Visit the Web sites of professional associations to learn more news and developments in the field, as well as find out about educational programs and networking opportunities. Find information at sites such as the International Association of Coaching, https://certifiedcoach.org, and the International Coaching Federation, https://coachingfederation.org. A part-time or summer job working in a life coach's office is an excellent way to experience what life coaches do on a daily basis. You can also conduct an information interview with life coaches to find out what got them interested in this profession and what advice they can share with you. Ask your school's career services office for assistance in setting up an interview or two.
