Allison was on the How to Become a Career Coach podcast about two months ago. She shared a lot about her journey to become a career coach, which started by going through our Career Change Bootcamp (CCB) program, where she identified that career coaching was her direction.

Soon after identifying this, she enrolled in our Professional Career Coach Training and Certification program, targeting to finish in September 2019.

She was all set for having herself setup for her coaching career business.

It was then a few months later when she came on the podcast and shared her journey.

But, then, a week later, Allison had an emotional breakdown.

She started to feel overwhelmed by the thought that "everyone" is becoming a career coach, so how would she distinguish herself from all the others.

This is a real problem for anyone starting a business, especially a service-based business like career coaching.

• How do you differentiate yourself?
• What is your Unique Selling Proposition?
• Why would someone choose to work with you instead of _____?

Allison soon had a breakthrough when she began going back over her training for CCB. In CCB, you go through exercises to identify what it is you really want and who you want to work with/for. You also identify your Signature Strengths.

Going through and reviewing these exercise with the lens of career coaching gave her the perspective she needed to identify her niche - how she would stand out in the sea of career coaches.

Allison shares this new breakthrough on the HBCC podcast today, so listen to hear the details of how she went through this.

So, if you're thinking about becoming a career coach, the Professional Career Coach Training and Certification program will help you:

• Know how to work with a large variety of people in nearly any industry to help them identify their own ideal career.
• Understand a process and a framework to lead any client through nearly any situation OR when to help them get additional resources
• Have everything you need to get your first clients or get a role with a company you want to work with.

Also, if you enroll in PCC you get access to all the CCB modules that Allison did, too. So you'll have even more resources to help you dig deeper and make your career coaching foundation even stronger and give you more clarity.

Many people that think their dream is impossible.

Sharissa Sebastian had been in the tech industry for years, but was wanting to make a transition out of that field.

She was eventually introduced to coaching through Groupon.

Her coach began talking with her about what her ideal situation would look like, but she was holding herself back. She didn't think that "ideal" wouldn't be realistic.

But Sharissa's coach asked her, "But what if it is possible?"

"How do you determine what to charge for coaching?"

"Should I do one-on-one coaching or group coaching?"

"What if my target market can't afford my rates? Do I go broke, or do I just lose out on clients?" (and they don't get the help they need)

These are common questions that new coaches often ask. In fact, these are questions that all coaches face when they hit a plateau or brick wall in finding new clients.

While it's important to address these issues, realize that there is not just a single answer.

You will probably be looking for an 'AND' solution.

Listen to hear how Jennifer found a way to help her target market (also create additional benefits for clients), make it affordable for their financial situation, AND also provided the income she needed for herself.

Today Gia Ganesh joins the conversation about researching careers. Gia a coach with us here at HTYC and like many people that listen to the HTYC podcast, she didn’t always have her career figured out.

Out of all the examples of career coaches that I've shared with you, many of them didn't realize their passion for coaching until they were in their career for at least a few years (sometimes a couple decades).

Sarah is an exception to that. She identified her desire to "help individuals find careers where they thrive" when she was 21 and in college.

Granted, she didn't know exactly how this would play out, and she came across some fantastic opportunities and some hard road blocks.

Sarah actually came on the How to Become a Career Coach podcast to share how she got into career coaching.
