Life Coaching Explained PDF Print E-mail
Coaching concentrates on getting clients

from where they are today

to where they want to be tomorrow

The International Coaching Federation defines coaching as an ongoing partnership that helps clients produce fulfilling results in their personal and professional lives. Through the process of coaching, a life coach helps clients to deepen their learning, improve their performance, and enhance their quality of life.

In each meeting, the client chooses the focus of conversation, while the coach listens and contributes observations and questions. This interaction creates clarity and moves the client into action. Life coaching accelerates the clients' progress by providing greater focus, revealing blind spots and creating awareness of choice.

Individuals hire a life coach

 
  • when starting a new business
  • when making a career transition
  • to re-evaluate their life choices
  • when they feel out of balance  
  • when they simply feel ready for a personal or professional breakthrough

The key concept of personal coaching is the individual attention and encouragement that the coach gives the client. Together they focus on long or short-term goals and strategies to reach them.
