Just three things: competence, caring and capability. Do you have them? Can you get them? If not, set down the study guide from that online program \u201c become a master coach in 36 hours for $397,\u201d and be glad you did.<\/p>\n<h3>Coaching Demands Competence<\/h3>\n<p>Of all the strengths you would like to have in the surgeon who is about to perform open-heart surgery on YOU, wouldn\u2019t competence be right up there at the top of your list? You bet your sweet heart it would. It\u2019s the same with coaching. If you don\u2019t have a mastery of accountability, strategy and assessment coaching, don\u2019t you dare call yourself a Master Coach. And if you haven\u2019t a mastery of your primary area of coaching application \u2013 startup businesses, executive leadership, relationships, health, et cetera, then don\u2019t dare to call yourself a Master Coach. Because <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">what you need to be a coach<\/span> comes down to knowing what the hell you are doing.<\/p>\n<h3>Caring that Goes beyond \u201cFeeling Good\u201d Is also what You Need To Be a Coach<\/h3>\n<p>The second requirement of coaching is caring. Caring that goes beyond feeling good. Tough caring, as in tough love. Caring that drives your motivation. And the sincerity which makes your tough message irresistible. It is easy to let your client off the hook. It is also, perhaps, the worst thing that you can possibly do for them. Coaching is based on the idea that each human being is capable of greatness, with an equally great impact on those around them and on the rest of the world, as well.<\/p>\n<h3>Finally, There Is the Element of Capability<\/h3>\n<p>So finally <strong>what you need to be a coach<\/strong> comes down to your capability to combine your competence with your caring to embrace your client\u2019s aspirations. You must believe in them when they do not believe in themselves and you must help them step beyond their own needs and self-limiting beliefs to achieve their dreams. Now if you don\u2019t have this capability, don\u2019t bother to become a coach, because you might just do far more harm than good.<\/p>\n<div><em>By the way\u2026 you\u2019re invited to claim your FREE step-by-step \u201c<strong><a title=\"Become a Life Coach\" href=\"http:\/\/www.coachestrainingblog.com\/sp.php?adsource=blogtext\">Master Coach Blueprint<\/a><\/strong>\u201d video toolkit.
