Q and A

What is Life Coaching?

Life Coaching is a co-active partnership between a coach and client wherein a coach helps  expand their client’s self awareness, focusing on individual potential their client possess, enabling and empowering them to move forward positively, realising their goals and aspirations.

What is a Life Coach?

A Life Coach provides you with the utmost support, encouragement and motivation as you focus on your unique life challenges and goals. A coach is a trusted confidante, an experienced listener, skilled challenger and independent sounding board that helps you create and define the successes you want to achieve in life.

Why should I choose an ICF Credentialed Coach?

By choosing an ICF Credentialed Coach you know your coach has received coach-specific training, achieved a designated number of experience hours and have been coached by a mentor coach.

According to the ICF Global Coaching Study conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers, 52 percent of coaches report that their coaching clients expect the coach they hire to be credentialed.

By engaging an ICF Credentialed Coach you know you are working with a professional coach who adheres to the core competencies of their professional body and has a high coaching knowledge and skill level.

How do I select the best Coach for me?

Firstly, do your homework. Look at a variety of Coach Websites and get a feel for the different services offered and what you require. Speak with at least two to three coaches to see who you connect with best and feel most comfortable with. Ask a coach about their level of coach specific training, their skill level and experience with clients. They should be able to provide you with an extensive list of testimonials and client references so that you can gauge their client success.
