Wellness
Wellness is an active process of becoming aware of and making
choices toward a healthy and fulfilling life.
"...a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and
not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." - The World Health
Organization.

6. WHY COACHING IS
GROWING
Change of Work Culture / Job Security
Traditional education is not adequately equipping people with
what they need for these mammoth changes.
College education is extraordinarily expensive, but is not
adequately preparing young people, or adults who want to pursue
higher education later in life, with the real-life skills they need to
succeed in today’s rapidly morphing work world.

7. WELLNESS COACHING
Lifestyle and wellness coaching is recognized as an integral
component to creating and sustaining health and it’s the need of the
day.
Lifestyle and wellness coaching is a skill set that empowers people to
tap into their own inner source of motivation to restore and preserve
health and well-being.

8. OPPORTUNITIES IN THE
COACHING INDUSTRY
The global growth of coaching is now well documented. A
number of authors on the web claim that business coaching is
the second fastest growing industry in the world. The
International Coaching Federation (ICF), the oldest and biggest
professional body, has an estimated membership of 17,000
coaches in 90 countries. There are many other professional
coaching bodies and many coaches who may not be members of
any, so this is clearly a low estimate of the whole (I’ve read global
estimates ranging from 30,000 to 80,000).

9. Professional coaching brings many
wonderful benefits:
 Fresh perspectives on personal challenges,
 Enhanced decision-making skills,
 Increased confidence.
 Better Health, Wellness & Happiness
And, the list does not end there. Those who undertake
coaching also can expect appreciable improvement in
productivity, satisfaction with life and work, and the
attainment of relevant goals. Everyone is familiar with the
concept of coaching in sport, and life coaching is similar in
principle.

10. WHY COACHING
Just as Tiger Woods and other world champions
like the Australian Cricket Team have coaches, so if
people wish to increase their performance they can
get professional support from a Coach. By careful
questioning and the use of other skills, a coach can
substantially assist the coachee to improve many
areas of your life, reach your goals and become
truly happy.
Coaching, therefore, can be defined as an
interaction aimed at helping the client / coachee:
Define and then to achieve goals.
Improve your performance and move towards
greater success.
