Become a Life Coach (Print Book & CD-ROM Set)

Imagine having a rewarding, high paying job coaching people to achieve success in their work, relationships and life. As a life coach you will help people identify what is holding them back from having everything they want in business or life, and coach them to overcome those challenges.

About a Career as a Life Coach

People use life coaches for the same reason that they use sports coaches: they want someone to work with them, to encourage them, to push them.

Coaches have “clients” instead of “patients.” Instead of telling clients what they should do, you will act as a facilitator to help them figure out solutions for themselves. As a life coach, your job is to listen, to ask questions, and to give honest feedback.

Many people who hire life coaches are already successful, but want to achieve more. Senior executives, for example, often want the unbiased feedback a coach will give them through executive coaching.

Other people want a life coach to assist them in achieving a more rewarding job, better relationships, more free time, or to improve some other life area. They may have difficulty setting goals or finding the courage to do what they want instead of what others expect of them.

As a life coach you may decide to assist anyone who wants coaching, or choose to specialize in coaching people in a specific area, such as:

• business
• careers
• environmental impact
• family
• leadership
• mid-life
• relationships
• retirement
• spirituality
• self-awareness
• time management
• wellness
• weight management
• work/life balance

Within each of these areas, there are many opportunities for life coaches. For example, as a relationship coach, you might work with married couples, gay couples, singles who are seeking a partner, or anyone else who wants the guidance a coach can give to improve relationships.

Likewise, successful companies (such as Kodak, IBM and Marriott) hire corporate coaches to help employees achieve greater success in a variety of areas. In addition to executive coaching, many corporate coaches get paid thousands of dollars a day for leading training programs to help employees reduce burnout, improve customer service, get along with co-workers, and maximize performance.
