Myths v/s Truth in Life Coaching

Myth:

Life coaching is just paying for a friend to listen to you.

Truth:

I am a certified life coach. This means I am an expert in helping you live your personal best life. Everyone’s “personal best” is different, and, as a coach, I have the tools and resources for an empowering self-discovery process that goes far beyond what a conversation with a best friend can offer. Olympic athletes hire coaches — not because they aren’t capable — but because they need someone who can take an outside perspective and offer tools and resources.

Myth:

Life coaches only help those who are disappointed with their lives.

Truth:

There’s a reason successful business leaders, professionals, executives, entrepreneurs, and CEOs use the services of a life coach. They know they want to take their businesses to the next level, but they are looking for support and resources!

“Coaches have the ability to view things from afar — in what some call ‘helicopter vision’ — and to shed new light on difficult situations. Often they can act as a sounding board through tough decisions, help sharpen skills, and motivate. ” – CFO Magazine

Myth:

Life coaches only help those who aren’t able to help themselves.

Truth:

We are only able to help those who are willing to help themselves! Life coaches believe that it’s YOU who has the power! We see you as creative, resourceful, and whole, and we are there to provide the support and strategies as you discover how capable you truly are!

Myth:

Life coaching is overpriced, paid mentorship.

Truth:

We aren’t mentors AT ALL! We are not here to give you advice based on our own life experience or to tell you what to do. We coach to help raise awareness of your own capability and capacity for problem-solving and goal achievement.
