                     How to be a life skills coach
The art of life skills coaching involves assisting both people and 
groups in acquiring the abilities necessary to lead more fruitful 
lives. It can be applied to those who are currently making progress 
toward their objectives or to those who might need some 
assistance getting started in particular areas
Know yourself.
To be a more successful coach in kenya  , be aware of what makes you tick, what 
hinders your productivity and pleasure, and how to work with those things. 
When deciding on coaching or other aspects of your life, as with any skill set, 
the first step is to fully know yourself and take the time to reflect on your life 
experiences. You only need a basic understanding of yourself; you don't need 
years of experience!
Be accessible
Yet in truth, anyone who wants to study may become a coach if they 
have the motivation. But, the reality is that anyone who has the desire 
to study can become a coach.. This may entail being accessible during 
their convenient times and, on occasion, even providing open office 
hours or teleconferences.
Here is where a lot of people slip up. They believe that in order to 
identify themselves as a coach, a person must fit a specific profile, 
meet particular requirements, and have a long history of performing 
the activity in question. 
But, the truth is that anyone who is eager to learn can become a 
coach Yet in truth, anyone who wants to study may become a coach if 
they have the motivation. but, the reality is that anyone.
Be a good listener
One of the most important things for a life skills coach to 
remember is to listen well.. The individual who needs assistance 
should speak up but may not feel confident doing so. Prior to 
speaking, make sure that your clients comprehend what you are 
saying by listening more often than you speak.
It can be beneficial for someone to talk to someone outside of 
themselves if they have experienced losing hope or feeling 
hopeless in their own lives. This doesn't mean that they need 
advice on how to handle these situations; rather, it demonstrates 
interest in their emotional health by listening closely enough to 
understand what happened and recognize any emotional triggers 
connected to it (e.g., fear).
Take time to reflect on your sessions
As a general rule, ask an open-ended question first, and then more specific 
ones later. Ask someone how they feel rather than what happened or why it 
happened, for instance, if they just lost their job and are depressed about it. 
Ask them how they believe this will impact their lives in the future if nothing 
changes after they have responded to that question (i.e., if no new job is 
found).
Have a consistent approach:
A consistent strategy will make your clients feel more at ease. Here 
are some instances of consistency in  that your customers are 
aware of what to expect from you. Tell them, for instance, that 
each session will include time for questions and feedback on the 
session as well as work on their current goals or difficulties.
If necessary, adapt your delivery style (e.g., change it up if 
someone has trouble focusing). Be prepared with various methods 
for dealing with issues like maintaining motivation or managing 
stress outside of therapy sessions. For instance, you might suggest 
an exercise or activity that takes place somewhere other than the 
office where we meet so the person can still get things done 
during this time but also unwind later on in the day!
With your clients, establish clear 
expectations and goals.
As a life skills coach, you must set up clear goals and expectations 
with your clients. You'll be able to focus on what matters as a result 
of this. Also, it will improve your effectiveness and efficiency, allowing 
you to complete more tasks in less time. Client doesn't like to hear 
that they can't help or that they don't know how to do something.
Where  of the many folks make mistakes?
By taking care of yourself first, you can help others. It's critical that 
you take the time to identify your demands and difficulties 
because you are the finest one to comprehend them. When you 
do train others, it will be simpler for them because they won't be 
carrying as much emotional weight.
You might not see this as having much of an advantage, but I can 
assure you that if we all made time for ourselves, we would all feel 
better about ourselves and make better judgments than ever 
before.
