Hi, there, coach.
It's Carolin Soldo here, and I'm excited because it looks like you want to make a difference
as a life coach.
Am I right?
Well, that's exciting, because life coaching is one of the hottest niches and projected
to grow next year in 2018, but at the same time there are more and more life coaches
struggling to get clients and make great money in their business.
That begs the question, are there certain qualifications and maybe certifications that
you need to succeed as a life coach?
Well, today I want to share with you the four key qualifications you need to have success
in your life-coaching business.
Make sure you watch until the end, because I have something super special for you again
today.
It's our premium coaching guide that will help you build a coaching package as a life
coach that you can charge premium prices for.
It's going to walk you through step by step how to build a coaching package you can sell
for two, three, five thousand dollars or more.
Make sure you stay tuned to grab the link to the guide.
The first and most important qualification you need to be a life coach is personal life
experience, because guess what?
If you've never been in a divorce, if you don't have kids, if you don't have experience
with a struggling relationship or anxiety or anything else that you want to coach on
as a life coach, how can you expect to be able to make a real difference with your clients?
You don't know what it's like, and you will have a hard time creating a program that really
hits the spot and gives your clients the results they really want.
I also think that if you don't know what it's like to be in that situation, you will not
be able to speak with great passion.
Right?
Sometimes I get so passionate about what I do, because I know what it's like to be a
new coach.
I know what it's like to launch a business and to fail, and try again, and be there,
and be frustrated, and succeed at the same time, so if you don't know what it's like
and you have no personal experience, you're not going to speak with as much heart and
passion.
I believe the struggles you experienced in the past were given to you for a reason.
If you can leverage your struggles, and you can turn them around and learn from them and
really figure out, "How can I use this experience, and give back, and show others that they can
overcome it too," I think that's worth a lot.
I think this is where your sweet spot is, and this is where you can make a real difference.
The next qualification you need is intuition.
Intuition is key when you're a life coach, because guess what?
Clients will not always tell you the truth, and as a masterful coach, you want to be able
to ask questions that go deeper.
Read their emotions.
Really feel and sense what's going on with the client so you can coach them and get them
ahead.
Clients do not need a cheerleader.
They also do not need a friend.
As a coach, sometimes you need to be asking them the tough questions to get them ahead,
to get to the actual core issue they're dealing with and get them to break through.
The third qualification you need is patience.
Having patience is so important for your clients, because they will feel heard.
They will not feel rushed.
At the same time, they will feel understood, so when you have patience you're doing yourself
a favor, because you're not going to get frustrated with the client.
You're also doing the client a favor, because they feel like they can really let go, relax
into the changes, trust you fully, and know that you're going to be on their side.
Your fourth qualification is confidence.
Why is it so important to be confident as a coach?
Well, your clients will look at you and ask you, "What do you want me to do?
What are the things I need to be doing to get results?"
Sometimes those things are hard, they're different, so you want your clients to come in with an
open mind and ready to take action, and be fully committed, coachable, and following
through.
Right?
That's why it's important for you to be confident and be that leader for them, so you can inspire
the transformation that you're really after.
What you don't need to succeed as a life coach might surprise you.
In my opinion, you do not need a certification.
The school of life is there to teach you what you need to know to be a successful life coach,
so I believe the struggles and the experiences you've had are more than enough for you to
go out there and make a tremendous difference with your clients, but if you have a certification,
congratulations.
That is great.
I do not mean to undervalue them or tell you they're not worth anything, because I think
your certifications are amazing, so if you have both your certification plus real-life
experience, you have the perfect package.
