What is Life Coaching

Life Coaching is a dynamic partnership in which you are helped to clarify your values and important goals AND are supported to take action to achieve them. Coaching encourages you to move beyond life situations which feel unfulfilling, unproductive or unbalanced. Coaching trainer Laura Whitworth calls a coach a "personal navigator for the journey of your life."

Life Coaching is different from therapy. Therapy is a healing process which frequently focuses on returning an individual to normal functioning by addressing past issues or problems. Coaching helps people who already "handle" life well to find even greater success, balance and fulfillment by actualizing their dreams. Coaching supports a personal change process which utilizes individual responsibility, learning and action for dramatically improving life. Coaching assumes that people can use their resourcefulness and creativity for personal growth and transformation.

Life coaching was first developed in the business world as a means to improve executive or management success, in the sports world to improve performance and in the personal development field to increase awareness and fulfillment. The focus now has been expanded to help people in many areas. In this time of constant rapid change, our intentional growth and redefinition is crucial to the maintenance of happiness and success.

"Adventure is an attitude that we must apply to the day to day obstacles of life facing new challenges, seizing new opportunities, testing our resources against the unknown and in the process discovering our own unique potential."
