This coming August, I will be a certified life coach with a certification from ICF (International Coach Federation).
So with that and with my current knowledge on Coaching, I thought about making a series where I talk a bit about coaching and tools are such. I cant go into 100% details with some of this stuff, since that will break my contract I have with the education center.
But lets start out easy!

What is Life Coaching?

Coaching is about helping others to figure out what they want and what prevents them to achieve it, also help people to get the that stage in a honest, effective and empathic way.

Coaching is:

• To listen actively.
• To help motivation people achieving their goal from within.
• A talk targeting the goal with all of the thoughts and emotions which comes up during this procress.
• Based on the Coach asking the question and the Client is acting upon these questions and realizations.
• To motivate and support. A Coach will never define the goal, the Client will.
• To get the Client to act on set goal or get them to accept not achieving set goal.

Coaching is not:

• Giving advice.
• Be a mentor.
• "Fixing" a Client.
• Interpreting what the Client is saying.
• Believing you know what the Client needs to do.

We also have a manual to which Questions to ask and such, mainly because they have been tested and they work. You can make up your own question as you go future into the education, but the questions we got, works.

That is what a coaching is and isn't. When you get out of the coaching role, you can ofcause do some of these things it all depends on the situations.

I wouldn't mind being a mentor for a Teen with ADHD. I wouldn't be his/hers Coach, just the mentor.
