What Is a Life Coach? How Life Coaching Works and How it Can Benefit You

February 24, 2022

InnerU

Think about it: you’ve probably heard the term “life coaching” before. Maybe it was in correlation with celebrities, athletes, or corporate executives. Maybe you have a friend or family member who is familiar with coaching and has told you all about it. But what is a life coach, exactly?

At Handel Group®, a life coach is an expert at helping humans make their big, bold, out of their own box dreams come true. A life coach acts as a leader and guide for your personal and professional life, teaching you how to solve the problems that are undermining your success and happiness. We look at your dreams and goals for every area of your life. Then we assess your current reality. Wherever there is the biggest gap between what you deeply want and what you currently have, that’s how we know where to start with each client.

The best part is that personal life coaching is for everyone. Read more to find out what a life coach is, and all the benefits of working with a Handel Group life coach.

How Does Life Coaching Work?

The main principle we teach our clients in The Handel Method® is Personal Integrity®, which is your ability to keep a promise to yourself.

Not just to fulfill your commitments to everybody else on planet Earth, but to really keep a promise to yourself. It’s about getting you to be true to your highest ideals for yourself and your big dreams by taking all the right, bold actions that you wish you were taking, but you might not be taking right now. You have no idea why you’re not taking them, but we know. We also know how to change that behavior, and that’s what we teach in The Handel Method.

We offer both one-on-one coaching with one of our rigorously trained life coaches, and more do-it-yourself style online life coaching programs through our platform Inner.U®.

Our life coaches personally walk you through The Handel Method process. They work with you, hand in hand, to achieve your personal goals and reach your dreams. If you have the means financially and are ready to achieve your goals, this is the best option for you.

Our online life coaching offering, Inner.U, includes specific programs for life, love, education, and business coaching. It includes the entire Method that is also taught at MIT, Stanford School of Business, and Yale, among others, for you to work through at your own pace.

You connect with buddies and work through the modules together. You also get a free personal coaching session and access to a complimentary weekly masterclass with your lifetime membership.

What Can a Life Coach Do For You?

We work on your life in any of these 12 areas:
Self – how you feel about yourself, your personality traits and habits.
Body – including your health, weight, fitness level, and appearance.
Love – finding it (if you’re looking), staying in it, relationships, dating, and marriage.
Career – professional development and executive coaching.
Money – negotiating a pay raise, getting out of debt, investing in your dreams.
Time – how to rock and rule your schedule to get what you want out of every day.
Home – do you love where you live? Does it feel like an oasis? Does it represent who you are in a way that you’re proud of?
Family – relationships with your parents, kids, step-family, and in-laws.
Friends – developing and assessing friendships, respecting and loving your group.
Fun & Adventure – travel, learning new things, enjoying life.
Community & Contribution – are you participating out in the world in the way you want to? Making as big of a contribution as you’re here to?
Spirituality – whatever that means for you; God, spirit, Mother Earth, religion, the Universe.

A life coach helps you create your dreams in each area of your life, and then shows you how to reach them.

How Do I Know If Life Coaching Is For Me?

You have to need it. You have to want to break through something and believe that something more is possible for you in your life. If you’re bored or have some level of dissatisfaction, that would be a good reason to get a coach.

You don’t have to necessarily fix something. You don’t have to be totally unhappy, but if you are unhappy in even one area of your life, definitely get a coach.

For example, say you have a goal to start your own business, make a million bucks, sell it and retire young. You’d hire us as your coach to help you break away from your hamster wheel job and make it happen.

Or maybe your marriage is fine, but you stopped having regular sex 18 months ago and now all you communicate about is your kids’ schedules. You’d bring us in to help identify the root cause of the issues, help you have hard conversations, fall back in love, and reignite the fire in the bedroom.

The reasons people hire life coaches are as varied as the clients themselves. A life coach can help anyone who needs a change and is ready to make it.

How Long Does it Take to Work?

You will feel a shift immediately.

In our methodology, by simply doing the homework that everyone has to do before their first session, you will never be the same again.

As a guide, in our online life coaching program, Inner.U, it should take around two months to see major results in your life with your free masterclass. That’s right; just eight weeks to see major results.

For personal coaching clients, you probably won’t even recognize yourself in four months. Every session pretty much rocks people’s world if you’re doing all of your work. You are pushing yourself out of your comfort zone in so many ways and it feels energizing and insightful.

What Is the Difference Between a Life Coach and a Therapist?

Our coaches will make you do things that enable you to achieve your goals and reach your dreams. We help you to establish your own personal definition of success, identify your goals and arm you with the tools to make it happen. You can read more about the difference here.

Full Disclosure

We do not go around looking at other people’s methods or techniques, so we can’t speak for anyone else.

Everything here is about The Handel Method, our life coaching program, and methodology that has been developed over 20 years and secured proven results for thousands of humans.

It continues to evolve, too. As method creator and co-founder, Lauren Zander, discovers more life hacks as well as more intel on the dark side of humanity, she innovates to create new ways to shine a light on it.

Then, the coaches get trained in those techniques to help you achieve your personal goals and start living a wildly fulfilling life in all 12 areas.

Sounds pretty great, right?
