Employment Opportunities with Bridges Coaching
Mar 12, 2026
Recently, I received an inquiry from a Coach Training alumnus curious about working for Bridges.
Here's a version of my reply:
I do remember you 😊 and I’m honored you are using your coach training and reaching out.There are basically two options available for Bridges alumni who have completed both trainings. (So you would need to add the Next Level Training to your Life coach Certification to move forward.)The first option is to be listed on the Associate Coaches page. Basically, this is a space to “hang your shingle” and begin coaching professionally. We don’t provide clients, or scheduling, or handle payment, the page listing is simply a space that shows you are aligned with something bigger than just yourself for a small annual fee. The upside is that coaching is a fairly unregulated business so it is fairly simple to launch, but you would still need to get an LLC and set up a legal business. The downside is that while I often encourage my blog readers to be coached and check out our Associate coaches, the responsibility for recruiting clients falls almost entirely on the coach. So, if you are a good recruiter this is a great opportunity without having to make your own website etc., but if you aren’t sure if you can acquire clients it could be a difficult journey.[Just wanted to offer full disclosure there. But if you are a person people regularly look to, it could be a simple onramp to start offering coaching sessions. If people regularly want to meet with you, purchasing your time and attention could be a welcomed next step for them and for you!]The second opportunity is to facilitate coach training. Again, you would need the Next Level Training, and again you would most likely need to recruit trainees, but it is a quite fulfilling experience and the pay is pretty good. We offer a step-by-step facilitators guide and support through the process. I can share more details when you complete the next training if you choose to go that route.Other options could be for you to take your current training and use it in a field where it would have value. Many communities host support offering organizations that value coach training for use as a case worker or even a life coach. You can check out opportunities on LinkedIn. I know of an alumni who works at homeless ministry and just loves it. Another one works in a crisis pregnancy center. Many organizations are looking for trained life coaches. Just some ideas there.May God guide you in your next steps. My heart is warmed that Bridges came to mind as an org you would want to align with!Building Bridges,Cindy
