WHAT DOES A COACH DO?
A life coach definition can vary depending on what your specific goals are. They encourage and counsel clients on a range of professional and personal issues. Life coaching is distinct from giving advice, consulting, counseling, mentoring, and administering therapy. You would hire a coach to help you grow by analyzing your current situation, identifying limiting beliefs and other potential challenges and obstacles you face, and devising a custom plan of action designed to help you achieve specific outcomes in your life.
The relationship between a client and their lifestyle coach is a creative partnership that seeks to:
​
-
Identify and create a vision for what the client wants
-
Use coach’s expertise to modify goals as needed
-
Encourage client’s self-discovery and growth
-
Nurture and evoke a plan of action based on the client’s goals
-
Foster client accountability to increase productivity
These aspects of the process all work together to allow the client to maximize his or her potential, and research shows that coaching and training is a far more effective combination than training alone. In fact, training alone can increase productivity by 22.4%, but when combined with weekly life coaching, productivity is boosted by 88%.​

TestimonialS
"Forrest is not only an incredible public speaker, business coach, and mentor, but he’s also a savvy entrepreneur. Our working relationship began when I became his client. As a new speaker at the time, I was asked to speak at a STEM event. He taught me tips on proper equipment, taking pictures, securing media waivers, camera angles, and lighting. When you work with Forrest, you’re getting all of him. That means impromptu business and financial coaching, mentoring, or whatever he believes will help you and your project be a success. I highly recommend his services...it will be one of the best business investments you’ll ever make." ​
