Life Coaches - How to Become One
Are you secretly envious of people who are earning lots of money by simply listening to other individuals? Do you secretly wish you can be one of them? Then, here's what you need to do:
1. Education. Although it is not really a requirement, it would work to your advantage if you have a college degree in psychology, sociology, and other related fields so you can easily understand human behavior.
2. Experience counts. Clients only sign up with life coaches who have proven track record in the field of coaching. That means, having a bachelor degree isn't enough to win their business. I recommend that you take advantage of internship programs being offered by schools and other learning institutions. Through these, you'll get the kind of exposure and experience you need to get better in the field of coaching.
3. Trainings and seminars. These will surely look good on your portfolio. Attend relevant trainings and seminars that are being offered both in the online and offline arena. These will help you increase your knowledge in the field of life coaching and will help you improve certain skills that are pre-requisite to succeed in this field.
4. Be a people person. There is no way that you will make it in this field unless you enjoy working with other people. Make sure that you comfortable meeting new individuals on a weekly basis. Also, you need to be friendly and warm all throughout. You wouldn't want anybody to tell your prospects that you are a snub or difficult to work with, right?
