What is Life Coaching?
The most common misconception with Life Coaching is that it is synonymous with therapy. When picturing a Life Coaching session, many conjure up the antiquated vision of lying on a couch across the room from a practitioner with a clipboard. While some coaches may use a clipboard, the dynamics of a Life Coaching session are far from that of traditional therapy.
The fundamental difference between therapy and Life Coaching is that a coach’s job is to meet you where you are and help you move forward to get where you want to be. Traditional therapy begins where you are and goes back into your story to help heal the past. In Coaching, the goal is to always move forward! In order to move forward, it is sometimes necessary to look back into the past. However, in Coaching, we never stay in the past for long and are always working towards your present goal(s).
Life Coaching helps to break down your goals into small, achievable steps, and your coach is there to motivate you, keep you accountable, and guide you to your desired results. By using proven tools and techniques, your coach will work with you to overcome obstacles, either personal or professional, and help you to operate at your full potential!
