I'm a little bit of a skeptic when it comes to life coaches in general. I've been mentoring people for decades and have done some life coaching myself, but many of the life coaches I've met are…well…let's say they're not quite all they are hyped up to be. That's why when I decided to take and review Kain Ramsay's life-coaching certification course earlier this year, I had my reservations.
Life Coaching Certification Course Review: A Pleasant Surprise
I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed Kain Ramsay's Life Coaching Certification Program and got some great material out of it. I was taken aback by just how much information was in this course, especially given the reasonable pricing.
The description promised 19.5 hours of video, but it took me more than three months to get through everything as it included much more than just the videos. Granted, I was going through the material while working full-time and raising five kids, so I'm sure someone who was doing nothing but this could probably get through it in a week, but in any case, this went way above and beyond what I was expecting.
Beginning or Advanced Life Coaches Will Benefit From Kain Ramsay's Course
Far from a simple goal-setting seminar, Kain Ramsay provides a course in human psychology. Core values, workbooks, frameworks, understanding of human behavior, communication skills, and goal setting; this course covered almost everything I've come across in my practice and then some. Ramsay's style is easy to follow, and he constantly adds material to the course to answer questions from students.
Ramsay sometimes gets a little repetitive, which I expected in a course like this, but I didn't feel like he was overly repetitive. He does a great job setting the foundation which should help new life coaches, then dives into more advanced topics suitable for both new and experienced coaches.
The Bad
The bottom line is that this course does a great job preparing people to be life coaches, which is the objective.
But, on the downside, I wish Kain had focused more on showing new coaches how to get clients because the ability to sell is what makes or breaks any business. The good news is that plenty of other courses teach how to get clients, like the 5-Day Lead Challenge from Clickfunnels, which I recommend to any coaches getting started who want some help getting their first customers.
New Life-Coaching Tools To Put In Your Toolbox
As Ramsay would say, good coaches are like good carpenters. They collect many tools over the years and pull them out when needed. This course will fill your life coaching toolbox with solid insights and workbooks. Ramsay also has a great online community you can join to learn more from other coaches; that alone is worth every penny, in my opinion.
If you want to become a certified life coach or learn the psychology behind why people do what they do, I'd highly recommend checking this one out! Click here for a highly discounted rate on the course.
Five-star rating from me, great job Kain!
