How to get into the field without ending up on this sub
I am not a life coach however I’ve been considering a career move (largely due to my health) and much of my education and professional experience sets me up really well to be in the coaching business, including several certifications directly related to coaching. I am quite aware of the social media landscape for this type of business at the moment, and I also know that there’s no way to avoid absolutely all types of negative feedback or criticism or snark if I were to put my business online and use social media to market my business. With that being said, I feel like something that is holding me back from starting is the reputation that bad life coaches and other scammy types of coaches give the industry. So I guess my question is what type of online coach do you see and not immediately roll your eyes at or want to come to this sub and snark about? Does this sub believe that all online coaches are running some sort of scam or grift? Or do you see examples of online coaches that you would deem high-quality? And if so, what qualities do those coaches have? Thank you in advance for your feedback! My goal is to build an ethical and financially viable business that I can be proud of and keep my reputation and self-respect intact.
