Life coach training: Experiences and tips from principal Michael Sorsche - helping people to find their way by asking the right questions, paying attention and working together
Who are you and what is your job?
My name is Michael Sorsche. I run the PHOENIX School in Riedholz near Solothurn. We offer training and further education in all aspects of people - including a diploma in life coaching.
Who is the target group for life coach training?
With the life coach training, we specifically address people who are empathic. In other words, people who can feel other people. In other words, people who want to use their life experience to help other people. As a life coach, it's not about telling others how to live their lives, but about helping people to find their way by asking the right questions, paying attention and working together. To get them back on their path. To get them to continue on their path with courage. To do this, a life coach must be able to both see the other person and give them the chance to be themselves. The life coach helps to release blockages, to find oneself again, to know the path and then to follow it. The training therefore requires a certain openness in approaching other people. They must also know themselves or, at the latest, want to get to know themselves during the training.
Are there admission requirements for the course?
There are no admission requirements for the Life Coach NGL course. You have to be enthusiastic, want to help people and be able to develop yourself. In other words, to work on yourself in order to become a therapist. After all, becoming a therapist is an important part of life coach training. To be able to do something for others, you have to know your own strengths. Then you can also help. However, without being pressed into a mold, everyone should be able to do this in their own way. That's what life coach training is all about: everyone is allowed to be themselves, because you can only help others by being yourself.
What is the content of the Life Coach course?
The life coach has a basic module in which you first get to know yourself. But also the basics of energy work and counseling. You learn how to ask the right questions. As well as the energy technique for self-protection and to walk through life grounded. Another module is called "inner child", where you get to know yourself as a child in order to make peace with it if necessary. Self-healing is also a major topic. Building on this, there are then three advanced modules:
- Kinesiology life coaching - reducing blockages and fears, getting to grips with life with emotional exorcism
- Body practitioner / body balancing coach - massage, body, back and joint corrections to release energetic blockages
- Energetic-systemic life coach - up to family constellations, systemic corrections, can dissolve all blockages in the family or relationships from the side of the person concerned
Everything is aimed at helping other people to live freely again and to be themselves. In this way, things that were regarded as a major medical history disappear because the psychosomatic problem can be recognized and resolved. We can work on this physically or by channeling emotions as in kinesiology or through systemic resolution.
How long does the life coach training course take?
The basic module of the life coach training lasts 8 months. This is followed by the three advanced modules, each of which also lasts 8 to 9 months.
How do I complete the life coach or life coach course?
With life coaches, the degree is very individual. Some people complete the course and then leave. However, here too, the aim would be to complete the course with an exam in order to receive a certificate confirming my acquired knowledge as a certified life coach NGL. This also allows you to become self-employed in Switzerland in the area of life coaching and thus work professionally. The life coach exam is not easy, but passing it gives you the confidence that you are good at what you do.

What makes the PHOENIX School unique in this training program?
The life coach training at the PHOENIX School is completely different from all other training courses in this field anyway. I have many students who have already completed a life coach training course at another educational institute and come to us. They can then work with people who are in a difficult emotional and psychological state that is not good for them. We give life coaches the tools to sense and perceive people. This enables me to work with people as a guide. Not just tell them where to go. Because there are no standard stories, there are only approaches to healing and counseling that the client brings with them. As a life coach, you can therefore respond individually to each client who comes to you and help them where they are or where they want to go. We help, but everyone should live their own life. We clearly put people first everywhere.
What makes Riedholz a training location?
The beauty of our training location is its central position in Solothurn near the forest and close to the River Aare. It is easy to reach from all directions by public transport or car. We have a lot of good contacts here with people who need help. They are also happy to make themselves available for students to practise or work with. We have a network of therapists we can work with. It's a kind of center for good life coach training.
