Coaching does not require a license to practice so long as your coach does not engage in state-regulated activities. No state has established a license for the coaching profession to date and likely will not in the future since coaching does not pose a threat to the public. This makes regulation unnecessary and there has been a recent trend towards eliminating needless, restrictive regulations.
The coaches at Affirm Change with Life Coaching are not licensed mental healthcare professionals, we are executive and life coaches. The are many differences, however, the major difference between therapy and life coaching is the focus of work. Therapy focuses on mental health and emotional healing, while life coaching focuses on setting and achieving goals with a purpose-driven action plan. With that said, mental health is important, and we do encourage our clients to seek resolution where necessary.
ACWLC can be highly complementary to clinical professions as we are strongly committed to growing awareness as an integral part of the solution to the global mental health crisis, coaches working alongside all licensed mental healthcare providers. When mental health is mentioned, it is often associated with illness and/or disorders, however, that is not entirely the case. Various people are not joyful because the life they dream of is not happening the way it has been pictured or maybe even expected, and the thinking/action is unknown and/or uncertain. This subconsciously prevents a person from believing in themselves and having the ambition to secure their aspirations.
According to the Wealth Research Group, 2016 and the University of Scranton:
Even more surprisingly, 20% of the population do set goals, and of those 70% fail to achieve the goals they have set for themselves.
People who achieve their biggest dreams do the following differently.
According to Forbes, 2019:
