What is life coaching?

Life coaching is an open, honest conversation between a coach and a client. During this process, the coach moves the client forward to a place, where they want to be. It is done by self-examination and taking steps to achieve a particular result. The coach facilitates the whole process by asking questions, adopting effective methods and giving feedback. As a result of the coaching process, the client recognises their starting point, what objections they have to meet, and what mental obstacles they are going to encounter. Hence, the client has clarity about what specific decision to make, and steps to attain the goal.

When does transformation occur?

The life coach contributes to the client's change while supporting the client in achieving their aspirations. The major change happens on a deeper level where the client experiences shift in the way they see themselves, the world they live in and the people they interact with them. Therefore, transformation occurs when self-limiting beliefs or perceptions are identified, challenged by questioning the truth of them and replaced by a new one that is more empowering. In this way, the client is going through the transformation in a new direction to an entirely different level. It can be compared to a caterpillar that suddenly transforms into a butterfly. The butterfly cannot get back to its previous form.
