WHAT DO YOU THINK IT’S THE BEST LEARNING/TRAINING EXPERIENCE THAT LIFE COACHES SHOULD HAVE?

If you are looking to become a life coach, the following skills are necessary;

Problem solving

Problem solving is a crucial life coaching skill. Most clients come to seek advice on how to attain their goals, change behavior, or resolve an issue. As a coach, you should listen and give possible solutions or guidance.

Good at listening

To figure out a client’s needs, a coach should listen keenly. While most clients come with the usual problems, it is wrong to assume that the needs are similar for all. It is best to listen actively and get every need before giving a solution.

Networking

Great life coaches are friendly, approachable, and helpful. They should attend business meeting and other platforms with different professionals. This way, they can get referrals or refer clients to other specialists for issues beyond their help.
