Life Coaching FAQs

What is a Life Coach?

What does Life Coaching involve?

Most importantly, professional life coaching involves relationship building and trust. Life coaches must be able to forge a creative partnership with their clients to:

• Identify and create a plan for what the client wants
• Modify and build strategies to achieve a client’s goals
• Encourage self-discovery, self-awareness and growth
• Promote accountability and positive change

What's the difference between a Life Coach and a Therapist?

While therapists analyze a client’s past to help them understand their current behavior, life coaches identify obstacles that stop a client from achieving their goals and present strategies for getting past these obstacles.
