A \u2018coach\u2019; I mean the word is presumptuous. I\u2019m saying life coach, but really, a life coach helps people to get clear on what they do want in life. Many people you know never tell you what they don\u2019t want in life, and you might hear people around you complain. A coach\u2019s job is to help someone actually clarify goals they\u2019d love to achieve in their life. The second thing a coach does is work with them once a week &#8211; usually on the phone, sometimes face to face &#8211; to actually make sure those goals get achieved.<\/p>\n<p>Ingrid: When you say, \u2018work out what people want to do in their life\u2019, I wouldn\u2019t even know where to start half the time.<\/p>\n<p>David: You know, that often happens where people say, \u2018I don\u2019t know what I want.\u2019 so one of the things I do with a client, is to help them go through a goal-finding process. We might start with what you don\u2019t want. So we\u2019ll look at what you\u2019re putting up with in your life &#8211; what you\u2019re tolerating, what don\u2019t you like. Then we can start looking at different areas like relationships, health, career, finance, and start setting some goals that would really feel good to you to achieve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The following is an excerpt of an interview with David in Top Coaching Techniques.
