A Life Coach provides support, structure and encouragement to help individuals fulfil their potential, make the most of their lives and move forward in the areas in which they want to change, key areas including relationships, careers, fitness, work-life balance or self-confidence.
By observation, listening and questioning, a Life Coach explores their client’s current situation, values and beliefs. They work with them to find ways in which they might achieve their aims and help them to set appropriate goals. By remaining supportive and non-judgmental, a Life Coach encourages their clients to maintain motivation and commitment and find ways of overcoming barriers and setbacks.
They may challenge assumptions through constructive feedback and questioning, but they do not tell clients what to do; their main aim is to empower them to take control of their life by finding the answers for themselves. Once qualified and you have built up experience, other options and niche areas of focus for your practice will develop. For example:
- Career coaching
- Wellness coaching
- Parent skills coaching
- Retirement coaching
- And more, see syllabus for fur details
This content-rich training will show you, step by step, how to coach effectively, starting with yourself and then working with others. This learning will be both a personal and a professional development journey that will equip you with the tools and the confidence to become a powerful Life Coach that really gets results.
As well as learning the core skills required to be a successful Life Coach, you will look at some actual coaching sessions so that you understand the coaching process, how clients develop new options and have life-changing breakthroughs. There can be few careers that can be as rewarding, satisfying and exciting as a career in Life Coaching. This training programme could be the beginning of a whole new life, not only for you but for all of your potential clients!
