LIFE COACH FAQs
WHAT IS A
LIFE COACH?
As a life coach, my main focus is the future and helping my clients identify goals they wish to accomplish in their personal and professionally lives. I do this by creating an achievable plan and focusing on solutions, not the problems themselves.
​
I will be there to provide encouragement, a listening ear and direction from point A to point B. It is my job and passion as life coach to give a guiding hand in assisting you towards a happy, productive future.
DO I NEED A
LIFE COACH?
Ask yourself these simple questions:
​
-
Am I under constant stress?
-
Am I dreading my next argument with my spouse, child or co-worker?
-
How is my health overall?
-
Do I make excuses often?
-
How many times have I been reprimanded at work for poor performance or taking too many days off dealing with family matters within the last couple of years?
​
If you answered, "Yes," to any of these questions, you could benefit from a life coach's structured guidance. It's important to provide "self-care, and love" for ourselves first, before we have capacity to love others.
​
When we're stuck and feeling trapped by our past decisions, we can easily become co-dependent with family, friends or coworkers. Life coaches ask questions triggering answers that press us towards greater expectations and standards for our lives.
​
(If you need a more specialized approach to deep-seated issues, have debilitating trauma, or experiencing mental health complications, then a licensed therapist may be the better option.)
