That's a common question. People can feel a range of thoughts or feelings such as "Who would want to listen to me?" or "Do I have the skills and experience to coach others?".

Just know that coaching is a skill, and skills can be learned. Just like driving a car is a skill and that can be learned by anyone. Although we may not have met before, if you're reading this right now I am 100% certain you have the ability to become a highly successful coach.

At the course, I'll lay out the roadmap of what it takes to become successful so you can judge for yourself.

Coaching is not regulated by the government (like doctors and lawyers are) so anyone can call themselves a coach.

However, to become a professional coach we recommend you get certified by the ICF (International Coach Federation), the world's largest, independent coaching body. (Beware of any coaching companies out there that set up their own certifying body and certify themselves)

There are certain requirements you need to fulfil to become ICF certified. We will run through these at the 1-day course.

According to a research report from PayScale, coaches earn between $50,950 and $319,992 per year. That is a big variance because it's more like a business and less like being an employee.

These figures also don't take into account the hours worked. Many coaches can earn over $100k a year while working 20 hours a week.

Also, later on, your coaching business can add leveraged streams of income such as group coaching, speaking and online courses which then has the potential to generate millions of dollars. I know this figure of "millions" can seem far off right now, but just know that’s what's possible.

For someone starting completely from scratch (and assuming you have about 10-15 hours a week to invest), it would take roughly 3 months to acquire the skills and begin feeling more confident using them (this could occur twice as fast if you have twice the time to invest).

During this time you would be practicing your coaching skills on other students, with people you know or conducting free coaching sessions with people you don't know.

After 3 months, you could begin charging for your coaching sessions. At first, it may not be much, but as you build your experience and confidence you can get to a stage where you are earning over $100k a year within 1 year.

Below is just a small sample of possible topics or niches you can help people with. Note: You don't have to commit to these forever, we advise you try it out and re-assess.

1. Life purpose and career coach
2. Results coach to help people achieve their goals in any area
3. Business coach or consultant
4. Productivity coach, decluttering, professional organiser
5. Relationship coach for singles or couples
6. Health and wellness coach for weight loss, general wellness, etc.
7. Wealth coach to help people become more disciplined and organized with their finances
8. Healing coach that helps people overcome stress, divorce, etc.
9. Peak performance coach that helps high performers, executives of everyday people achieve even more
10. Happiness and fulfilment coach that helps people find more contentment in life

I'm glad you're looking to improve your skills. It's one of the traits of world-class coaches :)

Just so you know, all the coaching techniques I recommend people teach will work with ANY modality. So it doesn't matter if you've learned NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), Kinesiology or anything else, it will complement your existing learnings.

The problem I see with most coaches is they are trying to learn either TOO MANY techniques or TOO SPECIFIC techniques. In over 10,000 coaching sessions from business coaching, life coaching and spiritual coaching, I've only ever used 7 different coaching techniques.

These techniques are both powerful and flexible. I'll explain what each of the 7 is at the 1-day event.

The main reason many coaches aren't fully booked is because they don't know how to market themselves correctly. They have the skill of coaching but not the skill of marketing themselves.

The good news is we are the only coaching company in Australia or NZ that I know of that is balanced in both.

So during the 1-day course, we will cover our step-by-step recommendations for how you can become fully booked in your coaching business (and in case you're wondering, it doesn't involve endless social media posts, Facebook LIVEs or direct messaging strangers).

Smart move :) That's because many businesses are using coaching as a high-end offer for their clients. There will always be people who are wanting to pay a premium for personalized services.

At the 1-day course, we will cover the steps of how to package your existing knowledge into a coaching program your existing (or new) clients are eager to receive.

You probably already know that the most effective managers or leaders are also great at coaching. Why? Because coaching is simply having conversations with people that help people realize their potential.

Great managers and leaders don't TELL, they COACH. The problem is most people don't have the skills or process to get the most out of their team.

In this 1-day course, we will go through the common blocks to why people don't change and the 7 processes you can use with your team to grow their skills and engagement in their role.

We admire the fact that you want to help others. About a quarter of the people who attend the course don't want to do it as a business. They just want to be able to coach others or even themselves.

During the 1-day course, we will cover the 7 types of coaching sessions you will be able to use with family and friends. Many of these processes can be done conversationally. This means you can help transform people in a casual conversation as opposed to sitting down formally to go through a process.

The 2nd half of the day is where we talk more about the business side of coaching. While this may not be directly relevant to you right now, it can still be worth knowing this information for the future.

That's because we find that many successful coaches begin without the intention of starting a business… but once they see the results and fulfilment from it they want to explore it further.

YOU are your own best coach. There is nobody else out there that knows your desires or problems better than you (coaching yourself is also free and you are always there when you need yourself!)

That's why self-coaching is one of the fastest ways to achieving your goals.

All of the 7 coaching techniques taught in this 1-day event can be used on yourself. In fact, that's what we recommend also. About 25% of the certified coaches we train don't want to do it as a business, they just want to coach themselves or others around them.
