Lifestyle/business coaching is a service for people who seek guidance in achieving personal and professional goals.
Coaching depends on the coach actively employing three important qualities: listening, observing, and empathizing with the client.
The job of the coach is to provide a safe, caring environment where the client can explore their feelings, perceptions and options.
In business coaching the coach must be tuned into the client and ask powerful questions.
Questions that help to make the client stop and consider the answer that is right for them.
Knowing what questions to ask and when to ask them the coach can redirect the client's thoughts and inspire action that will lead the client towards their goals.
The client must be prepared to do the work required to meet their goals.
In a business coaching relationship it is the client's responsibility to do what it takes to succeed and the dedication to do what it takes to reach their goals.
The coach will not be doing it for them.
Coaching is not consulting or counseling.
Consulting is when a client is looking for an expert opinion on how to do a particular job.
For example, if you want someone to help you set up a blog or website you'd hire a consultant and they would be able to give you expert information.
Counseling and coaching are similar.
However, counseling tends to be for people who are looking for emotional and psychological assistance from a professionally trained mental health counselor.
Business/lifestyle coaching is for those who are seeking to achieve tangible external goals in their business and/or personal life.
They may be looking at a career change or leaving a job to start their own home based business.

They are hiring someone to keep them accountable and committed to moving towards their goals.
