PostScript Media - Life Coaching I am a qualified Life Coach, having studied for a diploma with Newcastle University. Life Coaching isn't counselling, it isn't psychiatry. It is about getting the best out of a person and the best out of their situation. It is about helping a person to deal with life through the introduction of positive thinking and individual goals. It is all about a positive state of mind. You will find that by being positive, everything in your life will have more meaning and stress levels will come down. What is Life Coaching? Life coaching is a way of providing people with personal support that is committed to their success and development. What Does The Life Coach Do? The coach works with a client to enhance their quality of life and encourage their personal and professional growth. It will show them ways in which they can achieve their personal goals by identifying where a person is now, identifying where they want to be and finding ways of getting them there. Will The Life Coach Impose his/her Views and Values on the Client? Absolutely not. The life coach doesn't tell people how to do things. The idea is to help people to find their own answers and keep them moving along a path set out for them. Is Life Coaching just therapy or Counselling in disguise? No. Life coaching doesn't look at past experiences or emotional issues. It doesn't give "quick fixes" to cope with short term crises. It builds a "path to the future" through goal setting. What Makes a Good Life Coach? A good life coach will have a greater interest in people than things, they will have a genuine desire to help others and be totally committed to their client's success. A good life coach will have excellent verbal communication, will be able to gain the trust of clients and be able to be told things about that person in strictest confidence. They will not be judgmental or critical but will act as a catalyst or facilitator. What Kind of Thing Will a Life Coach Look At? A life coach helps the client to define where they want to be by setting goals and helping them to reach their destination by achieving those goals. The coach will never talk about failure and will look to turn negatives into positives. And that's just the start. To find out more e-mail me by clicking here.
