Life Coaching

ICF defines coaching as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential, which is particularly important in today's uncertain and complex environment. Coaches honour the client as the expert in his or her life and work and believe every client is creative, resourceful and whole. Standing on this foundation, the coach's responsibility is to:

• Discover, clarify, and align with what the client wants to achieve

• Encourage client self-discovery

• Elicit client-generated solutions and strategies

• Hold the client responsible and accountable (ICF Global)

Does a coach work on personal goals or business/professional goals?
Both, actually. With the line between personal and business life blurring in the new Millennium, your personal coach is a professional trained to work with all aspects of your life: your job/business and money; friends, family, and relationships; health and vitality; your various environments, and your spiritual side.
