[Coach Tom’s Commentary] Where would you be in 2040? What will you be doing and how would you describe your being? How might coaching connect your career with personal goals towards the best version of you?

Embracing coaching is something that has hitherto been underrated. How far are you willing to go in order to fulfil your dream and life purpose? What are your goals and your level of commitment in working towards them?
Once you are clear that the goal is worthwhile and in line with your life purpose, there is nothing in life that you cannot attain. What you then need is to unlock motivation, confidence and a course of action. Coaching is a beneficial way to enable this self-determination to take flight.
When you are on the right track for work you will find that your personal life will soon follow. You will be in control and ready to make your entire world different. You should be excited about everything that you do. Do not let anyone bring you down and make your goal seem insignificant. You have to be passionate about what you are doing and what you truly desire. Do not let anyone or anything wrest that control from you. You alone have the power and autonomy to decide your course of action!
Some say that mixing your personal and your business life is a mistake. In reality, keeping personal life and your business career distinct is not always easy nor an ideal strategy. The question rather is, can you blend these two dimensions well. Achieving personal-career blend, rather than work-life-balance might be the approach – as the latter is ultimately a zero-sum game.
You need to be ready and able to keep your motivation in life. If you lose steam and commitment, you will not realize the life that you envisage. Making a list of your goals and tracking them are essentials you need to observe. What you treasure, you measure.
Finally, if you think that you need to boost up confidence, then consider finding a coach to help you find the energy that is within you to stay the course and level up your commitment. Then let that gurgling well spring up with positivity and vitality that propel you towards your goals and life purpose.
