Assessing Personal Aliveness

"Compared to what we ought to be, we are half awake." William James 

To imagine how coaching can help use a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being off the charts), to rate how one’s life energy is being spent. Are potential clients:

• Engaged, alive and enthusiastic about life?

• Creating what they want to create in life?

• Involved in relationships that fulfill them and evoke the best from them?

• Spending time where they want to?

• Committed to their careers or wherever they spend the majority of their time?

• Aware of their values, and are living from those values?

• Making the difference they want to make?

• Awake and aware, even in the more difficult challenges of life?

• Running their lives, or is life running them?

Addressing real issues
ACI believes that discovering the truth and being willing to lean into life can be the key to increasing personal aliveness. Working with a coach can help identify what people want to create and how to do it while living in the process.

For some people it's as simple as making a few changes, maybe eliminating a few tolerations or improving communication skills. For many it's identifying core values. Others may need to learn how to ask for what they want and how to say "yes" and "no" in their lives.

How a coach can help

Many people believe that they must pay a price to be successful. Some people even believe that sacrificing family time, health or forgoing time to enjoy what they have achieved are normal accompaniments to success. This often results in unhappiness and emptiness.

Coaching can help clients to keep life in focus. Clients learn to invoke values and create change, while integrating self-care and relationships that influence sustainability and personal aliveness.

A personal coach is similar to an athletic coach or teacher, except that their work is more life-encompassing. A coach:

• Challenges people to discover what aliveness and success in life mean

• Partners with clients to help them create the personal and professional lives they want

• Holds clients accountable to their desires and supports them in attaining their best.
