Life Coaching?
Life coaching is a process designed to encourage you to achieve even greater personal and professional success.
Life coaching is increasingly used by leaders, executives and athletes who want achieve more in their lives. It is for people those who truly desire to live more successfully, helping them to create a healthier and more balanced lifestyle.
Life Coaching is for anyone who wants to use the tools available to them to help them to enrich their lives and experience greater joy and happiness.
Life Coaching originally developed out of athletic and performance coaching, which helped athletes to reach their goals and a Life Coach does for your life what a personal trainer or athletic coach does for your body.
Just as an athletic coach will encourage his client to think about and visualise themselves winning a race so a Life Coach will help you to identify your real priorities and your long-term life goals.
Your Life Coach will ask you questions like: “Who do you want to be in the future and where are you now?”
Life Coaching’s focus is primarily positive, it is about the present and about the future. Together we help you build a vision of your future that is inspiring and achievable. Your Life Coach will help you to work towards your goals and celebrate your success and support you when things don’t go to plan.
Life Coaching typically covers areas such as Life Work Balance, Motivation, Confidence, Life Goals, Career Change, Communication, Stress Reduction, Meaning, Purpose, Personal Vision and Future Success Mapping.
“Life Coaching is the newest, fastest and most effective way to reassess and rework any area of your life. What a personal trainer does for your body; a life coach does for your life.”
-The Guardian
“…a process that enables learning and development to occur and thus performance to improve. To be a successful a Coach requires a knowledge and understanding of process as well as the variety of styles, skills and techniques that are appropriate to the context in which the coaching takes place”
- Eric Parsloe
Life coaching is used by a growing number of psychologists to aid clients with transitions in their personal life, and in the process of self-actualization.
Life coaching draws from a number of disciplines, including sociology, psychology, career counseling, and numerous other types of counseling.
Long before “Life coaching” was a profession, A’dell was practicing the technique herself and mentoring other women. A’dell is a self-made business woman who understands the importance of both failure as well as success, and how to build on that success. She also understands what she wants and needs out of life and pursues her dreams with gusto. I would highly recommend A’dell as a life coach to potential clients–I can guarantee she will make a difference in your life.

A’dell has helped me to deal with three key issues in mylife with resounding effects.
1) Recognition of my needs as an individual. Work and famil life had left me drained and sufering from low self-esteem. I’ve re-connectd with my passion, amatuer dramatics, and ave gone on to win many awards – and a new social life.
2) Parenting – learning to say no and mean it. the children had had the control and I have taken it back. I have earned their respect and life, at home, is more harmonious.
3)My weight and image – I have been unhappy with my body for some time but found it difficul to stick to a ‘plan of action’. Two months later I have lost over two stone and am feeling healthier, more energy and am beginning to love myself and my body.
A’dell’s skills as a Life Coach have exceeded my expectations. I would recommend anyone to seek out her candid and professional approach. She listens and allows you, the client, to recognise the changes you wish to make in your life and take action. And my life changes will not stop here – I am going forward, with a positive attitude, to contiue to make life changing decisions and actions. And it’s all thanks to A’dell

A’dell’s skills and talents, as a Life Coach, have had a very positive efect on my life. From a change in career, which I have found so fullfilling, to growing in confidence and self esteem
The experience has had a knock-on effect in all aspects of my life. This has all been due to A’dell’s ability to really listen. During my sessions, with her, I was left energised with a desire to move forward, challenge my fears and negative thoughts and overcome them.
Life Coaching has certainly proven to be a Life Changing experience.
Thank you A’dell

‘A foreigner in a strange land’ – that’s how I felt when I found employment at ‘The House of Rompa’, A’dell’s day nursery.
As an employer she offered me support, help and guidance.
As a Life Coach she supported me through the recognition of my insecurities, no formal training and poor understanding of the English language.
In less than 18months I qualified in childcare to NVQ Level3. My ability to communicate in English surpassed my expectations.
My confidence and self-esteem has grown and I now believe that I have the ability to face any challenge that comes my way.
Thanks to A’dell I have begun the journey of a lifetime. She is truly inspirational.
