life coaching

[suzieE]

I am certified Master life coach and considering to locate to Finland. Asking for opinion of those who already live in Finland, do I have any chance in finding clients? thanks.

Do you speak Finnish? 92% of Finnish population does...

[rinso]

And 7% speaks Swedish.
And from the foreign language group Somali and Russian are the main languages.
So you look at your own language skills and do the maths.

Well, actually I am Finnish and speak it fluently. Back to my question?

No, now we go in question "why you ask in here then". If you are finnish and speak finnish you can google oppoturnities and ask them. Also if you really speak finnish then there is much better places to ask, even murobbs is better than this forum.
I would say whole "life coaching" is a fraud and people advertising it or working on it should be killed with fire and bombs and then thrown in volcano, is that good answer to you?
There is people doing business with that !"#¤% so its possible but why you dont contact them yourself?

Is that got to do with lifeboat certifications or what?

You would have a better chance at getting some useful answers if you gave the relevant information already at the start.
Another tiny detail could be where you are planning to move. Are you aiming for Helsinki or Rovaniemi or Mariehamn? That may make a tiiiny bit of difference.

Get back to us when you have thought things through a little bit and then maybe you could get some useful info about what your chances are.

Woooooah! Thank you for all comments. Well,this is what I call the negativity overboard. For that one might truly need a lifeboat!
You are defeneately right, forums are not the place to ask for any kind of human advice, 'cause you get eaten alive by all kinds of dogs, wolves, hounds...
What I can tell you is: seriously look at your own life and ask yourself if your unhappiness is something necessary to be spread around? I would recommend you to get into therapy and release the baggage from past - do you find Finland is making you unhappy? These things are inside you. You cannot escape yourself even if you moved to the moon. Wishing you all the best as the advice giver in this forum.

I had a friend who is now taking lectures to be a life coach while living with family in Singapore. Life coaching has been very popular in Singapore, China and elsewhere. I am not sure if it is same hot here. By some experience I had short contact with social advisors in hospital and district family advisors. I guess they are type of life coaching in some extend? Suzie, if you have been with coaching work for long, you probably can share some of your experience here. Also about how to learn into this profession and difference between Finnish proactise compare with elsewhere...
