What Is Life Coaching? |
ZHOETIC Personal Development and Life Coaching is for everyone determined and willing to do what it takes to stabilize households, manage finances, achieve certain goals in life, overcome habits, or acquire certain skills to build a more satisfying future.
Our aim is to help people achieve greater joy and success in life no matter the challenges. We help our clients establish measurable goals, and create logical action plans with achievable steps. Every coaching experience employs interactive techniques to influence behavioral change and encourage motivation.
Each coaching tenure starts with a Pre-Coaching Session during which the client talks about their values, needs, and aspirations, and expectations. The coach and the client determine the objectives of the program and design an appropriate plan. Plans are intended to be short-term, however, contracts may be extended if necessary to reach individual goals. |

Core Concepts of Life Coaching
ONE
First, there must be a belief in the capacity for change and a motivation for change on the part of the client. Both the coach and the client must believe that change is possible for anyone who desires it and is willing to work at it. The underlying assumption is that people are creative, resourceful, and growth oriented. |
TWO
Secondly, development of an increase in the client’s self-awareness is crucial to the life coaching process. This includes being willing to acknowledge one’s current strengths and limitations so that realistic attainable goals may be set for the future. Likewise, increased self-awareness of values and hopes for the future is encouraged. |
THREE
A third core concept of life coaching is the importance of setting goals, followed by the client’s acceptance of accountability for reaching those goals. All life coaches facilitate the setting of goals by the client. With the coach’s help, a general statement of goals from the client becomes developed into specific measurable goals. |
What is the goal of Life Coaching?
The goal is to enable a you, the client, to reach your potential in any aspect of life. While the life coach asks questions to encourage self-awareness and thought, it is up to you to decide what changes you want in your life. Once the vision of the future is established, your Coach works with you to figure out how to effect those changes.
