Amazing Coaching DIY Manual

Price: 27.00

Who else is a life coach, teacher, trainer, mentor or passion professional and needs MORE clients? Do you have tons and tons of passion and natural expertise, yet struggle to find people to pay you for your gifts? Have you been ripped off, scammed or just downright disappointed with the online marketing strategies you’ve tried so far? Are you fed up with trying to get fans, friends and followers on Facebook and social media….and know there MUST be a better way?

The truth is, if any of the above sounds familiar, the GOOD news is, you are not alone!

More than any other group of people, “coaches”, or those who value CONTRIBUTION as much as cash, struggle to find a home online. (mostly because of the get rich quick “gurus”, and the new age nonsense that masquerades as marketing mentorship wherever we look).

I’m going to give you a super simple system that WILL revolutionize your business in the next 30 days if you apply it. I don’t want you to take my word for it, though… instead, I challenge you to be SKEPTICAL, and if it resonates with you, apply the ideas to your own business and watch it grow.

Ready?

I call this entire system “The Content Community Continuum”, and it works through incorporating 6 simple steps.

1. You need:
2. Content (articles like this one)
3. Character (your public personality)
4. Community (your subscribers)
5. Conversation (your email sequence)
6. Curriculum (your coaching offer)
7. Conversion (the process by which your turn strangers into subscribers, and subscribers into sales!)

That’s the whole thing…..and it works in any niche under the sun like magic, and it WILL work in yours.

How does it look when executed?

Very simple.

You create content that is designed to create a community. (build your list).

You create a conversation with your community that deepens your relationship, rapport and genuine trust.

You create a curriculum, or coaching offer that is appealing to a small subset of your overall community. (You only need to convert 2-5% of your list into clients to do VERY well in most markets…..most “gurus” sell less than 1/2 of 1 percent).

That’s it. If you write 4 articles like this one a day, and follow all of the steps above, you WILL have your first clients in LESS than 30 days…..I 100% guarantee it. Remember, this article took ME about 12 minutes to write, and I’m doing it while watching the last episode of “Dexter” in the background and eating leftover thai food from yesterday. All of this can be done 100% PART time……and with 2012 only a few short weeks away, the time to start is NOW!

A Leader’s Life Purpose Handbook: Calling and

Price: 23.99

My first role as a Trainee Manager for a bank in the 1980′s exposed me to the traditional hierarchical management style that predominated. My manager’s office stood high above us and overlooked our working area. He had huge internal windows which enabled him to glare at us all day without leaving the sanctuary of his room.

How things have changed and rightfully so.

Today, successful managers operate a coaching style, continually developing their teams and unleashing their people’s ability and skills. Coaching is particularly effective at developing people, discarding the reliance on classroom training and putting development on the job, where it belongs.

One barrier I have witnessed in many companies I’ve worked with, is the manager’s confusion as to what is coaching and how coaching can be used as the ultimate tool for developing people. Everyone has their opinion but most agree that pure coaching is where the team member has all the answers, has the ability and once made aware, determines their own solutions. This fits very well in a text book, but not so well in a bustling, stressful, deadline oriented retail customer facing environment. Here, we want more flexibility, indirect and direct coaching. Let me show you in the Coaching Swingometer.

Made famous by the BBC, their election Swingometer found out how vote swings between political parties could affect the outcome of the General Election.

In the same way, our coaching Swingometer can plot the person you’re coaching and can help you decide the variety of coaching that should be used given the situation you’re facing. Let me explain.

Below is the Coaching Swingometer.

On the left side of the Swingometer is direct coaching or push coaching, which is tell mode coaching, more one to one training than coaching. Suitable when the team member wants some help or guidance or needs to be shown how something works or how to speak with a customer or handle an irate customer.

As we move to the right we let go as coaches, encouraging more responsibility and awareness with our team member, helping them to decide their next steps. We use feedback tools to help the team member develop, we support their decisions, use tools such as GROW and head towards indirect coaching or pull coaching.

The Swingometer can swing during one coaching session. For example a team member comes to you asking for some help on handling a particularly irate customer in the foyer. It’s so easy to brush them aside and go and pacify the customer yourself. But good coaching empowers the team member by unlocking their ability to handle the situation. You might start your instant coaching session by giving them some pointers and ideas, and follow up with a question as to how they’re going to handle the customer, what are they going to say and empower them that way.

