Learn Communication Skills During Your Life Coach Training
Karlacarbo: A lot of people believe that to become a good life coach, you just have to be a good listener. Being an agony aunt or only listening to people vent is not at all what it takes to become a good coach. Listening is vital in coaching; the life coach should listen much more than talk. This is where the 80/20 rule applies.
Asking Great Questions
Listening is just a small part of understanding the communication between the client and the coach. The life coach should also be clear and articulate in their questioning. He or she must be using exploratory and open-ended questions
Must be Confident
Confidence is a vital factor in running any business and even more so in life coaching. You’re making business decisions and working with those coming to see you to assist with their concerns. To be a good life coach, you must be able to deal confidently with your clients.
