172 How to Change Your Career in a Year

Is it possible to train as a coach and become accredited all within a year?

This episode we answer this question and share how to make a significant career shift in just one year.

We explore the process of becoming a qualified coach, offering a structured timeline for training, practicing, and completing a coaching program.

We know that training to become a coach can be challenging to fit in and around your life, and so we explain the flexibility of the process and the opportunity to start building a coaching business while still in training.

There are also broader benefits that come with learning coaching skills—personally and professionally—whether you’re changing careers completely or enhancing your current role.

If you’re setting your goals for the upcoming year and considering training as a coach, this is the episode for you!

Key Highlights:

• Structured coaching programs (Level 5 and Level 7) that can be completed within a year.
• Balancing coaching training alongside current work and life commitments.
• Opportunities to start a coaching business before becoming fully qualified.
• The transformative impact of coaching skills on career growth, personal development, and relationships.
• Encouragement to take intentional action in 2025 and remain open to new opportunities.