Another example is a new programme on the system. You start by doing some one to one training in the branch with your team member, showing them how it works, demonstrating. Then you might follow up with some mock exercises and ask how they’re going to use the system to help them give a better service to our customer.

You might be conducting and 1:1 with a team member to determine their learning goals for the following quarter. Here you would go straight to the right hand side of the Coaching Swingometer and operate the GROW model in a purely indirect fashion, so they completely own the decisions they make.

My manager back in 1983 hadn’t even heard of coaching let alone any other style of management. To a degree neither had we, the team members. But teams have changed in the 2010′s, the majority of people working in customer facing retail environments are Generation Y’s and late Generation X’s. These generations know about coaching or its components and seek out an inclusive, empowering management style. They were brought up by parents who involved them in all family decisions and need this culture to continue in the workplace. These generations have all the information at their fingertips they could dream of, so probably know more than their manager, they want to be able to use it practically and continually learn and develop on the job.

Our teams have changed so must we, and the Coaching Swingometer can help you determine the style of coaching you operate for any eventuality in a customer facing environment.

Description: Cinema both reflects life and contours life—that is its psychological power. And for decades, clinicians and educators have recognized the value of this power, using it to respectively heal in therapy and educate in the classroom. The Cinematic Mirror for Psychology and Life Coaching mines the illustrative value of cinema, offering therapists and life coaches access to ideas that can motivate and enlighten clients. Although many movie guides exist, this volume complements the available literature by adding positive psychology, mental health, and wellness perspectives to the clinical/educational/coaching mix. The serious intent to cull from cinema its underlying psychological value has motivated noted clinicians, life coaches, and cultural critics to offer science-based analysis and intervention strategies. Readers may add their own movie insights and professional expertise to this rich foundation. The volume covers international as well as domestic cinema in a variety of genres, providing a range of film choices relevant to clients’ lives. Beyond this, it expands on universal concepts of strengths, capabilities, and coping methods. Chapters in The Cinematic Mirror : analyze how movies can create and relieve trauma, challenge Hollywood’s portrayal of the American family, overview the use of movies to examine relationships in therapy, explore the acclaimed Up television cinema verite series as studies in personal growth and social change, reinterprets images of disability in terms of positive psychology, examines models, or the lack thereof, for the American adolescent rite of passage, traces the history of mental illness stereotypes in film. The collective wisdom found in The Cinematic Mirror for Psychology and Life Coaching will bring professionals involved in healing, coaching, counseling, education, and mentoring not only new applications but new appreciation for the transformative power of film. That power already exists. Readers just have to “SEE” it.

“Duh!” you say, “Isn’t it brutally honest if someone is unfulfilled?”

They are depressed. They are unhappy. They are standing on the ledge ready to jump.

On the contrary, my friend.

They are the moms in the drop-off line. They are the dads sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic holding their Starbucks travel mug. They are the neighbors with the beautiful house overlooking the golf course with the BMW in the driveway. They are your server at Denny’s handing over your Grand Slam breakfast.

For the record, do I think that all stay-at-home moms, working dads, well-to-do suburbanites and servers are unfulfilled in life?

No.

My example was simply to say that the majority of those suffering from feelings of being unfulfilled in life are those you least expect.

Hell, most of them don’t even realize they are unfulfilled in life!

I didn’t even know I was until my mid-30′s.

I had these little feelings…twinges of “Hmm, why can’t I find a job I like?” “Why do I seem to have a good life, but I want more?” “Why am I always wanting the next big thing?”

…then the biggie came after dealing with life throwing rock after rock at me…”Is this my life?”

Thankfully, I decided to take action, explore some of what I was feeling, worked with coaches and realized that all those feelings were simply being unfulfilled in the life I had created for myself.

After working on myself more, I released the guilt of realizing that and decided to take what I had built and make it more meaningful…more purposeful.

I didn’t abandon my family, I didn’t hit the “reset” button, I simply got rid of what I didn’t like and started to add, little-by-little, things that I had always desired…and not the material crap that acted as an “aspirin” to a bigger issue! (A-hem…someone please notify the “Housewives of (Insert City)” of this lesson!).

I ditched the job that was affecting me mentally and emotionally.

I moved to a place I had always wanted to live.

I started a business from home doing what I loved and that I was good at.

