What is a life coach? How can life coaching help you? How is it different than other helping professions? We’ve got you covered with these Life Coaching FAQs
Coaching is a client centered partnership.
The International Coaching Federation, defines coaching as:
“partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.”
A professional coach is not a mentor, consultant, therapist, or advisor.
A professional coach is a partner in service of your change, growth, development and towards maximizing your potential. A professional coach will focus on forward momentum via action.
Therapy focuses on mental health and emotional healing – the past, while life coaching focuses on setting and achieving goals – the future.
