Nowadays, acquiring a skill or getting certified in an already learnt skill is a matter of time and a stable internet connection as information can be accessed from any part of the internet and information on how to become a certified coach is no exception.
However, it can take a while to navigate through the heap of information scattered online. But, it’s usually worth the searching at the end.
Try typing in “Becoming a certified life coach” and you’ll be surprised at the loads of answers you get with most of them trying to sell an e-book or the other to you when in reality, what you ought to do is as simple as:
Know yourself
In what area are you good at? Ask yourself before jumping into anything. Are you caring, compassionate, kind, with a mind to help humans with their life problems as most people constantly want to better their lives in every way and check their insecurities at all times.
Pick out a niche
You need to have a direction. When you hear the term "life coach", what comes to your mind? You think about health, lifestyle, career, food, wellness and other things related to life. In all honesty, “life coach” sounds too vague and generalized.
Instead of referring to yourself as a “life coach”, be specific. Introduce yourself as a career coach, a fitness coach, a lifestyle coach.. instead of saying, “ I’m a life coach.”
