The life-enhancing benefits of being a certified coach with the Spencer Institute will have a huge impact on your professional and personal life. Whether you are exploring coaching or training to further develop your ability to help others, or a quest to refine your sense of purpose, becoming a Spencer Institute certified coach will enhance your life for the better.
Here’s why…
Coaching and Training Clients is Rewarding and Satisfying
This is your opportunity to make a difference and see the impact on other peoples’ lives. As a Spencer Institute certified coach, you will gain immense satisfaction as you help clients develop and achieve their personal, fitness, health, emotional and wellness goals. Working with people who are eager to learn and gain clarity will give you a real sense of purpose.
Coaching and Training will Accelerate Your own Personal and Professional Development
Coaching often takes place in a fast-paced environment that accelerates personal growth. If you enjoy developing yourself and understand the value of ongoing learning, you’ll enjoy being a coach because you’re in an environment that encourages continual growth.
Who do you want to become…. a trainer or a coach?
How do you define the difference?
This is our perspective:
When you train someone, you are generally instructing clients on what to do, how to do it, how often to do it, and what equipment/tools/software to use. This “advice” is based on science, research, evidence, history and observation from the trainer. Our NESTA division is focused more on this area of expertise.
When you coach someone, you are asking more questions. You are asking for feedback. You are understanding motivational strategies. You are listening far more than you are speaking. You are determining how the client understands themselves, and how they move towards – or away – from what they want or don’t want. You are a sounding board. The Spencer Institute division is focused more on this area of expertise.
NOTE: There are other definitions of training and coaching that are also valid. This is just a quick outline. And, as you can tell, there are aspects of training and coaching that overlap. This is one reason why we emphasize that trainers will want to learn coaching, and coaches should understand elements of training as well. The type of learning (certifications) is based on your goals and niche market focus.
So, the big question….. what does all this mean to you?
It’s important to know the difference, and it’s great to be able to have the skills of both. Trainers without excellent coaching skills fall short with communication. Coaches (health, wellness, lifestyle, sleep, nutrition) who don’t have training skills in fitness (as one example) can only offer coaching in a limited capacity.
Why not have an incredibly well-rounded set of skills?
Your clients will get better results, and you can generate more revenue by offering more serves and appealing to more people.
You will Flourish in an Expanded Professional Network and Community
One advantage of becoming certified with Spencer Institute is the personal and professional relationships that you will develop. Success today is largely dependent on the size and strength of your personal and professional network. The more people you get to know – and who get to know and like you – the better for your long-term financial success and professional development. As a Spencer Institute coach or NESTA trainer, you will have the tools and confidence to instantly expand your network. And you will be a part of our professional network.
Your Personal Coaching Business/Career Offers Unlimited Growth
There are an estimated 75,000 coaches practicing in 75 countries, and the coaching industry continues to grow at a rate of approximately 20% per year. These numbers indicate a huge demand for coaches of all types. It’s not over-saturated. There is still a huge lack of qualified coaches. You can now fill that need. We will assist you each step of the way.
Flexibility to Live and Work Where You Want
Because coaching or training can be facilitated over the telephone, or with the use of Zoom or FaceTime, actual geographical location is completely flexible. A coaching practice can be 100% portable, and gives freedom in travel and work options. With your Spencer Institute coaching certification(s), you can work from the comfort of your home office. If a traditional home office isn’t right for you, you will have the freedom to take your office on the road, and work and help clients from literally anywhere in the world. This free guide shows you exactly how you can live and work anywhere once you are certified.
