Become a Life Coach

Is it a good fit?

To find out if you're cut out to become a life coach:

• Talk to other life coaches to see what the career entails.
• Take a course from a seasoned coach. There are many courses online.
• Hire a life coach you respect and trust and make part of your process the determination if life coaching is the career for you.

Many coaches believe life coaching is a calling. You really need to love helping other people and want to make a difference in people's lives. Coaching is a demanding career that has many benefits which include:

• You don't always need to meet face-to face with your clients; some you may never meet since coaching can be done over the phone, computer or live video. This allows you to work flexible hours from home without commuting and spend more time with your family.
• You don't have to pay the overhead of an office.
• It's a vehicle for you to continue to learn and grow in a supportive professional community of other coaches.

Many people go to coaching schools. Many people spend lots of money for training. Not that many actually end up doing it. In my way of looking at things there's nothing wrong with that. No learning, no experience is ever wasted. But if you want to be surer of your path, hire a coach, find some coaches to speak to and question or take an inexpensive preliminary course.
