What To Call Yourself When the Word Coach Doesn’t Feel Right

As someone interested in becoming a Life Coach, the word itself may not resonate with you or hold meaning for potential clients. Discover how to attract potential clients by crafting a title that represents who you are what service you provide.
As someone interested in becoming a ‘Coach’, the word itself may not actually resonate with you. In many countries, coaching is still a relatively new term, although it certainly hasn’t slowed down the increasing demands for hiring one. 

The word ‘Coach’ simply may not align with your niche area, your clientele, your community, or even your energy. But no-one says you have to call yourself a ‘coach’ when you’re qualified! 

If ‘Coach’ isn’t the right word for you, what word could you replace it with?

The idea is to capture how you can HELP your clients in a simple title that states what you DO clearly.

Once you’re qualified, registered and insured to work in that capacity, the word ‘Coach’ can be used interchangeably with a title that feels more you're own. But if you don’t first invest in quality accredited and industry recognised training, you’ll stand out by a mile as someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing, and you won’t be in business for long! 

Our comprehensive evidence-based holistic life & mind-body coaching course has everything you need to change lives – most importantly, yours! 

Our students are trained to understand the emotional and physical conditioning of childhood experiences, how to change limiting beliefs, and how to replace the negative self-talk that’s running your life unconsciously! 

We do this through understanding thought patterns, brain education, introduction to positive psychology, and incorporating the mind-body connection to reduce chronic stress and overwhelm and return the body (and nervous system) to inner calm and balance – a truly holistic approach.
