Life coaching<\/strong><\/span><\/a> should be fun and exciting, just like the county fair.\u00a0 In addition to a lot of great attractions and exhibits, there are a lot of interesting people to watch at the fair.\u00a0 From the moment you enter the mammoth lines to get into the fairgrounds, you become part of the crowd.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know how else to explain it, but this crowd becomes part of your new peer group.<\/p>\n

Not Your Usual Life Coaching Peer Group<\/h3>\n

Only at the fair can you buy a huge turkey drumstick and walk around eating it without looking too out of place.\u00a0 My husband likes to research what\u2019s new, and this year he found, \u201cDeep Fried Butter.\u201d\u00a0 Never in my life have I considered eating a stick of butter, but my curiosity was peaked as to how they were able to prepare such a delicacy.\u00a0 As a 300 pound woman walked up to the window to place her order, I couldn\u2019t help but wonder if she would ever consider coaching.<\/p>\n

Breaking Away From A Dis-empowering Peer Group<\/h3>\n

Even though I thought I would be satisfied with my grilled corn on the cob, my husband tempted me with his beer battered fried potato slices with cheese and ranch dressing.\u00a0 A few minutes later my stomach let me know that it was a mistake.\u00a0 I survived the temporary discomfort vowing, \u201cNever again.\u201d\u00a0 What is it about the fair that causes my husband to eat things he would never eat anywhere else?<\/p>\n

If you want to make changes in your life, life coaching<\/strong><\/span><\/a> isn\u2019t enough.\u00a0 You need to surround yourself with like minded individuals and a peer group who is honest enough to hold you to a higher standard.\u00a0 Because let\u2019s face it, in many ways we are sheep.\u00a0 We want to belong.\u00a0 And if your flock is about to walk over a cliff, you are going with them.\u00a0 Alternatively if your flock is on the way to greener pastures, you will find your life changing for the better.<\/p>\n
