LIFE COACHING
Life coaching is a future-focused practice with the aim of helping clients determine and achieve personal goals. Life coaches select from among several methods to help clients set and reach goals. Life coaching has its roots in executive coaching, which itself drew on techniques developed in
management consulting and leadership training. Life coaching also draws inspiration from disciplines including
sociology,
psychology,
positive adult development, career counseling,
mentoring and other types of
counseling. The coach may apply
mentoring, values assessment,
behavior modeling,
goal-setting and other techniques in helping their clients.
