What is a Life Coach?

There is a lot of confusion around life coaching. Some people confuse it with therapy, others with new age or other “out there” stuff, but in reality, life coaches work with people from all walks of life, and help with all kinds of growth.

Any time there is a gap between where you are, and where you want to be, a life coach can help.

By identifying an ideal goal, whether it is changing careers, finding a healthy relationship, taking a business to a new level, improving professional or interpersonal relationships, or deepening self-understanding, I work to help my clients develop a roadmap and support them as they take the actions necessary to reach that goal. By focusing on my client’s strengths, I help them find their own solutions and share with them my insight and intuition.

Still not sure about this life coaching business?

Well then, let me ask you this, do you have everything you want in your personal life? What about your professional life, is that where you want it to be? If not, a life coach can help.

Knowledge of an issue or circumstance or intention alone does not translate into changing behaviors. I mean, think about it, New Year’s resolutions…how many of those goals stick? Bottom line, if simply recognizing the need to make change equaled a change made, we would all be exactly where we want and need to be!

To reach your goals, whatever they may be, there is a little bit of work involved. And if you need help with your focus and planning your journey to change, a life coach can help. And that’s what I am, a life coach. I am excited each and every time I get to help people think outside the box and find the solutions they need to make their lives something that works for them…
here and now.

Stress management, time management, goal setting, it is what I love, and helping my clients find their goals and help them in these key areas as they move forward is what it’s all about.

Seeing is believing, so if you would like to know more about life coaching, feel free to drop me a line.
