PHQWRUVKLS EXW LW·V D ELW PRUH IRUPDO /LIH

coaches are paid to help people identify and

achieve their goals.

People hire life coaches for any number of

reasons. Some people want help in a specific

area of life, such as career, family or health.

Others want to reduce stress or increase

happiness. Still others struggle with deciding how

to spend time. Life coaches can help with all of

these situations.

Life coaches ask questions that help clients

clarify what they want to focus on in life. They

also help identify beliefs or habits that stop

people from reaching their goals. They can

then help people break out of those bad habits.

And they provide emotional support and

encouragement.

Both mentors and life coaches offer experience

and wisdom that can help you make changes.

They can encourage and guide you as you journey

toward the things that are truly important.
