A sports team has a coach. A musician has a private instructor. An intern has a mentor. A life coach fills a similar role. The coach's role is to help the client reach their self-defined goals.
Coaching is action-oriented. It will help you to define specific and practical steps. Coaching is a partnership between client and coach with the sole purpose of enhancing the client's life in a very specific process.
Coaching is done over the phone at an agreed appointment time. Between sessions, the client will have well defined action steps to work on. Every coaching session is conducted in a relaxed informal atmosphere focusing on the client's stated goals.
"A coach is someone who gets you to do what you don't want to do, so you can be who you want to be."
-Coach Tom Landry, Football Hall of Fame
