How To Become A Life Coach – Best Step By Step Guide

How to become a life coach anywhere in the world is a question that many interested people in this field often ask and they usually get directed to either a very long way to become a life coach or even the wrong way all together… but here at The MindTech Institute since we believe simplicity is the best way of learning, we have decided to answer this question simply and  once and for all!

The short answer for those  who don’t like to read much details, the steps are simple; you enroll in a Life Coaching Course (NLP and Life Management Training), you study, complete the course, graduate and start working. That’s it! No need to pay tens of thousands of dollars on some courses and get registered with life coaching boards and associations, no need for all those titles and you’re not required to be registered by any organization (you can if you want to) but you’re not required because life coaching and similar work is an unregulated industry in Australia and most of the world. Furthermore, with the qualifications you will receive at The MindTech Institute are more than sufficient to qualify you to practice a successful life coaching career since The MindTech Institute is globally recognized training institute.

Do you need 1000s of hours of experience as some claim?!  The short answer is, YES and NO. YES is because the more experience you have the better you get at any kind of work you do. The NO is because if you have had the proper training at the Life Coaching course you’ve done you’d have learnt all the necessary techniques and skills you need to become a successful Life Coach and then you build your experience along the way.

How to start? If you’re unable to attended to our workshops in Sydney or abroad where we hold our workshops (click here to check our workshops locations and dates) then you can simply enroll and study online; NLP Practitioner and Life Management Training.

That was the short and simple answer. However, if you’re still reading after this point, then well done, you’re a detailed person and want more details, so keep reading…

What is a Life Coach? A Life Coach is a qualified professional who helps people to clarify and identify their goals and assists to reach their desired outcomes. A professional Life Coach isn’t only someone who motivates people and hype them up using adrenaline and fluffy words! Life coaching is about helping others in building real measurable strategies based on the client’s situation by assessing their values, lifestyle and behavioral patterns as how they process information in their mind.

Is life coaching for you? A great question but often unanswered correctly! If you’re the type of person who likes to teach others amazing skills and help them to achieve it, then life coaching is certainly for you. Moreover, life coaching does NOT stop only on helping and assisting others as a professional career, but it also helps you personally. Some people enroll in the Life Management Training and NLP and even become life coaches not to literally work as coaches but to apply the skills they learn at their own home in dealing with your family and children, at their job and their social life. After all, life coaching is about how to manage your own life before you coach others in managing theirs, therefore, it’s a great set of skills you will learn for yourself as well as to utilize those skills in helping others and choose the path as a career Life Coach.
