Understanding your scope of practice or scope of work as a health or life coach is essential in safely working with and supporting your clients. However, many coaches work without any form of scope of practice which can leave them without adequate boundaries in terms of their work as a coach.

In this blog post we’ll be exploring what a scope of practice is for a health or life coach, how to develop one and other elements you need to consider.

Tune in to learn:

• What a scope of practice for a health or life coach is
• How to view and example and why you may already have a scope of practice to work within
• How to develop your own scope of practice
• The other things you need to consider to safeguard yourself and your clients
• How to widen your scope of practice
