answers, Melinda also realized that too often she was racing to a destination she thought she wanted, rather than going to a destination she did. In asking about her own sense of success, it raised questions about the very nature of success. More importantly, was it success or happiness she was ultimately looking for.
Circle of Books Review
When I started to read this book I didn’t know what to expect as I didn’t know the author and I have read a number of self help books and they vary enormously in quality, content and how the information is presented to the reader.
If I am allowed to express my opinion this way: this is a life changing book; not only it is well written, the author has poured out her soul and heart when exposing her journey in search of her inner self and how to get the most out of life and be successful.
When one searches for a coach sometimes he or she thinks that it will be just like magic: You get all the answers to your questions and immediately step on the right track to happiness and success.
If you are set in your way of thinking and in your behavior it will be very hard to attain your goals and work with a coach or mentor. You can have the best coach but only end up with a huge disappointment. We as humans like to think that we know everything about ourselves and that the way we do things is the proven correct one and that there is no need to change, but that couldn’t be further from the truth; We need to learn to process information and apply it to great advantage. This book will help you take the right steps to know yourself and get back the control of your life. The book is not long but it is packed with so much information that you don’t have to reinvent the wheel as it were because the author explains very clearly the pitfalls and errors one is prone to fall into and how to avoid them. I have found myself throughout the day thinking about what the author wrote and when I arrived home I went straight back to the book and reread some passages for clarification or get some more insight regarding some particular issue. Human nature as it is will just make us want to go back to our routine of thought and behavior but if we fight it and try to apply all the author tell us we will be better people not only when it comes to our dealings with others and our coaches but to ourselves too and become who we really are meant to be – get the full potential out of life, sessions with a coach or even when we read other self help books! Is it easy? No it isn’t, and from what the author wrote about her journey we can be sure it is tough but yes it is worth it and the end reward will be priceless.
