The personal growth expert is responsible for following all those who are looking for a change, personal or professional, and who need someone to guide them both psychologically and practically.
It is a very fashionable profession lately and that often goes hand in hand with the profession of motivational speaker, or one who “speaks to the masses” to propose a new approach to life. To become an expert in personal growth it is not necessary to follow specific studies or have particular certifications: you can have a degree, but it is not essential, you can know a second language but it is not essential, just to mention two elements. What is needed is to be able to understand the needs of those in front of you and to be able to communicate openly and easily with your target audience.
Education
The section dedicated to the study path of a personal coach can contain more or less detailed information on their school training. Training can become a very important element if it is specific and particularly similar to your field of action, so no element should be left out.

References
A motivator and personal growth expert very often works by word of mouth. The references can therefore be important for these professionals, but they must be managed correctly: do not include them in the CV but mention them, in such a way as to make those who view the CV understand that they are available on request.
How to layout a CV as a personal growth expert
A personal growth expert knows well how important it is that the CV is well written and above all well laid out: green light for clear and well-spaced texts among them, fonts that are easy to read and bolds distributed sparingly just to highlight really important elements. Finally, it is good to remember that saving the document in PDF guarantees a correct opening on all operating systems and therefore facilitates recruitment operations.
