A coach is someone that seeks to empower others by helping them make, meet and exceed their goals, both in their personal and professional lives
Coaching can help with virtually any aspect of someone’s life, whether it is in their personal or professional life.
There are many other reasons why people seek the services of a coach for personal endeavours.
These vary from a lack of motivation to exercise, help taking up a new hobby or indeed improving at an existing hobby, and having someone to consult before taking a gap year or year abroad.
- What does a Coach do?
A coach encourages and counsels’ clients on a range of professional and personal issues. Coaching is distinct from giving advice, consulting, counselling, mentoring and administering therapy. You hire a coach to help you with specific professional projects, personal goals and transitions.
A coach helps you grow by analysing your current situation, identifying limiting beliefs and other potential challenges and obstacles you face and devising a custom plan of action designed to help you achieve specific outcomes in your life.
