So, What exactly is Life Coaching, and what's all the interest and excitement about?

Life Coaching is the process of assisting and empowering a person, organisation or team, through a structured and professional process, to achieve their goals and objectives.

It may help you to understand life coaching if you think about the analogy of a sports coach. Sports people have been using coaches to assist them attain and maintain peak performance for decades. Sporting coaches motivate, inspire and guide their clients to achieve seemingly super human results.

Take the example of one of our own sporting hero's Ian Thorpe. Ian is required to continually perform at the highest level against the best in the world. Obviously he has extraordinary natural ability. But one of the greatest assets to his success is his coach. Obviously Ian's coach is not as good a swimmer as Ian! So what exactly does Ian's coach teach him if it's not to swim? His coach is a powerful ally that motivates and guides him and keeps him continuously accountable to his goals.

For over 12 years now, people have recognised the value of the coach-client relationship and have utilised it to achieve extraordinary results in their personal and professional lives, businesses and corporations.

Life Coaching is a professional process that supports clients choose new perspectives and establish new beliefs about what is possible in their lives. It also calls on them to identify and build on their strengths, acknowledge weakness and focus on what's working in their lives. A Coach is an ally that works with their client to establish better goals; inspires them to achieve more; empowers them with the practical and philosophical tools to do so; motivates them to sustain focus and steers them towards success.

Can you be a Life Coach?

Coaches today come from all sorts of professional and personal backgrounds. Heath, Education, Business, Finance, Management, Marketing, Sales and Administration just to name a few.

If you're a person who people instinctively come to for help, support and guidance you're probably already 'coaching' at a certain level.

You now may wish to take these 'natural' leadership and communication skills and develop them into a structure to 'coach' people professionally.

People become professional coaches for many reasons. Some wish to pursue a life long passion of helping and supporting others. Some wish to expand and formalize skills they've acquired over a life of success in business, sales or marketing and turn these skills into a rewarding self-employment opportunity. Others would like to enhance their chosen careers with specific skills in coaching to give themselves great options for career advancement in the future. And there are also a growing number of parents wishing to take on coaching as a way of further developing the careers and life choices of their children, and to be more effective role models and leaders to their family.

Whilst coaches charge vastly different fee levels for their services (usually depending on their experience, specialty and confidence), as a guide, most private clients pay between $200 and $500 per month to their coaches.

Depending on your expertise and the outcome required, businesses will pay between $1000 and $5000 a month. Elite coaches with specialized skills also negotiate performance payments which can see them earning well over $250,000 per year.
