#9: Why You Shouldn't Get Certified as a New Coach (and What to Do Instead)
In this episode, you will learn why most coaches make the mistake to sign-up for an expensive certification program as the first step to building their coaching business and why you shouldn’t do that. Liz shares a better way to get started as a new coach so you can get initial momentum and build your business fast.
Important Disclaimer: In some countries like Germany, a certification is necessary to set up a business as a coach, however in most countries (US, UK etc.) the coaching profession is not regulated.
