If you are researching how to become a life coach and what it takes to be successful, you’ve come to the right place. I am Berry Fowler. My team and I have been teaching people to coach for more than four decades.
Over the years, many people have asked me “What does it take to be a successful coach?” To answer that question we did some research to find the commonalities among our most successful coaches. You'll find the answer below.
Here Are 4 Things You Absolutely
Need to Be a Successful Life Coach
A
Genuine
Desire
Becoming a successful coach begins with a genuine desire to help others. Your heartfelt desire to make a difference in the lives of those you coach is much more important than a college degree or years of experience in a helping profession.
Knowledge Tools
and Techniques
A successful Life Coach must gain the knowledge, acquire the tools and learn techniques of professional coaching in order to help clients to move forward, overcome roadblocks, develop plans and take actions to achieve their goals and live a life filled with joy and success.
A Plan
for Getting Clients
You could be the best coach in the world, but if you didn’t have any clients, it would be a terrible shame. Understanding how to organize, launch and grow your coaching practice is crucial to not only helping your clients succeed but to achieving your own success as well.
A Coaching Credential Respected
& Accepted
Worldwide
In today’s world, prospective clients are better informed than ever before. They are asking their potential coaches if they are certified professional coaches. And, although anyone can hang out a shingle and call themselves a coach, having a Certified Professional Coaching credential demonstrates you have taken the necessary steps to gain the knowledge and master the tools and techniques of professional coaching.

"I would recommend the course! I would love for everyone to experience what it’s like to help others see their dreams turn into their reality. The most valuable aspect of the course is helping us as coaches see our clients through the lens of personal learning styles, personal prose, mirroring and matching and allowing the exchange of shared dreams and professional aspirations. I’ve enjoyed the course and gleaned techniques and strategies to ensure my success as a mentor and life coach."
Coach Pamela, CPC California
I hope this information has been helpful in understanding what it really takes to become a successful life coach. The fact is all you truly need is a genuine heartfelt desire to help others. We can teach you the rest.

"I loved that I was able to learn 1 on 1 - I felt like I got so much out of the experience with Liz. She was very thorough and gave me so much great feedback and many things to think about and consider as I start my journey! I would absolutely recommend this course.
