Many people are today on the quest for answers as to how to improve life. This improvement could come in the form of career growth and development, or lean more towards personal fulfillment and happiness. To help find the answers they’re looking for, they turn to life coaches.
A life coach is a person employed to help others attain their life goals. A fast growing profession, it’s still relatively undersupplied, meaning that not only is a career in life coaching rewarding, it’s in high demand too. Coaching pays you to bring out the best in your clients – what can be more rewarding than that?
As a life coach, you’ll be tasked with encouraging, guiding, creating and measuring goals for clients. You’ll assist others to reflect and seek answers on their own terms, and enable them to make their own decisions for personal growth. A good sense of empathy is essential, as is good listening and insight skills. It may also be helpful if you’ve ‘been there’ to some degree. Experience can be a bonus.

A career in mediation and conflict resolution can be extremely rewarding and a Certificate in Mediation will lay the groundwork for effective mediation managing. You’ll learn conducive productive meditation and how to collate and analyse background information. You’ll discover how to build trust and cooperation, how to draw up detailed meditation plans, and how to uncover hidden interests of disputing parties.
Mediation allows you to actively facilitate negotiation and settlement between parties by providing direction and encouragement. It requires you to work collaboratively with the parties to find creative ways to reach a mutual solution. Most mediators are employed by local and state government, school and universities, legal/insurance providers, or independent mediator providers. To enjoy a career in mediation you should have good negotiating skills and credibility, be objective and have good self-control, and at all times be patient and tactful. You’ll also need perseverance and a strong yet calming demeanor.

Employment opportunities can vary within the personal training industry, but what all roles have in common is that they all lead to healthier and generally happier people. A personal trainer will not only help to achieve personal fitness goals, they can help perfect form, attend an old knee injury, help set realistic goals, and help with specific goals like training for a marathon or sporting event. A personal trainer holds their clients accountable and pushes them to their limits. They get maximum results in minimal time and can act as an unofficial therapist. Let’s be honest, most of the time when you’re working out with your trainer you’ll be telling them about your week, and getting this off your chest can be very therapeutic!
