Entrepreneur Coaching: Is there a profitable platform in being a "Life Coach"?
AM
AM
Achyut Menon, Search Consultant, Talent Magnet, Career Advisor answered:

The importance of a career, in any professional's life- is perhaps as important as many other assets one acquires during a lifetime. So, if there is scope for a private banker, to help High Networth Individuals -manage their investments across different products ( real estate, bullion, stocks, etc), there is no reason why a "Career Manager' cannot add value.

More so, in a world where the half-life of technology is constantly reducing -the skills relevant for one's journey across each stage of the life cycle of their employment is changing.

Life time employment & Career ladders are passe. With increasing mortality of companies the onus of taking charge of one's career is now squarely on the 'employee'..who is now required to navigate thru the maze-on his own.

Retirement age is receding as our lifespans have become significantly longer. Today most of us have to change multiple careers -not just jobs- even at the risk of working for about 50 odd years, if one seeks to be employed. And there is a huge need for taking inventory of one's skills, transpant some of them -and constantly re-invent in a highly globalised world..

Surely..being a Life Coach can not just add value to many a life- but also provide a great lucrative career for many. And yes, you can collaborate with several other 'similar minded professionals' and monetise the network!

If Tiger Woods needed a coach..we can all do better with one, right !?
