\u00a0It&#8217;s true. \u00a0Monkeys, no matter what you think about them, have a lot of <strong>life coaching education<\/strong> of offer about leadership and human behavior. \u00a0Whether you like it or not, we are PRIMATES and nothing will change that FACT.<\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/div>\n<h3>Why Coaching Techniques Matter to Your Life Coach Career<\/h3>\n<div>If you want a <strong>life coaching education<\/strong> to have the best <a title=\"life coach career\" href=\"https:\/\/coachestrainingblog.com\/becomeacoach\/2008\/12\/what-to-look-for-in-a-career-coach-training-program-2\/\" target=\"_self\"><strong>life coach career<\/strong><\/a> possible, then you need to know why your coaching clients do what they do (and what will make them do something different). \u00a0Every one of your coaching techniques you use will need to provide one common service and value to your coaching client: CHANGE. \u00a0Your client wants change, you want to provide it, and your clients friends are looking for it (whether they want it or not). \u00a0Change is your CURRENCY and your ultimate claim to fame in your life coach career.<\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/div>\n<h3>But <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Life Coaching Education<\/span> &amp; Coaching Techniques Are a Dime a Dozen<\/h3>\n<div>A <strong>life coach career<\/strong> can explode or fizzle out based upon your performance as a coach (not so much based upon your <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">life coaching education<\/span>). \u00a0You can be a great marketer, and sell &#8216;crap in a box&#8217;, but then you probably wouldn&#8217;t be interested in being a coach. \u00a0As a coach, you want to help people, and make money doing it. \u00a0Great coaching techniques are helpful, good marketing is helpful, but the most helpful thing is having great coaching techniques that ALSO can be used in your marketing process&#8230; they kill two birds with one stone, and you can sleep well at night also (knowing that your life career is actually authentic, heartfelt, and based upon your commitment to serve your fellow mankind).<\/div>\n<h3>Monkey Business: Life Coaching Education from the Amazon\u00a0Rain-forest<\/h3>\n<div>Monkeys are great team players. \u00a0They also take revenge on you if they don&#8217;t like you. \u00a0If you can\u00a0understand\u00a0why, it will teach you the rules of the game of your <strong>life coach career<\/strong>.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>If you want to influence others, it&#8217;s easier to understand the simple laws of influence when looking at monkeys, because there&#8217;s no human complications involved. \u00a0There are a lot of justifications and stories that a human will give you for why people will set a free session with you or get coaching with you, but the REAL reasons are much more PRIMAL. \u00a0Most life coaching education that you&#8217;ll get won&#8217;t admit that (and some that try to teach you how to have a great<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"> life coach career<\/span> don&#8217;t even know that).<\/div>\n<h3>Monkey Business Coaching Techniques:<\/h3>\n<div>Before a monkey decides to follow another monkey, they have to know whether that other monkey is the ALPHA. \u00a0Monkeys are constantly testing to see &#8216;who&#8217;s the top monkey&#8217; and they fight over the top spot. \u00a0If you are the top monkey, every monkey pays attention and homage to you. \u00a0If you are the bottom monkey, you are lucky just to be left alone. \u00a0Think of what it would be like to have a life coaching education from those monkeys.<\/div>\n<h3>HUMANS ARE JUST THE SAME<\/h3>\n<div>Sound jaded or cruel? \u00a0It&#8217;s not. \u00a0Can you imagine if we had no president (top monkey)? \u00a0No one would know who to turn to for decisions. \u00a0There would be complete chaos. \u00a0The Alpha monkey serves the community and in turn, gets the spoils.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>This is important in your <strong>life coach career<\/strong> because no coaching technique or life coaching education will work if your client\u00a0perceives\u00a0you to be inferior to them. \u00a0They simply won&#8217;t listen to or follow you. \u00a0Can you imagine how impossible it would be to even set lots of free coaching sessions with people that perceive you to be inferior (perhaps you can&#8230; all too well&#8230;)?<\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>Jeffrey T.
