Frequently Asked Questions About Life Coaching

One of my favourite definitions of life coaching comes from Julie Kennedy in her paper “A definition of coaching” where she says “Coaching” literally comes from an old Anglo-Saxon word for a carriage, which is something that takes you from where you are now to where you want to be. In a nutshell: Life Coaching is a vehicle to transport you from where you are now in your life to where you want to be. Life Coaching is all about having someone believe in you and encourage you, about getting valuable feedback, about seeing things from new perspectives and setting your sights on new horizons. Every successful athlete and performer today has a coach of some sort. A coach makes coaching available to anyone wanting to achieve their best, in any field. Coaching is not another ‘how to’ course. It is a powerful alliance between two people that produces exceptional results. (Results Coaching Systems, 1998)

A therapist is trained and licensed to work with diagnosable psychological conditions; a coach is not. People work with therapists to resolve psychological conditions that are rooted in the person’s past. People work with a coach to focus on their current life and create action plans to turn dreams into reality.
