So...what even IS a life coach? Feat. Rebel Black & Karen Foster

from Ducks on the Pond · host Kirsten Diprose and Jackie Elliott

Let's be honest, the perception of a "life coach" isn't always the best. The term can be associated with cult-like 'personal development' courses or well meaning 'wellness' types, who may not have the experience or credentials for a such a title. But then, who does?There's no university degree in "life coaching," but, there's no handbook to life either. So, while we can never be sure what should be on the "CV" of a life coach, in this episode we meet two highly recommended women:Rebel Black - Entrepreneur, founder of the Rural Woman and Life Coach, Lightning Ridge, NSWKaren Foster - Businesswoman, founder of The Future You Academy, Moyne Shire Councillor, Port Fairy VICPeople turn to a life coach when they are at a crossroads in their life, it could be choosing between career opportunities or a structural change in the family (such as a grown up child leaving the home).Both Rebel and Karen have extensive business careers, are passionate about local community and supporting rural women. They share their insights on what a life coach is, how to value yourself and what it means to live "intentionally".This episode is sponsored by: Sophie Murfett Design and her new business, Digital Ag.
