How Do I Become A Life Coach

[loulou111]

I really have thought about becoming a life coach .I would like to do some research into courses etc. Does anybody on here do this for a living could you give me some tips please.

Honestly what is your own life like? Would somebody look at you and see a happy successful well adjusted healthy person? Would they think “I want to be like her, how has she done this"

What do you understand the role a life coach to be, loulou? What sort of clients would you see yourself supporting?

[loulou111]

I'm not sure what type of clients as yet. Would like to try a foundation course to explore options

loulou....you haven’t answered my question.....if you can’t answer yes, then maybe you need to look at going to a life coach before you train as one?

I'm content in my own skin woolfgang and I asked for advice on courses and tips if anyone did it as a living. I therefore dont appreciate your comment about me seeing a life coach myself. A marriage guidence advice worker can be single and still give advice on marriage. So how I would coach someone to help them would have no relevance on how my own life is or isn't measured on success,

lou lou, I wasn’t intending to be rude....its just if I was looking for a life coach, then how I would choose one would be to look at how they seemed to me....If they were unhappy and unsuccessful in their own lives then why would I want to get advice from them about my life? same as a financial advisor...why pick a broke one...or yes, relationship counselling, why would you choose someone who went from bad relationship to bad relationship?

Ok point taken :)
