A large majority of people have no idea what a coach or what life coaching is all about. In this post I have listed the most popular frequently asked questions.
I myself chose to become a life coach because I found it a very empowering and positive approach. Other approaches can often keep you in the ‘victim story’ of you narrative.
Coaching is responsibility and accountability orientated. It is ideal for go-getters who are aware they have challenges in their lives but want to change it.
So, here are your 6 most frequently asked questions
What is the role of a life coach?
A successful life coach will help you relearn your motivations and understand what your drivers are in life.
We’re not just a “coach” in the most basic sense of the word. A life coach is an unbiased mentor, friend, accountability partner; someone who will be there for you through your most challenging times; guide you through and help you to see things differently, refine your approach, and achieve your dreams.
You may be set in your ways. Unless you have an unbiased person to point things out to you; you may fail to notice the things that are holding you back.
Is it worth getting a life coach?
Many people think that they don’t need help and that they can do everything by themselves. The truth is that it always helps to have support. Especially the support of an experienced professional who can help you get to where you want to be. Life coaches can help you figure out what you want to do with your life. Find your purpose; and more importantly, help you figure out how to go about making a plan toward achieving your goals.
What is the difference between a life coach and a therapist?
A Life Coach does not diagnose medical illnesses.
We are change activators that will give you the tools that you need to make the positive changes you desire in your life. We will also help you become more productive. Our focus is on making you the victor in your life’s journey.
However, it may be beneficial to see both. That depends solely on your needs and what feels like a good fit for you personally.
What should I expect from a life coach?
We provide life coaching services that will help you achieve positive results and move forward; and this is all done via different online platforms – or in person if you live close enough.
Through evaluating and goal setting, then working towards them and tweaking them along your path after gaining new insights; we will support you to live your very best life!

Specialties
Extraordinary Goal Setting
When you have a vision for your life, it makes everything easier – from goal setting, prioritising actions and day-to-day activities – to making tough decisions. And, when your goals align with that vision – and what’s most important to you – then you become really motivated!
We’ll take your overarching vision and then chunk that vision down into smaller, more meaningful goals for you to move forward.
Balance and Self-Care
Do you feel burnt-out? Or are you suffering from fatigue, stress, anxiety or depression?
Sadly life balance and self-care are often seen as ‘soft’ requirements. Something high achievers feel that they don’t or shouldn’t need. We get the message that we should just be able to soldier on through illness and stress. We’ve been told that if we take a holiday, go on a break, have a bubble bath or sleep-in on Sundays that all will be well again. After all, a successful person should have this under control, isn’t it? Too much self-care is seen as a sign of weakness or perhaps selfish or indulgent.
We know this isn’t the case. Taking time for yourself; treating yourself; is not selfish. In fact, it is an absolute necessity!
General Life Coaching
Life doesn’t always play out as perfectly as you may like it to. Sometimes you may lose yourself in the daily stress and demands of life and, before you know it; weeks, months, or even years have passed without you taking stock of yourself and where your life is.
When you realise this, then you need to take time for some deep self-reflection. The next step is to take action to make the changes that you need for renewing yourself and your life.
If you find yourself having a strong sense of being stuck, imbalanced or not being able to move forward with your life; then it is definitely time to this life coaching program!
Career Coaching

Productivity and Time Management
This program is perfect if you are trying to manage multiple competing issues and demands that are placed on you and your time.
We’ll help you to become more productive and reduce your stress through better time, action and priority management. We will also introduce key time management concepts to you and give you the tools and techniques to get you focused on the important stuff. We’ll also raise your awareness as to how you spend your time and get in your own way.
Self-Discovery
To be truly happy, you need to do more than achieve your goals. You need to know who you are – and express that in the world. This is called being authentic! To achieve success in life – with the most ease – you need to align with your values and who you are.
We’ll give you tools to help you get to know yourself better and express yourself more authentically in the world, so that you can use your newfound knowledge about yourself in coaching to bring focus; clarity and depth to your actions; habits; brainstorming; decision making; visioning and goal setting. And you’ll learn to align your life, priorities and actions with who you truly are.
