The question, What is Life Coaching comes up many times in my conversations. So I thought I’d make this video and share about it.
We all have aspirations, we have dreams, many goals, and expectations from relationships and life. Even though each one of us has unlimited potential, many of us fall short of achieving our dreams and goals. The challenge is, we are unaware why we are not able to achieve our dreams and goals, and what is it that we need to do differently to be able to achieve anything we want.
This is where a life coach comes into picture. Life coaching is a very structured method to help you understand your potential and achieve your goals. I’ll talk about it a bit more in detail in this video.
One important disclaimer I want to make here. Many people think Life Coaching is like Therapy. It is not. Life Coaching is not Therapy!
Therapy deals with things like mental illness, depression, past traumas, coping with abuse, treat addiction and substance abuse, among other things.
Therapy is focused on PAST and PRESENT life situations. But life coaching is PRESENT and FUTURE focused. A Life Coach might try to work with your past only to help you realize how the past is affecting your present and future. I’ll talk about these differences in detail in a separate video.

There are 5 specific areas that Life Coaching and a Life Coach can support you with.
First of all, the most important thing. An experienced Life Coach will you help you realize your true potential. Not just tell you that you are great, you can do anything you want, but actually help you realize this fact that you have unlimited potential and you can achieve anything that you set your mind to.
The next important thing is to help you understand the reasons why you are not able to achieve your goals, be it career goals, relationship goals, financial goals, health goals and many other goals. A life coach will help you understand your fears, doubts, limiting beliefs, and mindset that might be coming in the way of reaching your goals.
Once you realize what is stopping you from meeting your goals, the third thing a Life Coach will help you is support you with tools and resources to actually overcome these obstacles. This is also a very important step that will actually transform you as a person and how you approach life going forward. There are many coaching tools that a life coach might use while working with you.
The fourth step is to dream big and plan a future life story and vision for your life. The life coach will help you chart the path and provide you with all the tools, resources, and support necessary to help you create a future you want.
During this entire journey, a Life Coach will be there for you at each step to provide you with encouragement, support, and be your accountability partner. They will be that support system that you can rely on while you make the journey to meet the changed you!
During this entire journey a Life Coach is expected to have a very clear communication with their clients about the roles and responsibilities The Coach and the Client will have during their engagement, maintain very high standard of integrity and confidentiality, is not biased about your age, gender, rage, sexual preferences, or other things. A Life Coach is expected to build trust with their clients and be honest at all times.
