People need support to survive and thrive in the game of life. Life Coaches assist and encourage, without passing judgment or holding anything back. Similar to the idea of a sports coach, a Life Coach helps individuals perform at their highest level professionally, personally and financially. Many clients seek out Life Coaches for help with relationships, careers, communication, motivation, health and spirituality.
Part of knowing how to support someone is discovering what’s keeping them from achieving their goals. Once these challenges are addressed head on, the course is clear to move forward productively. As a Life Coach, you will learn to ask the right questions, listen and give honest and open feedback.
What Career Opportunities Are Available for Life Coaches?
There are countless opportunities for Certified Life Coaches. Ultimately, great coaching, regardless whether we label it business coaching, executive coaching, personal coaching, whatever coaching – all boils down to one thing – bringing out the very best in yourself and others and the need for support and encouragement is not something that will fade away. In fact, as more and more people are looking to alternative methods for health and wellness maintenance, the need for trained Life Coaches is on the rise.
According to an article on Forbes.com, Life Coaching is “exploding.” In fact, nearly 20% of Life Coaches reported year end six figure salaries. For many, the average pay may be closer to around $30,000 to 40,000 a year but varies depending on your clients and hours. As your years as a practicing Life Coach increase, so will your profits!
