What does a life coach do?
Life coaches help clients unlock their full potential. Whether assisting with career or personal life, life coaches provide an objective perspective to offer guidance and act as a sounding board. A life coach doesn't provide all the answers or do the work for the client but helps them find their own answers and the best way to accomplish their goals.
Do I need a life coach?
No matter your reason for seeking a coach, it is personal. In a chaotic world, our identities can be shaped by the opinions and views of those around us, limiting our beliefs and experiences. A life coach's role is not to direct your life but to help you determine what truly matters to you, what you need more or less of, and what you truly want your life to be about.
​
The real question is, are you living your life as you should? If the answer is "no," you need a coach.
​
What can a life coach tell me about myself that I do not already know?
​
A life coach won't know you better than you know yourself, but an experienced coach can see through the narrative you've been telling yourself for years. They will delve deeper into your story and challenge you to rethink your actions and beliefs.
​
A life coach is not there to provide answers but to ask questions that make you reconsider the answers you've accepted without question.
​
Coaching can reveal much more about you than you realize, including your limiting beliefs, life story, values, and aspirations. Each coaching session can bring unexpected results.
