Life Coaching

What's up with life coaching?

Who does it?

How much money do they make?

How can they help you?

What should you expect from a life coach?

What credentials do they usually have?

Is this a US-only phenomenon, or are there life coaches in other countries?

I'll be researching this in the next month or so. Several things observed right away:

1. In the US: Not regulated or licensed by states, at least not yet.

2. There are suppliers of specific life-coach training. It's expensive, like going to a good law school. For the money you usually get some kind of a non-degree "credential." More on "credentials" in a subsequent post.

One source of information, by no means the only one - picked at random from googling "life coach":
