What is Life Coaching?

Life coaching emerged during the 1980s and continues to grow in popularity, yet is not fully understood by the general population.

Coaching is often confused with therapy, and while both are geared toward life improvement, the disciplines are quite different. Therapists are licensed to treat mental health conditions and to heal trauma and unresolved issues from the past.

Coaching, on the other hand, is more futureoriented in that it helps individuals find the path from where they currently are to where they want to be in life. A coach will use insightful questioning to help individuals clarify their goals, identify all the options available, and create a plan as to how to accomplish those goals. Working with a coach also offers fresh perspectives on challenges and helps identify blocks that prevent clients from attaining their goals.

Another difference between coaching and other development professionals is that the client determines the goals and action steps and the coach draws out the strengths of clients to achieve those goals. This makes the client the true owners of the accomplishments and growth that occurs.

WHY WORK WITH A LIFE COACH?

People will seek out a life coach when they want to find their purpose or accomplish a high-level goal, such as starting their own business or writing a book. People will also hire a coach to help with a life transition such as changing careers or getting ready for retirement. And some will use the services of a coach when they want their life to be better now, for example, changing their mindset, etc.

While there are general life coaches, many coaches have a specific niche such as health and wellness, financial, relationship, business, spiritual, and more.

No matter your focus, working with a life coach offers accountability and the space to work on yourself. Dedicating time to working with a life coach greatly increases the chances of you achieving your goals more quickly and efficiently than working alone. Life coaching can be an effective way to help you be the person you want to become.
