Life Coaching

There are some outstanding life coaching programs out there and they are typically aimed at the high achievers who can afford their very high prices. They do get results. Those good programs have the coach readily accessible to work directly with you and hold you accountable to doing specific activities. Other coaching programs or coaches simply listen, give advice, and make suggestions.

Many coaches offering life coaching services are relying purely on their own life experiences, which can be invaluable as far as they go. It is important to know that just because you were good at something does not mean you are good at coaching or teaching that skill. These coaches may not be working with you to break old patterns and create new ones. They are expecting you to simply take their advice and act on it. If it were that simple, people wouldn’t need coaches or coaching programs because they could simply buy an inexpensive book or take a cheap course to get the knowledge they need. It isn’t the knowledge alone that you need.

Life coaching is about getting the person to do what they need to do. Ultimately, that responsibility lies on the individual, but life coaching should involve the coach providing everything in his or her power to coach the person into taking the action not simply providing the knowledge or teaching a specific skill.

Our life coaching uses the terminology I developed, applying HEAT. Our coaching is about teaching knowledge, coaching skills, and coaching you to develop the vital habits that will serve you in the face of challenges.

At the core of our life coaching is our Growth Mindset Training Academy Curriculum. This curriculum begins with the two most premium priced courses – the Personal Breakthrough Training and Mindset Training the Foundation: Training a Mindset of Love. These premium priced life coaching programs are priced this way for two primary reasons. First, they are very effective if you actually participate by doing the assignments daily at best or every weekday at a minimum. The value of the course is actually significantly more than the price, especially when looking at the price of a top 500 college class.

Also, it includes two small group coaching and/or Q&A sessions each week with me. Because of the expectation of doing each lesson, which are not long, daily or every week day minimally, this is a very challenging course. We reward completion with gifts, encouraging a celebration, and a partial rebate. 

We also give strong financial incentives to do this as family, team, or cohort. Everyone in the team, cohort, or family can hold each other accountable and we work with the group to maximize the return on the investment – the partial rebate, when every assignment is completed. We cannot do much more to incentivize the completion of the program.

It is the creation of habits that our life coaching is pushing for. We cannot create the habits for you, but we will teach, coach, push, prod, poke, cajole, or whatever else we can to get you to do the behavior we want to become a habit. Those first two training programs are all about building two foundational habits and providing new skills to develop within those two foundational habits.

Every successful person in life has had trials, tribulations, and often tragedies to deal with. It was the fact that they did deal with them and were still able to “laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate the beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch Or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived,” that made them champions of life.

While there are principles, beliefs, and thinking patterns that guided their lives and became embedded as character traits that identified their very nature, there were also two general practices that are common amongst successful people. Those two lifestyle habits are the formation of morning and evening rituals. Everyone has morning and evening routines, but not everyone has morning and evening rituals.

Routines are what we do when we awaken and before we go to bed as a matter of habit or routine. There isn’t really much purpose to them and they weren’t really done with intent. Of course there are standards such as hygiene that most people do as part of their routine, but there are others that are unique to each individual. Our life coaching program will help you identify what your routines are and develop positive, supportive rituals in your life.

Everyone does not necessarily have the same ritual components though there are principles that shape what should be included. A life coach would probably also offer recommendations based on experience and even current research. Those recommendations should fit within those general principles or categories that makeup the ritual. The ritual will include elements that address your mind, body, and spirit. The elements will help you develop the habits, emotional and attitude management skills that will allow you to safely navigate through the storms of life.
