Coaching as Lifestyle

As Peace Coaches, we believe individuals are naturally resourceful, creative and whole. The Coach trusts that the Peace Rebel has all they need to find their path, answers and to trust the experience of self-development.

Being Peace Coach for the Peace Revolution self-development program one has the opportunity to give back, to accompany a Peace Rebel on his way to becoming the best version of themselves. Being a coach is a gift and a responsibility at the same time. Peace coaching draws inspiration from professional life coaching.

First of all, let's see what professional coaching is. Coaching:

  • is empowerment
  • supports change
  • is discovery
  • focuses on the present and the future
  • is a dance between two equals
  • is a designed alliance
  • supports growth
  • encourages self-knowledge
  • enables choice making
  • raises awareness

Coaching as lifestyle

In the professional environment, at the beginning of a coaching cycle, coaches and coachees design the relationship together, setting the best conditions to support the coachee's goals and dreams. Coaching takes place over a period of time; coaches and coachees agree upon the number of sessions needed to attain the coachee's goals.

The most important moment in a coaching process is the present moment. Whether the coach is working with someone in a professional environment, or as a volunteer in a social coaching program, the coaching skills and tools remain the same: powerful questions, active listening, mindfulness, and clean language.

Peace Coaches care about the Peace Rebels' inner journey, and they support them in discovering their own path to inner peace. As Peace Coaches, we are all living as coaches: we discover more about ourselves, we support each other, and we grow together in peace.

Living as a coach means always listening and speaking from your heart/core/center, asking powerful questions meant to raise awareness, not working on assumptions and walking the talk with trust and integrity. What about you, what would you say coaching as a lifestyle is?

Dear Anca,

I totally agree with the points you mentioned… coaching was for me a way to give back initially …and then I met some amazing Rebels who needed guidance…a little motivation effort from my side creates a huge impact on their life- it is such a fulfilling job!

Coaching as a lifestyle to me is creating connections with these strangers- reading their journals and feeling the words I wish to tell them, the advice I want to share….and then I type them out- a personalized answer to meet their situations. A connection that is established very fast, but it is a deep feeling. And the good feeling when they graduate! Ah! It is also emotional to receive the appreciation from the rebels. your article makes me inspired to write about the experience, also for PR blog.
