There are lots of ways to get started in this field. Many start as coaches. Some get started helping out their local church groups. Today you can even start out as a blogger, which is a great way to see if your ideas are helping people.
It's a myth that you need massive credentials, since the field is really about helping people grow, not making yourself a superstar. I know many peope who are making a decent living from their work w/o credentials to speak of. In fact, some of the best PD speakers have what might be considered negative credentials. For example, I'm a convicted criminal who was expelled from school. Another very successful person I know in the field was a drug dealer.
