What is a life coach?

A life coach listens to you and is able to help you verbalize what you want to achieve in life. Once your plan is created, a life coach will help you stick with your plan to help you achieve the goal(s) you have set to accomplish. A life coach will then support, encourage, challenge, and motivate you to achieve your goal(s). 

How does life coaching work?

Life coaching focuses on you. You set the tone for each life coaching session. In the first few sessions, you are able to talk about where you want to be in your life and what areas of your life you want to improve. From there, you set the goal(s) you would like to accomplish. Once your goal(s) have been established, we will create an action plan. An action plan outlines what steps you will need to take in order to achieve your set goals. Life coaching holds you accountability for achieving those goals by discussing your action plan and the challenges you have encountered along the way. Life coaching allows you to stay focused and adapt your plans as needed in order to achieve your goal(s).

How is life coaching different from counseling?

Both life coaching and counseling focus on individuals improving their lives. Both life coaches and counselors ask important questions and remain objective in your search for answers. However, counselors primarily focus on past emotions and issues affecting the present. Counselors primarily focus on treating symptoms of an underlying mental health condition. However, life coaches focus on current behaviors and issues affecting the future.
