What is Life Coaching?

Life coaching is multifaceted. The most important thing a coach can do for you as a client is to help you get clarity while providing the framework for success and accountability for progress. Life coaches have the privilege and responsibility of empowering, encouraging and motivating their clients to identify their goals and objectives, develop plans and action steps toward personal development, self-empowerment and meaningful achievement. A successful coaching experience creates sustainable results, both during the coaching process and for years to come. The progress of clients will be measured as their goals and objectives are achieved.

What Is The Difference Between Coaching, Consulting, Therapy and Mentoring?

Coaching is about empowering your client by asking questions, facilitating strategic planning and monitoring tactical execution. Therapy is about helping your client by listening and offering advice and sharing coping skills. Consulting is about having all the answers and solutions to help your client with a specific task. Mentoring is a combination of coaching and consulting. As a mentor, you will empower your mentee by asking questions, sharing valuable experiences, giving advice and directions for success.

Is Coaching Right For You?

Life coaching gently helps people to step out of their comfort zone so that they can easily obtain success in any area that they choose. If you are ready for transformation, then you are ready for coaching.

Life coaching is a great catalyst for change and may be just what you are looking for in terms of encouragement, support, motivation, inspiration, accountability and compassion.

Should You Become A Coach?

The most important thing it takes to be a great coach is an authentic passion to be a positive influence in helping individuals improve!
There are many reasons a person may decide to become a coach. Here are some of the reasons coaching may be right for you:
If you feel compelled to make a positive impact in all the lives you touch, coaching may be exactly what you are looking for.
If you enjoy deep, meaningful conversations with people, then coaching may be ideal for you.

What are the Ethics of Coaching?

WGI Certified Professional Coaches commit a high standard and Code of Ethics based on confidentiality, honesty, and integrity. We encourage our clients to believe in themselves, set realistic goals, take appropriate actions and celebrate success.

Which Coaching Niche Should You Work In?

WGI Certified Professional Coaches work in over 52 different coaching niches.
We recommend the following: • Coach in a genre that you are passionate about
• Don’t take on more than 3 different coaching niches when you start out
• Do consider the marketing efforts required for each genre you choose to take on

How Do You Get Started In Business As A Coach?

The good news is that you can start a successful coaching business with very little upfront investment. There is so much potential for an excellent income and so little risk to get started.

You don’t need to lease an office. Most coaches work from their homes and provide their coaching services via the telephone or internet. Coaching clients by telephone or internet means you have expanded your marketing opportunity across the globe.

How Much Can You Charge For Coaching Services?

Coaches usually charge for a series (or a package) of coaching appointments, rather than charging an hourly fee like therapists or consultants do.
Successful coaches usually require their clients to sign up for a minimum of a 3-month contract so that their client will have the best foundation and support for sustainable transformation in their lives. The maximum length of a coaching package, that I am aware of, is 1 year.
Naturally, this is YOUR business and you prepare your packages and coaching sessions exactly how YOU would like to have them.

Is There Any Value To Getting Certified?

There is a difference between earning a certificate and earning a certification.
A certificate usually results from an educational process.
A Certification is a process that results in credentials.

Who Are The ICF, IAC, SLA, CCE And Why Do You Need To Know?

The ICF, IAC, SLA, CCE are 3rd party accrediting bodies for the coaching profession in the United States.
These entities award coaching certifications with credentials and all of them require the coach to acquire continuing education to keep their credential current.
