   • “Life Coaches are just people who charge huge amounts to tell you what to do. How are they qualified for that?!” Unfortunately, this perception of coaching persists because there are a lot of big-name coaches who do just this – act as a self-appointed authority who doles out advice (or worse, orders) on what you should be doing to solve all your problems and live a fantastic life.
   • “I can get advice from my friends/family for free!” Maybe you can, and if that turns out to be all you need to get to where you want to be, great!
   • “Coaching is the same as therapy or counselling, right? I’m not sure how that can help me with goals” While there is a lot of similarity between coaching and counselling and therapy, the two are different.
   • “Life coaching legitimate?! Anyone can all themselves a ‘Life Coach’ without any training or qualification – how do I know you’re not a charlatan?”
