Wendy Buckingham Life Coach

So how did All About Becoming a Life Coach come about?
I’m Wendy Buckingham and I’ve been an International Life Coach and author for over 15 years – time for a new challenge don’t you think?

Surfing the net for inspiration, I discovered that there is loads of information available about life coaching, in all its applications.

However, many of the sites providing that information have a primary agenda of promoting a specific training school or credentialing organization.

So I was inspired and got busy to fill the gap!
The information on this site has been compiled from my own experiences, the good and the difficult; and the research, wisdom and experiences of many of my coaching colleagues.

You'll find that there are many points of view around coaching and I’ll try to keep my own preferences and opinions out of it - but can’t promise this will always be the case.

You may be attracted to the idea of creating the ideal work and life balance for yourself as a coach or working from home. Maybe you want to set up your own coaching consultancy, or want to look for executive coaching jobs. The information inside this site will help you!

I don't claim to know it all! And I’m not so conceited as to think I have all the answers. This site is a live work in progress, so you’ll have the opportunity to comment and contribute some of your own experiences, knowledge and wisdom. You will see plenty of opportunities throughout the site.

My goal is to host one of the most comprehensive independent coaching information sites on the planet.

So let’s get on with it then. Remember, I've made it easy for you to start by checking the links on the right side of this page.

I look forward to hearing from you as you continue the journey...

And if you think I might be a good match for you as a coach you'll find details of how I coach and my fee structure

You can also check out my background on this site at the About Wendy page.
