As today’s world becomes more and more dysfunctional, there is a tremendous need to achieve balance in one’s life. For many, life coaching services are sought out.
What is a Life Coach?
I feel safe to say that we are all familiar with Dr Phil and Anthony Robbins. Both of these famous personalities are known for their declarations of self-empowerment and ability to help others make good choices and life decisions. These two people are “super-star” examples of what a Life Coach is.
First off, a life coach is not a therapist. Life coaches may go through various training programs, however at this current time, there is not a set standard to regulate credentials or training standards. These programs can also be found online as well as training centers around the country.
A Life Coach is designed to help you find, and reach, your personal goals. Many in hopes of enhancing their personal and business relationships retain services of a Life Coach. Life Coaching is NOT therapy from a medical perspective; it is a team effort between coach and client to enhance ones life and relationships.
An online search can lead anyone interested in pursuing a career as a Life Coach to one of many sources. Training can take anywhere from weeks, to intensive programs lasting years. Many believe that Life Coach training is a life-long process.
