I’m currently completing iPEC’s coach training and it has literally changed my life!!

Three suggestions:
1. Only consider coach training programs certified by ICF. If you want to leverage your training to build a business or increase your value and comp at your current company, certification makes a HUGE difference.

2. Spend time exploring the range of ICF-certified coach training programs. There is something for everyone; you’ll only know which program is right for you by doing the research.

2. Talk to other coaches. We’re people-people and helpers by nature. So, reach out! I’d be happy to be your first info interview. I’d also be happy to give you some tips on how to do cold outreach successfully! Prior to starting my own biz, I got all my jobs through strategic networking ☺️

What do you mean by life coaching? The National Academy of sports medicine has an excellent lifestyle bundle certification based on nutrition and health management. However, there is a lot of accredited life coaching programs. Just make sure they are accredited ;)

I did exactly that. I am completing a year long coaching certification with Alyssa Norbriga. She’s coached for Deepak Chopra and is in Forbes article with Oprah and Ellen D. It was a significant investment but so worth it. I did coaching before this both with professionals, aspiring coaches and corporations but it’s changed my coaching business. I’ve recently gifted clarity sessions and have 15 over responsible coaches and professions signed up. It’s the greatest profession in the world...in my humble opinion.

Hey! I’m a Alyssa trained coach to. I’m Terry Westfahl. Do we know each other?

I have also completed the certification with Alyssa Norbriga. Life changing. Totally worth the investment

I agree with Alexandra Reese - start with ICF. I would add that if you can identify what kind of life coaching you want to do. I’m being certified with Mindfulness Coaching School which is ICF and has a focus on mindfulness and somatic practices.

Motivation is key when it comes to bettering yourself, your team and your brand. Without self-motivation, you'll be less likely to inspire your team to work together to better your business. Like a muscle, self-motivation becomes stronger the more you use it. Mastering the art of self-motivation will take some time to become a habit. However, with daily practice, you'll not only better yourself and your business, you'll inspire your team to lead more meaningful personal and professional lives.
