some of my focus areas

DISCOVERING WHO YOU ARE

Life is generally focussed on “doing” rather than “being”. “What do you do?” is the question that is always asked rather than “Who are you?”. Yet your life purpose is not about doing anything it’s about being. When you know who you are, the doing will come naturally – it will guide many of your life decisions and enable you to find happiness, fulfilment, peace, inspiration and direction – just by being true to yourself.

YOUTH COACHING

Research shows that close to 50% of young people enrol for the “wrong” course of study. Whilst no education is ever a waste, changing a path of study can create stress, confusion and guilt, in addition to the exta time and costs involved. Helping teens and young adults to discover who they are – what motivates and inspires them, what comes naturally and feels comfortable – will influence their big life decisions including the career path they choose.

MIDLIFERS / EMPTY NESTERS

When children leave home to study, travel or establish independence parents are often left with a sense of purposelessness or loss of identity. It’s common for parents to reevaluate their purpose, life or career. With the right support and tools this time of life can be an exciting one – discovering a new purpose, building new relationships, personal goals or embarking on a new career.

FAQS

What is life coaching?

A ‘coach’ or ‘carriage’ gets you to where you want to be. In life coaching we use the word ‘coach’ for someone who helps us to get from where we are now, to where we want to be in life. Life coaching has become popular as it helps people to claim back their power in every area of their life, from health, to relationships, to education, to finances and career building.

What can a life coach do?

A coach empowers people to reach any goal, dream or objective and helps people to overcome inner obstacles (like fear, self worth and procrastination). Individuals can be coached on any topic e.g. life goals, work and career aspirations, relationships, financial freedom, wellness, personal growth and inner obstacles, dream building, etc. Life coaches help their clients to find their own best solutions.

What happens in a life coaching session?

A professional coach guides conversations or meetings, in such a way that the client establishes clear goals, (dreams, aspirations, objectives) and finds their own solutions, action plans, insights and clarity about how to reach that goal. The client is accountable for their own journey and commitment to their planned actions. As coaches, we don’t offer our solutions or our ideas about what the client should do.

How long is a life coaching session and where do sessions take place?

A session is usually 60 minutes. Sessions can be once-off or part of a package – weekly or monthly – short, medium or long term – according to your need. I am based in Durban, South Africa, but as all coaching is done on-line in the comfort of your own home or office I am available to coach anyone worldwide.

Testimonials

Emma - Johannesburg

My sessions with Linda were valuable and inspiring. I was initially apprehensive, but Linda’s warm nature instantly put me at ease, and I settled into the session. I had a vague idea of what a life coach session might involve, however, I was surprised and comforted by the kinds of questions and prompts Linda put forward. Linda’s patience and professionalism adds to the experience of the session. The concentrated time and thought involved helps one acknowledge the abilities within oneself and Linda, through her practice guides one to reach these realizations in a way that aligns with one's own introspective process. The sessions with Linda have been beneficial to my personal health journey. I encourage others to experience a life coach session and share in the value of realizing the power within oneself.

Marc - Durban

I was at a place where life just sucked, I felt isolated and needed a voice of reason, a mentor as I realised that I could not do this alone. I was introduced to Linda Sparks and we began our consults once a week and have been for the past 2 months. Linda showed much empathy towards my predicament. I can’t tell you how my family and friends now see a different side to me. I am the happiest I’ve been in years. Instead of giving me the advice I needed, Linda helped me make my own mind up by providing me with helpful solutions to think positively – turning negatives into positives by allowing me to think out the box and see a completely different scenario. I have gained more self confidence and self esteem which has aided my relationships. If anyone has felt the same, that they have utilised all their resources with little or no success, please consider Linda for life coaching. This is the break through I needed to overcome a massive hurdle in my life. Thank you Linda for the work you have done so far. I am immensely grateful.

Lindy – Durban

I had three sessions with Linda which really helped me to break through from a rather passive and unproductive mode of being, to a more self-directed way of managing my life. I am in a better place in my life than I was when I started working with her, and I believe that this is because she helped me to take hold of my life and give it direction, rather than just waiting for it to happen and unfold. Linda has a gentle and caring presence which quickly made me feel that I could relax and trust her, and she was not judgemental in any way. Knowing that I would be talking to her again in a week’s time made me want to be sure to accomplish the goals that I had set myself for the week. Some of the tools that I learnt from my time with her have remained with me, and I am grateful for them.
