What is a Life Coach?

Sometimes, we receive the question, “What is a life coach?” from a visitor to our website. Life coaching is unregulated, and many people on the internet declare themselves life coaches. However, the life coaching industry has developed its own set of guidelines for certification. Some life coaches who are certified may not have been well trained. Some have their own agenda, pushing a political view or religion. Some are intentionally coaching to push people away from their faith.

It is important to answer the question honestly, and we can only do that by talking about what makes our Crucible Coaches certified to be proper life coaches. The answers here will guide you as you select someone who is the right fit for your life coaching journey to love yourself more.

Crucible Life Coaches: Highly Experienced Life Professionals

What is a life coach certified by Crucible? It is a person who has completed extensive training to help clients get unstuck. They receive training in the difference between advice-giving and coaching. They understand when a client might need to see a medical or mental health professional and are comfortable making such referrals. They keep goal setting and decision-making with the client instead of bending the client toward the goal they are most comfortable coaching toward.

We believe that each client has within them the answers to the questions they are seeking. Instead of telling clients what to do, we process their decision-making to help them find the way forward. Instead of directing the way they guide the client’s path toward their goals. Crucible coaches provide accountability and help clients step into responsibility for creating the lives of their true heart’s desires.

Crucible life coaches are trained in the highly effective techniques and processes that Crucible has helped over 7,700 people change over the past twenty-five years.
