What is a Life Coach?

As a Life Coach im often asked what does life coaching do and who seeks it.
Do you need help getting what you really want from your life? Then this could be for you.

As metaphor I liken it to this. What do you do if your car doesn’t run to its full capability, even though you are filling it with petrol and oil etc? You seek the knowledge of a trained professional. A mechanic. Well consider me a life mechanic. It takes an intelligent honest mind to recognize and respond to life if it isn’t as desired. There are some who would rather push on regardless of what they are truly feeling.

Why I ask?
Taking the simple step of making an appointment is not at all difficult. What would be difficult would be choosing to remain where you are if not for filled to your true potential. Discovering is a very rewarding process.

So who uses a life coach?

Many different people of all age and gender and situation do. Some recognize the power of growth and knowledge and do the course to elevate their lives further. Great.

Some are couples in relationships, looking to reconnect with each other, or their children. The housewife feeling unrecognized or lost in direction. The older person in a mindset of life has no meaning or purpose. Some who’s life is in a state of autopilot with a lack of motivation or focus on future.

It could be you require a life coach to redirect or refresh your life post experience such as cancer, or trauma. The list goes on.

This is your life.
Its not a dress rehearsal. What are you doing right now?

For me qualifying as a life coach was a natural progression. After working with various agencies I was frustrated and felt there must have been a more progressive way into projecting people’s lives into forward focused thinking. It was that search that lead me to train to be a qualified life coach. My pursuit leads me to travel to Auckland where I trained under the Ultimate Coach Group.
