It is not a should or must to get a Life Coach. Most people choose to engage a Life Coach because they want to:

• Improve the relationship in their personal and professional life, one that is supportive, nurturing, growing. 
• Release the mental and emotional blockages that stops them from achieving their goals faster and easier, so they can have more time left to live their dreams. 
• Save decades of trial and error finding the right way to move forward, so they can get ahead of their peers. 
• Increase productivity and performance level, allowing them to take bigger risk and solve bigger problems, which open doors to further promotion and increased earning power. 

You should NOT get a life coach if:

• You can achieve your goals faster and further by yourself. 
• You know with crystal clear clarity and certainty what you must do to achieve your goals. 
• You are already at your best self. 
• You don’t like to have an accountability partner because you are consistently driven and motivated. 
• You can see your own blind-spot and do not need a 3rd party perspective.
• You are absolutely happy with where you are now and you believe it can’t get any better.

Before I started life coaching in Singapore, I used to have this believe that a Life Coach must be someone whose life is perfect with no flaws. Otherwise, how can they have the right to tell people what to do? 

I had that believe because I thought that is what a Life Coach does, telling people what to do in their life. I was far from being right. 

I’ve now realised that, a good life coach is one who believe that you are the expert of your life, and you have all of the answers within you. All you need, is someone who can help to pull them out of you, to discover the resources you have yet to realise within you, and to point out the blindspot that you have failed to see.

My role as a Life Coach can be viewed like an anchor that connects and aligns the key areas of life, be it career, business, personal and professional relationship or personal development. 

It is also common for clients who are facing a setback or who are going through a life transition to work with me.

As a result, enabling you to raise your impact and earning power, feel fulfilled and happier doing what matters to you.

Most coaches choose different professional title to attract their target audience. I happen to be highly skilled in life coaching, which requires me to deal with career roadblocks, personal and professional relationship, and self confidence to name a few.  

Whether you choose to work with a life coach, career coach, relationship coach, life transition coach or NLP coach, it’s important to have a conversation with the coach and ask them the kind of client problems they deal with.
