I would be interested in following this as well. When you google Life Coach, lots of education & certification sites crop up, but how would one know which to choose? And, if you've got a certification, how do you collect clients/ We have lots of life coaches on BWS/NABBW. PL

Ever since I joined BWS, where I learned of life coaching, I've been interested in consulting with one. I've even bookmarked several locals on my pc.

I can't wait to hear what others have to say in response to your question, hotflashgirl.

Hi Gims, I hope the LCs pick up this thread soon. I am eager to hear too. In my case, I don't want to consult one, I wanted to be a LC. This, on the heels of being social worker, which was way too sad and desperate for me to take on a daily basis. For LC, I have a specialty in mind. A couple of years ago I did research on LC, but did not know how to set it up. Do you read Martha Beck's column in Oprah magazine? She's a life coach, and I think she teaches life coach.

Gims, on BWS, go to "user list" (see above) and scroll under "occupation" and you can see who has been listed as a life coach.

I rarely read magazines, but I'll check it out. Seems like the life coach market has been flooded. I think you'd be a good one, though. What does the training involve?

Hotflash, the above was a suggestion for you too, but I forgot to address you, and my edit feature had me timed out. Sorry

Hi Ladies

I am a life coach, although since I am so busy dealing with life these days, I do not practice.

If you are interested in training, check out the International Coaching Federation website. They are the ones who determine which coach training organizations are the best.

I went to training in Sonoma, CA. I absolutely loved my training. It is as much about improving yourself, as learning to help others figure out what they want. If you want the name of the coach training I went through, pm me and I will put you in touch with them.

I will be happy to share what I have learned over the years about training, what coaching is, how to find a coach, etc.,if anyone wants to know.

Anno, I for one have been interested in being certified as a life coach, for at least 5 years. I'm sorry to hear you cannot practice something you like to do. I know I would enjoy the training, but it's the marketing I worry about. I actually don't know what to ask. I hope the others who are interested will pop in again and ask what is on their minds. It's so good of you to offer your expertise. L, PL

Thanks Anno! From what I gather, these programs are rather expensive. Do you think one is better than another? Does a higher price indicate a better program?
