An Online Life Coach Can Be
a Life Purpose Coach

What is an online life coach, and what does it mean to work with someone online in a coaching situation? While the term ‘coach’ is fairly straightforward, when you get to talking about a life coach, it becomes a little more open to interpretation. Add into that equation the variable of doing all this in the virtual environment of cyberspace, and it is no wonder that a lot of people really do wonder what being an online life coach is all about.

Personally, I am really not into labels and labeling. I don’t tend to call myself a life coach, online or otherwise, because I am reluctant to define myself with a job title. This being said though, titles and labels can be useful in quickly recognizing the areas in which our fellow human beings specialize, and getting an idea of what someone’s work involves.

A very important part of my life’s work is interacting with people to encourage, motivate, and challenge them to live their dreams and to help them learn to trust their own inner strength and guidance. If you want to give this type of work a label, I guess you could call it life coaching. Since a big part of what I do could be termed life coaching, and I am doing more and more of it online, if someone really wanted to give me a job title, then I guess they might call me an online life coach.

Conducting personal sessions as an online life coach is one of the things that I am incredibly passionate about doing. While I love writing with a great passion, writing is a solitary and somewhat remote way of connecting with people. I write from my heart, and send my work out into the world with a hope and a belief that people will benefit from what I have written. Of the thousands of people who read my writing, I get a small percentage contact me to tell me that what they have read has made a difference in their lives. I cherish that feedback as it gives me a tangible indication that what I am putting out into the world is finding a receptive audience.

Working one-on-one with people as an online life coach is a totally different scenario. It is completely interactive, and I am incredibly blessed and honored when my fellow human beings give me the opportunity to contribute in a personal way to their life paths by inviting me to work with them. When I have the chance to get to know people from various parts of the world, to share their hopes, dreams, and challenges, and to walk with them through a part of their journey, I know that I am doing the work that I was born to do.

I have known for many years that my purpose in life is to share information and encouragement with others, and this purpose can be expressed in a multitude of ways. Fulfilling our purpose in life need not be done in a dramatic way- one of the most vital ways that I am living my purpose on a daily basis is by raising my children in as loving, nurturing, and growth-oriented environment as I can alongside my husband, Ian.

Every time I share some practical or inner knowledge with my children and see their eyes light up with understanding, I am living my purpose in an amazing way.

Every time I write an article for Choosing Life My Way, I am living my purpose in a meaningful way. If every piece I write could just bring some hope, understanding, encouragement, or insight to one person, somewhere in the world, then my work is worthwhile.

Every time I connect with someone individually and work with them as an online life coach, I am living my purpose in an incredible way. I know that I have so much I want to give, and I thank the universe for keeping on bringing me those people whose growth and aliveness can be most enhanced by what I am able to share with them.
