Life coaching is the process of helping someone find the path between where they are now and where they want to be. A life coach is a type of wellness professional who counsels and encourages clients through personal or career challenges. Life coaches help clients clarify their goals, identify and overcome obstacles, and come up with strategies to achieve their desired outcomes. Life coaching is about looking forward, rather than looking into your past for solutions to problems.
