Become a Life Coach
Life Coach training has become increasingly popular as more and more people decide to become a life coach. Many corporations now offer coaching and e mentoring to employees to provide a better work-life balance. As individuals become aware of the benefits of hiring a coach to give direction to their private lives, the coaching industry is rapidly expanding.
The International Coaching Federation (ICF),
the largest worldwide coaching organisation, has registered a significant increase in membership over the past 7 years. ICF now has a worldwide membership of over 11,000 coaches in over 80 countries, 50% of which are located in the USA. But this does not reflect the true number of coaches in the market, because many are not ICF members.
A Life Coach can help you set priorities and goals, create boundaries, organise your life, and improve your work-life balance. They work towards solutions and gauge progress using work programs, motivational techniques, questionnaires, exercises, and action plans. A client coaching programme can last for months; with weekly 30 minute face to face, or over the phone sessions.
A coach will work in any of the following niche sectors.
- Relationship 
- Conflict- Family- Parent- Retirement- Dating- Sports- Teenager- Happiness
Most of the people who seek the help of a coach are intelligent, switched on individuals, seeking help to: close a gap in their knowledge, change their style, accelerate their development, identify core strengths, or clarify issues.
Some of the clients seeking coaching will be suffering from burnout or depression. This is a cause for concern for mental health professionals because the life coaching industry is unregulated. Health professionals believe that an unregulated coach is not in a position to identify clients with borderline mental health issues.
Some mental health professionals are moving into the coaching market because it offers fewer constraints than their profession, and it's a natural fit for their skills. While a therapist focuses on the present by looking at the past, a life coach looks at the present to effectively plan the future.
A coach can obtain life coach certification through the ICF and obtain the following professional qualifications, which represent the industry standard.
MCC (Master Certified Coach) - Must successfully complete an oral and written exam, plus 2,500+ hours of coaching experience and 200 hours of life coach training.
PCC (Professional Certified Coach) - Must successfully complete an oral and written exam, plus 125 hours of coaching training and 750+ hours of coaching experience.
ACC (Associate Certified Coach) - Must successfully complete an oral exam, plus 60 hours of coaching training and 100+ hours of coaching experience.
A coach typically charges £50 to £75 per session, with corporate sessions commanding around £250 per session.
