Not sure if this has been answered, but what qualifications are needed to become a life coach? Is there formal training for this?

Don't know what it's like in the U.S but up here, anyone can wake up one morning and decide to be a life coach. There aren't any specific educational requirements. If you're gonna pay 75 $ an hour, I'd say get a licensed psychologist

Life Coach is a broad term that's quickly becoming a catch all for anyone who wants to be a consultant. But in general a background in psychology and therapy usually are musts as to help someone achieve a higher level in their life usually means working through whatever hangups might be holding them back. ETA: Additionally, a proven track record of successful client case studies helps as well!

That's what I thought...this seems silly. No one has all the answers. I'd rather go to my mom and get some free advice.

It's not silly depending on what it is you're looking for.
If I need advice for my business, I want to talk to someone who has experience in my industry.
If you need dating advice, you want to connect with someone who has a background in that.
IMO, in order to get the most out of having a life coach (which is a nothing more than a general consultant), you need to know how to ask the right questions to find the person who specializes in what you need to learn. But the same can be said in any situation.

You both tried it.......you wanted her to do something for free that she usually charges and she foolishly did.......she should have charged you because y'all aren't friends.......the subliminal email was silly........I think you want BHM to tell you she's wrong........she's not she just should have been upfront.

The real question is, if OP HADN'T received an invoice, would she still have continued to reach out to this life coach the next time she had a question and needed guidance. If the answer is yes, the coach is justified in sending an invoice.
ETA:
In other words I'm saying, OP may have made a reference towards the end of her convo with the coach that gave the suggestion of "I'd like to hit you up for more advice in the future". In that scenario, the coach is justified.

the answer to that question is irrelevant, imo. the life coach is supposed to be (or is claiming to be) the professional in this scenerio. i just feel like the not-invoice subliminal is a wack messy way to handle this. and even if the op hit her up with a suggestion at the end of the conversation that she would like more advice in the future (the op did not mention this so it is speculation but would clearly be an act of aggression on the ops part if in fact it did happen in my view) she (the life coach) should have dealt with it right then and there.
what kind of life coach is passive aggressive dealing with their own real life business? lol funny as hell...

If you didn't solicit her services in the first place, I don't see how you would be taking advantage. Besides, she's letting you know there's no need to pay her. Now if you want more advice, that's another story. |
i agree. I think 100% in kind means that it was free this time, but next time there will be a charge when asking her for advice. She was trying to be slick!!  Just send her a thank you note and stop talking to this woman. She don't want a friendship!
