Life Coach Training Happens Best While Being Coached
Life coaching is designed to help clients determine and achieve goals and improve their self view in order to make them happen.
Life coaching has developed from executive coaching, sports coaching and leadership training and uses techniques from counseling, sociology, psychology and mentoring. Life coaching is not targeted at psychological illness, and coaches are not therapists. Instead coaching focuses on effecting change in a client's current and future behavior and life.
According to a survey of coaching clients, "sounding board" and "motivator" were the top roles selected for a coach. The survey said that top three issues clients seek help on are time management, career, and business. Those are areas I may work with someone on but only as they impact their lives in the realm of their view of themselves.
So if you want to be a life coach, I believe you first need to have the experience of being coached. There are many training schools available and more seem to be popping up every day. Formal training may be what you want or maybe just working with a good coach yourself will give you what you need to help people achieve their goals.
When I work with clients who have a lot of life experience and have a way of positively influencing almost everyone they interact with, I suggest the possibility that they might not need formal training at all. I did attend a top coaching school, The Coaches Training Institute, but I didn't get that much out of the training. That is not to say that their training isn't good. It is. That is to say that it probably wasn't such a good fit for me. I learned much more about being a good coach by working with a good coach for 2 1/2 years.

ReplyDeleteI am very lucky to have the post above. I gain new knowledge and important info.. Here is my own opinion - How many times have you failed at performing something? Some task or another? Probably you might have pounded your head against what looks like an unbreakable brick wall over and over again and you’re feeling highly unaccomplished. Maybe you’re feeling like you’re ready to just give up! Well… should you know one thing about failure is the fact that there's only one way to fail… and that is to hardly ever do. There are films that will put failure into perspective for you. Once you feel discouraged attempting to make changes in your life, that everything you do doesn’t appear to work, let those video clip inspire you to carry on moving.
