The Coach Training Academy

Congratulations to Maleeka Hollaway one of our program graduates!

Congratulations Coach Anne! Great speaker and Coach!

So many coaching sessions this week about confidence. One question I asked was, based on your current knowledge and experience (of the subject) where is your level of confidence. Every response was similar. Not very confident. The next question was if someone with your knowledge and experience was incredibly confident, they had it all figured out, what you would think of them. The response was disbelieve or the person was delusional. While we would all like to put o...ur hands on a piano and play brilliantly, or start a new job and have all the knowledge downloaded into our brain or take a coach training course and be a 6 figure coach, exuding confidence from day one. That is not how any of us develop confidence. Developing confidence takes a certain amount of knowledge, experience and often mentoring. If you want to be a successful 6 or 7 figure coach get ready for some challenges, frustration and even confusion. Yes, anyone can sit a Starbucks with a friend or co worker and tell them what to do with their life. Becoming a change-maker and a highly skilled transformation coach, takes solid training, practice, mentoring and the persistence to stick with it.

As professional coaches we are masters of change. I really like this cartoon as it so eloquently depicts why people hire us. They know they want change, they know what don't like about where they are and they come to us to first to "try on change." Very much like going shopping for clothes. Looking in the mirror, feeling how I feel.... is this what I want? Our job is to help them clarify what they want, set up ways to try things on and then step into that change.
