Here’s a poem for all those thinking of hiring a certified personal coach<\/a><\/strong>. In ragged, mostly non-rhyming middle-school level poetry, the benefits of using the services of a coach are extolled. If you are thinking of becoming a certified personal coach<\/span>, this poem may give you an idea of the influence you can have on people. Coaching is a great profession because you make money, earn respect, and help save the world, one person at a time, unless you coach in groups, then you save the world one group at a time.<\/p>\n

A Certified Personal Coach is Who You Need<\/h3>\n

It’s in your best interest to hire one, a coach.
\nto reach the stars, to climb the highest hill, to slay
\nthe fiercest dragon, to keep your enemies at bay.
\nA certified personal coach<\/strong> is the answer.<\/p>\n

No matter who you are, what you do, where you stand,
\nfrom where you’ve come, and where you long to be,
\nthere are pathways that only someone else can see.
\nA guide, a guru, a seer, a clairvoyant, a prophet,
\na psychic, a soothsayer, a visionary, a voodoo doctor.<\/p>\n

No, just a certified personal coach<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Someone to give you guidance, assistance,
\na little push, a shove up the hill, a push out the door,
\na little help through the tunnel, a helping hand up the stairs,
\na map to point the way, a flashlight to guide you in the dark,
\na few words of wisdom to help you find your way. Yes,
\nthat’s what certified personal coach<\/strong>es do.<\/p>\n

Whether you seek a beginning, an ending, a journey,
\nor a destination, coaches become a friend, a partner,
\nan assistant, an associate, a buddy, a pal, a teacher,
\na mentor, a collaborator, a colleague, a companion,
\nan aide, an accessory, and an ally.<\/p>\n

A certified coach makes a game plan, a road map,
\nan itinerary for your life. A coach draws on the
\ngiant blackboard to help you discover the answer to
\nthe equation that is love, work, family, and life.<\/p>\n

Sometimes life is like a big hole in the sidewalk,
\nyou fall in, you get up, you forget about it
\nuntil you fall in again the next day.
\nLife is like that sometimes. This when you call out,
\n\u201chey coach. I need some help.\u201d No shame,
\nno worries, no problem. A personal coach
\ncan help you remember that hole in the sidewalk,
\nstep around that hole in the sidewalk, find a different
\nstreet to walk down, or even fix that hole in the sidewalk.<\/p>\n

That’ is what they do, they help you remember,
\nforget, avoid, fix, mend, ameliorate, and find the
\nway around that hole.<\/p>\n

If you feel helpless, they are there.
\nIf you feel lost, they are they.
\nIf you feel trapped, they are there.
\nIf you lack the motivate, the inspiration,
\nthe visualization, or the inclination,
\nThey are there.<\/p>\n

Open your eyes, smell the roses, take the time
\nto enjoy the journey, and figure exactly where you
\nare headed. Find one, hire one, use one, embrace one
\nA certified personal coach<\/span> may point the way and
\nchange your life.<\/p>\n
