Not bad for starting out. However, I believe some of these people are confused as to what relationship coaching actually is. I received several phone calls from people wanting to tell me their deep, dark secrets about fantasies and how their innate need to please themselves may be interfering in their … [Read more...]
A Personal Life Coach – Who Coaches The Coaches?
Having a personal life coach, even though you are a coach, is very beneficial to both you and your clients. On July 14, Dave Luppa wrote the article “So just who the hell is YOUR life coach?” There was a comment asking, “I wonder who the coach of the life coach is?” I thought that was an excellent and very important question.

What is Coach U?
Prestigious Coaching Schools Coach U is one of those prestigious ICF coaching schools I talked about in the “Looking For a Prestigious Coaching Certification” post. In fact, when researching “Coach U” I discovered that it was founded in the United States in 1992. In 1997 “Coach U” founded the International Coaches Federation (ICF).

Sports Psychology and Coaching: How To Be A Winner
My first introduction to sports psychology and coaching was back in high school. I ran track and cross country, earning the coveted “Most Improved” award. It wasn’t that I was such an impressive runner, but after crossing the finish line in my first race just as they were taking down the finish chute anything was an improvement.
