There are a lot of coaches training programs that are mass producing \u201ccoaches\u201d, each offering their own version of a\u00a0prestigious life coaching certification<\/a><\/strong><\/span>. But really, what does a\u00a0prestigious life coaching certification<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>mean to you? Does it mean you have\u00a0become a life coach<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0who can help anyone? Does it mean you have\u00a0become a life coach<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>who has a steady schedule of paying clients? According to an International Coach Federation (IFC) published membership survey, about 4 out of 10 coaches earn less than $10K per year. That\u2019s because 50% of members of the ICF are only coaching somewhere between one and six clients per month. More than half of these coaches said it took them up to 2 years to get their first paying coaching client.<\/p>\n What is considered the most\u00a0<\/span>prestigious life coaching certification<\/strong><\/span><\/span>? What is the biggest barrier to getting\u00a0<\/span>prestigious life coaching certification<\/span><\/span><\/span>? The International Coach Federation (ICF) is considered the most\u00a0<\/span>prestigious life coaching certification<\/span><\/span><\/span>. The<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>ICF is dedicated to advancing coaching by setting high professional standards and providing independent certification.<\/p>\n The biggest barrier to getting the most\u00a0<\/span>prestigious life coaching certification<\/span><\/span>\u00a0from the ICF is getting the 2500 hours of paid coaching that\u2019s required before they will even look at your application. How are you ever going to get ICF certification and\u00a0<\/span>become a life coach<\/strong><\/span><\/span>\u00a0who<\/span> gets more than minimum wage?<\/p>\n Based on the ICF\u2019s membership survey, it seems obvious that there are a lot of coaches out there who are products of the coaching equivalent to a puppy mill. It\u2019s not uncommon to\u00a0become a life coach<\/span><\/span><\/span>, only to recognize that you are poorly equipped to compete in the market. Just look at average coaching salary stats. After spending thousands of dollars, many of these coaches find that they need to invest in more coach training so they can improve their knowledge bases and skill sets.<\/p>\n Be careful when you are signing up for coaches training programs. Almost all of them will give you some type of certification, but make sure that you are getting what you need from them, and not thinking you are getting a\u00a0prestigious life coaching certification<\/span>\u00a0when actually you aren\u2019t.\u00a0So rather than looking at what others may consider a prestigious course,\u00a0become a life coach<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0who makes your own judgment about what is prestigious based on what will move you forward in getting clients and making a difference for them.<\/p>\n Colette Seymann<\/p>\n JTS Advisors Designated Accountability Coach<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Prestigious Life Coaching Certification\u00a0Realities: Become a Life Coach and Get on Food Stamps There are a lot of coaches training programs that are mass producing \u201ccoaches\u201d, each offering their own version of a\u00a0prestigious life coaching certification.
