When evaluating coaching training for yourself, make sure you get plenty of these three ingredients: skills matched to real-world needs, scientifically grounded principles, and lots and lots of actual coaching. These could come entirely in a classroom setting, over the internet, or via conference calls. In fact, the best programs are a mix of all three. Just don’t expect to get what you need to be a great coach in three weeks or less, for the bargain price of $999.00. Expect to invest a year and … [Read more...]
Coaching and Leadership: What’s the Difference?

Leadership Concepts A Leadership Development Coach Needs To Cover
As I reflect back on my experiences from leading Marines, I discovered what I was actually becoming was a leadership development coach. In order to be truly effective coach, one must integrate three major concepts of leadership and they are Authority, Responsibility and Accountability. Without the full power of each concept, you set your subordinates up for failure and this is by no means how a leader develops coaching skills. Now let’s take a closer look at what each of these three concepts … [Read more...]
Three Must-Haves in Coaching Training
There are a LOT of coaching training programs out there. There are good programs, and I am sure that there are some really bad programs. Promises of “certification” or titles of “master coach” don’t guarantee anything in the real world. Before you sign up, check out the school and its faculty, ask for a free coaching session, demand to speak with staff and graduates, check out training materials. And whatever else you do look for these three must-haves. Consider only Comprehensive, … [Read more...]
Coaching Mastermind Groups Taps into Universal Power
To understand coaching mastermind groups you must first understand the concept. Napoleon Hill defined a mastermind group as a group of people who come together with the common interest of the betterment of all. He said that when the group comes together to freely share their ideas in a spirit support for mutual benefit, it is as if an additional mind is created, a master mind, which is able to tap into and focus the infinite power of the universe for the betterment of the entire group. Each … [Read more...]
Coaching Sales Training On The Conversation You Hate
Have you had any coaching sales training? While some coach training programs include segments on marketing and sales skills, many don't. And they should. Most coaches don't like to think about having to sell their services, but client enrollment is a sales process and requires a sales skill set. Without being able to sell your coaching, you only have a hobby, not a business. So, if that's what you want, great. But if you are hoping or planning to leave your salaried job, you'd better get some … [Read more...]
Life Coaching Training From Reality TV
Watch The Amazing Race on CBS sometime and you can get some terrific life coaching training on meeting goals. It's a reality show where teams of two race around the world completing various tasks along the way. The first team to finish wins a million dollars, and at the end of each leg there is the risk that your team will be eliminated if you arrive last. It's grueling. Teams are exhausted, filthy and challenged physically, mentally and emotionally. So what does this have to do with life coach … [Read more...]
Relationship Coach Training Tools: Stop The Stress
Relationship coach training doesn't provide you the tools to save or repair every relationship. No kind of training can do that. But one of the things it should give you is some tools you can teach your clients so they can manage their own emotions during stressful times in their relationship. Recently I coached someone who was so stressed by her marriage that she completely forgot several appointments she had scheduled, including our coaching appointment. Here are some of the tools I taught … [Read more...]
Coach Training Techniques For Training Elite Coaches
After almost a decade of being a 'crash test dummy' for coach training techniques (not to mention, running my own coaches trainings), I know a thing or two about what works and what doesn't work for training elite coaches. The best coaches aren't prodigies, born with elite coaching skills. The Best Coaches Are Trained With High Level Coach Training Techniques There are lots of coach trainings to choose from. Some of them are 'niched' for a particular type of coaching (like 'christian coaching' … [Read more...]
In-Person Life Coach Programs: Should You Bother?
Have you had the experience of any live, in-person life coach programs yet? Trainings that you attend in person are a totally different experience from programs that happen over the phone or the internet. Much of my training was on the phone and internet. But each segment of my JTS Advisors Master Coach University training also included a bonus 3-day in-person program, and for me those were much more than the icing on the cake. The Benefits Of In-Person Life Coach Programs. • The biggest … [Read more...]
