Life Coach

About

Life Coaches guide people who are confused on what to do in their lives. Primarily acting as a guide or sounding board rather than consultant or advisor, they support goal-setting, personal growth, and behavior modification in their clients. Some coaches focus on health and wellness, others on career or relationships, and other coaches work across a full range of topics. As many people's lives become more complex, the coaching industry is currently experiencing strong growth.
