When I talk with people about coaching I sometimes get a quizzical look. It is common to have a coach in athletics, no matter if the sport is a team or individual sport. A Personal Coach is a person who helps people live life fully. It may mean facing challenging obstacles that need to be overcome. It may mean envisioning the potential of a person's one and only life. It may mean gaining clarity to live from a deeper place of conviction. Cheryl Richardson, herself a Life Coach and author of Take Time for Your Life, refers to the role as a "personal trainer for the soul."
Coaching isn't therapy - which is about processing emotional history or diagnosing and treating mental health issues. Coaching is what Richardson calls, "action oriented, with a focus on a client's current life and plans for the future."
How could a personal coach help train your soul?
