An Article by Aquarius Coaching
“What is life coaching?”, is the most frequently asked of all the questions we receive. This article aims to give you an overview of life coaching, although there is clearly no substitute for your own experience.
Life coaching is simply a conversation between a client and a life coach. Many people liken it to having a conversation with a very good friend, who simply listens and then asks astute questions that help to unlock situations, thoughts and challenges that they are experiencing. The difference is that whereas your friend will give you well intentioned advice, often containing opinion or personal agenda, your coach is independent, impartial and non-judgemental.
People understand that to be the best sports person that they can be, they need a coach to partner them and empower them to greater heights of skill and achievement. Life coaching is the same, only the focus is on excellence, skill and achievements in your life. Quite simply, if you want a better game, get a sports coach; if you want a better life, get a life coach.
We believe that our clients are creative, resourceful and whole; this means that the answers to their life challenges are within them. The role of a life coach is to help to bring these answers out and then help shape them into a plan or a useful form that can benefit you life. The coach does not provide you with all the answers, the only opinion that truly counts in your life is your own.
For us, our own experience of coaching was so transformational that we decided to train in coaching ourselves, in order that we could bring these skills and opportunities to others.
