What Is Life Coaching?

Before you can become a Life Coach, you need to understand what Life Coaching is all about.

There are many different definitions of Life Coaching but the International Coach Federation (ICF) provides the following;

"Coaching is partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.
Professional coaches provide an ongoing partnership designed to help clients produce fulfilling results in their personal and professional lives. Coaches help people improve their performances and enhance the quality of their lives.

Coaches are trained to listen, to observe and to customize their approach to individual client needs. They seek to elicit solutions and strategies from the client; they believe the client is naturally creative and resourceful. The Coach's job is to provide support to enhance the skills, resources, and creativity that the client already has. "

In short, Life Coaching is all about helping people get from where they are in their lives now to where they want to be in the future. It helps people produce extraordinary results in their personal and professional lives.
