What is life coaching?| | According to the International Coach Federation, life coaching is an on-going partnership that helps clients produce fulfilling results in their personal and professional lives. Through the process of life coaching, clients deepen their learning, improve their performance and enhance their quality of life. Beginning with their clients' desires, life coaches use reporting, exploring and a consistent commitment to move the client forward. Life coaching accelerates the clients' progress by providing greater focus and awareness of choices. |
Areas of focus can include the following:
- Confidence and self esteem
- Career
- Relationships
- Communication skills
- Losing weight and reaching optimal health
- Dreams and achievements
- Money and finance
- Getting what you want in life
