Life Coaching - Can you explain! What is your Specialty Niche?

So today while i was explaining one of my Yoga Client that i am WIP as a Life Coach , i was bounced back with volleys of questions!!!

What is Life Coaching, How does it work, Do you work with Corporates, Individuals, How does one benefit out of working with a Coach etc etc

And thus i thought let me write down about Life Coaching.

My Specialty Niche is Health & Wellness, Transitions, Parenting, Personal Empowerment!

What is Coaching?

Coaching is a practical, forward looking way to gain clarity on what the client believes to be true for his or her life.

Life Coaching helps the client look at where they are now as opposed to where they would like to be and helps to bridge the gap.

Coaching is about getting the very best out of someone enabling them to make decisions that will improve their life.

What Coaching is not ?

Coaching is not a Therapy or Counseling. Coaching is not giving solutions; it is a process of developing a plan of action and reaching the goals within the defined timeframe.

How Coaching Sessions Operate?

Life coaching can be done on phone or face to face also. A coaching session is scheduled weekly for 60 minutes.
Coaching is time bound from 3 months to 6 months.

Client and Coach Relationship

Is based on trust, integrity.

A sense of openness is there between coach and client.

It is based on commitments and confidentiality.

Is the Client Ready for Coaching?

Client goes through an Interview and Assessment in the initial stage to understand if the client is ready to bring about the change.

The client is responsible for the results they are generating.

The client is accountable for the action items and commitments made for the progress.


Coaching Agreement:

An Agreement is signed between coach and client on all the terms acceptable between them to have the clarity before initiating the coaching sessions.


Benefits of Working with a Coach:

Coaching has been proven to work when the client is willing to grow and when there is an obvious gap between where the client is and where he or she wants to be. With a coach the client will:

1.    Make broader actions
Once you understand and create your ideal goal, you are much more likely to take actions to reach it.

2.    Have a balanced life
I will work with you to help assist you in a plan that will get your needs met by establishing a personal foundation.

3.    Make financial freedom
Money. We have to have it. Chances are you know that you can make more money. I will work with you to assist you in ways to look at advancing your income, pay off old bills, set up a financial plan, and help design a strategy for you to earn more from your professional efforts in the future.

4.    Reach for more and more
When anyone has a partner they trust, they will always reach for more because they can afford to.

5.    Make better decisions for yourself and your business
Every single client of mine is smart. Yet, they still use me. Why, because everyone can use a sounding board, share ideas with someone who understands them and is subjective enough to want a lot for them. Just in talking about your options with someone who can listen and often provide valuable feedback helps issues to become crystal clear. You will always get honest, constructive views.

6.    Have a lot more sustainable energy
When you are happy, productive and free from tolerations and problems, you are always going to feel better!

Specialty Niche:

Certified coach has a specialty niche. It could be Health & Fitness, Spirituality, Relationships, Parenting, Personal Empowerment, Stress Management, Transition Coaching, Business, Entrepreneurs.

Choosing a market niche is about deciding who you wish to serve as a clientele.
