A coach helps people achieve goals and change by pushing them outside their comfort zone. Coaching can help people deal with career changes like redundancy, change careers, and improve overall well-being. Key benefits include expanding thinking, focusing on what matters, and taking action to become more productive. A life coach acts as a sounding board for challenges and keeps clients accountable to achieving goals and overcoming limitations. Coaching focuses on designing the future, not analyzing the past like therapy or counseling.
