Self Help Guru Suicide: Live with Something to Die For
When I heard about the self help guru suicide that happened last week in New York City – it was actually a double suicide – I thought about the irony that people, who specialized in encouraging others to live full and happy lives, would take their own. I also thought how this would be used by cynics as evidence that self help coaching is a sham. Then I thought back on the great work by Viktor Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning. And then I understood.

Don’t Waste Time Getting a Life Coach Degree!
That’s right: don’t waste time getting a life coach degree. Look at the current state of coaching and the degree programs out there. You will quickly see that coaching has not evolved to the point where a degree gives you the most current and powerful knowledge in the field of coaching. That is unless what you are actually looking for is a degree in “counseling” or “psychology.” And if you do get such a degree, you probably should sign up for a certification program in coaching, so you will … [Read more...]

Job Coach Certification Can Be a Waste of Time
Job coach certification, like any coaching certification, can add to your credibility and set you apart from the competition. Since many job coaching opportunities lie with bigger companies providing out-placement services as part of a layoff package, certification may be necessary to get in the door.

That is “How much money do I get back, for every dollar I invest?” How much more money will I make in my business because I have that bigger dump truck?
