What is Coaching?
Life Coach
A life coach is someone who can help you identify strengths and weaknesses and overcome obstacles holding you back. A coach works with you, empowers you to seek the changes you want, and helps you find these answers within yourself!
YOU are the expert in your life. YOU have the knowledge and resources you need to get what you want.
Pillars of Coaching
Coaching is rooted in three ideas:
- A dissatisfaction with current state (Desire)
- A vision for change
- The will to do the work of change
(Beckhard-Harris Change model)
