Is there such a thing as a life coaching cult? Yes, but they're exceedingly rare.
Notable examples: Lighthouse (see the BBC podcast series "A Very British Cult" and arguably Scientology).
Yes, your girly loves a good cult documentary. 🤣
So rest assured, if you sign up for help to stop yelling at your kids, it's extremely unlikely you'll end up living in a dorm, eating a mango-only diet, and shaving Dear Leader's butt hairs.
But that doesn't mean that you can't ask great questions and be an informed consumer when looking for a life coach.
If you've heard that life coaching is unregulated and anyone can hang out a shingle, YOU'RE RIGHT!
So on this week's episode of Climb Your Mountain, I show you how to find a coach who helps you get results while empowering you as a person.
We'll dive into:
🤓 How coaches are trained and regulated (or not)
🤓 The levels of damage an unethical coach can do (from outright abuse to merely wasting your time and money)
🤓 How to get a feel for a coach's approach and style before you approach them
🤓 Useful questions to ask on the free consult
🤓 Red flags to watch for in a coaching relationship
