The Core Skills Of Life Coaching

1. Domestic Duties : Organization, Interior Decorating

"When a person's home, their living space, is messy, a person's whole life feels messy."

"An organized home helps one to lead an organized life."

2. Domestic Duties : Cooking
  • Humanist Life Coaches teach their clients how to cook healthy meals.
  • Cooking is something that Coach and Client do together, a bond as old as humanity itself.

3. Nutrition

  • Humanist Life Coaches are well versed in Nutrition.
  • Naturally this is beneficial for their clients.
4. Looking Good (beauty regimen, grooming routines, etc.)
  • Humanist Life Coaches know how to take care of skin, hair, and teeth.
  • Life Coaches are familiar with the best brands of beauty care products.
5. Fashion
  • Life Coaches know how to dress well.
  • Life Coaches go out with their clients clothes shopping.
6. Exercise
  • Life Coaches are workout buddies for their clients, providing encouragement and advice.
7. Social Skills
  • Life Coaches are wingmen/wingwomen for their clients , along with being social skills experts.
  • When it comes to Social Skills, there are only 2 requirements :
  1. Be Yourself
  2. Be Confident In Yourself
  • Life Coaching gives clients the tools to have confidence in themselves, and the back up and encouragement to be themselves.
8. Psychological Model / Approach : Development of Self-Confidence, Rooted In Knowing Oneself
  • Otherwise known as : The Psychology of Knowing Yourself
  • A Life Coaches approach to thinking about their clients is as people filled with unrealized potential.
  • The Life Coaching counseling stance is to act as a foil for the client to dig deep into themselves for greater and greater understanding of who they are.
  • The stance is accomplished in a manner akin to Socrates' dialectic method, but with an emphasis on simpatico (the Coach actually caring for, eventually perhaps loving, their clients) and clients finding questions which help to better understand themselves, not just asking questions for knowledge and intriguing mental exercise (Socrates thought emotions were a barrier to understanding).
