What is a life coach?
I have been asked many times what a life coach is. Today it appears “life coach” is a catch all term that has become overrun with individuals filling various roles.
A life coach is one that is able to help individuals define their gifts and talents. Everyone has gifts or talents. These areas of life or tasks that we perform with near excellent execution on a regular basis with ease and pleasure. They are functions that we each can improve upon however, these innate qualities are part of our characteristics from birth. We generally know what gifts we have, yet because of negative messages (both internal and external) or lack of validation, these gifts go unnoticed or fail to be utilized appropriately.
When we honor those gifts they light the path to our purpose here.
Much like an athletic coach notices the strengths of the athlete and offers ways to bring out the best in them as they perform in their chosen field, so does a life coach work in conjunction with an individual. No one can determine what your gifts are without your input. The process of coaching allows an individual to get the benefit of the coach’s guidance and match it with their abilities to create the optimum performance.
God has connected each of us and made us creatures that desire to love and be loved. When we honor how our Creator made us, we walk in purpose, walk in love and operate in strength.
My role as a life coach is to guide you, as we work together to operate in strength.
God has gifted me with the ability (the gift) of assisting others to identify and honor their gifts. I started successfully doing this long before the current wave of life coaching came along. It is how I honor my gift and, the Creator that gifted me. Thereby loving God and my neighbor as myself.
