What is Life Coaching?

“A Coaching relationship is like no other, simply because of its combination of objective detachment and commitment to the goals of the individual.”

Julie Starr

Life Coaching is simply an interactive conversation between Coach and Client where the Coach supports the Client to make decisions about their life. Life Coaching helps you to unlock your potential and live the life you really want.

A Life Coach will help you to realise your full potential and to look at problems from a different perspective by asking questions and identifying your limiting beliefs.  (Everyone has limiting beliefs and these can be challenged and changed).  A Life Coach will encourage you to stretch your comfort zones.

The point of questioning is not to elicit a ‘correct’ answer but to stimulate the client’s thinking.  A Life Coach will not tell you what to do or offer any advice but will support you to look at all the options and find your own solutions.

Life Coaching is about helping people to define and achieve their goals.  The Coach structures the process using the GROW model:

“Coaching is the art of facilitating the performance, learning and development of another”

Myles Down

The Coach will then support you to review the REALITY of your current situation.

Together you will then consider all the OPTIONS you could take to achieve the goal.

The Life Coach might ask you some challenging questions and will help to keep you on track and focussed towards the session goal, ‘parking’ other ideas that occur for another session.

When you participate in a life coaching session you will need to be alone, with no distractions.  The sessions are all about you.  You will need to have a pen and paper ready to jot down ideas and actions that emerge during the session.

Life Coaching is about developing people and empowering them to turn a dream into reality.
