The International Coaching Federation defines
coaching as “partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.”
Coaching is a non-directive, person-centered, client-led experience. The client engages the coach as a supportive, non-judgmental accountability partner to facilitate the client’s expansion of awareness, understanding, clarity, and action around their self-directed goals or desired outcome.
According to the Youth Coaching Institute, the key distinction is to think of wellness as being on a continuum with the mid-point as 0, representing normal functioning. Negative numbers are dysfunctional and positive numbers are thriving. Therapy addresses those who identify as being dysfunctional or in crisis, with the goal of bringing clients back to functioning. Coaching takes “functional enough” and/or functional clients into positive numbers to thriving or excelling.
Life coaching is action-based. It’s practical ways to be happier where you are while also taking active steps toward the life you really want.
Unlike therapy, life coaching doesn’t dwell too much on the past but focuses on where you are now, and sets you up for a better future.
You have all you need to be healthy, happy, and successful. Life coaching focuses on your strengths and teaches you proven techniques to grow in confidence and knowledge about how to move forward.
