Life Coaching

What is life coaching?

Life coaching is a process whereby individuals are guided through the process of setting goals and formulating plans to work toward them. Life coaches are sometimes compared to athletic coaches, in the sense that they help their clients take their personal or professional lives to the next level.

It is believed that life coaching can increase productivity by over 80%. HHC Centre will pair you with a life coach who will both motivate you and hold you accountable. He or she will have the expertise to help you set goals that are challenging, but realistic. Our coaches are also able to look at your circumstances more objectively than you can, and this puts them in a position to offer you insights that you might otherwise miss.

 

What are the benefits?

Life coaching can benefit people from all walks of life, including entrepreneurs, managers, athletes, musicians, writers, stay-at-home parents and university students. We all have goals, be they personal or professional, and a life coach will help set you on the path to achieve them. Some examples of how life coaching can help include the following:

• Analyzing where your life is now, and where you want it to be
• Achieving and maintaining a work-life balance
• Identifying and addressing your obstacles to success
• Learning how to communicate effectively at home, at work and in your community
• Achieving financial security
• Advancing in your work, whether you are traditionally employed or self-employed
• Learning how to evaluate options and make decisions
• Clearing physical and mental clutter that may be holding you back
• Creating the time and opportunities to enjoy your life
• Getting through a stressful life event

 

What is the difference between life coaching and therapy?

Contrary to what many people believe, life coaching and therapy fulfil two very different needs. Therapists are trained to help their clients with mental health issues and traumas. Life coaches focus on the formulation and accomplishment of goals. For example, someone who has a prior history of abuse would benefit from the services of a therapist, while someone who feels that they have hit a roadblock in their business might consult a life coach. Where unresolved traumas are preventing you from achieving your personal or professional goals, you might choose to see both a therapist and a life coach.
