194. The 5 Traits of Every Great Life Coach

Many people are born coaches without even realizing it. People are often unaware of what it really takes to be successful as a coach, and people question if they have the potential to do well in this career.  When people hear about leadership coaching, life coaching, or business coaching for the first time, they think that the signs you will successful are if you have a lot of life experience, a large following, and charismatic, high energy personality. The truth is that none of those elements matter. When I started life coaching in early 20's, I had little life experience. I did not have a large following or network. I was (and still am) introverted and shied away from the spotlight. Most people who become coaches realize that, in all their previous careers, something hasn't quite stuck.  When they finally discover coaching, they realize it's the exact thing they've been looking for. Coaching takes all the things they've loved about all their jobs and puts it all together, while also eliminating all the things they didn't like. In this episode, I take my research from training over 1,000 coaches to reveal the five traits of every great life coach. To start a successful coaching business, visit ⁠www.thrivingcoachacademy.com⁠.
