really want to start getting into the coaching field, particularly relationship coaching, and get my certification. I am very intuitive and have a true knack for consulting, dealing with people and feelings, problem solving and solution-finding,etc. But my only qualm is that I dont want people to think ' oh, she just didnt want to go thru all the extra schooling to be a therapist ' or think that it is not a credible or legitimate practice or something.What do u think of people who are coaches as a career? what do you think of coaching versus therapy? pros, cons? would you rather see a coach or a therapist? would you hire a coach? what do you think the underlying values of a coach are vs a therapist? Its kind of true that I dont want to spend the next 4 yrs in school, i just want to start my carer now!but I also dont want2 regret it.therapists, do u like ur job?do I get to do any analyzing at all w/ clients as a coach?
Answer:
Good question-
I could understand the stigma (they need more education) to help people with problems- however life isn't about the smartest most qualified people- it's about people who get results. I much rather go to a coach that will tell me what I'm doing wrong and the solution to get it corrected. Versus a therapists will "help" patients "discover" and come up with their own “solutions”. After years of trial and error- they may get out of the situation- perhaps…
Listen to Tony Robbins- he has a great CD about this specifically-
Sign me up for a coach versus a therapist any day!
Best of luck in your endeavors!
