Do I need a certification?
Nope. You don’t need any certification. In fact, I believe certifications are overrated. However, you do need some form of training, like I offer in my “Life Coaching 101” program.
What exactly do life coaches do?
According to the International Coach Federation (ICF), coaching is “partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.”
I have zero idea of business/marketing. What do I do about it?
