Life Coaching FAQs
What is a life coach?
Life coaches help their clients identify a specific life or career goal, define the steps needed to achieve this goal and create a plan of action. Life coaches will also help clients identify strengths, weaknesses and obstacles that will impact their plan of action.
What does a life coach do?
Most importantly, professional life coaching involves relationship building and trust. Life coaches must be able to forge a creative partnership with their clients to:
- Identify and create a plan for what the client wants
- Modify and build strategies to achieve a client’s goals
- Encourage self-discovery, self-awareness and growth
- Promote accountability and positive change
What’s the difference between a life coach and a therapist?
While therapists analyze a client’s past to help them understand their current behavior, life coaches identify obstacles that stop a client from achieving their goals and present strategies for getting past these obstacles.
What is the difference between coaching and counselling?
Like the difference between a life coach and a therapist, coaching is different than counseling because it focuses on goal setting, not mental health. Ultimately, both practices aim to help the client on a deeply personal level but take different approaches in doing so.
Why should life coaches get certified?
Training and certification help you stand out to clients. Credentialing organizations like the International Association of Professional Recovery Coaches (IAPRC) and International Coach Federation (ICF) follow a standard of ethics that clients expect.

Student Testimonial
Through the Landscape & Garden Design Certificate, I was able to cultivate the skills and best techniques necessary to properly design and install my own landscape and hardscape concepts. Moreover, I acquired a much more expansive knowledge of local resources, including the instructor’s extensive proprietary plant selection list for our East Tennessee growing zones, which truly made my dream garden outstanding.
