Life Coaching

Life coaching can help people with a variety of issues such as confidence at their job, improving self-image, and getting better at public speaking.

Life coaching is a practice that helps people identify and achieve personal goals. Life coaches assist clients by using a variety of tools and techniques. Life coaching draws inspiration from disciplines such as sociology, psychology, positive adult development and career counselling. Specialty life coaches may have degrees in psychological counselling, hypnosis, dream analysis, marketing and other areas relevant to providing guidance. However, they are not necessarily therapists or consultants; psychological intervention and business analysis may be outside the scope of some coaches’ work.

Life coaching is a transformational process which involves expanding a person’s horizon by helping them see previously unseen possibilities. This is accomplished by removing limiting beliefs, habits and behaviours and reshaping the person to increase their ability to adapt to the continuously changing environments and new demands. This enables them to be more effective and confident, strengthening their personal and professional competencies.

Many Life-Coach training schools and programs are available worldwide, providing options including classroom attendance or home study – for the individual who wants to gain a certificate or diploma and paid work in the field of life coaching. Many certificates and a few diploma credential designations are available within the profession.
