Life Coach vs. Leadership/Executive Coach:
A life coach generally works with an individual on a personal level. They may help clients understand personal goals and objectives and discover things holding them back in their effort to meet these goals and objectives. ultimately creating a life in alignment with their values. The life coach often helps clients find balance in their lives, build positive relationships and improve their outlook. Success in this coaching relationship is measured by the happiness and fulfillment of the client. The coaching agenda is not mixed with a business agenda; life coaching is all about the individual.
Life Coach vs. Therapist:
One of the most common misconceptions about life coaching is that it is therapy in disguise — or, worse yet, therapy from an unlicensed practitioner. In reality, life coaching is truly its own unique service designed to help ambitious achievers meet the outcomes that will bring them success and fulfillment. There are some big differences between life coaching and therapy. The primary difference in this context is that in life coaching we offer tools to help you move FORWARD in life. We do not offer focus on the childhood, past or previous situations, relationships or trauma. We instead focus on the NOW, and utilizing worksheets, journaling exercises, video chat and phone coaching .
Counseling vs. Life Coaching:
The similarities between professional counselor and life coach are a bit similar. The two are loosely connected because they share the same goal as a helping professional.
There is a large difference on how coaching and counseling are defined and what each profession offers.
Coaching advocates say they provide a specific service that helps a client work on their goals for the future and create a new life path. Many say counselors spend more time examining the past, looking for solutions, exploring emotional concerns and seeking a diagnosis.
Coaches and their clients work in a less structured environment, working as a team rather than setting up a “doctor-patient” relationship. They also spend majority of the sessions creating positive change, working on goals for their client’s future.
Also, as a coach we do not have laws governing our business, so we are much more free to use intuition and healing therapies in conjunction with your coaching.
