Why would I need a Life Coach?

We all need a helping hand sometimes. If you are feeling over-whelmed, or under-whelmed by life, have a specific issue or problem you are wresting with or just need a fresh perspective, then Life Coaching may be for you.

What is Life Coaching?

Life Coaching simply describes the process of spending time regularly with a selected confidante, in order to discuss your life situation, share any problems or challenges you may be facing and in return receive advice, perspective, motivation and support.

Is this like seeing a Psychiatrist?

No. Life Coaching is not a recognized or formal therapy, although the results may indeed prove therapeutic!

Will a Life Coach give me answers?

Some Life Coaches are more 'passive' listeners rather than advisors, believing that the process of talking through an issue and surfacing a problem will bring the relief and clarity you seek. Others are less shy about giving advice!

What's Burrel's style?

Burrel is a more active kind of Life Coach. He has a high-energy, unpretentious style. He doesn't pull punches or skirt around issues, but neither will he spoon-feed you a solution. So be ready for some 'for-real' advice. This is collaboration, and you'll be encouraged to play your part!

Does Burrel have Coaching Certification?

Burrel doesn't have formal training, or academic qualifications in coaching. We believe his rich life-experience; his insight, perspective and extraordinary passion and energy are of far greater value than formal qualifications.

How long will it take?

There are no fixed time limits for a Life Coaching program, so the best indication I can give is: 'as long as it takes!' The duration of the Life Coaching relationship is totally at your discretion. Some people may simply need a 'one-off' confidence boost, and one session will be enough. It's more likely however you'll get such value from the collaboration, that you may want to continue to work with Burrel over a number of months

How will I know when I don't need him anymore?

When you are on track to achieving the goals you set for yourself, you will be ready to cut loose!

Is Burrel a Physical Trainer?

No. Although Burrel is physically fit, his role is to get you focused, motivated and in the right frame of mind so you can work that body! If you need a more tangible incentive to get to the gym, Burrel will on occasion, do coaching sessions while working out with you as a 'buddy'!
