What is Coaching?

A life coach is a wellness professional who helps you make progress in your life, maximize your full potential and reach your desired results. Life coaches can help you clarify your goals, identify and overcome the obstacles holding you back and hold you accountable and encourage you throughout your journey. By helping you make the most out of your strengths, skills and gifts, they provide the support you need to achieve long-lasting change and become the best version of yourself.
The role of a coach is not to impart wisdom, but rather to use techniques to facilitate the client’s own process of connecting to their inner wisdom and making choices about their own actions and next steps.

Working with a life coach can be viewed as a means of bridging the gap between your current circumstances and the life you’d like to lead.

Here are only some of the positive outcomes that could result from joining forces with a life coach:

  • Elimination of long-held fears and anxieties and a better control of emotions and stress
  • Creating professional and personal growth plan
  • Managing important life or business transitions
  • Improved communication skills
  • Stronger relationships with friends and family
  • A more realistic and objective vision of your life and your priorities
  • An improved personal insight and self-reflection
  • A more efficient definition, recalibration and achievement of your goals
  • A more satisfying work life and a better work/life balance.

It is very important to remember, though, that life coaches do fill many roles, but they are not psychologists or psychiatrists. They’ve been trained to ask questions and help you examine your mindset and overcome obstacles, but they can’t provide treatment for mental health issues like depression or severe anxiety. Always stay away from life coaches who claim they can help you with this kind of mental issues, a life coach should never be considered as a substitute to a mental health professional. Always see a trained mental health provider if you think you may have a serious mental health problem.
