Section #1 Becoming a Coach – Specific Questions

How do I know if Coaching is the right career for me?
This is a complex question and depends on many personal factors. If you enjoy helping people and feel empowered by seeing others progress and reach their goals then this is a good indication.

Try asking yourself these questions. If you respond YES, then it sounds like Life Coaching would be an excellent career path for you:

* Do you like people?
* Are you a good listener?
* Do you easily develop a rapport with others?
* Do you like to take pride in other’s success?
* Do you enjoy helping others?
* Do you want to make a difference in the world?
* Do you want financial independence?
* Do you want to continue to grow spiritually?
* Do you desire to work at a job you love?
————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Can I make a good living as a coach what is a typical income?
There is a huge need for Life Coaches in the Philippines and very few qualified and certified Life Coaches to fulfill that need. That means that Life Coaches are in great demand. Many coaches charge between 2,400 to 3,600 PHP per month for life coaching. Depending on the area of focus, you can adjust your fees.

If you are coaching an executive in a Multi-National Company (MNC) you will probably find they are prepared to pay a higher fee with an equally high expectation. If you are coaching clients by telephone or skype and they are located outside your country, you have the option to charge the rates for that country.

Also, these are really ballpark estimates. Some superstar coaches working with high income earners charge yearly fees in the $50,000 – $100,000 range.

Each session is typically about 45 – 60 minutes. Annual income depends on whether one wishes to work full-time or part-time as a coach, as well as how much time one is willing to put into their practice.

In either case, at these rates, if you get even ONE client after you are a CCA certified coach, you will have recovered your tuition fee. In fact, we have designed our fee keeping exactly that in mind.
————————————————————————————————————–

What type of individuals become coaches?
People who want to contribute; people committed to personal growth; people valuing freedom and independence in their career choice. A career in Coaching is perfect for the individual man or woman who desires to make a difference in people’s lives while maintaining a high standard of personal excellence in his or her own life.

Common backgrounds of today’s Coaches: Consultants, IT Professionals, Mental Health Professionals, Managers, Trainers in Development, Sales and Marketing professionals, Call center professionals, Hotel Management professionals, Human Resource Professionals, Financial Consultants and Chartered Accountants, Professional speakers, Fitness Instructors, Holistic Practitioners, Housewives and many many more.

In general, people from any walk of life and with any educational and professional background can become successful, financially independent coaches with international clients.
——————————————————————————————————————————————–

Is coaching considered therapy or counseling?
Coaching is NOT like therapy or counseling although Coaching does draw from a diverse range of disciplines. Coaching is more concerned with results rather than understanding or processing. Therefore, there is a strong focus on action. Coaching makes its focus on the future rather than the past.

Coaching is about working under the assumption that every individual that we are coaching already has all the answers that they require within his/herself. The primary job of the Coach is to help the client tap into the deep resource that they already own to find the appropriate answers to the areas of their life that is just not working for them. It is very important to remember that the Coaching Session is an ‘advice-free zone’.
——————————————————————————————————————————

Are there any prerequisites to becoming a Coach?
There are no prerequisites to becoming a Coach. However, there are some MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:

• Our programs are designed for self-directed, mature adults;
• Legal age of consent;
• Proficiency in English;
• Good written skills;
• Willingness to assist others;
• Empathy, compassion toward others.

If you have questions about your eligibility to become a coach, please contact us and we will be happy to speak with you.
——————————————————————————————————————————-

Can I coach part time?
Absolutely! In fact, we recommend it. Set aside a few hours a week for your coaching clients, but keep your day job. Then, as you start getting more clients, you can begin to devote more time to your practice. At that point, you can opt to become a full-time coach, or you can continue coaching part time and earning that extra money. Remember, at Philippine Coach Training we work with you to help you build your business.
________________________________________________________________________

Do coaches specialize?
Although many Coaches prefer to keep their options open, a great many coaches do choose to specialize and focus on a particular niche’ in the marketplace.

Business, Executive, Organizational, health and fitness, relationship, career, confidence, self-esteem, marriage, spiritual, and finances are just a few areas of specialty that we can mention here. The list is endless and you are only held by your imagination and your interests.

Why not build on your area of interest where you already have specialized knowledge. You have instant credibility and may even have ways to market directly to those clients.

Deciding on if a specialty niche is right for you, and discovering just what that niche should be is part of your learning experience in the program.
