[quote=Anonymous]I am a career counselor and so have licensing and credentialing for certain things and my work often overlaps with coaches or former hr types.  Here's the thing.....there are some wonderful career coaches out there but also some who might not be. (Realize people think this about counselors too?) There are a lot of people calling themselves coaches now that was not there 15years ago.

my understanding is you do not have to be licensed but many do a certification program. They go through georgetown locally ( very popular)or the big one in CA - can't remember the org. However, there is no way of knowing qualifications really. Even hard to know track record as all clients private and not xyz corp.

I would be hesitant mainly because she is so pushy. She must not have clients ( or enough) so do you want to be one of the first? I have worked for universities, govt, and private institutions, Private clients. I have never asked anyone for business. All referral-- and direct application for a vacancy.

I understand marketing a business so do not mean that. But if repeatedly asking...would make me nervous. Look at Georgetown's coaching program and call a few on the listbso you get a sense of whatvthey offer, fees, etc. Then speak with this one and if sounds good, you can go for it with confidence.
