Benefits Of A Career In Life Coaching
Are you someone who has always felt a deep-seated desire to help others? Perhaps you find fulfillment in guiding people toward their goals and witnessing their transformative journeys. If this resonates with you, then life coaching might just be your calling. Below are just a few of the many reasons why Life Coaching may be the right career choice for you
You feel it’s your calling
You’ve always loved helping other people. People often come to you for advice. You have a sense helping others is your calling and what you’re supposed to be doing. When you do your calling, you have the passion and inspiration to make it successful and by using your very best gifts, you do great work with others. Doing your calling then will most definitely take you down a career path that will be extremely fulfilling for you.
You’ll see positive results in people’s lives
Many jobs and businesses are not in the business of helping others and in creating positive, tangible results. In coaching you’ll support people to make progress in every session and throughout your coaching sessions to progress in every area of their lives. You will regularly see positive results and you will know the work you are doing is making a significant difference in other people’s lives.
High earnings per hour
Coaches start out make an average of $150 an hour. Many corporate coaches charge $500 an hour. The International Coaching Federation that sets industry standards for coaching did a global study that determined that coaches average $258 an hour worldwide. That’s not bad for an hourly wage. If you conduct groups, workshops or retreats that’s another way to earn a great living in coaching. Some coaches have 12 people that pay them $400 each. Some coaches have 50 people in their classes and charge $3000 each for their premium programs. The sky is the limit. There is no cap to what you can earn.
Flexibility and autonomy
You can coach people anytime, from anywhere, at any location around the globe. Whether you are a morning person or a night person, you can come up with a schedule that works best for you. If you are a stay-at-home parent, you can tailor your schedule around your kid’s schedule. You will also have autonomy to do the business and grow the business the way you want to. There is no one looking over your shoulder. You get to do it your way.
Moving forward in your own life
When you speak with clients every day about their goals, challenges, and solutions, you will notice that this will inspire you to become even more self-aware, more resourceful and make many positive changes in your own life. You will question how you live, what you want and what’s in your way. You move past your own obstacles and move forward toward your goals. You will feel compelled to “walk your talk” and live in integrity with your values and committed to creating a great life yourself.
Fun
You might ask why fun? When you’re caught up with busyness or a job/life balance often suffers. As a coach, you’ll have more time for yourself, for fun and to create a life of greater balance. Coaching itself is fun. It includes laughter, talking about positive things, connecting heart to heart with people and those who are coaches truly enjoy this work.
Your life will have meaning and purpose
Many people experience a void in their life- they are craving meaning and purpose. When people start becoming a Life Coach and serving others, most often that void is gone, and they finally feel a true sense of peace and fulfillment. You will experience greater happiness and an overall sense of well-being.
Life Coaching then is good career choice as it will be an opportunity to follow your calling, see positive results in other people’s lives, have high hourly earnings, and will give you flexibility and autonomy. You’ll also earn a high hourly wage and have more time to enjoy your life. Your life will have more meaning and purpose and you will feel a greater sense of peace and well-being.
