Is Coaching For Me?
5 questions & answers to help you decide
1. What is life coaching, and how is it different from therapy or mentoring?
Life coaching is a collaborative, forward-focused relationship that helps you clarify goals, identify obstacles, and create actionable plans to reach your desired outcomes. Unlike therapy, which often deals with healing past trauma, coaching is about progress and potential. And while mentoring usually involves someone giving advice based on experience, a coach empowers you to discover your own solutions.
2. How do I know if I need a life coach?
If you're feeling stuck, unfulfilled, or unclear about your next steps in life, a coach can help. Maybe you have big goals but keep procrastinating—or you're in a season of transition and want clarity and support. If you’re ready to grow but need structure, accountability, or a fresh perspective, life coaching could be exactly what you need.
3. What kinds of goals or challenges can a life coach help with?
Life coaches support a wide range of goals—from career changes, improving relationships, or building confidence, to creating better routines or navigating life after a major shift. Coaching helps align your values with your actions so you can move forward with intention and purpose.
4. Will life coaching really make a difference?
That depends on you. Coaching works best when you're committed to your own growth. A coach won’t do the work for you—but they will walk beside you, challenge your thinking, hold you accountable, and celebrate your progress. Most people find coaching accelerates their breakthroughs and builds momentum.
5. How do I choose the right coach for me?
Look for a coach whose values, style, and life experience align with yours. You should feel safe, seen, and supported—but also stretched. Many coaches offer a complimentary session—take advantage of it! The right coach will help you feel heard, believed in, and ready to move forward.
