Sometimes, desperation makes us take action, but motivation and inspiration comes into play somewhere along the journey to success.<\/p>\n<p>Can a life coach actually motivate and inspire? Can a life coach actually get someone to take action? Can a life coach turn desperation into inspiration through motivation?<\/p>\n<h3>The Difference Between Motivation and Inspiration<\/h3>\n<p>Motivation is usually an external force that pushes us ahead \u2013 an impatient boss who needs that sales report pronto! Inspiration an inner voice that keeps you moving forward \u2013 I need to get that sales report done ahead of schedule as I work toward a promotion. Motivation is usually more short term while inspiration is something that guide you past the obstacles to ultimately achieve your goals.<\/p>\n<p>I read somewhere that motivation is a pulling force \u2013 the motivation will pull you to the task you need to do. However, I look at motivation as more of a pushing force while inspiration is a pulling force. If you need to get that sales report done, you are pushed by external forces \u2013 your boss, the threat of not having a job, a potential bonus, etc. However, if you want to write a book, your inspiration pulls you to this hire purpose.<\/p>\n<p>You are pushed to get things accomplished but you are pulled to achievements and greatness.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a goal \u2013 let\u2019s say that goal is to write the Great American Novel \u2013 motivation pushes you to get specific tasks done (outlining, composing each chapter, proof reading, looking for an agent, etc.), but inspiration pulls you toward the finished product &#8211; the successful achievement of your dreams.<\/p>\n<h3>Can Coaching Motivate and Inspire?<\/h3>\n<p>Since the title of this article is \u201cCoaching Tips \u2013 Motivation and Inspiration\u201d you can probably guess the answer. However, it\u2019s not a simple \u2013 in fact the answer is quite complex.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ve heard the expression, \u201cit takes two to tango?\u201d Well, coaching fits that axiom to a tee. About coaching tips \u2013 motivation and inspiration: no, coaches you can\u2019t motivate and inspire all by yourself. Achieving results in a coaching sessions takes the commitment and hard work from both the coach and the client. The most important of many coaching tips? Motivation and inspiration come from the client \u2013 you are merely there as a facilitator.<\/p>\n<h3>Coaching is About Both Motivation and Inspiration<\/h3>\n<p>Now that I\u2019ve made my way through this awkward keyword phrase \u2013 <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>coaching tips motivation<\/strong><\/span> \u2013 I\u2019ve also included inspiration. That brings me to the main thing coaches should understand about these two terms.<\/p>\n<p>Motivation is about the reason your client does something. Inspiration is about the process and the passion of doing something. Motivation is more about the action plan and inspiration is more about the goal and the passion behind that goal. And yes coaches, you can be part of a client\u2019s motivation and inspiration \u2013 but you can\u2019t make them do it. It takes two to tango, remember?<\/p>\n<p><b>SPECIAL BONUS<\/b> \u2014 <i>If you would like step-by-step blueprints for generating a massive income from high paying coaching clients, I invite you to claim your <\/i><b><i>FREE ACCESS<\/i><\/b><i> to the \u201c<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/www.coachestrainingblog.com\/sp.php?adsource=blogtext\"><b><i>Life Coach Salary Secrets<\/i><\/b><\/a><i>\u201d video toolkit.
