Life coaching - what is it?!

from Mission Imperfect: navigating life with coaches Kirsty and Kathryn · host Kirsty Brunker and Kathryn Ball

This week, we realise it has taken us until series 2 to talk explicitly about life coaching!We bust some myths around what life coaching is and isn't, so you can decide if it is of interest, or isn't - either answer is fine!3 myths we discuss this week:1) Coaching is like counselling, therapy or mentoring (or is the poor relation of those)2) A coach will tell me what to do / how to sort my life out!3) Coaching is for people who need something fixing (possibly including themselves) or for when something has gone wrong. And we break with tradition to ask you 2 questions this week:a) Can you see if life coaching may be of benefit to you right now, or not?b) If you were offered a free coaching session right now, what would you choose to focus on?Find us here: Kathryn: www.kbmindfulcoaching.com Kirsty: www.coachingbykirsty.co.uk And on social media here: Kathryn on LinkedIn - www.linkedin.com/in/kathryneball  Kirsty on Instagram - www.instagram.com/coachingbykirsty/ Resourceshttps://www.kbmindfulcoaching.com/post/counselling-coaching-and-mentoring-what-s-the-differencehttps://www.kbmindfulcoaching.com/post/a-coaching-archway
