How do I become a life coach?
To become a life coach you first need to make sure you have what it takes to live a successful life yourself. Be organized. Be time efficient. Make sure you make the most out of every day. After all, you can’t coach someone else to live life to the full if you yourself aren’t able to hold to the same standard. Make a list of all the strategies that you would use to help others with their lives and first use them on yourself and your own life. Make sure you take note of the difficulties you face and your problem areas. Find ways to improve your problem areas and implement them. Once you have reached a point where you are satisfied in your own life and are sure that your strategies will work, you can start planning to coach others.When you do decide that you are going to become a life coach you need to make sure that you study enough. You are going to become a strong influence in people’s lives. This is dangerous business. You cannot afford to mess up or give false information. You need to know exactly what you’re talking about at all times. Read as much as you can on coaching and psychology. Once you understand how one’s mind works and how to motivate them you are ready to start getting clients.Finding life coaching clients can be difficult as often those who need the most help can’t afford to hire a professional. Many people also don’t see a need for a life coach after all everyone else manages to live their lives without help. You need to market yourself correctly to the correct people. Once you start gaining clients you need to make sure that you are enthusiastic and honest with them at all times. This will help in building a relationship with your clients and will make them more likely to recommend you to a friend, college or family member also in need of help.When you start coaching your clients make sure you support them and encourage them often. Set clear boundaries and let them know your exact expectations. Keep the relationship professional and your job should be pretty easy. I hope my suggestions have helped in some way and if you are really interested in becoming a life coach then I would recommend that you read “The Successful Coach” by Steve Williams. I wish you the best of luck!
How do you become a life coach?
There seem to be a number of certifications available for life coaches as well as any number of training programs. There may not be any legal requirements for certification/licensing but you should seek to maintain some sort of credentials in order to get and retain clients. My life coach doesn't hold any "certifications" but he does have degrees in counseling psychology, management and human resources, and educational leadership.
How do amino acids become life?
The first "life" was likely a nucleic acid. Probably RNA. It may or may not have beenencapusalted in a lipid as mentioned in the other response. They already have formed (through random chance) RNA sequences that will link free nucleotides in a template directed fashion (ie RNA that copies RNA). This could have formed first, and then been encapsulated by a lipid sphere (so the RNA that copies RNA doesnt copy random junk in the solution, and it proceeds from there with better sequences leading to more proliferation) 2) They are working on it, as I already mentioned, we have recreated RNA that copies RNA. They have created self replicating RNA molecules, and they've shown the RNA population evolves. Its not a living cell, but its a start to evolution of genetic material.
Should I become a lawyer?
I agree with the third poster that you'll be 40 years old in 15 years, regardless of what you do with your career path. A few questions to consider. How many units do you need to finish college? Can you finish these at a junior college / community college (cheaper) and then transfer to a university and go to school at night (or can the hours you work in your current career be changed to accommodate school in the morning). Buy used books if possible. You can go to school part-time at night (yes, even ABA law schools have this option) but it will take 4 years. This way, you won't have to take as many loans. Also, take the LSAT. If you do well enough in college and with the LSAT, you may be able to get a full (or partial) scholarship / fellowship at law school - apply for many scholarships, local, national, etc. When you're at law school, make sure you buy used books. What type of lawyer do you want to be? Most lawyers do not make the $125K starting salary that's touted (those are the ones who are "required" to work 12-15 hours per day) - they typically earn 40-50K, especially without experience (these are the ones who work only 8-9 hours per day unless one is preparing for trial). If you can save up enough money so that you don't have to work while going to school (or at least only work part-time), that is ideal. Plus, you can be a law clerk after your first year so you can learn more about the law. Yes, people can go to law school later in life. Many have chosen it as their second career (I know someone who graduated college, worked for 10 years, then went back to law school). P.S. A higher starting salary usually means that more is expected of the first year associate - no life outside of work. A lower starting salary - especially in smaller cities - usually means that they expect you to have a life and the attorneys in the smaller cities are more laid back.
Do I need a degree to become a life coach?
Do you think people with degrees and even advanced degrees will respect you as a coach without having an education at least equal to theirs. Personally I'm skeptical of anybody trying to give me important advice without the benefit of a similar educational experience...
