I trained as a life coach in 2008, after completing what was an intense 2yr NZQA Diploma. Ways in which a life coach can work, vary depending on what your specific goals are. A life coach encourages and counsels you on a range of professional and personal issues. Life coaching is distinct from giving advice, consulting, counselling, mentoring and administering therapy. You would hire a coach to help you with specific professional projects, personal goals and transitions. I can help you grow by analysing your current situation, identifying limiting beliefs and other potential challenges and obstacles you face by devising a custom plan of action, designed to help you achieve specific outcomes in your life.The relationship between a you and your lifestyle coach is a creative partnership that seeks to:• Identify, clarify and create a vision for what the client wants• Use coach’s expertise to modify goals as needed• Encourage client’s self-discovery and growth• Nurture and evoke strategies and a plan of action based on what fits best with the client’s goals, personality and vision• Foster client accountability to increase productivity
