Reasons Why You Should Embrace Life Coaching In Your Essence

By Jim Robbins


Life coaching also referred to as personal coaching has gained so much popularity these days. Simply put this is a practice that aids individuals to be able to identify and even achieve their personal goals. The coaches use various techniques and tools so as to help you achieve your own goals. The way this works is that you pay the coach and you speak on the phone for thirty to sixty minutes.

The amount you are charged and the services that are offered will vary depending on different coaches. The main duties of this coach are sharing advice with you, offering direction, aid you in making plans and they should hold you accountable for all the actions that you take on a day to day basis.

If you want to be a healthy individual then seek the services of a health coach. If you plan on starting a business or you would wish to see your business increase in sales, then hire a business coach. If you wish to boost your productivity on a daily basis, then you can seek the services of a productivity coach.

For you to be a life coach, you should be familiar with disciplines such as psychology, positive adult development, sociology, career counselling, mentoring and NLP. Modern personal coaching was first started by Benjamin Karter who was a college football coach and later turned into a motivational speaker.

This and therapy are not one and the same thing and you should be able to tell the difference. For you to be a personal coach, you need credentials and certificates and great thing is that you can take your classes from home by simply studying from the internet or you can attend physical classes which are available worldwide.

Budgeting and finances, personal growth and spirituality, lifestyle, self care, health, aging, self care, intimacy and relationship, small business development and entrepreneurial, career growth and planning, parenting and family are some of the areas that personal coaches are certified to cover when dealing with their clients.

Good life coaching can be very costly but you should know that nothing comes easy and quality is key. Great thing about this is that enough years down the line you will still be reaping fruits from the lessons that you learnt from your coach. Make sure that you get value for your money and you should therefore not settle for anyone who is not professional and who does not have their credentials to be a personal coach. Go for someone that you can work with well and who you can find a friend in.
