What Does it Mean to Call Yourself a Cognitive Behavioral Coach?

What does it mean to be a life coaching professional? Is it a fancy title, a specific skill set, or is it a combination of many different factors? In this video, we're going to flush out and unpack what it means to to call yourself a professional life coach on a ground floor level, on a base level, referring to yourself as a life coaching professional. It means that you engage with clients and you help those clients reach their goals by making meaningful changes in important areas of that person's life.
