What is a life coach?

A life coach is a professional who helps you reach a goal or make a change in your life. The purpose of the life coach is to help you identify your wants and needs in the most efficient, effective & rewarding way possible. A life coach is a source of motivation & inspiration to assist in reaching your full potential. An effective strategy is a crucial part of the process. A life coach will also keep you accountable for achieving your goals and making positive changes. You may rely on family and friends to keep you on point, but sometimes this can cause a strain on those relationships. Sometimes we search for validation and approval for those around us but let's be honest feedback from family and friends can be helpful, but it is not professional or unbiased.

What does a life coach do?

A life coach is separate from your personal life and can look at your ideas and goals objectively. We help you identify your goals. Sometimes this is the hardest part of the process. A life coach works with you to determine your dreams and aspirations. A life coach helps you set realistic, tangible goals. Life coaches can assist with life transitions, such as finding a new career, starting a new relationship, or even building the courage to open that new business! The life coach helps you develop methods & tactics that will help you make the right decision for yourself & the future. Eventually, you will start creating a problem-solving mindset.

Difference between a life coach & therapist?

There is a difference between a life coach and a therapist. Life coaches DO NOT treat issues such as depression, anxiety, or mental illnesses. If for any reason, a life coach cannot help you, and your problems are beyond the realm of the life coach. A therapist enables you to identify and address issues hindering your day-to-day life, while a life coach focuses on solutions. Ultimately life coaching allows you to maximize your potential in any area.
