Life Coach

Background

A life coach helps people identify their goals and work towards achieving them in their personal, professional, or health lives. They listen to clients, ask questions to help them understand what they want, and create action plans to help them make positive changes. Life coaches might work one-on-one with clients, in groups, or online, supporting them through challenges and celebrating their progress.
