LIFE COACHING

The Four Keys to Successful Life Coaching

Why is it important for you understand the four keys to successful life coaching?

Too many people engage a coach without meeting all four of the basic coaching conditions and they rarely achieve full success. Unfortunately, most people (and even many coaches) are not aware of these conditions and the coaching process is blamed, because coaching was inappropriately used. Just like people who go snow skiing in Miami in August, will not be successful because the snow conditions are not right. Snow skiing is still great but only under the right conditions. The life coaching process is also superb, but only under the following Four Key Conditions.

Here are the four key conditions you will want met before you engage a life coach.
(Whether through The Coach Connection or elsewhere.)

1. You have at least one goal that is best achieved through life coaching.

The reason you hire a life coach is to achieve your coachable goals. You need at least one "Coachable Goal" for your life coach to assist you to accomplish.

A "Coachable Goal" is a future place you want to be as a person that requires you to grow or improve as a person to reach it.

Your TCC Advocate will assist you during your free consultations to discover if you have a "Coachable Goal" and if so, to define your primary "Coachable Goals." You bring your coachable goals to the party, and have total control over what they are. During the past six and a half years over 96.5% of TCC's clients have achieved their initial "Coachable Goals" and most have achieved numerous additional goals they developed during coaching.

2. You are ready to participate in the life coaching process.

Your readiness level is a state of mind and an attitude. You have total control over your degree of readiness.

Being ready is something only you control. You cannot be forced, sold, or tricked into being ready. Your TCC Advocate will assist you during your free consultation to discover your level of readiness. Your Advocate will only encourage you to engage a life coach if you are ready. Being ready is a timing thing. You will be ready when you are ready. If you are not ready, your Advocate will encourage you to wait until you are.

Answering the following four questions will provide you and your TCC Advocate an excellent indicator of your degree of readiness.

I. How committed are you to achieving your "Coachable Goals?"

Normally people select "Coachable Goals" that are the extremely important to them; otherwise they would not have sought help. You will reach your goal much faster and more completely if you are fully committed to achieving it.

II. How willing are you to accept new perspectives about you?

One of the key powers of coaching is that your coach will provide you with an objective, nonjudgmental, non critical, non biased, truth seeking and supportive view of you. Just like you must look into a mirror to see what your face looks like, because of the position of your eyes, you need a mirror to really see your own passions, desires, priorities, values, talents, and your self imposed obstacles to your goals.

Your life coach will be your personal mirror to provide an objective view (your reflection) of who you are, what you want, and what you do to obstruct your progress, so you become "The Worlds Leading Expert on You."

III. How willing are you to invest money in you?

YOU ARE the most important asset you will ever have! Hiring a coach is one of the greatest ways to invest in YOU. Why? Because you will improve and grow as a person through coaching. You as a person are more important than your house, your car, your company, your stocks, or your bonds.

Even though you may consider the costs of life coaching to be an expense, it is a true investment, where you should expect to receive more out of it than you invested. As you grow 10%, 20% 50%, everything around you improves 100%, 200%, and 500%.

IV. How willing are you to take action?

Coaching in a very action oriented process. You and your coach will discover the action steps that will take you to your goals. You will perform almost all of the steps yourself. You will want to be ready to execute the steps (one at a time) to achieve your goals.

3. You are matched with the life coach who is best suited (ideal) for you.

Coaching is a very personal process and not just any coach will do for you. You want to engage a partner coach whom you personally connect with extremely well. You will want to have a strong mutual trust and strong mutual respect with your coach, and you want to feel and know that your coach focuses all of her or his efforts and energies on you and your goals.

The best way to discover which coaches will be best for you is to participate in real coaching sessions with, at least three coaches. Ideally, you will want the coaching sessions to be free of any sales activity or interviewing, so that you will experience the true coaching style and methods of the coaches.

Your TCC Advocate will personally match you with, at least, three TCC Member Coaches who are ideally matched to you. You will receive true coaching sessions, without a hint of sales. In addition, TCC's initial period "Money-Back Guarantee Offer" guarantees that you will connect with your "Ideal Coach," or you will receive your money back. Your choice!

4. Your life coach has considerable experience and excellent coaching character.

You Are the King or Queen in your coaching relationship.

You want your life coach to be your Equal Partner so that you will be free (from judgment, and from lack of respect) and encouraged to open up to your coach and reveal the inner core ingredients about you that you have not revealed to anyone before (Including yourself) This way you WILL unravel “The Mystery of You” and you will become “The Worlds Leading Expert on You.”

You want your coach to only coach you. You DO NOT want your coach to try to train you, advise you, instruct you, judge you, critique you, adjust you, evaluate past events with you, criticize you, or tell you what you should or should not do. By performing any of these functions, the other person must act and feel he or she is your superior. If your coach feels or acts as your superior, you will no longer be the center of attention and no longer be the queen or king.

Unfortunately, the life coaching industry is not perfect. Approximately 45% to 55% (if not more) of the people who call themselves life coaches do not provide pure coaching. They mix any one if not more of the superior related functions described above, and by doing so make it very difficult, if not impossible to return to the vital equal partnership relationship of a true life coach.

You want your life coach to have years of experience and an exceptional track record in coaching people just like you to achieve the same results you are seeking. You want your coach to also have superb coaching qualities, like complete trustworthiness, excellent training, superb experience, and the special "Gift of Coaching." You also want your coaches to be excited to coach YOU because they have chosen you as their ideal client, before you arrived. This way they have the confidence, savvy and strong motivation to assist you to reach your goals quicker and more completely.

Your ideally matched TCC Member Coaches will have completed TCC's rigorous screening process (TCC has 133 active Member Coaches who were screened from over 1,800 who have applied). TCC's initial period "Money-Back Guarantee Offer" guarantees that the"Ideal Member Coach" you choose will be an exceptional and experienced coach, or you get your money back! Your matched Member Coaches will have previously chosen and described you as their ideal client during the acceptance process in becoming an active TCC Member Coach.
