How to Define Life Coaching

What is Life Coaching?

A life coach supports you to achieve personal and professional goals. Some say a coach is "a personal trainer for your life."  A Life Coach partners with you to co-create goals that get results. Coaches consider you the most important person in the coaching relationship. A life coach moves you forward to achieve goals. 

As a personal growth profession, life coaching distinguishes itself from other careers in ways that include the following:
 
1.  Coaching differs from therapy, counseling, mentoring and consulting.
2.  Life coaches focus on the present and the future, not the past.
3.  Coaching supports enthusiastic individuals who want to develop their strengths.
4.  A life coach empowers you to accomplish specific goals.

A life coach helps you create value-based goals that get results. A coach encourages you to take action.  Before hiring a coach, ask yourself what you want to accomplish by the end of your sessions.
