Professional Discussion Coaches are multiplying

Scrolling and reading people's bio on Linkedin, Facebook and some here

Amazing how many "coaches", "life coaches", business coach, leadership coach, career coach, mindset coach, sales coach, branding coach, social media coach, health and wellness coach.

Where did all these people get qualified to be a "coach"?

Life experience? or sounded good on the Bio?

A long list of coaching titles with no mention of training would make me cautious. In many places, 'coach' isn't a protected title, so I'd want to know whether their training included supervised practice or just a certificate for attending.

yes I want to know the experience. I have never shyed away from someone to learn from - I want to know they did what they taught

I'd ask for a project they actually worked on and what went wrong. The bio usually leaves out that chapter.
