Life Coaches are caring individuals who provide another person with support, counsel, friendship, reinforcement, and a constructive example. A Life Coach is a trusted and faithful friend who listens, supports, and guides a Returning Citizen. A good Life Coach listens for hopes and dreams about how things could be better and picks up on the passions that appear to inspire the person, but also the obstacles and anchors that pull the person down.
Life coaching is a structured and trusting relationship that brings people together with caring individuals who offer guidance, support, and encouragement aimed at developing the competence and character of the Returning Citizen. In this relationship, one person (the Life Coach) comes alongside another person (the Returning Citizen) helping him to reach his potential by enhancing self-worth and developing specific knowledge and skills to increase the chance of succeeding in life.
