I've Got My Coaching Certification. Now What?

Episode summary

Business and happiness often seem like the most challenging aspects to balance together. But, is it so? Through our Positive Psychology Master Coach, we recreate the harmony of business and happiness in life.

In today's episode of our business and happiness podcast sponsored by Life Success Academy, you will discover the answer to the most asked question from those who receive the coaching certification or are willing to accept, "Now what?" I have one of my former students as my guest Kareem Sheta, corporate trainer and Positive Psychology Master Coach, who just started his journey after the certification.

So, what are the aspects he focused on? I had a detailed discussion about what certified coaches should keep in mind while starting their new venture, what kind of goals they should have, and many more things. Tune in to today's episode to find all the answers to your question regarding what to do after being a certified coach.

We explore:
