What is the difference between life coaching and teaching or educating?
Teaching is about introducing knowledge and skills in preparation for some unknown use later. Education is typically about introducing knowledge and skills about specific values and about what’s socially acceptable. Unfortunately, this usually means that education is externally motivated for many people. Life coaching, on the other hand, is about gaining control over your mind, body and soul right now! It deals with the things that are important to you, not to somebody else. This makes life coaching incredibly effective, because you can see positive results right away and this encourages you to continue, so you get better and better results. At the same time, your confidence grows, until you feel you can handle just about anything, and then you’re happy.
