Hey Shell,
That's great news that you are looking to take that path.... Not only will you meet lots of motivated and energentic people in that industry, you will learn skills you get to keep for life and help others with daily... I like it

As they say " You are who you become by the people you surround yourself with", so I think that will be well worth looking into...
If anyone in the forums finds any useful links in google or other search engines regarding Life and Business Coaching in the UK, be sure to share them with Shell.
I will dig up a few contacts and a couple of groups I'm associated with for you to try and get in contact with over the next few days....
Great Stuff, Let us know how u go also with your own research...
I think an Association of some type will be the best source for finding all the possible avenues you could take in that industry.. With any luck they will have access to a complete listing of all the Life/Business Coaching resources and people in your area....
Keep smilin

Talk soon
