Thread: What’s the deal with life coaches or career coaches?

I see people with these titles and I don’t understand what makes them qualified to be a coach for life or a career.

A lot of the life coaches are women in 30’s and 40’s and I’m wondering what exactly is it that these people can coach? The people who could actually use some mentoring won’t have the money to get a coach, and the people that do have the money are probably more successful in life than the actual coach. It seems like someone should be in their 50’s, 60’s and 70’s in order to give any real life advice.

For career coaches, a lot of these coaches are people who again are in their 30’s and 40’s but aren’t working in a corporate environment or if they did, they lasted 5-7 years and never made it up to a significant leadership position. Most likely, they never started up a signifiant revenue generating business and scaled it. So what career coaching could they really be giving? Again, the qualifications should be someone that has attained senior leadership in a Fortune 100, or a successful entrepreneur that built a high revenue generating business that could scale.

Oftentimes, these coaches are former bottle girls or guys who worked in the bar industry, and they both work as real estate agents now while moonlighting as some life/career guru on the side.

What are even the qualifications to say you’re a career coach or life coach?

I give life advice for free. Lol at paying someone for a life coach

The successful ones don't come off as grifters and do offer life changing information. These 2 are my personal favorites.





I wouldn't consider it life coaching. More like philosophers who teach you how to navigate through and avoid shipwrecks in the modern world.

Lol right? Like omg, Kristi from Rage like totally started using these healing crystals when she was feeling stressed out in her sales associate role and it’s totally helped her with being more focused. Oh, have you tried the bergamot and cinnamon spice essential oil? I highly recommend that you use those after you’ve had your apple cider colonic that totally removes the toxins in your body.
