About

Life coaches often work with clients who lack purpose or motivation, feel stuck in their lives, have unresolved issues, or have serious mental health problems. Often, the coaching process involves shifting the client’s perspective and helping them reach new understandings of their circumstances and emotions.

The coach helps their client make an action plan to get unstuck and move forward with their life goals, combining accountability, encouragement and planning. Moreover, they help the coachee develop strategies for protecting themselves from negativity and self-sabotage, so they can avoid the cycle of relapse.

A good coach has an eye for detail and pays close attention to the client’s body language, energy and what they’re saying during the session. They listen carefully and make sure to ask questions that will bring out what the client needs to know, so they can be fully present in their sessions.

Become an expert at your craft and build credibility in your niche through education and experience. This could include a degree or background in psychology, wellness, nutrition, organizational behavior, business or marketing.

Be a master at saying no to requests that don’t fit in with your schedule or what you are currently working on and keeping your relationships intact at the same time. This can be challenging at first but with a little practice it will pay off in the long run.

Create a referral program to increase your reach and attract potential clients. This is a great way for you to generate more income and be rewarded by the clients who refer other people who need your service.
