I have been contemplating to start blogging for a while now.  Today I finally decided to just do it.  But you might wonder why do I have this need to blog?   Well, I would like to assist parents understand why there is a big need for life coaching in their children's lives.  I often wonder how would my life have turned out had I had  life coach as a child, now that I have one.

Do you ever ask yourself why executives get executive coaching or adults hire the services of the life coach?  Those reasons are the same reasons our kids or teens need a life coach.

what is life coaching you may wonder? Life coaching is a partnership between the coach and the client working together to create goals and strategies to meet those goals and keep the momentum in getting to those goals.

Life coaching is different from therapy, counselling and consulting.

Coaching is about the client being in control of their journey.  They create their own plan on where they want to be in their lives.  Coaching boils down to active listening.

So, how will coaching help our youth?  They are equipped with skills to be able to develop a growth mnidset.  Be open to learning new skills.  They are taught skills to be able to handle fear, move past their mistakes, manage change and accept failure as part of  a bigger picture in life.  Kids and teens are given skills to develop a soaring self-esteem and self-confidence.  We take them through visualisation and goal setting.

I hope this blog will give you an idea as a parent as to why you should give your child a gift of a life coach.  I am available to answer all your questions relating to why you should hire a life coach for your children and how to help the cope with whatever challenges they might be going through.

Leave your questions or comment in the comments section and I will respond to them.
