Who is a Life Coach?
The life coach definition is someone professionally trained to help you maximize your full potential and reach your desired results. They are like a supportive friend and a trusted adviser rolled into one. They’re someone who will push you to identify your goals, hold you accountable and provide encouragement throughout your journey to become a better version of yourself.
Life coaches complete extensive training under the supervisory of the International Coach Federation(ICF) that teaches them how to ask the right questions, communicate effectively and get to the heart of your needs and desires in life.

What does a Life Coach do?
A life coach encourages and coach clients on a range of professional and personal issues. Life coaching is distinct from giving advice, consulting, counselling, mentoring and administering therapy. You hire a coach to help you with specific professional projects, personal goals and transitions.
A coach helps you grow by analyzing your current situation, identifying and other potential challenges and obstacles you face and devising a custom plan of action designed to help you achieve specific outcomes in your life.
The relationship between a client and their life coach is more like a creative partnership than a one-way street. From your first meeting, you will:
- Identify, clarify and create a vision for what you want.
- Use your coach’s expertise to modify goals as needed.
- Encourage self-discovery and growth.
- Nurture and evoke strategies and a plan of action based on what fits best with your goals, personality and vision
- Foster accountability to increase productivity.

How does life coaching works?
Now that we know the answer to the question “What is a life coach?” let’s get into more detail about what exactly you can expect. Life coaching typically works in a specific, structured format, although your coach will ultimately work with you to create a custom action plan.
First, you will work with your life coach to define your vision. Your coach will ask you questions like:
- What is it that truly drives you?
- What’s at the basis of your goals?
- What negative things have you been telling yourself?
- How have these patterns gotten in your way and how can you move past them?
After answering that question, you’ll work alongside your coach to identify barriers and limiting beliefs that have been holding you back. Finally, you and your coach will set challenging, but achievable, goals. Your coach will ensure that you are not settling for limited goals or being too negative as you assess your position by helping you calibrate your long- and short-term goals against your core values.
Assessing your current position helps you and your life coach measure your progress and identify current and potential obstacles.
- You and your coach will review your resources and all courses of action available to you in order to create a plan of action.
- You’ll then decide which specific steps you will take and when you will take them.
- You will prepare for potential obstacles and decide how to cope with them.
- At this time, you will ensure that each step supports your end goals, while your coach will help you stay on track and monitor your progress.
- If your plan needs modification at any point, your coach will help you with this as well, which will empower you to stay committed.
