What is a life coach? Why would I need one?
Let's first define what a coach isn't first.
A life coach is different from a counselor, mentor or a consultant.
Counselors work in the psychological realm typically helping people with becoming emotionally healthy. Counselors will use guided questions, activities, talk therapy ect.. They are typically certified by an accrediting body and accept insurance.
Mentors have "been there, done that, now let me show you how" type of guide. They will use their knowledge and experience in a specific field and help you achieve the same thing. Mentors will tell you what to do, how to do it and when to do it. Mentors usually do not have any certifications.
Consultants are similar to mentors, but instead of going to the mentor, the consultant comes to you. A consultant will usually come assist, manage and make business decisions with the overall performance of a company. Again consultants will tell you what needs to be done, when and how. Consultants usually don't have any certifications.
Life coaches on the other hand are someone who supports, encourages and empowers a person to define and achieve their goals. Life coaches believe that you are the expert in your life. They will use guided questions and goal setting tactics to let you explore and unlock what is best for you. Coaches relationships with their clients are built around mutual trust and accountability. Only some life coaches are certified. Search for a certified life coach in your area here.
Not everyone needs a coach. If you think you might benefit from someone helping you see and understand your gifts, talents and passions that you already have, a coach can be a mirror. Oftentimes we have the answer to our own problems but need to verbalize it in a safe environment that only a coach can provide.
