Life Coaching FAQ's
What is Life Coaching?
Life coaching is about positive change for the client. Coaches are trained to work with clients in moving them forward towards their goals or help them become unstuck from a problem or issue. Coaching is based on the premise that you already have the potential in you to achieve greatness and the coach will guide you in uncovering this potential. It is an empowering experience that can really change your life.
How can Life Coaching help me?
Coaching can help you pinpoint areas of your life where you are potentially holding yourself back. It can bring clarity and eliminate confusion around an issue or way forward to achieving your goals. Coaching can also identify unhelpful thinking or behavioural patterns which could be impeding your life’s journey.
Is Life Coaching the same as Counseling?
It needs to be made very clear that Coaching is NOT the same as counselling. In coaching we empower the client to move in a forward direction towards solutions and goals. Counselling tends to be more past oriented and is designed for people who require healing. Coaching assumes that the client is already whole.
Why can't I just get my friends to coach me?
This is a great question. The simple answer is that friends and family have a bias in your life. They want what’s best for you and will give you advice which at times can hold you back. Coaching is solely about YOU and nobody else. Coaches also want what is best for you by directing the client towards their dreams in a non judgmental and strictly confidential manner.
Don't Life Coaches tell people how to live their life?
That’s the furthest from the truth. As I mentioned before Coaching is about YOU. The process gives you a safe non judgmental environment to allow you space to expand your life through your own thoughts. The coach is there to guide you with little or no advice giving.
