The seedy underbelly of the life coaching industry

 https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20240206-life-coaching-industry-scams

Angela Lauria, 50, discovered life coaching when she was struggling with postnatal depression and had been recently fired from her job. Initially interested in a coaching programme focusing primarily on weight loss, Lauria signed up for a $2,000 (£1,595) retreat. "In the first year alone, I spent $14,000 working with my life coach, and in the years that followed I probably spent $100,000," she says. She also spent thousands of dollars on additional courses and mentorships with other life coaches that her primary coach recommended. "I got sucked into it."

  2. How about all those "Rabbis" who use kabbala to ensnare young women (and men) and then abuse them? And make money from it in the process

    1. It means that life coaching is a business and people can be taken advantage of, whomever arrogates to themselves the position of coach or Rebbe.

  3. Years ago an older man collapsed at the bima after coming up for an aliyah. All the doctors in the shul ran forward and one other guy. We looked up at him and said "Do you have medical training?" "Yes, I'm a life coach!"
