Well if your goal is motivational coaching certification<\/a><\/strong>, you can just stop right there! That\u2019s right. Just stop right there. Not if you expect to be a real coach. I know we all want to be the ones that make things happen, but not here. And certainly don\u2019t take any comfort in being certified at it.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s NOT about Certification<\/h3>\n

That\u2019s right. It\u2019s NOT about certification. Heck, the fact is that you can get someone to \u201ccertify\u201d you as almost anything that you can imagine. I mean you can get \u201ccertified\u201d as a \u201cmotivational coach\u201d but you cannot really motivate anyone to do anything. That is their opportunity and their challenge. So what can you do?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s All about Lasting Effect<\/h3>\n

Have you ever attended a motivational seminar that got you all hyped-up and one week later the only reason that you remember you attended was that you saw it on your calendar hiding underneath the remains of a coffee spill? Yes? I thought so. Well motivational coaching has the same problem as motivational seminars. It\u2019s because while your aim is to motivate \u2013 ironically \u2013 it is not about motivation. That is because to motivate is to set into action, and the energy required to set anything into action not only comes from within, but it is controlled from within. So what about motivational coaching certification<\/span> makes sense?<\/p>\n

There Is some Sense in Motivational Coaching Certification<\/h3>\n

Certainly legitimate certification is a good thing. Just make sure you look for a solid basis in science and a consistent track record of delivering good results. As for coaching, for me there is no question there. Everyone open minded enough to admit that they can do better, can certainly do better with a well trained and authentic coach. But what about this \u201cmotivational\u201d stuff? I believe that goes back to determining the fundamental needs of the person and formulating an plan to meet those needs that is credible to the person, and then with some encouragement igniting the spark of possibility in their heart, and then being there to assure them that they, in fact, can do it. And with that, have you not earned a motivational coaching certification<\/strong>?<\/p>\n
