"Coaching is about performing at your best through the individual and private assistance of someone who will challenge, stimulate and guide you to keep growing."
by Gerard O'Donovan
Life Coaching originated in the USA over 10 years ago but has more recently gained public recognition in Britain where it is enjoying phenomenal growth as more and more people discover the advantages for themselves. Life Coaching is sweeping the country invading so many aspects of corporate and personal life that you almost wonder how we ever managed before.
People who seek out coaches are frequently not sure what they want out of life and coaches help them identify and then put in place the steps needed to realise their dreams. This can be a highly exhilarating experience both for the client and the coach as obstacles disappear and goals are achieved.
The Coaching profession is on the rise, and you don't need any particular background to be a good coach, just the willingness to help other people and get a kick out of it.
Life coaching is a highly rewarding career, and the skills of a coach are now actively sought after as a 'qualification' by companies wanting well-trained, skilled personnel, supervisory customer care or management staff.
"Coaches act as a mirror; helping people to work out what they want, what they are good at, what they are bad at, where and how they can improve."
