Why work with a Life Coach?
Coaching has traditionally been used by top business
executives and entrepreneurs, performers, and
athletes but recently, due to a convergence of
events in our society, life coaching has become
more practical for the regular person who wants
to achieve more balance and personal satisfaction
in their life. Today, there is a growing popularity
for coaching because people are seeking more meaningful
employment and relationships. There are a growing
number of self-employed workers who are seeking
structure and connectedness. There is a lack of
community that exists in neighborhoods across
the country while there is also a growing interest
in self-discovery or personal growth and development.
Life Coaches stimulate and guide positive and
effective change.

What is the role of a Life Coach?
My role as a Life Coach is to help my clients
to see where they are in life, encourage them
to think about where they would like to be, and
assist them with bridging the gap between the
two in order to achieve success.
I do this by providing structure, guidance,
encouragement, support, and strategy in a safe
and confidential environment.
When was Life Coaching embraced as
a profession?
Life Coaching began around 20 years ago, in the
early 1980s, when therapist and other counseling
professionals realized that people who were fit
and well wanted personal support in their everyday
lives. These clients had no mental or physical
problems but realized that they too could benefit
from having a professional to guide them.
