Life coaching is a relatively new trend, so many people may still be largely unfamiliar with what it entails. A life coach is charged with enriching the lives of those who have experienced significant success in their lives. Just as a sports coach helps his players play a winning game, a life coach helps his client to win at life. Life coaching consists of helping a person organize their life so that their opportunity for even greater success is maximized.
Coaching became a popular profession when those who held the most important positions got so stressed out that they turned to professionals in search of coping skills. Also, as the Baby Boomer generation came to be the age of seniority and the economy was on the fast track toward a downward spiral, businesses started laying off certain individuals. These individuals then sought help in dealing with job loss and reinvention. The majority of people who turn to a life coach for help are still corporate employees, but this type of help is quickly becoming more mainstream.
As a life coach, I can help a great person achieve even greater goals. If someone has already experienced immeasurable success in their life, their success has no boundaries. I can be the gateway to an even better life both personally and professionally, given my great listening skills, supportive attitude, the knack to build rapport and ability to encourage and empathize.
