Life Coaches Help With Tough Decisions
People at a crossroads in their lives turn to them for help
August 22, 2011
This is the kind of coach one usually thinks about, but even the most unathletic people are seeking coaching about ordinary life as well.
You’ve probably heard about sports coaches, fitness coaches, voice and music teachers, career counselors, psychiatrists and other specialists who teach skills and help us cope with daily life.
But there’s a rapidly growing kind of professional who does a little bit of everything. She or he is called a “life coach.” People who are at crossroads in their lives - and corporations that want to give certain employees a career boost - are turning to them for help.
The idea that one person’s success story can change other people’s lives for the better goes back at least to the 1930s and best-selling books with titles such as "Think and Grow Rich." Dale Carnegie’s famous self-improvement program “How to Win Friends and Influence People” came along soon thereafter.
But this new breed of life coaches includes more than enthusiastic speakers or writers. They use their own experiences in business, sports, military service, or psychotherapy to help others make critical life decisions.
They often give their approach a slogan, such as “energy coaching” or “fearless living” or “working yourself happy.”
