BellaOnline Forums Beauty and Self Life Coaching registered for classes

I registered for my grad school classes. THREE of them. I am seriously considering dropping one and just taking two... but I have until mid august to make that choice.

This Graduate degree, in Family Financial Planning and Counseling should help me become the coach I want to be, but do you think getting "certified" as a coach is something that is also good to do? Obviously I am going to have to finish grad school first I don't think I can handle both at the same time.

What is involved in Life Coaching Certification? I have looked at the websites and talked to some schools on the phone, but I don't really have a good idea of how intensive and hard the courses are.

Anyone care to share?

I think getting certified wouldn't hurt and could make people feel more comfortable with you. I know someone who does counseling and he has all sorts of degree's and I think it helps with your education in your field. Later in life you might remember something that you learned from these classes you take. :) Good luck and I think it's good you're not pressuring yourself. I'm an undergrad and I only take three classes at a time because it's what I can handle if I want sleep haha. I would rather do what I can handle instead of getting bad grades on my GPA.

Most of the life coaches I've interviewed even if they have graduate degrees also have life coaching certification. I�m not exactly sure what the training entails. It probably varies according to specialty.

A new beginning. This is exciting!!!! Good luck!!
