Course Description

Choosing a career in business coaching can be a long and rewarding experience. You can start your career as a business coach using the knowledge and experience you developed on your own. In order to have a fully functioning and successful coaching career, you must seek out a few things before you get started. This course will serve as a guide for your business coaching certification and properly prepare you for what you will face in your career. A few of the topics covered in this course include:

·    Business Coaching Niches

o   Business coaching covers a wide array of professions, industries, and markets. Coaches can choose to narrow down the field and specialize in a specific business niche. This course will cover how to choose your niche and the advantages and disadvantages of specialization

·    Creating A Business Plan

o   Coaching is still a business, no matter what your focus is. Business coaches may have the experience necessary to effectively guide clients in the business world, but they have never created their own coaching business. This guide has all the steps involved in creating a business coaching service, including your licensing and certification requirements, and how to plan for growth in your career.

·    Development and Continued Education

o   You never stop learning as a business coach! Progress in your business coaching career cannot happen if you do not continue your education. This will include how you can expand your career and coaching certification on your own, and further develop your skills.

These are only a sampling of what you will learn in the course. We challenge you to take the next step and become the greatest business coach in the industry!
