Andre Agassi has a coach. So does Gwyneth Paltrow. Why do these 'stars' need a coach? It isn't about fixing their game; but about being the best they can be. Coaching can be beneficial no matter who you are.
Life coaching is a professional partnership between a qualified coach and a willing client. The only role of this partnership is to help the client achieve extraordinary results.
In coaching, the client chooses the focus. The coach listens, contributes, observes and questions. A coach fights for freedom -- freedom from circumstances that the client does not want or freedom to choose what they do want.
Through the coaching process, the client thinks bigger, opens up possibilities and takes action. In the end, coaching is about helping people be happy.
