What the heck is Life Coaching?

The International Coach Federation (ICF) defines Coaching as: “Partnering with clients, customers, colleagues or employees, in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.”
World-renowned coach and author, Michael Neill (Genius Catalyst) gives a concise, but impactful, definition: “Life Coaching is the art and science of awakening human potential.”
In the coaching process, we deem the client to be naturally Creative, Resourceful and Whole. In other words, he/she does not need “fixing”. Rather, the client has within them all that they need to achieve fulfillment, clarity and success in their lives.
The relationship between coach and client is an equal and powerful alliance based on trust and safety that allows the client to experience a journey of self-discovery. In this process, he/she can tap into their strengths and talents, de-clutter the mind, release stress, deepen the learning and move forward.
Recent studies in neuroscience support the fact that we can retrain our brain, at any age, and learn to change how we perceive fear and shift to a place of more clarity and peace. We can burn new neuro-pathways in the brain by changing our thoughts and beliefs about how we experience the world around us.
Choosing a trained and certified life coach insures that the coach has completed intense and specific education and has had the benefit of working with experienced master mentor coaches.
Life Coaching is an incredibly positive and life-affirming experience, rather than one that is about fixing what’s wrong. Coaching increases confidence and clarity and helps to identify and remove obstacles to success. Coaching also enhances communication with others and improves relationships in both our personal and business lives.
Personal Coaches help clients soar!
Take the first step today!
