"... (A coach) is not an advisor. He's not telling you what to do. It's more that you have capacity within yourself but you never touch these buttons. So he brings out your own capacity - or rather you discover your own capacity. You become an explorer of yourself..."

- Be curious.
- Feel thrilled when your client thrives.
- Know that your client is whole, complete and resourceful.
- Be willing to let your client learn and move forward in their time and at their pace.
Coaching will be filled with satisfaction, ease and fulfillment when the following are embraced:
- Do your own personal growth (So you will not get hooked by what your clients are going through)
- Let go of your own ego in having the best answer for your client (So you will not have to work hard nor have to be responsible for your client's life but allow your client to be empowered)
- Be invisible in the coaching relationship (You hold the space for your client to discover them self, this is not a relationship where you get to share your advice, expertise, or strategies for life)
Coaching is holding a space of total acceptance for your self and for your client as you facilitate the client's self-discovery and re-connection to their inner most truths about them self – their qualities, their gifts and their life purpose. The coach also facilitates the client with their conscious alignment with their inner most truths in their everyday decisions and actions.
The coach's role is to raise the level of consciousness of the client through questions that allow the client to choose what they want, what they are prepared to do and what they are prepared to commit to them self in the present moment.
The coach is charged with the responsibility of asking the client
- What new awareness or learning do you have now?
- How are you going to apply this new insight?
- What other part of your life could you apply this?
With tremendous ease!
In March of 1996, Coach For Life was invited to create a coaches training program and coaching model that integrated the practical tools of coaching with the infinitely resourceful power of Spirit. We honor and
- Present left brain (linear and logical) coaching tools and materials.
- Present right brain (intuitive and transformational) coaching methods and processes.
- Integrate Spiritual principles into every aspect of our coaching tools, model and learning environment.
- We are Spiritual Beings having a Human experience.
- The Fulfillment Coaching Model™ is based on every coaching client actually knowing who they really are – their most innate Core SELF.
- The focus is also on accessing the Divine Presence where our infinite resourcefulness is sourced.
- The learning-space focus and our coach approach is always on first exploring what's working, what’s good/positive/life-affirming. This builds the confidence of the learner and/or client. And then we explore what needs further attention, improvement and development.
The coaching results produced within the coaching client - and the ease in which the results are produced have proven since 1996 to out-distance the results of all the coaching tips or techniques combined!
Our Fulfillment Coaching Model™ is based on the deep belief that we can only experience meaningful fulfillment when we:
- Know our inner-most core values, life purpose and innate gifts.
- Live our life in alignment with our core values, life purpose and innate gifts.
- Celebrate ourselves for living in alignment with our core values, life purpose and innate gifts.
