The Spencer Institute for Life Coach Training Provides Help to Move Past Tough Economic Times

Rancho Santa Margarita, CA, January 14, 2010 --(PR.com)-- As the country emerges from tough economic times, more and more people are seeking the help of life coaches to help them maximize their potential. The life coaching industry is growing as people are seeking professional guidance to cope with the stresses of life, and to live life to the fullest. The Spencer Institute for Life Coach Training offers students the opportunity to make a difference and have a thriving career in the personal development industry.

The coaching profession is growing rapidly worldwide. According to the U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics, the specific area of human development and consultancy, of which coaching is included, is expected to grow extensively through 2016. The approximate worldwide revenue produced per year by coaching is $1.5 billion. Full- and part-time coaches earn an average of $50,510 per year. Full-time coaches earn an average of $82,671 per year, and part-time coaches earn an average of $26,150 per year.

“It is surprising to see how the field of life coaching has grown in recent years,” says Spencer Institute founder, Dr. John Spencer Ellis. “I am proud to offer education and certification programs so we can grow the economy and enhance people’s lives. There is nothing more rewarding than helping others realize and attain their goals,” he adds.

The Spencer Institute’s life coaching curriculum teaches its coaches specific techniques to help people gather information, organize their thoughts, define priorities, reduce distractions, focus on results and live the life of their dreams. This is done by utilizing a wide array of tools such as NLP (neuro linguistic programming), Hemispheric Integration, wellness concepts, stress management, elements from sports psychology, extensive questionnaires and assessments. Ellis emphasizes, “The client’s goals and values are always most important in the coaching process. Unlike a personal trainer who imparts advice and gives a specific protocol; the coach is there to listen, become a sounding board, and evoke the excellence that already exists in the client.”

It seems life coaching is here to stay. Although not everyone will seek the expertise of a trained coach, those who do, overwhelmingly report better than expected results. It’s important for you to find a coach that fits well with your goals and personality.
