Coaches Mojo is not for everyone. It’s for those who don’t like to to sit still with the same old thinking, and want to find new and better ways to improve every part of their world. Coaches Mojo is dedicated to the people that are prepared to roll up their sleeves and take action. Its for those restless people who like to go against the grain to succeed + that means those that are or want to be MOTIVATED.

This complete guide to life coaching reveals what life coaching IS, how to coach yourself and others effectively and how to create and sustain a successful coaching practice. Leading you through a comprehensive programme of Advanced Life Coaching Skills, it contains key NLP-based techniques that include State Control, Rapport-building, Spiral Coaching, Meta-programs, Meta-languages and The Milton Model.

Here are some qoutes from the book that stuck in my mind:

Life coaching concentrates on the person’s whole life instead of just one area.

Life coaching is a holistic process that has the power to balance and harmonize life.

The book also lists some elevator pitches or openings. I think this one says a lot: Life coaching can seriously change your life..

The coach training is accredited by ICF and had sixtynine hours of lectures, training in the eleven coach core competencies, individual coaching sessions, homework and practice clients. The course schedule was two days a month for four months, August to November, plus the diploma day. Between the modules we had our practice clients, homework and our individual coaching sessions. It has taken a lot of time and energy but it was well worth it.

I have over the years coached friends and workmates. Now it is time to get serious which means I saw a need to learn the basics of professional coaching. This month I started a course at CoachCompagniet (Sweden). The course is two days a month for four months and then a diploma day. Course content is based on ICF coaching core competencies. Once I get the diploma I can work towards the next level, to become a certified coach according to ICF.

I have had the first two days of the course a week ago, I enjoyed it a lot and learned a lot too.

I think the last one is the key to change. As Penelope puts it, “believing in yourself is half the battle”.
