If you want to find a right coach and do not want to spend thousands searching them, the best way I will suggest is you become one yourself. These are the following steps that will help you become a right coach:
1. Choose a niche: Coaching is a vast field, so professionals have a myriad of niches to choose from. This helps coaches market their services to a specific type of clientele and gives potential customers confidence that the coach has expertise helping people with their unique challenges. Some of the possible areas of specialization for life coaches include:
1. Business
2. Career transition and job search
3. Romantic relationships
4. Academic issues
5. Spirituality
6. Aging
7. Work-life balance
8. Weight loss
9. General wellness
2. Complete a training program: Helping people improve different areas of their life is a big responsibility—and requires specialized training to be effective. During training, prospective coaches learn the psychological principles of coaching, how to conduct a coaching assessment to determine clients’ needs, ethics in coaching, and communication skills. To get the best results from their training, students should find a program that has been accredited by industry associations like the International Coach Federation.
3. Get a credential: Earning a certification in addition to a degree can go a long way toward gaining the trust of potential clients. Credentials, which are provided by professional associations like the International Coach Federation and the International Association of Coaching, requires expertise and demonstration of high work standards. For example, the International Coach Federation offers a Professional Certified Coach certification that requires professionals to have 500 hours of coaching experience—450 of which must be paid—as well as at least 25 clients. In addition, people who apply for this certification must successfully complete the Coach Knowledge Assessment, which tests on their understanding of coaching agreements, ethical guidelines, active listening skills, goal setting, and accountability. Similarly, those who want to earn the Master Masteries Coach designation from the International Association of Coaching must complete a series of tests to demonstrate their knowledge of coaching principles. In addition, candidates for this certification must submit recordings of their coaching sessions with clients in order to be evaluated for the association’s coaching masteries—such as the ability to actively listen and help clients set clear intentions—into their sessions.
4. Set up a business classification: To get certain legal protections as a business owner, life coaches can get a business classification, such as a Limited Liability Company or Corporation designation.
5. Obtain business insurance: Although life coaches are not required to carry insurance, getting coverage can help protect their business and give clients peace of mind.
