What does a life coach do?

A life coach helps people regain purpose in their lives. They assist with goal setting, identifying hurdles, and strategizing on ways to overcome them.

Since every individual is unique, life coaches must first understand your talents and skills. After that, they assist you in utilizing the strengths you possess to turn your life around.

Instances where a life coach intervention would come in handy include:

  • Work dissatisfaction

  • Addiction issues

  • An unfulfilling social life

  • Irritability, stress, and anxiety

How the relationship often works:

  1. You visualize your goals

  2. The coach helps shape your vision

  3. The life coach encourages you to take a self-discovery journey

  4. You pursue an action plan and show accountability

Depending on why you have hired one, the coach analyses your situation and pinpoints the challenges preventing you from achieving your desired goals. Eventually, they devise an action plan to help you to achieve your goals.
