Life coaching? No thanks

Posted by: Reece  /  Category: General

Life coaching. The very phrase makes my skin crawl. Some person telling you how successful they are and how you can be like them, pumped up with some ridiculous jargon to make it sound like they actually know something.

OK, maybe you can tell I don’t approve of it much. The reasons behind this are simple – they’re just there to take your money. That is what makes them successful. They’re one step away from ambulance chasers in my book.

I believe that in order to really pump yourself up and increase your self esteem (which is what these people are trying to do most of the time) you actually have to realise that you are in complete control of it. Some guy standing there telling you how you either suck or rule at whatever is useless. As I’ve mentioned countless times, improvement is a result of your time and effort. Simply offloading this onto someone else who you pay money to is cheating, plain and simple!

Some life coaches like to think of themselves as ‘life planners’. They acknowledge (mostly) that they know nothing about psychology, so simply try to organise someone else’s life in return for money. All well and good, but what are you paying for? Something you are too lazy to do yourself? Isn’t the whole point of self improvement to actually improve yourself, and not just do what someone else tells you to do?

Give me your thoughts.
