1 Share of the life coach role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the psychic profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Why

Why this move works

A life coach role treats 3 of its required skills as things a psychic already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • give advice on personal matters
  • maintain customer service
  • use consulting techniques

What stands in the way is 9 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 12 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A life coach role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a psychic background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held give advice on personal matters assisting and caring
  • already held assess character management skills
  • already held perform lectures communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held use consulting techniques communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held rhetoric social sciences, journalism and information
  • already held manage a small-to-medium business management skills

All 12 carried skills, including the 3 the life coach role treats as required.

The 3 entries a life coach role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.

Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
