Life coaches help their clients identify a specific life or career goal, define the steps needed to achieve this goal, and create a plan of action. Life coaches will also help clients identify strengths, weaknesses, and obstacles that will impact their plan of action.
Most importantly, professional life coaching involves relationship building and trust. Life coaches must be able to forge a creative partnership with their clients to:
While therapists analyze a client’s past to help them understand their current behavior, life coaches identify obstacles that stop a client from achieving their goals and present strategies for getting past these obstacles.
Similar to the difference between a life coach and a therapist, coaching is different than counseling because it focuses on goal setting and not mental health. Ultimately, both practices aim to help the client on a deeply personal level but take different approaches in doing so.
Training and certification help you stand out to clients. Credentialing organizations like the International Association of Professional Recovery Coaches (IAPRC) and the International Coach Federation (ICF) follow standards of ethics that clients expect.
