If you wonder who needs a life coach, the answer is straightforward: Anyone who wants to make positive changes in their life can benefit from working with a life coach.

Here are some examples of people who may find working with a life coach particularly helpful:

1 - People who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unfulfilled

If you feel like you're not making progress towards your goals, you’re simply drowning in life’s busyness or you're not living the life you want, a life coach can help you identify what's holding you back and create a plan to move forward.

2 - People who are going through a transition

Whether you're starting a new job, ending a relationship, or moving to a new city, life coaching can help you navigate the challenges and uncertainties that come with major life changes.

3 - People who want to improve their relationships

Life coaching can help individuals improve their communication skills, set healthy boundaries*, and develop more fulfilling relationships with others. That can be friendships, familial, romantic or work relationships.

4 - Entrepreneurs & business owners

If you're starting a business or growing an existing one, a life coach can help you develop the skills and mindset you need to weather the ups and downs of running a business and succeed.

5 - Students, recent graduates & employees

Life coaching can help students, recent graduates and employees clarify their goals, develop a plan for their future, and navigate the challenges of transitioning from school to the workforce and up the career ladder.

To back this up: In the 2009 ICF Global Coaching Study [PDF], 80% of coaching clients say that they improved their self-esteem or self-confidence thanks to coaching, and 73% say that coaching helps them improve their relationships, communication skills (72%), interpersonal skills (71%), work performance (70%), work/life balance (67%), and wellness (63%).

Generally, anyone who wants to improve their life in some way can benefit from working with a life coach. The coaching relationship provides you with support, guidance, and accountability to help you achieve your goals and reach your full potential.If you think you could benefit from working with a life coach, I offer a free, no-strings consult for you to explore working with me.
