Life Coaching Explained

web design square   What is Life Coaching?

Life Coaching will remove the things preventing you from achieving your true potential. It's not about giving advice, nor does it involve counselling or therapy. Life coaching is about moving you forward in a positive manner, and creating a successful and balanced life. Life Coaching concentrates on results.
Life Improvement Coach - Keith Jones

Unlike sports coaching, which tends to be specific and involves coaches who are experts in their sport, life coaching is general and the life coach doesn't need to have specific skills in the area being coached. In actual fact it is often better that the coach doesn't - this prevents them from offering advice and/or limiting the potential of the client. The nature of coaching enables your coach to help you resolve all sorts of life and career issues because coaching techniques are non-specific. Unlike mentoring, coaching doesn't depend on expertise in a particular field.


Management Consultants and sports coaches tend to input 75% or more of the plan of action. But life coaching works the other way round... as the client, you will input the vast majority of the action plan. Your life coach acts as a catalyst to bring ideas out of you, the client, through encouragement, support and discussion. Also, your coach will help you create a balanced life, rather than concentrating on a specific issue, although at times specific issues may need to be addressed as well.

One of the great things about coaching is that it works with all sorts of people from all sorts of backgrounds. For instance, I've coached people from the age of 12 up to the age of 70, with equal success. I've coached people in top management positions to people working for themselves to people looking to restart their careers... again with great success!

The most important thing I look for in my clients is a desire to change... a desire to improve... and the willingness to give it a go! Does that sound like you?


web design square   The Coaching Process

Coaching sessions take place in one of two ways:

Telephone - this is by far the most popular method, since it removes travelling time, saving time and money. At the end of a coaching session, a convenient time is arranged for the next session, for the client to call the coach.

Face to face - this option is preferred by some individuals but is mostly used for business coaching, where three or four people may be individually coached in individual sessions throughout the day.

Payment and fees - payment is made by cheque or credit card (using PayPal) in advance. Sessions are normally booked in blocks of six or more, with discounts offered for larger bookings. Since each client has different needs, fees will be discussed during your initial meeting or telephone call.

Life Improvement Coaching works because you'll be empowered to make the decisions that will take your life forward. I'll focus on results and help you define your goals. Perhaps most importantly, you will commit to take action based on decisions you make during each coaching session... and, at the start of the next session, you'll tell me how successful you've been! Coaching helps you remove the barriers preventing you from achieving success, by helping you change beliefs that are holding you back.

What do you want out of life?

The only thing that stands between a person and what they want from life is often merely the will to try it and the faith to believe that it is possible..."
