What is a life coach? I believe a life coach is a trained professional that will encourage and provide an ear, counsel and maybe even a little nudge to get you from where you are now… to where you want to be.

A coach is going to help you get clear with what it is you want and feel and create a plan of action to get there.

A coach is a someone is going to create with you in a coactive model and create a partnership that will help serve you and obtain all of your visions and goals.

A coach is going to work with someone who is ready for these changes in their life and that wants to be in this relationship of coaching.

• The first life coaching session will look to gain an overall perspective of someone's life, before identifying which area they seek to improve or are currently unhappy with.

• The life coach and client will agree goals that during sessions will be broken down into more achievable objectives.

• It is then down to the individual to go away with the techniques they have been taught and work on what has been agreed.

As mentioned previously in the empowerment phase, it is between sessions that the individual must possess the drive and focus to want to change. This will be facilitated by the life coach who during the sessions will change how someone looks at both themselves and the rest of the world and in time a more positive thought process will be developed. It is the alteration of their thought process combined with the desire to change and challenge themselves that will allow the individual to ultimately achieve their goals.
