Types of people that hire a life coach People who have goals or dreams and want to achieve them faster and easier than they ever thought possible. People who have challenges, stress, and pain that they want support in overcoming. People who want to improve their life, improve their skills, have someone help them transcend the blind-spots. A life coach provides: Synergy, a person who will both witness and remember, reflect, and who can contribute ideas or a different perspective that you cannot (or will not) see yourself. Change does take time and requires regular, consistent intervals over a period of time, typically spread over months. The greater the person's curiosity, willingness, openness, and action, the faster the results. Vision, someone to notice when you're playing it too small, or safe, and help you to envision and acknowledge desires you might not have dared to imagine for yourself on your own. Encouragement, when resistance comes up, which it WILL – to have somebody to help you heal the fears and anxieties that are making it feel like such a big, dark brick wall... Objectivity, reassurance when your saboteurs (inner voice) is doing the freak-out dance (which is common when any variety of fear is present). Our saboteurs don't really like anything to change or be new. Having a coach on your team, there for when things become difficult is like having a good lawyer in your back pocket.
