The Top 5 Reasons to Work With a Life Coach: What Life Coaching Is and Why It Matters

What Is Life Coaching? And Why Does It Matter?

Life coaching is a partnership to help you achieve your goals, break free from old patterns, and live a life of clarity and purpose. Whether you’re thriving and looking to excel or in the middle of a personal or family crisis, life coaching can offer the tools, perspective, and support you need.

Why Coaches Matter in Our Greatest Achievements

When I look back on my biggest accomplishments, two key factors stand out:

  • My willingness to grow.
  • The presence of a coach, mentor, or teacher.

From my high school wrestling coach, who taught me to have a “fighting heart,” to horse trainers like Rick Steed, coaching has been how I made the most significant accomplishments in my life. Quitting alcohol after 23 years, running a half marathon at 55, and building an exceptional marriage, happened because I sought out skilled coaches.

The Two Types of Clients I Coach

1. Parents and Teens in Crisis:

These families feel stuck in emotional chaos. Whether it’s defiance, withdrawal, sibling conflict, or deeper challenges like substance use or identity struggles, these parents are overwhelmed and burned out. Life coaching helps them break through frustration and fear, creating peace and connection in their homes.

2. Parents Seeking Excellence:

These are parents whose relationships with their teens are stable but who want to take things to the next level. They’re focused on giving their children the tools for success and emotional resilience while strengthening their bond as a family.

5 Reasons to Work With a Life Coach

1. Cut Through the Chaos

Life can feel noisy and overwhelming, especially in crisis. A coach helps you cut through the distractions, identify what truly matters, and focus on meaningful solutions.

2. Break Generational Patterns

Many of us unknowingly repeat habits from our upbringing that don’t serve us. Life coaching helps uncover and shift those patterns, creating healthier dynamics for you and your family.

3. Master Communication

Good communication is the foundation of healthy relationships. Coaching helps both parents and teens learn to express themselves clearly, listen actively, and resolve conflicts effectively.

4. Build Confidence

I’ve spent years studying confidence, and I know how important it is for both parents and teens. Coaching provides tools to develop lasting self-confidence.

5. Achieve Peace of Mind

Parenting is tough, and the stress can feel overwhelming. Coaching helps you navigate challenges with clarity and grace, leaving you with a sense of calm and control.

The Power of Willingness and Coaching

Coaching isn’t about someone else telling you how to live. It’s about having someone in your corner who genuinely cares about your success and helps you uncover your best solutions. Just like a sports coach offers a perspective you can’t see from within the game, a life coach provides insights and guidance that are game-changing.

The 3-Day Turnaround: Immediate Results for Families in Crisis

For families in crisis, I occasionally offer an intensive option called the 3-DayTurnaround. This involves spending three days on-site with your family, assessing the situation, leading meetings, and creating actionable systems for healing and change. It’s a powerful reset for those in urgent need.

Life Coaching: An Affordable and Flexible Solution

Coaching isn’t just for the wealthy or those with endless free time. It’s tailored to your needs, budget, and schedule. Whether you’re looking to resolve a crisis or simply set your family up for success, life coaching offers unmatched value.

Make a Promise. Keep It.

One of the most powerful things I get to witness in my work is people improving their lives. Not in a flashy, overnight way. But in a real way. More peace. More clarity. Better relationships. Less internal chaos. Life does not suddenly become easy. It does not turn into constant happiness. But the entire experience improves. That improvement starts in one place most people overlook. The relationship you have with yourself.

Speak Like You Matter

Most people underestimate the power of words. Not because they are unintelligent. Because negative language is normal. It is common. It is socially accepted. It slips out of our mouths, runs through our minds, and we barely notice it. But words mean things.

The Strength to Love

People come to me unhappy. Not because they lack intelligence. Not because they lack effort. Most of the time, they are exhausted. They are carrying sadness, resentment, disappointment, and that constant tension of living with someone who is not doing what they want them to do.

Belief Creation Part 3: How to Believe What You Want

Every result in your life is being driven by something deeper than effort, discipline, or desire. You do what you do and avoid what you avoid because of what you believe is true about yourself. Not what you say out loud. Not what you hope is true. What you actually believe.

The Declaration of Significance

Here’s something most people don’t understand: If you don’t intentionally decide what you believe about your value, your mind will decide for you. And the default setting is inadequacy.

Belief Creation Part 2: Why Value Beliefs Run Your Life

When someone struggles to change them, it is rarely because they lack discipline, tools, or information. It is usually because changing the behavior would violate a deeper belief about what they deserve or who they are allowed to be. Until that deeper belief is addressed, the system resists change. Not because the person is broken. Because the system is loyal.
