Atul’s Answer

Based on what you have done so far - I suggest pursue Insurance industry or become a Financial Planner or Advisor.
You will have to pass exams to become CFP.
The good news is that you know what you do not want to do.

Pamela’s Answer

You can become a Reading Specialist in Florida; teach virtually or on-line or work for a foundation that has targeted programs like Success for All, you can tutor or join a non-profit and help with a specific cause. Your coaching skills can help encourage someone who does not know how to read. Perhaps you should limit the age you will teach to 21+ perhaps you find programs where learning to read is a requirement, that should serve as the motivation for timely attendance and attention; if you enjoy learning foreign languages teaching someone from another country how to reach could be a win/win - learn their language in return? Sounds like you have a lot to give!

Hi Emily,
What about a role in HR? Perhaps leveraging your coaching skills as part of a learning and development team or an an HR business partner could be on interest to you. People development on the job is a big area where you could be researching and coaching about career development or even leveraging your conflict resolution skills- where there are people there are challenges and opportunities! Look for job descriptions that include the skills you enjoy doing to find a good fit.
Best of luck!

It appears you're looking for a part-time gig in lieu of full-time employment. I would suggest teaching English as a Second Language. This will provide maximum flexibility including an online opportunity.
