By: Dr. Michael J. Duckett | - I have a secret to share with you. The secret is about yourself and how this article could be a turning point in your life. This is why I want to offer you a proper explanation.
Could you imagine any professional athlete wanting to win the game but only willing to play 50% of the individual's full capacity? What about a Mother caring for a baby only willing to take care of the infant 50% of the time? What about any successful person asking, "Can I only put 50% of my effort toward my d ...

- Life Coaching Sydney
By: Janet McNally | - Valentines Day (Dread or Love?)
For some of us out there we are coming to that dreaded time of year: Valentines Day or Sad-Times Day as I like to call. In honour of the occasion, I've decided to step into my desired writer persona, Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw for the rest of this article.
Sad-Times's Day can bring trauma to many out there (women in particular). Why? Because they think that there's a stigma to being single. This isn't help by some of those around ...

By: Janet McNally | - Do You Need A Life Coach For Personal Development?
There comes a point in everyone's life where we are stuck. Our lives need a serious makeover. Some define it as "being in a rut" or "caught in a funk".

- Is "accountability" Your Own 4-letter Word?
By: Andrea Feinberg | - With thousands of hours of coaching conversations, I've learned the secret to success with my clients: it's my job to help them uncover their true values and priorities; it's their job to take the actions that will honor and be consistent with those values and priorities. I help them and they help them! That's how this partnership works for both parties: the coach enjoys the satisfaction of seeing clients grow into their own best life and business; the client enjoys the results.

By: suzan schmitt | - Are you a cause or effect person when it comes to growing your coaching business and doing what it takes to make that happen? You can tell which side of the fence you fall on by listening to what you say.

By: suzan schmitt | - The single most effective way to get many coaching clients quickly is to speak or do a workshop. Your presentation must be created with purpose and a goal.

- Business Coaching: Change That Makes A Difference
By: Chris Robertson | - A friend of mine has an interesting philosophy: that every person is right about half the time and wrong about half the time. My friend's perspective has given me food for thought over the years, because I'm generally the type of person who takes a position and tends to dig in. I can convincingly and vociferously argue my point of view, substantiating it with examples and "facts," until the proverbial cows come home. What I began to realize, though, was that for every person I converted to my wa ...

- Coaching Business: Answering The Tough Questions For A New Coach
By: suzan schmitt | - Marketing and networking are difficult for new coaches because they are not familiar with marketing and they are fearful of questions that people are likely to ask them about their business. People are going to ask, What does a coach do, How long have you been coaching, How many clients do you have, and How much do you charge.
All of these are challenging questions for a new coach if they have not constructed good answers to the potentially embarrassing questions. These are al ...

- Networking For Coaches Who Hate Networking
By: suzan schmitt | - When I mention networking many of my clients get a sour look on their face, pull away from the conversation, and cross their arms and legs. The word networking brings to mind a room full of fake smiles, lightly veiled sales pitches, and cold food. Not the most inviting thought for a coach who wants to help other people become more and have a full life.

Networking does not have to be that way for you. Networking is what you make it so make i ...

- Do You Have An Irresistable Offer?
By: suzan schmitt | - Who does not like to get an invitation? Invitations are great because they are usually an offer to be a part of something; they make you feel welcome, appreciated, and wanted. Most of the time an invitation means you are going to be a part of something that is fun and free. As a coach, you need to have an invitation for people to learn more about you and how they can benefit from your services.

I'll take into consideration one planetary "cycle" only (this is properly called "Planetary Return" in Astrology), because it explains by itself a lot of what happens in the financial world at a macro level.

- Coaching Business Marketing With Networking That Works
By: suzan schmitt | - Strategic alliance partners are an effective tool for success and attract qualified clients. To be an effective at networking you must find some strategic alliance partners to work with. Strategic alliance partners are in businesses that appeal to the same target client that you are looking for. For example, a weight loss or fitness coach could become allied with a nutritionist, fitness trainer, and massage therapist. Find three or four people who you feel you can give referrals to and that ...

Do not you just hate that and does it not make you crazy wondering what went wrong? It could be because your session was not carefully designed to help them see how coaching with you will help them.
Introductory coaching sessions are not the same as regular coaching sessions.

By: Matt Somers | - There has been more debate about the distinction between coaching and mentoring than most other facets of Human Resource Development put together. I don't want to add to the debate because in my view to the coachee or the mentee the difference is largely meaningless as long as they are getting the help they need. However since this article is about clarity, I will attempt to draw out the differences between the two so that you personally are clear and so you have an intelligent answer should any ...

By: Matt Somers | - Managing versus Coaching
It is difficult to decide on a single definition of the word management and this is not helped by the modern trend in organizations to label almost everything and everybody as management in some way. Arguably, everybody in an organization is a manager to the extent that management is about deploying resources to get the job done, however, most would agree that a manager in an organization has some degree of responsibility for people and some say in how tho ...

By: Matt Somers | - Lot's of people are discussing coaching these days, but what does it mean? Isn't it what sports managers do? Well it might be, but these days sports managers seem to have an army of separate defence coaches attack coaches and so on, so that's not a helpful comparison. Perhaps you know someone who's consulted a Life Coach or read a life coaching, self-help type book. There might be a useful definition to be extrapolated from life coaching, but in a business context we've rarely the time or the qu ...

- The Manager As Coach
By: Matt Somers | - There is no doubt in my mind that managers can coach. Whether managers should coach is a different matter. The dilemma can sometimes be resolved by appointing people with a specific coaching role. Other times it makes more sense for managers to include coaching in their skill set despite the difficulties that this can throw up.
The trick is for us to understand some of the tensions created by acting as coach and manager to the same group of people. Let's look at some specific issu ...

- The Basics Of Coaching
By: Matt Somers | - Ask anyone to define the word coach and you will get a wide variety of responses. Some will say a coach is a sort of tutor or instructor, but others will say it's a large, multi-wheeled railway carriage. Unfortunately, the second definition is about as helpful as the first in deciding what coaching at work is all about.
To receive 'coaching' and to be a 'coach' are both very popular terms right now but they are both widley misunderstood. Coaching is ultimately about raising the le ...

By: Kim Richardson | - Everyone is leery of the unknown. Some of our potential therapy clients have concerns. These people need your product or service, but you must convince them that you can be trusted and they should work with you. Often their concern comes from a limited understanding of what you do.

In fact, E.I. may determine as much as 80% of a person's life success. Cognitive ability or what we call I.Q. is only about 20%. Quality leadership training is a combination of E.I. and cognitive ability.
