How Does One Become A Personal Or Life Coach?

Oct 28th, 2009 by newmoney

Is any formal certification necessary to be a personal / life coach? Also, are most personal / life coaches self-employed consultants, or do some work for companies that provide such services? Any information about the field of life coaching will be appreciated.

    If I were going to do this, I would definitely have some college behind me. I would rather go to a life coach who has a degree, so I am assuming most people would as well. Do a search online to see what kind of degress are held by these people. Possibly a psych degree would be good. You know, the study of human behavior. Search out someone who is a life coach now and ask them. I don’t see why they wouldnt’ talk to you and answer your questions. I think there are a few of these types of people on myspace. I may even have one on my friends list. I will post the link below if you would like to look through them. Myspace would be an excellent place to search for a life coach to probe their brain.
    Good luck.

    I know someone who took on-line classes. Look up coachville.com & you will find an enormous amount of info. I know many coaches & there are different ways.. if you want to meet people who are coachs I met most of the ones I know when I attended a Religious Science chruch. This is not a religious church everyone comes as they are & aren’t told what to believe or not believe in but look it up on the internet & call some churchs & talk to people or find one & visit. It just happens alot of people at this churchs are interested in self-help & phsyology

    There are basically two ways to become a life coach:
    1- You take a course to become a Life Coach, or you are an trained NLP practitioner or hypnotherapist and you declare yourself a life coach (these two areas are where life coaching developed from in the first place– life coach is a more palatable name than hypnotherapist for many people)
    2- You declare yourself a life coach and hope people believe you.
