The Growing Popularity Of Life Coaches

Life coaching is a relatively new job position whose description is fairly open ended

. Those involved in the profession can either be credentialed or non-credentials therapists that help individuals manage and balance all aspects of their life in order to maintain health and happiness. Life coaches often offer services to help individuals learn how to better handle and manage their relationships, careers, finances, and families. Essentially, their job is to motivate and inspire people to think positively and make good decisions.

In most cases, a life coach is a normal, everyday person who has a successful life. Some have had course training, while others have not. They typically meet their clients in one-on-one sessions or in group meetings; however, they do not usually provide therapy for those who are depressed or have other mental conditions. Rather, they are usually most sought after by those who have busy or stressful lives and want to maintain better control and peace of mind.

Life coaching has grown in popularity over the last decade or so and is becoming more of a reputable position even though it is largely unregulated. Some conjecture that the reason life coaching has become so popular is because people are attracted to the idea of receiving help and guidance without having to see a psychologist. Life coaches are not for those with serious problems, but for the everyday person who just wants a little help and motivation. In the United States alone there are about 10,000 practicing life coaches who offer a variety of services. While some provide guidance for many areas of life, others specialize in offering specific guidance for issues such as relationships, parenting, retirement, and so on.

Although all demographics appear to be involved in the life-coaching phenomenon to some degree, studies have shown that men are particularly attracted to life coaches because they can receive help without the stigma often associated with therapy. Teenagers are another popular target of life coaches as many parents want their children to learn how to set goals and manage their lives at a young age.

Life coaching is a new profession that is beginning to be taken more seriously by society. Those who want life guidance can now attain it without receiving a diagnosis that they may not have or seeing a psychotherapist who they may not need. Although some life coaches are more credentialed and qualified than others and the profession as a whole is largely unregulated, life-coaching services promise to continue growing in popularity.
