A life coach or life guide is described as someone who helps clients achieve their goals. However, a life coach is much more than that. Think of a life coach as a friendly, compassionate best friend and wise but firm mentor who has been put together in one. A life coach is someone who helps others make progress in their lives to achieve greater fulfillment. Life coaches help their clients improve their relationships, careers and their daily lives.

 

People often confuse coaching with therapy, but these are very different disciplines. Let's take a deeper look at the key differences between these two disciplines. Coaches work with ordinary, adapted, and functioning people. This does not mean that these individuals are perfect, at all, but they function quite well in their daily lives.

 

Therapists, on the other hand, work with people who are dysfunctional in some way and then help them become functional again. Someone who is looking for coaching, on the other hand, wants to achieve a higher level of achievement or functioning in their own life. These individuals want to grow and become better versions of themselves.
