What Is A Certified Life Coach?

It is possible that, while searching for a personal life coach, you came across an advertisement or two with someone claiming to be a "certified life coach". Many who claim to be a certified life coach end up charging more money than non-certified life coaches. With that in mind, is it worth paying the extra money to hire a certified life coach? In many ways it is, although it might not come up in your situation. Before understanding if it's worth it or not, you must understand what a life coach certificate means.

It is possible, though not advisable, to start up a professional life coach business without being a certified life coach. All it really takes is getting people to hire you as a life coach, either via the internet or from seeing an advertisement in the newspaper. Once you do that, you are a professional life coach. However, a certified life coach has special training. It takes a lot of work to know what to say in different situations and to know how to help a person get past things in their lives that are holding them back. A life coach institute will offer training that can help a person be prepared for any number of experiences that someone who simply "proclaimed" themselves a life coach simply doesn't have. With that said, you can see that it would be a good idea to make sure that you hire a certified life coach rather than a non-certified life coach.

After the dust clears, training is what separates a certified life coach from someone without a life coach certificate. Going to a life coach institute allows a person to get over a year of training and experience that they simply wouldn't get otherwise. So, if you're looking to hire a personal life coach, it's worth it to pay the extra money for an expert.
