Which "coach" training is better? Is it a pipe dream?

SELLING HOPE...?

It seems there is more money in training coaches than actually doing coaching.  And the "I wanta help people" noble motived individuals often fall by the wayside, failing to follow through on the training or their dream.  The exhortations and visions of great success fill the mind with dope (actually dopamine) for hope...and few succeed in this approach in life.  (My whole site is committed, at no monetary benefit to me, to having you, instead, actually "build" yourself and your life on a practical platform that doesn't promise instant success but, if you follow the key path specified, you cannot possibly not succeed in life, except in dire circumstances.  Also see the Life Coaching page and follow the links.  If you are not following the advice and practices that life coaches suggest, you are not at all likely to be a good coach!!!!)


ASSURING A GOOD DECISION...

So... if you really want to proceed, I'd first suggest that you read at least 4 books on coaching (pick the best of the "coaching" books on Amazon) first and then decide, with others' input, if you really want to pursue this and will pursue it to actual completion.   Please DO NOT skip this step, as such "checking for feasibility" is a key must in proceeding toward a life of success!!! (More pre-investigation, until you gain total clarity on this, is what you should actually do - you'd go a lot further than this brief "pointing" article!  For instance, you might read, on the site:  Choosing The Right Career/Business - Measure Twice, Cut Once.)


TWO ALTERNATIVES

The High Performanc Coach Training, with Brendon Burchard, which I've taken, at a cost of $10,000 plus cost of getting there and staying there. I'd assess this as pretty good, but I would guess that both programs have material you're used to (and already think you "know").  There are some good "role-playing", "practicing" sessions in it.

Jack Canfield's Train The Trainer, which I've not taken, at a cost of  $3495, but online, with the approximate same number of hours, but in videos.

I cannot be an expert in making the best choice here, but it does seem to me that the latter alternative makes more sense, plus it has a well known, highly credible name behind it (that would help in marketing, I think). [Of course, at this point, Burchard might be better known...]

Again, on such major moves you should, if you are to be wise in life, use The Carpenter's Rule:  "Measure twice, cut once." (See The Life Decisions Book, which is actually a reading list of a few key pieces on my site, that may be turned into a book if I decide it would be better.)

[I have no affiliation or financial interest in any of those organizations.  I only want what is best for you.]

Good "luck" and good fortune to you in your decisions in life,

Keith
