Life Coaching

Whether it’s a life skill or a new sport, coaching remains the same – it’s about helping someone do something they have not done before.

The process of life coaching looks like this:

  1. Set a goal
  2. Identify what you need to achieve that goal
  3. Understand the possible road blocks
  4. Create an action plan
  5. Hold yourself accountable in following through with the plan

This is very similar to learning a sport or trying to lose weight at the gym. The main difference with life coaching is that we use this framework for life skills rather than physical skills.
