Life Coach

What is a Life Coach?

A life coach is a person you pay to keep you on track.  Think of her/him as a personal trainer for your life.  She helps you to define your goals more clearly, she helps you to be realistic and accountable in completing them, and sometimes kicks your butt when you need it.  You can think of him as a mapper, he will help you to map out your goals based on your needs and supports your process as you move towards a happier, healthier life.

Who needs one?

If your motivated but just not sure what steps to take next then a coach would he helpful. If you have areas of your life that are doing great and other areas are not so great then a coach will help you to find that balance.  If you know where you want to go but don't know all the steps or unsure of your resources then a coach could be for you.

What to look for in a Life Coach.

A life coach needs to be a great listener and visionary.  He needs to be able see what you see when you picture the direction of your life.  The only way he can do that is to listen, it is through you he will be able to see.  A Life Coach doesn't appease you.  He doesn't judge you.  You need to determine your needs first, prior deciding.  Ask yourself what kind of person will you respect even if they disagree with you.

You need to be honest about yourself during this process, do you conform or rebel when your backed into a corner.  Picking the right coach is the difference between a positive or negative life changing experience.  So pick wisely.
