Thinking about becoming a certified coach? It’s a powerful step—but it’s not just about adding a certificate to your profile. The coaching journey goes far deeper. It involves genuine self-reflection, uncovering your patterns, sharpening your presence, and learning how to hold space for others in meaningful ways. It’s not a quick win—it’s a commitment to growth, both for yourself and those you’ll serve.
Consideration – Comparison / Education
Ever catch yourself zoning out in yet another mind-numbing Zoom meeting, wondering if this is really how your life was meant to go? Maybe you’re “job searching” on LinkedIn but mostly just scrolling, hoping the universe drops a sign in your inbox (spoiler: it probably won’t). That restless nudge in your chest? That’s not just burnout—it’s your gut asking, “When are we going to do something that actually matters?”
Now, hear me out—what if coaching is your next move?
And no, this isn’t one of those “manifest your dream life with crystals” pitches. Coaching is real. It’s meaningful. It’s a career. If you’re that friend who always ends up giving advice or helping others see their own blind spots—you’re already halfway there. Coaching just hands you the tools (and yes, an income stream) to level up what you’re naturally good at.
So… Why Coaching?
Let’s face it—the world doesn’t need more life advice. What people really need is someone who listens. Someone who can help them unpack their own thoughts without adding more noise.
That’s where coaches come in. Not to fix people, but to walk with them. No perfection required. Just empathy, presence, and the ability to ask the right questions at the right time.
And yes—it’s a real job. A wake-up-excited-on-Monday job. Coaching gives you flexibility, freedom, and most importantly, the kind of work that actually fills your cup.
Want proof? Take a peek at Deepa Kannan’s profile—she’s been there, done it, and built an incredible coaching career around purpose, not pressure.
Let’s decode the alphabet soup. You’ll hear a lot about ICF—that’s the International Coaching Federation, and they set the global standard for what good coaching looks like.
Here’s the breakdown:
These aren’t just fancy add-ons to your LinkedIn headline. They show clients (and companies) that you’ve put in the reps. That you’re credible. That you actually know what you’re doing. And it’s not just for clout—this training transforms how you lead, listen, and connect across every part of your life.

yes, they check all the ICF boxes while giving you tools that actually work.
Short answer: You, probably.
You don’t need to be a walking TED Talk to become a coach. Some of the best coaches started in mid-career chaos, burnout, or post-corporate soul-searching.
You might be:
You bring the story. Coaching helps you shape it into something powerful. And no, it doesn’t have to be perfect—just yours.
