“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life, and you will call it fate.” ~C.G. Jung
There are many tools for self-development, and in these times of self-help, motivational books and talks, one must not forget to mention Life Coaches. One of your greatest allies on the journey to bettering one’s self.
When I’m asked about my profession, the immediate follow-up questions are, ‘what exactly does a life coach do and who needs one?’
Let’s start with getting familiar with the work of a life coach. A life coach's job is to help you move from where you are to where you want to be in various areas of your life. It is a professional relationship between coach and client where the coach helps the client better understand their values and belief system and how these tie to everyday behavioural patterns. A coach enables you to create and maintain practices that support your goals.
