What does a life coach do?
A
life coach works with you to help you define your goals and make a
plan to achieve them. As an objective professional, she can
help make you aware
of hidden qualities within you that you may have overlooked or give a different perspective on
challenges you are facing. A coach is also there to acknowledge your successes
and support you in the pursuit of your goals.
Is a life coach a therapist?
No. A life coach is not a therapist or a counselor.
Life coaching
is not psychology or social work. Life coaching focuses on your goals and how
you can effectively attain them. A life coach is not anadvice-giver. Instead
of giving you the answers, a life coach helps you find your own answers.
Who works with a life coach?
Anyone who wants to get more out of their lives. Clients run the gamut from
the homemaker
who wants to use her time more effectively to the CEO who wants to live a more
balanced life and everyone in between - business owners, lawyers, doctors, customer
service representatives, artists,
managers, athletes, etc.
How long is a typical session?
A standard session is 30 minutes long and is normally held once
a week over the
phone. During
the session, we discuss your goals, your progress, any successes and any
roadblocks. We also make plans for what needs to be accomplished by next
session. Sessions are usually purchased in monthly increments (one, two, three
or six
months). Rates are competitive and payment options are available.
What can I expect as a result of success coaching?
A survey of past International Coaching Federation clients showed that a
majority of clients felt an increase in their level of self-awareness as a
result of working with a coach. Other results of coaching included: setting
better goals, and leading a more balanced life. Lowering stress levels, building
self-confidence and generally improving quality of life were also cited as
benefits of coaching.
