You have a vision of your ideal life. Maybe you have always dreamed of being a successful entrepreneur, musician, corporate executive, or world traveler. But something is holding you back because you haven’t made it a reality yet. That is where a life coach comes in. Athletes hire coaches to push them to greatness in sports, and life coaches help their clients to find success and satisfaction from their job or lifestyle. However, unlike in sports, life and wellness coaches do not focus on changing behaviors, like correcting a wild throwing arm. According to the International Coach Federation (ICF), they develop their clients' overall strengths and abilities.

Is a Life Coach like a Counselor?
Life coaching is not counseling or consulting. Here are the differences:
A counselor is usually a therapy specialist that helps a person confront past issues that are holding them down. Counseling may result in medication prescriptions and/or a mental health diagnosis. The counselor is the expert.
A professional consultant is an expert in a particular field. A consultant will be hired when a certain job needs to be done and nobody in the company knows how to do it. Consultants often observe what is currently going on, then instructs and critiques the client. The consultant is the expert.
Life coaching is the practice of asking powerful questions then actively listening to the answers to help the client unlock the potential that is already inside them. Life coaches do not make mental health diagnoses, and they do not give advice unless absolutely necessary. And then it will only be a small amount of advise to help the client get un-stuck. In life coaching, the coachee is the expert.
