A Life Coach is a professional who provides counseling and assistance to their clients to help them solve whatever problem they may be facing. Their roles and responsibilities will be situational, depending on each client. Still, the main objective is to help enlighten and advise their clients about which steps to take to improve their current situation.  
  
Life Coaches will adapt their methodology for each client, and their roles are very goal-specific. It is common for Life Coaches to act as a source of encouragement and counseling for individuals for various issues. For example, someone may see a Life Coach if they seek more direction in life, be more confident, or want to change their career but are lacking direction. Life Coaches focus on the present situation and rarely allow their clients to focus too heavily on the past. They aim to help their clients achieve their goals by uncovering a custom solution that benefits them with the best and most encouraging outcomes.
