What is a Life Coach?

One of the common misconceptions about coaches is that they are advice-givers and problem-solvers. In reality, coaching puts the client in the driver's seat: instead of giving leaders a one-size-fits-all solution, coaches support their clients as they develop their own styles and approaches.

Life Coaching is not counseling, therapy, psychology or psychotherapy.

Simply put, a life coach is someone who helps people get clear on what they want in life, overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of their goals, and take consistent, effective action to make their dreams come true. 

They are someone who has been trained in effective coaching methods by a professional organization and successfully undergone testing to prove they mastered those methods.
