What is Life Coaching? According to Dr. Gary Collins in Christian Coaching "Coaching is the art and practice of guiding a person or group from where they are toward the greater competence and fulfillment that they desire." It is about looking forward and it is about helping people: * Discover a life purpose * Map a clearer vision for the future * Develop a mission statement * Find and articulate clear values * Learn to manage change effectively * Appraise performance * Get out of a rut * Build self-confidence * Gain the courage to take risks * Nurture a closer walk with God * Strengthen communication skills
