Life Coaching is merely another ruse to seperate stupid people from their money. Big in america and gladly not here. Fake chirpiness and polianna thinking are not required here thanks!

I am sorry you have had this experience of a Life Coach.

Life Coaching is about taking you from where you are now to where you want to be. Giving you the tools to achieve your Goals and aspirations. Life Coaches do not tell you how to run your life.

There are many different areas to Life coaching unlike friends, who can indeed offer invaluable help and a good shoulder to cry on, Life coaches
offer an unbiased view. They are trained in listening skills.

People from all walks of Life are turning to Life coaches. Each Life coach will specialize in a different area and you should do your research to find the Life coach for you. Sorry you had such a negative experience.
