English Club on Life Coaching with Dima S.

You don’t require any specific education or certification for this particular Club’s meeting. But if you are in a quest to succeed with your personal or professional goals, this discussion will capture you.   

Topic: Life Coaching
Fact of the Day: “Everybody’s life is either a warning or an example. You’ve got to decide what you’re gonna be and you have to draw a line in the sand.” —Tony Robbins

Definition: The term 'coaching' itself comes from the Anglo-Saxon word for 'carriage', which is a means of transporting something from one place to another. A life coach therefore, is an individual who guides another individual from where they are in life, to where they want to be in life. Coaches do not give advice – instead they use various techniques to facilitate the process of an individual finding the best path for themselves.

On August 14, 2012, the term Life Coach appeared for the first time in Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary.
