I am not too familiar with life coaching so I do not think I should say too much about the 2nd question. Apologies there.
Have you (or anyone else) ever engaged a life coach? If so, please give me some more information/ details; I'd really appreciate it. |
No worries.
A life coach is basically paying someone to be your friend. No not really!
But they basically help you get clear on your own personal goals and how to achieve them. They are not therapists or consultants. According to the wikipedia, life coaching is a derivative of executive coaching which drew on techniques developed for management coaching and leadership training. (Hmm, I always thought leadership was a natural talent. Though I can be cultivated...)
What you're doing here seems to be a subset of Life Coaching IMHO.
