Life Coaches accept that people have the solutions for their lives within them, but may need the support of a partner to provide, a safe, confidential and non-judgmental environment in which to clarify their goals; increase awareness of their options, as well as awareness of blocks to their progress and identify and select a plan to move forward.
Unlike Consultants, Coaches see clients as the expert on their own lives, and will partner with clients to implement a plan they both develop. Unlike Mentors, Coaches do not focus on promoting themselves as models of success, rather they are experts on the “coaching process” and use the process to move clients forward in their lives. Unlike Sports Coaches, Life Coaches do not promote win-lose, rather “win-win,” as Coaches help clients assess what the impact of their choices will be on their significant relationships and their personal, work, and societal contexts. Unlike Therapists, Coaches do not treat mental illnesses or dwell on the past or dysfunction, nor try to analyze behaviour. Coaches focus on the opportunities that life experiences provide and on solutions that will take clients from where they are now, to where they want to be.
Life Coaches focus on “How?” versus “Why?” and assist clients to develop solutions that honour their values.
