A life coach comes alongside a person to help them through their challenges to move forward with confidence in the midst of change.

Coaching is not for those who need therapy to overcome disruptive painful pasts, but is for relatively well-adjusted people to build vision and move forward toward the future. It's NOT about healing. It IS about growing and change. The best coaching is done by listening, asking questions and appropriately responding.
