People always ask what life coaching actually is. Life coaching is many things to many people. People often confuse the outcomes and the process.

In a nutshell life coaching is about winning the game that you are playing. The game is set by the client. The client may want to move job, or improve their relationship with a partner. Therefore this is their game and I help them win that game.

The client needs to describe the game, the rules, the other team and then we sit down together and work out the game plan.

Along the way many life changing things will happen. The client will learn more about themselves, what they want from life, their goals, values and beliefs.

Therapy looks at the past and sees who to change the present. Life coaching looks at the present situation and how to create a fantastic future.

Life coaching realizes that what happened in the past is "useful" but we don't dwell on the past, as your past does not need to shape your future.

Remember all the great sports stars have and always use coaches. They know that although they are the best at what they do they need someone to keep them on track and make them better.

So many people don't think of life like this and are content to go with the flow. When you hire a life coach they will help you become great. It's a partnership, a good life coach will listen and help you clarify your life. Life coaches don't give advice as you the client know the answer although up to this point you may not have realized it!

Life coaching is the generic all emcompassing term to help you achieve what you want in life.
