Hello and welcome. I’m Wendy Buckingham.
I created this information site because after 20+ years coaching and mentoring new coaches, it was time for a new direction and way of contributing.
I love to simplify and educate so now I'm sharing through Life Coaching Professionally what I have learned, often through trial and error, in those years of coaching experience and many more years in the university of life and from the wisdom of my colleagues.
Maybe you’ve looked at lots of websites offering different information life coaching information and soon realised that their agenda was not so much to give information on becoming a life coach but with an agenda to get you to sign up as a client or to enrol you in a training.
So, if you are now looking for some truly independent and reliable guidance on the best path to take to become a great coach, or to add coaching skills to your job or profession, you’ve now come to the right place to learn all about life coaching from the Quicklinks above - without any strings attached.
