Why You Need a Life Coach
What does Metallica, Oprah Winfrey, Leonardo DiCaprio, Bill Clinton, and Serena Williams all have in common? They have all used a life coach at some point in their lives. Tony Robbins, a world-renown master motivator describes a life coach as someone who “encourages and counsels clients on a range of professional and personal issues.” He says that life coaching is “distinct from giving advice, consulting, counseling, mentoring and administering therapy.” A life coach is different from a therapist in that the process for life coaching can be long or short term. Therapy is designed to work through behaviors, issues, feelings or past traumas that would result in a long-term process. A life coach works with their clients to identify goals, obstacles, and behaviors so that clients can take control of their lives through action-based programs to achieve results.
