So you've been toying with the idea of becoming a life coach, but you might have some questions.

0:06.8

Like, is it selfish or frivolous to want to become a coach with everything that's going on in the world?

0:12.3

Is it too risky to leave my career for this? Do I have what it takes to make this work?

0:18.5

Is it possible to be a coach without leaving my career? Can I do this

0:22.2

part-time or is there a way to be a coach in another corporation? Is coaching even a real job? Or is

0:28.8

this whole thing secretly a pyramid scheme? I had the same questions when I first started thinking

0:34.1

about becoming a coach a decade ago. It was hard for me to wrap my mind

0:38.7

around leaving my career, which was on the track to become a law professor. I was running a think

0:48.9

But today, a decade later, I'm the founder and CEO of the School of New Feminist Thought. I'm the author of a New York

and it's happening September 15th to 17th. It's designed to help you answer the question, do I really have what it takes to make this coach thing work? When I asked myself that question, I had no way to find out. I just had to jump in. But I don't think as a field, we need to make it so harrowing for people to take the leap. So I've created this prep school to help you learn

2:01.5

more about being a coach and decide if it's right for you ahead of time. Coach Curious is all about

2:07.1

helping you think deeply about the skills, traits, and beliefs you'll need to be a great coach
