Become a Certified Life Coach
ICF ACCREDITED TRAINING PROGRAMS FOR LIFE COACHES
The Life Coaching Industry
The life coaching industry has seen significant growth in recent years, as more people seek support and guidance to achieve their personal and professional goals. According to the International Coach Federation (ICF), the number of professional coaches worldwide has increased by over 20% in the last decade.
Becoming a Certified Life Coach is a popular career choice for those who have a desire to help others. Accredited life coach training programs provide the necessary skills and knowledge to work with clients and help them identify their goals and develop the strategies they need to achieve them. Life coaches can work with clients on a wide range of issues, including career development, relationships, stress management, and personal growth.
Transitioning to Life Coaching as a Career
Many people who choose to become a Certified Life Coach have a background in fields such as counseling, human resources, or business. They often also have a passion for helping people reach their full potential. Life coaches help clients with a variety of challenges, including finding balance in life, setting and achieving goals, improving communication and relationships, and overcoming self-doubt.
While transitioning to a career as a Certified Life Coach can be rewarding, it can also be challenging. You have to learn new skills and knowledge (and sometimes even "unlearn" existing thought patterns) and building a client base, all while staying motivated and juggling training and certification with work/family commitments.
At ICA you receive additional support from our coaching community, which is incredibly strong, connected and global. So there is always someone to talk to no matter which timezone you are in. We also provide business building, marketing and technical resources to help you attract the right kind of clients for you.
Use Your Expertise to Specialize as a Life Coach
You'll find that most coach training schools cover the same curriculum, especially if they are accredited with the ICF. What is different about ICA is that we don't teach these concepts within a singular theoretical framework. Rather we embed the skills and knowledge in a range of theories and models and then help you find your place within that.
The result is that you leave ICA with a fully formed coaching niche that is unique to you. You might have a leaning towards positive psychology in which case your coaching style would reflect that. Or you might be a systems thinking person, or interested in brain based coaching. Whatever it is, we work with your interests and strengths and help you create a coaching process and style that is unique to you and the people you will be working with.

It was amazing to see coaching in classes and witness lightbulbs going off as clients were able to take a new perspective and see the possibility of other alternatives, actions and outcomes. There has been nothing more rewarding than being able to be a part of the journey for so many of the amazing people I have had the pleasure of connecting with through ICA.
In her coaching model "In My Worth," Brittany focuses on empowering clients to take control of their lives and make positive changes. The model is based on the idea that an individual's self-worth is not determined by external factors, but by internal beliefs and values.
Brittany explores the concept of neuroplasticity and how it relates to coaching in her research paper titled "Understanding the Benefits of Neuroplasticity within Coaching". This paper delves into how the brain's ability to change and adapt can be utilized in coaching to help clients achieve their goals.
