If you’re connecting the dots for a struggling friend, helping a colleague find clarity, or asking a family member the exact questions that unlock their own answers, then you may already possess some of the foundational qualities that effective coaches develop.

If you are naturally doing the work, you may already be doing the job. 

Even with that realization, it is normal to feel a voice inside of you wondering, “Can I really be a coach? Am I actually ready to do it professionally?”

I want you to know that you do not need to be a guru or have an entirely flawless life to help someone else. You don’t have to claim you know everything, nor should you, to be an effective coach.

You just need to be willing to learn the craft. 

We’ve had people from all walks of life enter the Jay Shetty Certification School: teachers, healthcare professionals, stay-at-home moms, CEOs. We've had 3,800 graduates from over 90+ countries – people who felt the same hesitation you might feel, yet chose to take the leap anyway.

Look at Tania, who was working in corporate for a decade before joining us and Cornell, who discovered a brand new chapter through coaching.

Tania and Cornell didn't start out with all the answers either, but they did have a deep yearning to serve and the courage to invest in their own growth. Today, they are certified, professional coaches who do fulfilling work. 

To help you decide if this path is right for you, I broke down the 5 qualities of a coach so you can assess your own alignment with this profession.

If you feel that inner spark, pay attention to your inbox tomorrow. I’ll share how you can take the next step to turn your natural gifts into your dream career.
