Life Coaching and Career Coaching

Welcome to Janus Life Coaching.com

Janus Life Coaching.com is an extension of my 30 years of consulting practice.  During this time I have had the opportunity to see many changes in the world and the ways individuals relate to them.

I, like you, have personally experienced many of these.

What strikes me most is the truth in the old adage: “the more things change, the more they remain the same.”

The challenges faced by today’s youth are far different than those most of us raised in the shadow of World War II and the Cold War faced. Even the language and its meanings have changed.

To be Red meant to be a Communist, today it means to be a conservative Republican.

To be Blue meant to be melancholy, today it means you are a liberal Democrat.

Life has changed significantly for parents of children born and being raised in the 21st century. Almost an alien culture to the Boomer Generation,  the Gen X and Gen Y, for example, have redefined the meaning of the such basic institutions as the family, marriage, career, and religion, just to name a few of life’s choices. How will the children of Post  911 and the recession of 2007 respond?

At the same time that the culture has been changing, our understanding of the regularity of the life process has grown, thanks to the hard work and insight of such researchers as:

• Jean Piaget (psychologist)  who identified the basic stages of cognitive development (how children learn to think),
• Erik Erikson (social psychologist) who postulated the stages of human psychological and social development (how we become successful social beings)
• Margaret Mead (anthropologist) who demonstrate how culture can shape the adult personality (how nurture can overcome nature).

Today, we recognize that all humans go through the same life stages from conception through to death. Each stage presents us with unique challenges and opportunities. They represent “tests” of our ability to grow and adapt to the world around us. They also represent different roles and responsibilities that are expected of us as living, breathing, individuals living in society.

Regardless of your age, the world you were born into is not the world you are lively in today. And over the remaining years of your life, it will be changing even more.

In these blog entries, we will be exploring the regularities in your personal development and discussing how your choices are influenced by where you are in your life cycle. We will look at the impact these have on your life and business plans.

We will explore what happens when YOUR LIFE IS YOUR BUSINESS and YOUR BUSINESS IS YOUR LIFE.

We will show you how Life Coaching is a way for preparing yourself for these changes in future entries to this Janus View Blog and in our Newsletter.
