WHAT IS A LIFE COACH?

A good coach asks great questions to help move obstacles in your mind and get you back on track in life. – Fashad Asl

A Life coach can help you clarify goals, identify obstacles, and develop strategies for overcoming challenges. They focus on your unique skills and talents to create these strategies. By helping you to recognize and use your strengths, life coaches provide the support you need to attain long-lasting change.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A LIFE COACH AND A THERAPIST

Coaching isn’t therapy. It’s product development with you as the product. – Judy Hehr
