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
