Here are our Top 7 skills and attributes that make a great Life Coach.
A Great Life Coach. . . .
Has a Growth Mindset
A good coach understands the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset and how it determines the difference between “ordinary” and “extraordinary”. They value personal growth and believe the world would be a better place if everyone had access to professional guidance to fulfill their potential.
Challenges You
A good coach will encourage you to develop curiosity about your belief systems and why you think the way you do. Sometimes we just need to get out of our own head and stop replaying the downloads from the past that keeps us stuck and trapped. Often limiting beliefs have been inherited trans-generationally but follow us through life restricting are choices. A good coach will push your personal development by helping you to re-program your limiting beliefs.
Helps You Develop Your Intuition
A good coach will have the skills that enable you to develop your gut intuition so you can make better decisions. There are somatic tools and particular modes of questioning that allow you to tap into your intuition at a profound level. A good coach will teach you the methods of improving your intuition so that you may trust your judgement and feel more confident in the choices you make.
Is Non-Judgemental
A good coach does not pass judgement and keeps sessions objective. They don’t give advice but rather give options and strategies so that you may make the right decisions for you. Rapport is essential and a great coach recognises that there is no room for opinions when it comes to the coaching relationship.
Has Good Observation Skills
A good coach is observant with the ability to home in on the blind spots that are causing roadblocks for you. They are adept at joining the dots and making sense of your story, your obstacles, and your vision.
Has Integrity
A good coaching relationship is built on trust and respect. A great Life coach has life skills and proven expertise in a certain area that gives them credibility. They are passionate about helping others because they also have had the experience of being coached and have trained in certain modalities that are close to their heart.
Good Communication Skills
The best Life Coach will be a good listener but instead of giving advice will offer strategies, formulas and evidence-based protocols that allow you to achieve your goals and dreams with more confidence and ease. Their way of communicating is concise and on point by asking the right questions and problem solving with you.
As the Life Coaching industry is unregulated it is advisable to seek a coaching program that offers a higher level of skill and training from their coaches and preferably one that uses evidence-based protocols.
