Life Coaching is like being a motivational friend. It's not about being a guru, sage, or savant. Coaches are everyday people with a servant's heart and a deep desire to help others reach their goals. Coaches help themselves while helping others. Does a Coach have to be certified? The short answer is, NO! Coaching is not regulated by the state or government. Coaching isn't counseling and it doesn't require a degree, certification, or formal training. Coaches are typically self-taught people who may or may not feel the need to take a training course. It's up to the client to vet the coach and make sure the coach is someone he or she would want to help on the journey. How to become an accredited coach? There is no such thing as accreditation in coaching. It's only as good as the company says it is because it's not backed by the government. The accrediting companies don't have anyone to accredit them, so therefore their stamp is only as valuable as you see it. You can have the stamp of an accrediting company, but if your client doesn't know who that company is, it means nothing because coaching isn't regulated by the government. How much do Life Coaches earn? It depends on how much time and effort a coach puts into it. Some coaches earn hundreds a year because they work a full-time job and can't devote much time to coaching. Other coaches can earn hundreds of thousands or millions with their coaching brand. Coaching breaks down into many categories and isn't just one-on-one sessions. Can anyone create a training course? The short answer is, YES! But it would be best to create success as a coach before creating a course. Can anyone become a Life Coach? The short answer is, YES! Anyone can become a Life Coach, but only those who are truly passionate about it, with a servant's heart will be successful. If you're ready to become a Coach, go for it!
