“Life Coaching is a profession that is completely different from counselling, advice, consulting, or therapy. The coaching process examines what is going on in the person’s life right now, unpacking what their obstacles or challenges are, and formulating a course of action to help them achieve the things that they want in life – help them to build the life they are seeking and desire.

A life coach will provide a safe and empowering space for individuals to identify the ways they want to improve their life and then create goals/intentions with tools that are positive, future focused and inspiring. They will help to break down these goals/intentions into manageable steps (baby steps) to help the person transition from where they currently are, to where they want to be.

They will actively listen and offer challenge and thought provoking questions to help the person develop a deeper understanding of themselves. And, a life coach will also provide accountability and challenge the person’s perspective, helping them to step outside of their comfort zones … all while giving the needed tools to help a person grow and transform.

It’s different from counselling where sessions focus mainly on the person’s past in order to bring about understanding and healing. It is also different from mentoring or advice – the life coach’s goal is not to tell the person what they should do or how to live their life. It’s about being a facilitator that empowers the person to identify the changes that they would like to make and then helping them through the process of achieving these goals.

Life coaching is about asking questions and offering a range of skills that empower the person to find the answers within themselves.

Whether you are suffering from a pain point or asking yourself “what’s next?”, life coaching might be for you. Life coaching is focused on growth, development, and expansion. It helps you find clarity over confusion, and transformation over a pattern of two steps forward and 3 steps back. The life coaching experience feels great and gets you better results!

Life coaches work to help you improve your well-being in the following areas of self: Mental, Emotional, Physical, Spiritual, Environment, Behavioral, and Relational.
