WHAT IS LIFE Coaching?
Life Coaching is a set of proven tools that can be applied in various
situations, helping people with all aspects of their life. It can address human
development, relationships, spirituality, health, and professional success.

What makes a person happy, healthy and successful? Everyone’s answer


is unique. We all have different values and beliefs about what we want to
achieve, how we will achieve it, and how we feel about success in general. As
a life coach, you will work with clients via regular coaching sessions.

These can be face-to-face, over the phone or via the Internet utilizing
software such as Skype. During initial meetings, you will prioritize
strategies for success, and gain insight into their temperament, needs,
and communication style. You will be instrumental to your client’s success,
helping them to understand their vision, set priorities and develop an action
plan.
