Life Coaching Secrets

How much do you care about what other people think of you?

Do you feel there are parts of you that you want to share, but you worry others may criticize you?

People have opinions about everything, including how we live, what we look like, how we talk, what we eat, who we love, how we spend our money, the decisions we make, and even our dreams.

And as we grow up, we are used to thinking: 

You may have never been invited to create an actual opinion of yourself. That is, until today, in this very episode.

In this episode, I share how you can honor your truth while letting other people have opinions of you.

There is a future version of you that is already enjoying the dreams you have today. They have it all, and they want to meet you.

But, how connected are you to your Future Self? Do you know they exist? Do you know what they are like?

With every decision we make, we are either moving closer to or farther away from our Future Self.

We are either growing or dying.

Most people are too distracted by their past to realize their Future Self exists.

And the problem with this is that your past is not useful if you are looking to create a new future.

Your Past Self only knows how it got you to where you are. It has no idea how to get you to where you want to be.

Whenever you have a goal or dream, your Future Self has all your answers.

In this episode, I share how to get in touch with your Future Self so you create the life of your dreams.

While there is no regulation for the coaching industry, we do have a governing body.

That governing body is known as the International Coach Federation (ICF).

While the ICF does not regulate the industry, they do create a standard for ethics and professionalism so that coaches operate with integrity.

The ICF also does not train coaches, but they do provide accreditation to certain programs that meet their standards and Code of Ethics.

It is not easy for a program to receive accreditation with the ICF, but Thriving Coach Academy has earned its highest level of accreditation.

When it comes to having credibility as a coach, it is essential you receive certification from a program accredited by the ICF. 

In this episode, we demystify the ICF and share with you all that you need to know about establishing credibility as a coach.

Failure is unavoidable in life. We all will fail. 

Rather than fearing failure, what if you were intentional about the TYPE of failure you experience? 

Good Failure is the failure you experience while you are pursuing your calling. It's the failure you experience as you are putting yourself out there and sharing your gifts with the world.

While you may be experiencing difficulties on the outside, on the inside you know that you are living your truth. You can also think of this as Outward Failure and Inward Success. 

Bad Failure is the failure you experience when you know deep down you are capable of more. It's when you are successful on the outside but unfulfilled on the inside. 

You are going through the motions, but you feel like you are not living to your potential. While others may praise and recognize you for accomplishments, your life doesn't carry much meaning.

You are wondering, "Is this really all?" You can also think of this as Inward Failure and Outward Success. 

In this episode, I share how to understand your failures so you can show up to your life in the fullest way imaginable.

The key to making more money is knowing the difference between cost and value.  

Cost is the investment you make in something. Value is the return you receive.  

When you focus on the cost of something, it creates feelings of scarcity because you are focused on what you will lose. This scares you from taking action, which limits your life. 

Alternatively, when you focus on the value of something, it creates abundance because you are focused on what you will gain. This inspires you to take action, which opens up possibilities in your life.  

The more you understand the VALUE, the less relevant the COST becomes, and the more your life improves. Buying something for its VALUE will ultimately add VALUE to your life.  

Buying something based on its COST will ultimately become COSTLY because the value is usually low, so you end up having more problems than you started with.  

Whenever making any financial decisions, you want to first make sure you know the VALUE.  

You want to ask yourself: 

In this episode, I share how you can understand the difference between cost and value.

You will always have a part of your brain that will look for potential problems you may experience as you pursue big goals. 

It is an impossible feat to try and completely rid yourself of worry. 

But, what you can do is direct the worrying part of your brain to focus on problems you WANT to have. I call this a Desirable Problem. 

Some problems have an upside. While they are still stressful, it's the stress you want to have. 

These problems are really growing pains you have at the next level of success. 

The key is to focus your brain on THOSE problems. 

Doing this satisfies the part of your brain that needs to worry about something while also panting a seed in your mind that you will be successful.

For example, instead of worrying about finding clients as a coach, you can instead choose to worry about:

All of these things are Desirable Problems.

In this episode, I share how to discover your own Desirable Problems so you can worry in the best possible way.

How often do you allow yourself to dream? 

Dreaming means letting your mind go anywhere it wants, allowing anything to be possible, and seeing things that aren't real yet. 

Dreaming is one of the greatest gifts we have as humans. It's what has moved our species forward since the beginning of our existence. 

But why do most adults stop dreaming? Because they forget how to do it. You don't need anyone's permission to dream something new for your life. 

Your dreams don't need to make sense to anyone else but you. You get to decide what's possible because you are the creator of your life. 

There is no dream that is “too big" because the purpose of a dream is to take your life as it is now and make it bigger. 

It is safe for you to have wild dreams. It is safe for you to be successful. It is safe for you to want a better life. You don't need anyone else to be on board with your dreams. The only person who needs to be on board with your dreams is you. 

In this episode, I share how to dream.

Do you like making decisions? Do decisions bring up anxiety for you?

Decisiveness is a leadership quality, and it's an essential quality to have if you want to become a successful coach and business owner.

When people say they are "stuck" in life, it's because they are not making decisions.

When people say they are exhausted in a career, it's because they are not making decisions.

When people are unhappy in a relationship, it's because they are not making decisions.

Making decisions generate power and move your life forward.

Many people worry that they will make a decision they regret, so they don't make any decisions at all. 

The irony is that when you fear regret and don't make decisions, you miss out on life... and THAT becomes the ULTIMATE regret.

Alternatively, when you make uncomfortable decisions, you get to GROW from those decisions. And as a result, you live a life you NEVER regret.

It's the most uncomfortable decisions we make in life that transform it the most.

In this episode, I show you how to become a decisive person.

Do ever feel uncomfortable when you experience moments of silence in a coaching session?

You might feel pressure to ask the "right" question or use the "perfect" tool... and you ultimately freeze like a deer in headlights.

A coaching session does not need to always move forward. There is tremendous value in their being still during a session.

In fact, saying LESS in a coaching session will give your client MORE value. The moments of silence will often lead to your client's biggest breakthroughs.

When your client is experiencing discomfort, you may be tempted to help them resolve or fix this discomfort right away. You may want to hurry them to feel better.

But, what if what they actually need is to be STILL with their discomfort? What if there is nothing wrong with their discomfort? What if it's exactly what they need in order to grow?

In this episode, I share how to Hold Space with your clients so they can tap into their inner genius during moments of silence.
