Success Coaching During the Olympics: The Ultimate Life Success Coach Story

The Olympics is the most viewed program, not just in the success coaching arena; across the boards.  If there were ever examples of why we all need a life success coach, the Olympics is the ultimate example.  Not a single athlete who gets close to going to the Olympics does so without their own version of a life success coach.  There are a lot of similarities between success coaching and Olympic ice dancing coaching, for example.

An Empowering Peer Group Can Make All the Difference in Your Success Coaching

Let’s take the gold and silver medallists for the paired ice dancing competition as an example of success coaching principles used in figure skating.  They’re peers and rivals, even training on the same ice between competitions.  If they had a life success coach, he would have encouraged this relationship as part of their empowering peer group.  And it worked well for both teams during the Olympics, because both teams achieved their personal best scores during the event.  Seeing each other perform well drove them to play full out.

As a Life Success Coach it is Imperative to Impart the Importance Being a Good Example

I used this example with my youngest success coaching client; my eight year old daughter.  And while she doesn’t pay me to be her life success coach, at times she does appreciate me.  For example, she and some other kids were playing a game of keep-away at school when someone’s feelings got hurt.  We wrote out a script and she called the kid to apologize for her part.  She was the only one who called out of about 8-10 kids who were involved.  She was the hero the next day among her peers.  Her actions encouraged the others to consider doing the same.  They all apologized and he was able to accept their apologizes.

Helping Your Clients Find an Empowering Peer Group Will Help Your Clients Achieve Their Goals and Make Your Success Coaching More Lucrative

What does this have to do with success coaching?  Most life success coaches don’t realize the benefits that an empowering peer group can have in helping their success coaching clients reach their goals.  Seeing others succeed is so powerful that it can encourage the most reluctant client.  Life success coaches need to find ways to foster relationships between their peers; whether it’s within the context of group coaching, a chat room for their clients or becoming part of a mastermind group.

Regardless, if it’s in competition or cooperation, you can improve your success coaching results by encouraging your clients to tap into their peer groups.  Sometimes you might find as a life success coach that there are relationships that your clients need to distance themselves from.  If that’s the case, you’ll want to make sure your clients replace that time with time spent with people who are sculpting their own destinies.
