Life Coaching is a professional service in which the coach uses a co-collaborative process to guide the client through self-discovery; helping them clarify a new vision, formulating strategies to helping foster accountability to reach set goals.
Life Coaching and astrology are a perfect fit for a counseling astrologer. The astrologer co-collaborates with the client as both coach and astrologer to achieve goals based on the strengths and challenges seen in the astrology chart. The astrologer now has an on-going coaching relationship with the client rather than seeing the client once or twice a year. Additionally, the astrologer is in the position of being a more effective guide which not only leads to the success of the client this also fosters better client retention.
This course is divided into two 5-week classes. The purpose of the first five weeks is to provide instructions on the fundamentals of Life Coaching for astrologers which includes:
- the four elements of coaching
- how to use the chart to recognize talents and the potential for success along with what is potentially holding the client back concerning achieving their goals
- determining your niche
- how to combine coaching with astrology
- how to support the client
- how to ask the right questions
- setting up the coaching session, practice coaching sessions with peers
- how to be a co-collaborator with the client.
Grading will be done via written quizzes, reading assignments, class participation and practice coaching sessions.
Required books: Links articles and handouts will be provided at the beginning of the course.
