Sometimes it helps to have a trusted adult, other than a parent or teacher, help you figure out what you want, and determine how to achieve it. Having a life coach is like having the guidance and support that an adult could provide, but without having another authority figure in your life. In a coaching relationship you and your coach are equals. Your coach does not assume that she knows what is best for you. She can help you figure out what you want from life and how to make it happen! Mostly, she will listen, listen and listen some more!
