What are professional women looking for in a life coach?

I am a life and business coach. I worked as an attorney for twenty years. I believe that there are many boomer professional women out there that are well educated and have pursued their careers diligently.



Now, about 15 to 20 years into it, they feel burnt out and they feel afraid. They rely on their jobs and the income it provides but they are not happy.



I want to hear what issues they are facing and what is on their minds.|||I know someone who calls herself a life coach. She preaches about all these techniques like EFT - Emotional Freedom Technique. She claims to have an advanced degree but there's no record of education to prove it. Her personal situation is pathetic. She has no capacity for planning anything or following through on her goals. She is in severe financial distress and is losing her house due to mortgage foreclosure. Yet, she has continued to schedule some kind of life improvement classes and teach people how to live better lives.



There are women out there who can and do benefit from life coaches. Sometimes all they need is to see their life through someone else's eyes in order to get a better perspective so they can make more informed decisions.



What a life coach needs to be is transparent. A life coach also has to be human and have flaws - and then show that those flaws are not necessarily an obstacle to success. A life coach has to be the example.|||God knows I've had enough of them myself, and I'm a male. Folks seem to be put off by women out there doing the same thing. (We had a question here yesterday asking a definition of a "B-oitch" (sp?)) I answered it that what we call that is a woman who has a male aggression. Is a woman being aggressive wrong? Only if it's wrong for a male. Yes, culturally, there are still many unrecognized discriminations. While I prefer Galatians 3:28 ("There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus"), pretty much everyone else will see a woman and think, "This can't be." The woman will need a life coach around those uncharted waters.|||what has this to do with womensoccer
