Reno, NV News 4 life coach training Interview

Written By Dan Olexa

I had the honor of being interviewed by Janete Weinstein from News 4 in Reno, NV about the booming life coaching industry.

You can watch it here.

If you are curious about becoming a coach, whether it is as a part-time career, as a move to a new career, or as an additional service to what you already offer, vet a number of resources before choosing the training that is right for you.

I am personally partial toward ICF-approved trainings, (particularly Certified Life Coach Institute since I teach for them...that's called transparency. It's part of the ICF code of ethics, btw).

ICF-approved classes offer a standard of competencies and ethics. I'm not saying other trainings don't have value...I'm saying be aware of what you are choosing.

Or, to look at it another way...if you found out the coach you hired chose to be trained at a $49.50 holiday sale offer , would you want to invest your money on someone who did not invest in themselves?

BTW - those deeply-discounted training offerings IMHO are nothing more than cash-grabs from groups who fit my definition of coaching vultures.

(And yes, I just saw one of those offers advertised on my FB feed...90% off holiday sale. Ugh. Not making it up.)

Life coaching is a skill. It's a passion. It is not easy to do correctly, yet it is easy to do correctly...when you know what you're doing.

Commitment creates results. Commit to yourself if you are going to be committed to serving others.
