What is a Life Coach?
A life coach is a type of wellness professional who helps people make progress in their lives in order to attain greater fulfillment. Life coaches aid their clients in improving their relationships, careers, academics, and day-to-day lives.
Why is having a life coach important?
As you may have noticed, life coaching can be used in all aspects of life. Many adults have had a life coach in some form without knowing that's what it was. You could say a mentor, a shoulder to cry on or that sage advise an elder passed onto you. However, in today's climate it can be challenging for young people to have a life coach naturally in their lives. Parents may be too busy, family members could be distant and friends are not wise enough to share in that form of knowledge. That's where a life coach shines. We are an outside resource that can see a situation differently and bring in proven methods of advise to help guide those young individuals to where they want to be. With anything there are limitations to any craft and as a parent or individual seeking help, you may want to consider if coaching or if therapy is a better fit. Sometimes similar, these two methods of external guidance offer two distinctive approaches:
Coaching vs Therapy
Coaching
• Seek to empower
• Focus on the future
• Set and achieve goals
• Determine life mission statement
Both
• Provide a safe setting for open and honest communication
• Tackle complex issues
Therapy
• Seek to remove pain
• Focus on the past
• Heal past trauma
• Treat mental illness

How my life coaching helps you
Do you want a change in your life? Sometimes this can be altering a certain behavior that may be hindering your progress or an external barrier keeping you from succeeding. I provide coaching by guiding you and helping you explore areas in your life that can help you achieve your goals. With my life coaching, I have a wide variety of evident based approaches to help any young person in whatever difficulty they may be facing. Many instances can be solved through conversations that they couldn't have anywhere else, developing solutions through self-reflection and having an action step to follow.
Other ways I coach is by having regular sessions to help with accountability, creating a safe zone and showing young people the value of their relationship with others. In turn, this can benefit the youth within their grades, conduct, well being, outlook in life, family life, social interactions and much more. Our early years in life is very influential and it is important for us to build a strong foundation, which makes a life coach a great way to help in cementing that. If you are a young person needing help or a parent/loved one reaching out for a young adult in their life, feel free to contact me today to get started on overcoming those obstacles!
