Let's talk about what a Life Coach is and what they do.
‘Life coaches aid their clients in improving their lives'
A coach helps you grow by analysing your current situation, discover your own strengths and abilities, identifies your limiting beliefs (and other obstacles) and then devising a custom made action plan to help you achieve what you set out to do.
A coach will empower you and provide you with a toolkit of teachings to face challenges and overcome barriers. They won’t tell you what do to; they will use techniques to help you uncover the answers yourself.
You would hire a life coach to help you with specific professional, personal goals and transitions.
A life coach is a trained professional who aims to help and guide you to create, meet and exceed personal and professional goals.
What is NLP?
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is thought to be one of the most effective and accessible self-help methods to come from modern psychology.
NLP is a psychological approach that involves analysing strategies used by successful individuals and applying them to reach a personal goal. It relates thoughts, language, and patterns of behaviour learned through experience to specific outcomes.
Life coaches use NLP techniques to help 'reprogramme' clients' patterns of thinking and behaving. NLP works on the basis of assessing a client's perception of the world and adapting our behaviour and reactions to enable us to live a happy, desired life.
