Starting Life coaching

What is Life coaching?

Life coaching is a personalized support system that helps individuals clarify goals, develop action plans, and navigate challenges. Coaches employ effective communication and active listening to assist clients in overcoming obstacles, unlocking their potential, and achieving personal growth for a more fulfilling life.

How does Life coaching work?

In life coaching, our coaches utilize diverse therapeutic techniques that are tailored to individuals, including cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, mindfulness, and positive psychology approaches. They also utilize active listening and empathetic communication to provide a supportive space for you to explore and achieve personal goals and overcome challenges, fostering personal growth and clarity.

Is Life coaching conducted in person or online?

Life coaching with our therapists in Alpharetta, GA is conducted both in person and virtually via online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does Life coaching last?

The number of life coaching sessions someone attends can differ based on the coach and the client's choices. How many sessions are needed and how often they occur often hinges on the client's objectives and the complexity of their concerns. Some clients might opt for a few sessions to tackle particular goals or issues, while others may decide on ongoing coaching sessions to work on personal growth and life enhancement over a more extended period of time. Thriveworks Alpharetta therapists work with clients to create goals and potential timelines for treatment.

Need more help deciding?

You have a recurring worry about getting sick and what would happen if you had to be in the hospital because of an illness. It weighs on your mind, and you worry about not being able to work. You are confused about what you should do to maintain your health, what your diet should be and how much exercise you should get.

Life Coaches work with their clients to identify what their concerns are and the ways they can resolve them, as well as find a plan and follow it to find success in their personal and work lives. A Life Coach works with people as a guide and actively listens to them as they work through issues.

Life Coaches at Thriveworks in Alpharetta, GA have experience in the many problems that hold people back from growing in their lives, working with them to provide motivation and feedback. For the past 10 years, Life Coaches at Thriveworks have worked with thousands of people to help them take inventory of their strengths, set goals and reach success.

Life Coaching in Alpharetta, GA Focuses on Goals to Reach Success

Suppose that while you slept tonight, a miracle occurred. When you wake up tomorrow, what are some of the things you would notice that would signify that life had gotten better? This is the type of question a Life Coach asks to find out what you really want in life and what your goals are. It is called a “Miracle Question,” and it is used to find out what is important to you.

At times, you may have wondered what you would change about your life. Or, maybe there is too much “noise” around you—the pressures of work, finances, family life, college—to really focus on what you really want. An experienced Life Coach at Thriveworks will work with you to uncover the reasons holding you back from succeeding at work, finding a healthy lifestyle and enjoying your leisure time.

Life Coaching for Issues that Prevent You from Succeeding

Life Coaches at Thriveworks will work with you to make a set of goals and strategies to achieve the success you seek. Many people want to find more equality in their leisure time and work life, learn how to be more comfortable and speak up at meetings in their professional life, overcome a difficulty they are undergoing and more.

Life Coaches will work with you in the following instances, as well as a variety of others.

1) You were assigned to a huge project at work, and it can make or break the promotion you want. This is a project that another individual was in charge of before leaving the company, and you were never part of the process. While you want to shine and show your supervisor that you are creative and responsible to take on challenging assignments, you feel alone and nearly “frozen” with fear. Where do you start? What if you fail miserably? What if everybody at the company sees you as incompetent?

A Life Coach will work with you to find out what issues hold you back from starting the project, as well as help you organize targets to reach your goal (the successful completion of the project) and act as a sounding board.

2) It seems like everyone else gets the promotion, big bonuses and breaks in life. You resent other people at work and the relationships in your life, because everybody else seems to be successful and happy. You feel bitter that life has treated you unfairly and nothing seems to go right for you.

A Life Coach will work with you to unearth the issues in your life
that make you feel unsuccessful, find ways to build professional and personal relationships that are healthy and determine if you can change tactics at your current job or find a new career to inspire and motivate you to achieve a happy and balanced life.

3) Every day, it’s the same old thing at the job. You work inputting data into a computer, and you feel like a robot. It’s a small company that doesn’t offer any room for growth, so you know you will be inputting data for the next 20 years. But, you don’t feel like you have any particular talents that would enable you to excel at another job. You stay at your job and feel it’s the best you are going to be able to do in your life. Besides, shouldn’t you just count your lucky stars that you have a job?

A Life Coach will work with you to find out where your strong points and gifts lie, make a plan to pursue another career—by taking college courses, joining a group like the local Chamber of Commerce or the Rotary Club where you can network with other businesspeople, or learning to speak up and ask for additional assignments and job growth at your current job—and pinpoint a goal to find happiness in your work life.

Select the Professionals with Credentials and Experience for Life Coaching: Thriveworks

It seems there are rules and regulations for just about everything you can think of these days. And, there’s a governing body that oversees every type of group. However, none of these things apply to Life Coaching—unbelievingly, this is one area that has no rules to adhere to. Anybody can claim to be a Life Coach.

In your search for a Life Coach, it is wise to be discerning of whom you choose, because you are being open with your private information and issues and want to be sure the individual you speak with can be trusted.

Thriveworks Life Coaches have the credentials and professional licenses to be effective. Contact Thriveworks in Alpharetta, GA at (770) 284-9252 to work with you to fine tune what stops you in your life and find your potential.
