The Importance of developing through Life Coaching
For me personally it is valuable and moving to see the change of the people I work with and support. I appreciate the trust they show in me and help me develop personally and professionally and understand human nature. Inspiration is what motivates them people to become better and not "should" and "must".
What is Life Coaching: The life coaching now it is a global social phenomenon. Coaching is a science that is connected to other scientific approaches such as positive psychology, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, counseling (Carl Rogers).
Successful counseling clearly consists of an organized and permissive relationship, which creates the conditions for the client to gain self-awareness to the extent that he can take positive steps in the direction he has chosen (Luizou 1999).
Coaching is therefore a scientifically documented and structured approach, which is safe for humans and effective, as long as it is done by a properly trained professional coach. It is aimed at people without serious psychological problems.
The coach helps people to activate and utilize their positive psychological capital, so that they can meet their needs and realize what they desire.
When we say psychological capital, we mean the mental reserves that each person has to overcome difficulties and disappointments. People who have positive psychological capital have self-esteem, faith in themselves, positivity, vision and easily establish goals. Certainly, this capital by itself is not enough and needs to be utilized and invested.
Ires Yossi in 2008 in an article of great value to our industry, clearly cheats on what coaching is:
A systematic structured process, designed to facilitate emotional, cognitive and behavioral change. Coaching is personalized, i.e. adapted to the needs and personality of the client.

What a Life Coach Should Do
The coach, for his part, needs to have basic training with scientific standards, from experienced professionals.
But above all, a good coach needs to be empathetic and approach his client as a whole. Empathy is a skill is a skill that exists in the human mind and is cultivated. The life coach enters the client's world by understanding their world, their beliefs, their behavior patterns, reading their body language. This is all information that it records in order to understand the person it is talking to.
The coach encourages his client to talk, to open up and he is there with understanding, active listening to listen. The coach supports the coachee in improving personal abilities, performance, learning and personal development.
Coaching focuses on positive emotions, without this meaning that it excludes negative emotions.
It is reasonable and human that clients in coaching sessions experience anxiety, insecurity, discomfort, about their future and about the changes they are about to make. After all, every transition to another situation, whether professional or personal, creates anxiety.
For change to be more smooth, it needs to be based on our own internal motivations and much less on the opinions of others and the expectations they may have of us.
In coaching, they are trained to move from point A to point B, removing obstacles and interferences. It is very important to be able to solve problems, without creating new ones. Point A is the present, the psychological and social now, which is needed to recognize with composure, while point B is the future we want to create and this leads us, evolves us, changes us and matures us as people.
The life coach uses the power of commitment to activate the people who trust him towards change, on a holistic basis, in order to conquer harmony and balance in their lives.

The Goals in a Life Coaching Session
In a coaching-counseling session, goals are set with a joint coach-coachee collaboration. Goal setting means that the consultant and client define specific goals for everything the client wants and a plan for solving difficulties that may arise.
- The client knows what to expect from the sessions. In this structured and detailed way
- unrealistic goals (eg to never make a mistake again) are avoided.
- Goal setting helps the client decide if they wish to continue the sessions or if they just want to get information about something that is going on but still need time to think about whether to continue the sessions.
- Goal setting itself demonstrates the potential for change and helps the client focus on solutions and future possibilities, rather than the problems themselves.
