About Yoel Farkas Corporation Ltd.
I mentor and coach men to take action to recover from their divorces utilizing the method that I used to get on the road to recovery following my divorce. My method is unique in that it combines personal development actions and therapy (I do not do the therapy myself) to make the process quicker (via personal development) and more impactful (via therapy). I started it after realizing that other men can benefit from the method that worked for me. I invested in a program that assists coaches with starting coaching programs.

You do not need to be perfect or an expert to start as a coach. Yes you should work at your craft and master it as much as you can, but this is not a prerequisite for getting started. You do need a passion and enthusiasm for what which you are coaching and also bring personal experience because if you’re not authentic, clients will not connect with you.
