   my friend is a certified life coach. she is so amazing, and she works mostly with teens (girls) who are having trouble with yidishkeit/family/friends/school... you get the picture. you really have to Daven tho, that you say the right thing the right way at the right time, cuz no matter how hard you worked to become certified, these kids don't always want to hear what you have to say, and you could c"v make them feel worse. but it's all b'yad H-Shem.

    To me, a life coach sounds like a cross between a social worker and a psychologist/therapist. But, if I am not mistaken, some people who may be classified as "motivational speakers" such as the once famous, Tony Robbins (of infomercial fame) consider themselves to be life coaches, as well.

    Why is the op trying to pit one poster against another (squeak, aries) ?

    Perhaps because they disagreed with each other on this point in a previous thread.

    So should the op try and continue the fight here? why?

    Seeking different perspectives on an issue does not constitute a fight.

    I think the most obvious issue people might have with coaching is that the coach is effectively serving as a Social Worker/Psychologist, without much of the professional training and regulation. Anyone can call themselves a "coach", and if they are incompetent the could do much harm.

    Not every certified life coach is really qualified in being an actual life coach, you should seek someone who is a little older and has actual life experience as opposed to some young shnook that did a course.

    This is common sense and goes without saying, although I find that many times stuff that are should be common sense somehow isn't so common as the saying goes.
