How to Live a Life By Design and become a Co-Creator

Most humans are operating in one of 4 psychological levels:

Level 1 – victim stage, life happens to you

Level 2 – you create and design your world ie you become a co-creator of your life.

Level 3: Servant to a higher calling.  Doing something for the world. You are pushing humidity forward. The universe speaks through you. You are doing it through inspiration.

Level 4: Oneness with humanity, monk like state. You can heal with a touch.

 

Let’s look at the first two levels since the majority of us will never get to level 3 or 4.

Victim stage – 70% of the world operates at this level.

  • You believe that life is happening to you.
  • You blame everyone for where you are at.
  • You don't think you have any control over what happens to you. You believe what Forest Gump said “Life is a box of chocolates we never know what we are going to get. So you take whatever life dishes out and you tell yourself that such is life.

 

Level 2: You believe that your, Thoughts create your reality –

  • You become a co-creator of your world.
  • You use your imagination to create in your mind the life you want.
  • You keep your mind positive,
  • you feed your subconscious mind and transform your thoughts into reality.
  • Abraham Hicks calls this the vortex. Your vortex is full of unmanifested potential just waiting to become your reality.
  • You utilize the laws of attraction to bring the things you want to you. The secret is to feel good and use positive energy to transform your, thoughts into things,

How do I become a Life Coach

Here are the steps to becoming a certified Life coach

1: Figure out your niche – what are you going to specialize in

For example, would you want to coach on happiness?

The goal of every living person is to find happiness.

As a Happiness Life coach, you could coach your clients on the following:

Defining Happiness – What is Happiness, how is it measured

Benefits and Challenges in finding happiness

Finding happiness through networking and getting to know people. Most of us need others to make us happy.

Worksheets and Workbooks for Your Clients, e.g. to remove old conditioning and beliefs.

You could do an Intro on how You found Your Happiness

Peeling Off the Layers – What is making your clients unhappy

Layer 1: Desire (influences/programming/expectations)

Layer 2: Limiting Beliefs (unconscious/agreements)

Layer 3: Ego and Identity (attachments/roles)

Layer 4: Time (past and future vs. the now)

Layer 5: Patterns and Conditioning (rewiring for joy)

Layer 6: Your Current Mood (emotions)

Certification Completion – You are now ready to go do it!

 

2: Find a school that teaches the foundation of the coaching business as well as the principles

 

9 Key Considerations for Choosing the Right Coach Training Program for You

  1. What is the training school’s underlying philosophy?

The traditional method of coaching often brings about only incremental and short-lived results. Of course, when you help change a person’s actions, they do get results—but not sustainable results. That’s because the underlying thoughts and emotions that truly drive actions are not addressed. Without changing core thoughts and emotions, individuals eventually revert back to their old habits, routines, and actions.

Find a program that teaches you how to help your clients change the way they think and feel. A program that teaches you how to help clients break through limiting thoughts and emotional responses, and replace them with supportive, empowering beliefs. As a result, clients are moved to take powerful and consistent action.

  1. How does the school deliver training?

A very important aspect in choosing the right coach training school is determining which program employs the most effective training and learning techniques for you. There are many ways to deliver coach training: • Live classroom training • Teleclasses • Self-study • Online training • Group work • One-on-one mentor training • Independent projects and more

At the University of Miami Professional Certified training program, they used teleclasses along with weekend in house training.  This worked for me.

  1. Does the school offer specialized training?

When you specialize, your exact target audience is more receptive to hearing your message clearly. In fact, the most successful coaches will tell you that specialization has been the key to their success. That’s why it’s critical that the training school you choose offers specialty tracks to help you hone your niche and become proficient in the area of coaching in which you are most interested.

Here are some niche coaching specialties:

Life Purpose Coaching • Health and Wellness Coaching • Corporate Coaching • Professional Coaching • Executive Coaching • Relationship Coaching • Transition Coaching • Small Business Coaching . Happiness coaching

  1. Does the school provide business development training to help you build your practice?

When comparing coaching schools, it’s crucial to determine how each school addresses the following question: How will I attract clients and earn income as a coach?

The University of Miami coaching program did not address marketing.  It is very important in starting to make money as a coach.

Find a program that includes in their curriculum classes to help you build your coaching practice through business development, branding/messaging, and marketing.

  1. Is the school an accredited institution? What is its reputation and track record?

The International Coach Federation (ICF), the industry’s governing body that sets the standards, core competencies, and ethics for coaches and training schools alike. Many unaccredited schools have actually been rejected by the ICF accreditation board and some, multiple times. Make sure that the coach training school you’re considering is ICF-accredited, and do not accept any excuses as to why they are not.

If you are going to spend money to get a coaching certification it makes sense to get your certification from an accredited school so you can be accredited as a coach by the International coaching federation.  If not, you can just call yourself a coach and get on with it.  Lots do. Tony Robbins is making millions as a coach and he does not have certification, just lots of experience!

  1. Who are the school’s instructors and what is their background?

One of the things I loved about the University of Miami certificate coaching program is that all the instructors were master certified coaches some have more than 30 years’ experience.  Check to see the instructors listed and make sure they have at least a Certified Professional Coaching accreditation.  That is what I have.

  1. How long will it take to complete the program?

Accredited coach training programs vary in their requirements. Programs range from only 60 hours to more than 300—and from a few weeks long to several years. Most programs that offer ICF certification take a minimum of 6 months to complete, and the vast majority of accredited programs take 12 – 24 months. The University of Miami CPC coaching program was 11 months.

Be sure not to fork over your money for a weekend certificate program.  I have seen them out there.

  1. Where is the coach training 8 school located?

Most schools offer training online; but since coaching is a practical field, they usually have weekend in class sessions.  About 3 of them for a 12-month program.  So don’t sign up for a class in the United Kingdom because you will not pass or get your certificate if you cannot attend the in class training.

  1. How much does the program cost and what’s included in the price?

Coach training programs vary significantly in price, with unaccredited programs starting as low as $2,000 – $3,000 and accredited programs ranging anywhere from $5,000 – $14,000 or more.

University of Miami CPC training program cost $6,000 plus mentor coaching and the purchase of an ethics book.
