Not a Life Coach: Are You Ready to Change Your Life? From the Sunday Times No.1 Bestselling Author

Product Information

I feel he is very underqualified/experienced to write this book and feel that it has been solely done for financial gain while his profile is high. Every reference book he cites would be far better to read than this book (I haven't read them all but I have read a good proportion). That’s when coaching disclaimers become key: to protect your client (as well as yourself) and let them know how your advice is meant to be used. So Why Do You Need a Coaching Disclaimer? Life coaching accreditation is made up by the coaching industry. It’s not based either on objective criteria or on something that would ensure effective service. Then finally we have the appearance factor. We all know about the peculiar obsession with how much we weigh and look. You know what James is talking about when someone flirts with you, asks you out or even hears a murmur that someone finds you attractive.

Usually, life coaches come into the industry because they have issues on their own. They’ve faced existential crisis and look for ways to deal with it. Well, so what were you before? Were you cursed?” Papyrus asked, steamrolling over any chance at answering. “Are you under an evil spell? It’s not the kind that has to be broken by a kiss, is it? Because I’d like to point out right now that I don’t even have lips, and as much as I-” c) what’s going to happen is instead of improving the service and creating the kind that one can really be proud of, the poor guy is going to torture himself and his friends with overexaggerated and frankly annoying “sense of self-value” Actually, I became way more conscientious, laborious and effective in life coaching since I liberated myself from the life-coaching industry.

I’ve lived in the US for three years, and finally, I could afford to visit my hometown in Kazakhstan and not worry about entering on the unreliable travel parole. By the way, I noticed that coaches who act as “mentors” and “trainers” in coaching training programs do better there than in their own practice. That’s because in the training environment they can offer life coaching along with consulting and training. You see, if people trust you, if people show actual results after working with you, if you are content with your craft, you don’t need someone with authority to tell you that you’re ok.

Generally speaking, Papyrus served as a break from Flowey’s heavier experimentation. A palate cleanser, of sorts. That routine was starting to get a bit stale, unfortunately, and as they enjoyed the night air together, Flowey went over some options in his head. It wouldn’t do to get too extreme right at the start, or anything to follow would feel anticlimactic. Besides, sadism was one thing, but thoughtless brutality on its own was dull. He could do better than that. The real deal was seeing how far he could push a personality off the rails. To see how much he could disorient them, to see just how much it took to flip the switch. To take someone apart, learn how they worked on the most intimate level possible, and then rewire them any way he wanted.Just about everyone has a vision of their ideal life. Maybe you've always dreamed of being a successful writer, musician, or corporate executive. But you haven’t made it a reality yet. After all, we cannot wish for a life without problems. So we are better off discovering silver linings that lie hidden within our problems. In 1995, the nonprofit International Coaching Federation (ICF), an independent credentialing body, attempted to impose a set of standards and a code of ethics on the industry, and met with middling success. Although tens of thousands of coaches belong to the ICF, many more – including Castillo, who has dismissed the ICF as clubby and ineffective – do not. Instead, she opted to create her own certification program via the Life Coach School, which she founded with her husband, Chris, in 2007. Initially, LCS trainings took place largely in person. A couple dozen students would gather at the Holiday Inn Express in El Dorado Hills, California, where they spent a week learning Castillo’s signature product, the CTFAR Model: all circumstances (C) are neutral; your thoughts (T) create your feelings (F), which inspire your actions (A), which lead to your results (R). Course materials promised CTFAR “can literally solve any problem”.

I have since become a much more content person, achieving fulfilment, self-value and restored self-confidence in my own ability. Imagine you’re giving general advice on healthy nutrition or exercise, to someone who’s been dealing with chronic health issues their whole life. Even though the strategies you share with the best intention can be miraculous to a healthy person, they could make this person’s issues worse. What’s most important, a coach must cast away one’s own ego, ambitions, and illusions. If money, fame, and self-importance are your true goals, life coaching is not for you. And certainly, they will be the main source of revenue for the industry. That’s how any financial pyramid works. But I’m still a life-coach.Well, silly, I want you to learn the lesson I died to learn.” Flowey stretched, pulling more of his form above ground. “We’re going to try a little exercise, if you don’t mind,” he said, voice dripping sugar and tar.
