A life coach helps clients clarify personal or professional goals and develop plans to achieve them, using active listening and structured goal-setting techniques rather than clinical therapy. Many hold a coaching certification (such as from the ICF) and rely on strong client relationship management to sustain ongoing coaching engagements, often working independently or through coaching platforms. The role suits empathetic, communicative individuals who enjoy guiding others through change, and clients range from executives to people navigating career or life transitions.
