Episode 265: Do You Have to Be Certified to Coach in 2025?

Feb 26

If you’re thinking about becoming a coach in 2025, listen up.

You’re passionate about helping others, you’ve been through your own powerful transformation, and you know you have wisdom to share.

But then the doubts creep in — Do I need to be certified? Will anyone take me seriously? Can I actually make a living doing this?

People ask me all the time if you have to be certified to coach. The short answer is no, you don’t have to do anything. But if you really want to create massive results and transformations for your clients, proper training makes all the difference.

I’ve seen coaches who try to do it on their own vs coaches who get proper training and the level of conviction, competence, and confidence the latter bring creates massive results for their clients and commands such higher revenues.

When you know how to make changes at the subconscious level, you become a life-changing coach.

You have to ask yourself at the end of the day, are you just playing pretend coach or are you in it for real? Why wouldn’t you want to become the best you can be?

Get ready to hear my unfiltered thoughts on why some coaches struggle to get clients, how to become an industry leader, and the art of mastering your subconscious mind to 10x your results in the newest episode of Euphoric the Podcast.

REFLECTION QUESTION:

What are some subconscious beliefs or patterns that you recognize in yourself that may be holding you back, and how might you begin to reprogram these beliefs?

“When it comes to making massive transformations for your clients, you want to be sure that you can access those levels of the subconscious to be able to actually make those changes instead of just talking over it or asking random questions or listening. Obviously, those are really good skills to have as a coach. But I think it goes deeper. And I think the coaches who really do well and who really grow empires are the ones who understand these deeper layers of change.” - Karolina Rzadkowolska

“At the end of the day, it comes down to, are we playing pretend or are we in it for real-real? And I think that can really be the difference-maker in what you decide to do now when it comes to the regulation. Like I said, this isn't a licensed industry the way a medical industry is. So there's no big bad guy that's coming here. However, you want to be in good standing. You definitely want to understand ethics. You want to know the best coaching standards.” - Karolina Rzadkowolska
