Life Coaching and Performance Coaching – Which one is for me?
This is a question that I am asked by many people and it is best answered by looking at your individual circumstances, the line between the two can be blurred and may even crossover. We work together to identify whether you need help formulating a game plan for your life or career or you need help formulating a plan for improving your game!
The chart below should help you to see some of the differences between the two types of coaching and help you identify which is for you. Some of my clients have found that once they reap the benefits of one aspect of coaching they want to develop themselves in other ways too - you are never locked in!

Life Coaching |
Performance Coaching |
Most life coaching occurs over the phone with little and many times no face to face contact. |
Performance coaching also utilizes phone sessions but is more likely to include face to face contact |
Life coaching is usually diverse, with sessions focusing on career issues, relationships, change management, organization, project management, etc.
Whatever the client brings, the coach will work on! |
Performance coaching tends to address a specific area; be it golf, fitness levels, personal bests, business targets, etc. |
Life coaching often is working with these different goals simultaneously, shifting from one to another frequently. |
Performance coaching tends to have a long-term singular focus; if working with a golfer that is all that we do, we don’t shift to career issues or family issues. Different aspects of golf and different aspects of performance, yes, but it is all about performance. |
Why is life coaching so successful?
- It focuses on positive action.
- Working in partnership with your coach, you accomplish much more than you could achieve alone.
- Coaching stimulates, motivates and empowers you.
- It helps you break through your limiting beliefs and self doubt.
- Coaching unlocks the potential you already have within you.
- The coaching structure creates support, motivation and accountability.
Will coaching be suitable for me?
There are no hard and fast rules in this regard so we adopt a common sense approach working together with the potential client to help decide if coaching is appropriate for them. We are very experienced in drawing the best out of people and custom design our services to cater for age related differences.
Can I afford a Life Coach?
This is a question that most people ask themselves and are quite right to do so. It is important to view Life Coaching as an investment - in the same way that you need to budget for all training and development you will need the necessary financial commitment. Coaching is surprisingly affordable and you are in control the amount of investment you make.
If someone asked you if you wanted to give them $1000 now and they would give you $5000 back a year later, you'd do it! Many individuals use coaching to advance their career, others streamline their lives in other ways but the majority find that as a result of coaching, they have more money than they did without coaching.
This is an investment in your future, don't short-change yourself. There may be ways to make savings in other areas of expenditure to cover the bulk of your coaching costs (and remember it may be tax deductible!). Most importantly coaching will help you get the life you want and in many cases greater success leads to greater financial award. Lastly, we, at Carolina Life Coaching, have a flexible fee schedule offering two separate packages, so that you may budget according to your needs and finances
