Q&A: how can I start life coaching in puerto rico?

Question by Gringarican: how can I start life coaching in puerto rico?

I have a bachelor's degree in social work and really like the idea of life coaching vs. talk-therapy. I am interested in some ideas on how to get started and if I have to take specific classes, ect. I just finished school but have been in the mental health and chemical dependence field for some years now and tend to have a pretty realistic outlook on life. Help!

It would be best if you take a course and get ICF certification in Life Coaching. Life Coaching is not like therapy: you are not the expert; the client is the expert on his/her life and you are there to ask the right questions to help the client discover how they should proceed. You are there to mirror the client, help them set goals and hold them accountable for the goals that they set.
Hope this helps.
