Life Coaching
"What you seek is seeking you." -- Rumi
Life Coaching is a form of development in which a person called a coach supports a learner or client in achieving a specific personal or professional goal by providing training and guidance.
Three words can be used to describe what a life coach does:
- Guidance
- Empowerment and
- Improvement
Guidance is the life coach providing the tools and support for someone to broaden their perspective and open their mind, hence enabling them to reach their goals.
Empowerment is to a large extent down to the individual to realise their own self-worth and self-belief that has, for one reason or another, diminished.
And improvement in the sense that an individual will go from where they are to where they want to be, in effect reaching their goal.
