What Is Life Coaching?
Life coaching is a dynamic conversation between the "coach" and the "coachee" on a topic, situation, challenge or goal the client wishes to develop. The pace, purpose and drive of the conversation is determined by the client. The coach guides the coachee to reveal hidden potential which lights up new insights that delivers inspiring personal or professional development goals.

Who is life coaching NOT for?
One of the key benefits of life coaching is in the ability overcome obstacles and expand possibilities for the client. Coaching is definitely not for the naysayers who have no desire to overcome obstacles. We all know naysayers don't we? You will hear naysayers say things like:
But I cant afford it ...
But I don't have time …
But I’m too young
But it wont work for me
But I already tried it once
But I'm too old
I just wish I could change
You may have spotted the naysayers have huge "buts" that stop in their tracks. They just cant seem to get that "but" through the door when opportunity knocks. Those people won't have a life coach. It's just not for them. So they remain stuck.
We have some fantastic five star life coaching reviews from genuine clients who will say that Tony Healer Coaching really worked for them. Some of them even came to us with some pretty big "buts ... " They started out with challenges like:
"I'd really like to get a new job but I'm no good at interviews"
"I'd really like to lose weight but I know anything about nutrition"
"I'd really like to meet someone but I'm too shy"
"I'd really like to start a business but I don't know where to start"
"I'd be a better boss than them but I just can't pass the exams"
"I should give up smoking but I don't have the willpower"
The key difference for our clients is they stopped simply wishing their life away. They were the ones who got off their buts and took action to overcome obstacles and challenging periods in their life. And yes, they went on to achieve incredible things. Tony Healer is not for you if you don't want to achieve any more than you are currently.
Life coaching is all about fostering positive and lasting personal change

You may have heard the phrase “success breeds success.” As you build momentum your results will continue to compound and expand over time.

Your results will be yours forever and if you put in the effort they will compound over time. The power of life coaching is in the moments of discovery, or flashes of inspiration that open doors to resources you never you had.

What is the difference between life coaching and mentoring?
Life coaching and mentoring have a place in your personal journey depending on where you are.
Life coaching sets the vision and goal whilst mentoring develops skills and knowledge to achieve them.
Let's say you wanted to learn life coaching skills and become a coach. You would start with why. What would you do with those skills what kind of life coaching practice would you want to create. How would your life be when you achieve this? That is vision.
Next you would select a coach training school and enrol. Throughout your time you would learn conversation models and practice your technique. A mentor would help you hone your knowledge and skills to help you understand how a session works.
So a mentor can help you gain specific knowledge, skills and understanding whereas a coach will help you maximise your potential.
What is the difference between life coaching and other talking therapy?
Therapy is used to treat or diagnose specific conditions. Severe emotional trauma, depression and anxiety may need professional medical support which where therapy may be useful. In order to offer therapy you must hold a professional license and be medically accredited. A psychologist can provide diagnosis, counselling and psychological therapeutic interventions for mental health issues. A psychiatrist can additionally prescribe medicine to combat severe mental health challenges.
Certain talking therapy disciplines are closely related to coaching.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for instance. CBT is a licensed tool which is available for specific neurological interventions. If you consider what CBT means:
Cognitive - understanding how the mind works
Behavioural - resulting behaviours
Therapy - talking and guiding to positive outcomes.
Compare that with Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP):
Neuro - How the mind processes sensory stimulus
Linguistic - using language to elicit change
Programming - how we respond to sensory stimulus
NLP and life coaching are not licensed. A Life coach therefore will not provide professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment for medical conditions. Your doctor probably wouldn't refer you to a life coach for depression or anxiety related disorders, but that doesn't mean coaching wouldn't be effective. You can decide that one.
The Question Is Not Which Life Changing Coaching Program Will You Choose, But What Will You Become?
The real question you should be asking yourself right now is not whether or not you should get a life coach.
A better question would be at what level do you want to achieve within a specific area or aspect of your life? Will a coach help you reach your highest potential or optimise your results here? The answer is a resounding "Yes!". The biggest thing holding you back right now isn't how much something costs, how long it takes to see results, or how hard you have to work. It isn't even lack of belief in the process. The real obstacle holding you back right now is your commitment to doing the things that need to be done.
You will only discover what life coaching is for you when you defy the odd's, set a new standard and step up. Life changing results follow life changing decisions. Make yours now to make a change your future self will thank you for.
To Your Success!
