Money - often an awkward subject that can lead to stress, feelings of anxiety, can cause arguments, or make you feel embarrassed when you need to ask for help. Talking about what you earn, or discussing debt is extremely personal and not something we are generally comfortable with sharing - even with our nearest and dearest it can be challenging.

But money worries impact hugely on our quality of life. Whether we have enough of it and don’t know how use it wisely, or we’re barely scraping by and need our money to go further and last longer, it pays to have some sound advice from someone impartial who understands how to better manage money – particularly as the financial landscape of the country is currently so changeable and uncertain.

In its recent health and wellbeing survey, Ben, the automotive industry charity, discovered that 1 in 5 automotive people are struggling to keep up with the rising cost of living, with energy, petrol and food bills at an all-time high.

One of the tools that Ben offers to those seeking support is access to its free Life Coaching service. Ben’s specially-trained Life Coaches work closely with individuals to help them to better plan and budget, and devise strategies to improve their relationship with money, putting them in a stronger position to be in control of their finances now, and in the future.

Rachel Clift, Health & Wellbeing Director at Ben, said: “Our Life Coaching service is designed to empower people – to give them the tools and strategies to improve their lives and achieve their goals. It’s free, it’s confidential and it’s working. We are already seeing people benefiting from the service, taking control of things that have been challenging them, and moving their lives forward in a positive and confident way.

“We are inundated with calls at the moment from people who are struggling with the rising cost of living. There is no shame in asking for help. In fact, it is the most sensible thing to do – we have Life Coaches ready to help you to fix your finances and money worries, giving you a stronger foundation

to build from in the future. Take the first step towards making a positive life change and get in touch today.”

A member of the automotive community who is already benefiting from the service shared: “It’s been good to have someone neutral to talk to, someone to give me a different perspective, new strategies and tools to use. I’ve felt challenged in a good way and been asked to think outside of my comfort zone which has been great.”

If you have an idea of what you want to achieve but you’re not sure how or where to start, then talking with a Life Coach could be the solution for you. All you need is the time, commitment and energy to participate in the coaching sessions.
