Coaching is a great starting point if you are interested in personal growth, and motivated to work towards what you want. Maybe you intuitively realize that you haven’t reached your full potential. Or maybe you have goals and ambition, but need help achieving clarity to move forward. Becoming the best version of you requires being engaged and having a perspective that allows you to see all choices and opportunities. Coaching gives you a chance to focus on your goals and can help you chart a course to where you want to be.

What is a Life Coach?
A life coach is a trained professional who can help you achieve your personal and professional goals. At Brain Basics, we provide encouragement, guidance, and support to help you overcome challenges, identify your strengths, and create a plan for success.
Individual coaching differs from therapy or counseling in that life coaches typically don’t delve into past traumas or deep-seated emotional issues. Our main concern is helping you move forward and achieve your goals. We’ll focus on gaining clarity around your specific agenda and will work on personal goal setting, and clearing road blocks if necessary. Coaching sessions are a great sounding board to assist with all things in life, including self-awareness, better communication, healthy conflict, time and stress management. The benefits commonly associated with coaching include an overall improvement in relationships, happiness and productivity, and a decrease in stress.
Life Coaching As a Tool For Growth
If you’re looking for someone to help you with personal or professional growth, develop strategies for achieving your goals, and improve your overall well-being, a life coach may be a good option for you.
What Can a Life Coach Help With?
- Goal setting and achievement: Life coaches can help you identify your values and aspirations, then develop a roadmap to achieve them. This could involve anything from career goals to personal development plans.
- Feeling stuck or unfulfilled: Do you feel like you’re going through the motions but not truly living? A life coach can help you gain clarity on what you want out of life and develop a plan to move forward.
- Low self-esteem or confidence: Life coaches can help you identify negative self-beliefs and limiting patterns that are holding you back. They can also help you develop strategies to build confidence and self-worth.

What Happens During a Typical Coaching Session?
Life coaching is collaborative. A coach will help you clarify your thoughts, but you set the agenda. A typical session will start with a question such as “What do you want to focus on today?” As you talk, your coach will ask questions to help you delve deeper into your goals or challenges. The coach will ask powerful questions to help you gain clarity, identify roadblocks, and explore different perspectives. We may use coaching tools and techniques to facilitate self-discovery and spark insights.
Once you have a clearer understanding of your situation, the coach will help you develop specific action steps to move forward. These action items should be specific, measurable, achievable, and have a set time-frame in which to accomplish them, to ensure they’re actionable and will lead you to progress. Your coach may also discuss accountability measures to help you stay on track.
Your life coach acts as a guide and sounding board, but ultimately, you are in charge of your progress. By taking an active role and committing to the action steps you develop, you can achieve lasting change and reach your full potential.
