So… you are thinking about becoming a life coach. You like the idea of making a difference in the world. You like the idea of helping people. You like the idea of working for yourself, in your own time and at your own pace. Maybe you like the idea of working from home…, from the beach… from a villa in Spain… from anywhere, really!

Truth be told. Many people are now considering Life Coaching as a self employment option or as an option to provide an additional stream of income. Life coaching is becoming very popular!

Being a Life Coach provides you with an opportunity to get out of the 9 – 5 grind, out of the traffic, out of the boss’s hair, out of your shell. And into your time…, your pace… your way… your difference!

What does a Life Coach do? They partner with their clients to compare where the client is and where the client wants to be and they focus on bridging that gap. Therefore Life Coaches have very distinct character traits. They are empathic, patient, compassionate, with strong leadership, organisational and communication skills.
