Career Coach Training Program
In our experience all coaching is coaching. Essentially coaching is a methodology designed to bring about change and to move someone from where they are now to where they want to be (in some instances coaches even help identify where their clients want to be). Core skills such as Reframing Perspectives or Asking Powerful Questions are the same skills no matter what niche you are in. What differs from niche to niche is your CLIENT and the MARKET they are in. For example parents have common issues with their children and can be found hanging out at schools, executives have common around staffing and work life balance or how to grow a business and can be found hanging out in companies. The difference is in your market, but your coaching model and your business model change but NOT in how you coach.
So we have put together what we know from experience is the best structure to “learn” your niche.

Power Tool: Worry Vs. Mindfulness
By: Jodie JensenTransition Coaching, UNITED STATES
The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, not to worry about the future, or not to anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly. ~Buddha
Define Worry is when our minds get “stuck” in a non-productive thought loop. Some worried thoughts may be “if only” thoughts from the past: “If only”…I had done better on that speech, married differently, finished college, taken a different job and so on. Other worried thoughts are about the future. These are the “if….then” thoughts: “If” I don’t get this job,” then” I will be thought a failure, “if” I don’t release this weight “then” I will lose my spouse, or “if” I don’t give a great speech “then” I will be thought a fool. -
