Life coach?
Mental health wellness is a thing now I know but the number of people who try to rebrand themselves as life coach is ridiculous.
This is excluding professionals who spent years getting their degree, masters, PhD, clocking in clinical hours in psychology, being a certified professional psychologist, psychiatrist.
Many of these life coach have troubled childhood themselves, goes on to brand themselves as empath, and probably couldn’t adapt so well into their original career choices.
Quick check on LinkedIn and you will find their write up being so wonderful, they give thanks to community, celebrate all small accomplishments and interactions. I will say their are in the business of being an influencer rather than life coach.
I know of a life coach who brand herself as worked through “mind body connection” when she was a sugar baby and she “forms close relationships with top management personnel” means she slept with all her bosses in her midst for career change.
I am really concerned when these life coaches are hired by MOE for school programs. They sell their service as coaching you, your kids, couples into knowing and finding yourself, building confidence and relationship. There’s no third party listening in the sessions, god knows how they could have subtly instil their personal values into our kids!
Have MOE done a good background check on their third party vendors? Ah, I forget, even MOE teachers these days may not have good moral values!
Parents, please be more involved in your kids growing up and don’t be afraid to have difficult conversations. Or even better, go pick up skills to be life coaches as well and be the life coach for your kids!
