MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKING OR LIFE COACHING?

Motivational speaking or Life coaching?

Why not both? If you think about it, becoming a motivational speaker requires self-confidence, self-awareness, the ability to build rapport, and a wealth of great content around which to structure your talks.

That's exactly what you can get from becoming a certified life coach.

MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKING OR LIFE COACHING ... OR BOTH?

Are you passionate about human motivation? Do you feel a deep calling to inspire other people to be the best they can be?

Are you driven to make a real and positive difference in the world?

If so, congratulations. The world desperately needs many more people who are trained, equipped and excited to uplift and transform the lives of their fellow humans.

That burning desire to inspire others to grow, develop and improve their lives is the key driving force behind most people who get into motivational speaking. The same is true for life coaching.

So the issue is not so much about whether you should consider motivational speaking OR life coaching. The issue is about how much more successful you can be as a motivational speaker if you have completed the training to qualify as a life coach.

LIFE COACHING – the perfect foundation for MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKING

Life coaching offers the perfect foundation for anyone interested in motivational speaking.

And motivational speaking is a logical way to expand your reach and business if you are a certified life coach.

Let's get clarity on how motivational speaking and life coaching differ. In understanding the differences it becomes easier to appreciate how they complement each other as careers.

May have a heartfelt desire to bring about change in those he or she addresses but does not assume any personal responsibility for this.
May or may not take a limited number of questions at the end of his or her talk. In answering these, will generally seek to impart clarity and further insight to the audience.
People who attend motivational talks may gain short-term inspiration and motivation to change something in their life.
