What is Life Coaching?
Life Coaches help people maximize their life for success today and for all tomorrow’s! Coaches honor the client as the expert in his or her life and work and believe every client is creative, resourceful, and whole (spiritual, emotional, and physical). Standing on this foundation, the coach’s responsibility is to empower and encourage clients. Our desire is to improve the client’s outlook on work and life, while improving their leadership skills and unlocking their potential in Christ. We motivate our clients to strengthen their spiritual core, like strengthening their physical core; to be firmly planted, connected in Christ, and rooted in God’s Word. When you realize and believe in your identification with Christ; that you were crucified, buried, and raised with Christ, your life will be healthier, stronger, and victorious!
