What is Life Coaching?

Coaching is defined by the International Coach Federation as “an ongoing partnership that helps clients produce fulfilling results in their personal and professional lives. Through the process of coaching, clients deepen their learning, improve their performance, and enhance their quality of life.”

According to ICF, “coaching is an interactive process that helps individuals to develop more rapidly and produce more satisfying results. Coaches work with individuals in all areas including business, career, finances, health, and relationships. As a result of coaching, clients set better goals, take more action, make better decisions, and more fully use their natural strengths.”

“Professional coaches are trained to listen and observe, to customize their approach to the individual client’s needs, and to elicit solutions and strategies from the client. They believe that the client is naturally creative and resourceful and that the coach’s job is to provide support to enhance the skills, resources, and creativity that the client already has. While the coach provides feedback and an objective perspective, the client is responsible for taking the steps to produce the desired results. Coaching does not focus directly on relieving psychological pain or treating cognitive or emotional disorder.”

“In each meeting, the client chooses the focus of conversation, while the coaching listens and contributes observations and questions. This interaction creates clarity and moves the client into action. Coaching accelerates the client’s progress by providing greater focus and awareness of choice. Coaching concentrates on where clients are today and what they are willing to do to get where they want to be tomorrow.”

"The major difference between masterful training, counseling, consulting or mentoring in that the coach does not have the answers. The coach does not provide expertise. A coach operates form the presupposition that the client has all the resources, including the ability to discover and utilize resources."
