Life Coaching

To give you a clear understanding of the subject, this online life coaching course first outlines what coaching is and isn’t. It provides examples of the types of coaching that can be offered, and explores some of the potential benefits of coaching to the individual, community, and society.

Students who aspire to coach others need to first understand themselves and how people learn and think. This course guides you through these areas by helping you to examine yourself and understand learning itself, along with the importance of these skills within the context of coaching. You’ll explore various learning styles and theories, and receive exercises in self-inquiry that will help you to discover your preferred learning style, values, beliefs, emotional intelligence, and diversity.

Through studying this course, you can master the 5 core skills that are used on a daily basis by effective life coaches. You will learn:

• How qualified life coaches establish a good coaching relationship with students and create an understanding environment that helps them reach their goals.
• Effective listening skills and how to understand body language.
• Effective questioning skills and strategies that will help you identify someone’s goals and needs.
• How life coaches keep students on track with goals by managing and supporting the changes they are making.
• The importance of reflection in the transformative process of coaching and how life coaches use this on themselves, with students, and during coaching sessions.

This life coaching course also looks at the practical considerations of running a professional coaching practice, should you aspire to do this. You’ll learn about the various aspects of creating, running, and growing a successful business in this industry, although please be aware that does not, on its own, provide a licence or qualification to practise as a professional life coach.
