Dear colleague,
Are you curious or intrigued about the profession of coaching?
Are you feeling burned out with your therapy practice? Are you tired of
traveling to your office? Do you want to work with healthier clients?
Are you happy being a therapist but want to add something new to
your practice? Have you considered becoming a coach but are
concerned about the effort involved in building a new business?
Imagine taking the skills you have now as a therapist and applying them towards a career where you can... create the lifestyle you desire... work from home or anywhere in the world accessible by phone... have healthier clients... help others get what they want in their lives... and increase your income at the same time!
Does this sound ideal?
These are some of the main reasons an increasing number of therapists are becoming coaches. Coaching is one of the world's fastest growing professions with an estimated 30,000+ coaches worldwide. Career and life coaching for Baby Boomers was included as one of the 27 hottest ideas for 2007at Entrepreneur.com.
Sounds Great….Is It Possible To Make a Living as a Coach?
This is one of the most frequent questions asked by prospective coaches. Two separate surveys conducted in 2003 revealed that 9% of coaches were earning $100,000 or more per year. Some coaches make a six-figure income from coaching and related products and services while others coach on a part-time basis to supplement their income.

But As a Therapist, I'm Already Doing Coaching…
Professionals trained in psychology and psychotherapy have skills that other coaches may not have at first. For example, therapists are already skilled at listening, supporting, encouraging and facilitating change as well as training in
human development.
However, coaching is a distinct profession and it is not concerned with healing
or dealing with people who "need" help. Therapists will have to unlearn and modify some of their therapy skills, as well as learn new ones. They will also have to make
a shift in their orientation towards the client and how they see themselves in
relation to them.
We'll Show You How and Where you Can Find the Answers
to Your Questions About Coaching
In 1999, Juliet was where you are now.
"After working in the field of family violence as a therapist, researcher and educator for 20 years I was burned out. I wanted to focus on the positive aspects of peoples' lives, as I could not hear any more stories of trauma. Like you, I wanted to help people but the strain was wearing me down. I needed to find an alternative that allowed me to utilize my training, skills and experience as a therapist but allowed me to work with healthy people. I needed positive energy around me.
I read an article on coaching and instantly knew I had found what I wanted. I could work from home, surround myself with positive people...and travel while I worked--bonus! I immediately began to research the profession. I soon became overwhelmed with the enormous amount of information and the numerous training programs available. It took me several months to choose the training program best suited for me and to understand what the coaching profession was all about.
There was not much accurate information available on the differences between coaching and therapy and how to transition from therapist to coach. I was left to sort this out on my own. Having a guide like this would have cut down on my research time drastically. It also would have helped me make the transition from therapist to coach quicker."
Save Time Getting through the Information Maze
The amount of information available about coaching is expanding rapidly. Let’s take a look at coach training. Currently there are over 200 organizations offering coach training programs. Only 53 of these coach training programs are accredited. Three of these training programs have been created specifically for therapists and helping professionals transitioning into coaching. It could take hours upon hours to go through all these programs.
The How to Become a Coach ebook package for Therapists and Counselors outlines the
- distinctions and similarities between coaching and therapy,
- advises on how to transition from therapist to coach,
- explains the difference between accredited and non-accredited programs,
- shows you where to find these coach training programs,
- and how to choose the best training program for you.
Many of the free 'Question and Answer' or 'Introduction to Coaching' teleclasses available are slanted in favour of a particular training program. The 'How To Become a Coach ebook package for Therapists and Counselors' is objective and provides all the information you need in one place to begin making the transition to coaching.

Here's What One Master Coach
Had to Say About the
"How to Become a Coach" ebook.
|
"As one of the
first Master Certified Coaches in Canada I have many people contact me
and ask me questions about the coaching profession.
Sue's ebook provides the answers to many of those
questions. I recommend anyone exploring the
profession and deciding whether to become a coach to purchase Sue's
ebook for their resource library. I wish I
had a book like this when I first became involved in the coaching
profession. It would have saved me a lot of
time."
