Well, it’s about time!  The Life Coach Training Guide has been a long time coming, but it’s finally here!  From the home page of www.certifiedcoachesfederation.com you can find the link to receive your copy of the Life Coach Training Guide!  It answers the top 10 questions that everybody has about life coach training courses.   Or to save a step just go to www.LifeCoachTrainingGuide.com and get it now!

Your current beliefs, expectations, habits, feelings and self-talk determine your perspective.  Our perspective has always determined and will continue to determine how we respond to life’s challenges, obstacles and opportunities.  When Benjamin Franklin said “Most people die at 25 and don’t get buried until they’re 75,” he knew that one of the main reasons for this truth (which is just as true today, some 250 years later!) was because most people experience life, and all its challenges, obstacles and opportunities, with an undeveloped perspective of what’s possible.  A great coach can make it happen and a great coach training course should be able to help the coach understand the process.   

Canadian Coaches can avoid paying the new HST tax by registering for any of our Canadian classes before July 1st.  On July 1st the Canadian Government is introducing the new HST tax, which will replace the GST tax, adding an additional cost of 6% to the cost of our course for the majority of our Canadian Coaches.   Register before July 1st and save your money.  To register or learn more about our courses please call 866-455-2155.

If the key to coaching is all about perspective, then what is the key to giving great perspective?  As we’ve been saying now for eons…the best criteria that determines your ability to give perspective (to be a life coach) is your life’s experience and all the events that have happened in your life that has given you the ability to reflect.  Reflection and insight, usually something that happens after an “event” occurs in our life, often leads to an ability to offer perspective.  Is this enough?  No!  It may be enough to get results for sure, but it’s not enough to equip one with the ability to give amazing perspective.  What’s missing? The answer is Inspiration.  When we’re inspired we can discover a heightened ability to see things other states of consciousness just don’t see!  Think about it.  What kind of coach would you want?  I want a coach who is fired up about life and sees life as one gigantic buffet of possibilities.  As you read this blog entry are you inspired.  Is so, great, but if you’re not than perhaps you can ask yourself what “could” you do to become inspired today?  And more importantly, what can you do to remain inspired on a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly basis? 

It’s amazing how many coaching programs get this wrong and waste time in learning ways to categorize people into “blues” or “reds” or “planner” or “creator,” rather than learning how to help them!  Complication in Coaching is as common as spaghetti sauce is in spaghetti!  No wonder so many coaches are wondering how to coach…even after having completed an 8 month, or a year long course and completing an additional 2,500 hour “added value” training.  Is this insane?  Coaching should be simple, not complicated.  Join the discussion and add your two cents!At the time of this blog posting we are beginning to discuss this question on our LinkedIn Group.  Check out: http://www.linkedin.com/home?myGroups=&trk=hb_side_mygrps to join and develop your coaching ability!

There is one word that summerizes how to give perspective.  Do you know what it is?  Well, we’re going to explore many ideas on this topic in our discussion.  On the first week of June we’ll come back to this question and reveal the “one word,” which could be just the answer your coaching practice was searching for!
