What is Life Coaching?
The personal Life Coach and client relationship is built on trust, encouragement, acceptance, and non-judgment.  Through discussions and observations, the Life Coach helps to identify client’s goals and to formulate a plan that allows the achievement of these goals.  Life Coaching focuses on here and now and is oriented towards future.  The plan that the Life Coach proposes is based on acquiring and using various skills that make the progress possible and measurable.  The common efforts are directed on creating the future that client desires.  Progressively, client overcomes the obstacles and problems, creates solutions, and gains a new perspective.
