The Role of a Life Coach
A life coach helps people to close the gap between where they are now and where they want to be in their personal or professional life.
A life coach is a guide who helps the client to form a vision of where they want to be in their life.
Once the client is clear and confident about their vision the coach’s role is to enable the client to form a number of different strategies, (these are the steps to achieve the vision) once these strategies have been established the coach and the client then form a detailed action plan in order to achieve the clients vision.
A life coach can take the role of a manager or a guide but not the role of a teacher because life coaching is not about teaching the client; it is about self-discovery as the life coach enables the client to discover what they want from their life and how to achieve it.
A life coach is like an important stepping-stone, which the client needs in order to achieve their vision/ goals.