I stopped settling for what life gave to me and started creating what I wanted life to give me.

Here’s the thing…it’s not always easy to do. There have been challenges ditching my old life for a more inspired life, however, I now recognize the lessons I can learn from the challenges and implement those lessons to move forward. I am smarter and tougher because of these challenges.

My family is stronger than it ever was because I am more fulfilled, and quite honestly, for a time there, I wasn’t sure my family would stay in tact.

My sphere of influence is expanding rapidly with others who are inspired and building on their purpose…it keeps me inspired during the challenging times.

My vision for life is something I believe so strongly in, whereas, years ago, I’d have a “hope” or a “dream” of a life, but it was followed by a thought of, “who are you to make that happen now?”

I’m grateful I’ve figured that out now.

I no longer accept being unfulfilled in life.

When I find an area that needs fixin’, I fix it.

When I find an area I love, I do more of it and expand on it.

It is normal to have those twinges here and there. Those little nudges that something isn’t right somewhere in your life. Call it what you will, but listen to it!

It’s there nudging you because something needs to be altered…something ain’t completely right.

Make it right!

It doesn’t have to be as scary as a drastic life change. It doesn’t mean that you are a failure in life.

It simply means that it’s time to adjust your course so you can get back on track.

It’s normal, but it’s only when recognizing and taking action that you can make the adjustments!

So you want to turn your life around, but time is soaring by and you’re not soaring anywhere. This exact scenario is what leads most people to life coaching.

There is a wealth of information available in self-help books and videos, on personal development blogs and web sites; as well as, through friends and associates. However, moving from “learning it” to “living it” is easier said that done.

When it comes to actually making the shift that’s necessary to turn your life around, many people feel stuck. It’s as if all the knowledge that’s been absorbed just can’t push past some invisible mass of resistance that’s blocking the way forward.

Some people struggle their way through the arduous, time-consuming task of moving through this block and making big changes alone; while many others simply give up and accept defeat. Still, there are others who seek out a life coach as a way to get the maximum benefit in a much more reasonable time-and with their sanity still in-check.

If you’re wondering what makes life coaching worthwhile, these 3 techniques that life coaches use to help you turn your life around will serve as a mini-preview of this amazing profession.

3 Ways a Life Coach Can Help You Turn Your Life Around

1) Asking the right questions.

Unlike therapists, consultants and mentors; life coaches do not specialize in giving you answers on how to fix your life. Instead, they help you change your life by asking powerful questions that open your eyes to the blind spots in your life. You may be thinking, “I’m already self-aware. I don’t have any blind spots. ” Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Everyone has blind spots. Without them, you’d find yourself moving forward on every single dream that you’ve ever had. Nothing would stand in your way, life would be one phenomenal story after another, happiness would never elude you and you wouldn’t be reading this article.

The blind spots uncovered through a coach’s powerful questioning techniques may include information you’ve managed to hide from yourself, lies that you don’t realize you’re telling yourself, fears that keep you in your comfort zone and beliefs that make your life less manageable.

These questions, which don’t have easy answers, will help you to tap into new truths that unveil what’s been holding you back. The best part about this is the impact of what comes up. Because the answers come from within you (the client) rather than being given to you by the coach, are more likely to resonate with you in a way that feels both natural and transforming.

2) Challenging your assumptions.

Everyone sees the world according to their own unique map of it, but most people assume that this map is THE reality. For every person, there is something that feels absolutely true despite the fact that it’s an assumption.

A life coach will listen attentively to you in order to find out what unhelpful assumptions you’re holding as your reality. She or he will challenge these assumptions, opening the door for you to release those that are keeping you from moving in the direction of your dreams.

3) Values Based Goals

People who consider hiring a life coach generally have goals in place that they have been thinking about or working toward. But life coaching isn’t just about working your butt off to achieve a goal. It is about setting goals that align with your personal values and life purpose.

A good life coach knows that working against your value system, or working on goals that you only think you’re doing for the right reasons, is often grueling and disappointing. As a part of the life coaching process you can expect to discover your personal values, set values-based goals, and celebrate successes on accomplishments that are in alignment with your Inner Self.

As you can see, a life coach can help you to close the gap between knowing how to change your life and actually making it happen. If you really want a way to turn your life around, this may be the answer you’ve been waiting for.
