What is a Life Coach?
A life coach is someone who can help you improve your life, feel better, and achieve your goals. Life Coaching is future focused while other interventions, like therapy, are past focused.
You may be wondering, however, what exactly a life coach does and what you should expect during a coaching session. Or maybe you’re curious about how to become a life coach.
Why Would You Need A Life Coach?
Coaching helps you identify what’s going on in your own brain so you make the changes needed to achieve your goals.
When you feel unable to get the results you want or feel frustrated with your life, coaching is the answer. A life coach can help you recognize where you’re stuck and show you exactly what needs to change when you can’t see it yourself.
A life coach is like a best friend who will call you out when you’re showing up in a way you don’t want to, give you tough love, and believe in you way before you may be able to. They help you create the life you’ve always wanted.
What Can A Life Coach Help With?
You can be coached on absolutely anything. At The Life Coach School, we teach and our coaches use a coaching model called The Self Coaching Model (also known as the CTFAR Model), created by Brooke Castillo. This framework shows you the exact steps you need to take to make a permanent change. The Model is proof that solving your problem doesn’t have to be hard. In fact, it lays the solution out right in front of you.
When you decide to work with a life coach, you’ll be amazed at how quickly you get unstuck and start changing your life. You’ll start to understand your brain and why you’re doing what you do without having to beat yourself up to make any kind of change. You’ll discover your true potential and begin to notice amazing results. It will completely change your life.
What To Expect During Your Session
You’ll be amazed at the clarity, insight, and help you can get from working through your problems on a coaching call. Whether you’re being coached directly or listening to others being coached in a group setting, listening to the application of the Model will help you experience life-changing breakthroughs.
You can bring an infinite number of topics to a coaching session. You may seek coaching when you are ready to overcome an obstacles you are facing or you're ready to uplevel your life.

At The Life Coach School, we believe that everyone can benefit from being a student of their own mind—through having a life coach and by coaching ourselves.
We are not taught to understand and use our minds to their full capacity.
Coaching and self-coaching are the keys to unlocking our hidden potential and taking control of our lives. If you'd like to learn more about self coaching and thought work, refer to our Self Coaching Model Guide.
