Q&A: I want to become a certified Life Coach through your training program!

Friday, November 12th, 2010

The following question has been asked by someone via email:

Question: I want to become a certified Life Coach through your training program!

Answer:

Kisses&Hearts Coaching is not a certification program or school for becoming a life coach. I coach young women 1-on-1 and help them accomplish whatever goal they may have. Of course that goal may very well be to become a life coach, though so far my clients have all been interested in different career paths. However, K&H is branching out and it’s very possible that I will create exactly what you are interested in, a certification program for becoming a life coach, at some point. Not anytime soon though, sorry! (Unless I get hundreds of emails from young women begging me to create it and thus it becomes my priority!)

Meanwhile, there are many other certification programs. Googling is really the best way to find and compare them. They usually cost $800-$3,000. I want to point out that none of them are necessary (you don’t need a certification to be a life coach) and also none of them will provide you with your own clients, which is the hardest part of this profession. A good certification program will provide you with some coaching tools to use when you are working with clients, and some practice (this is usually done by pairing up members and letting them practice coaching each other). A good certification program should also help you come up with your own niche (i.e. what kind of clients do you want to work with?) and your own pricing.

The coaching certification programs might provide you with some general ideas about how to get clients, (to be honest, these ideas are things any average person would come up with). So getting clients is something that will be completely your responsibility as a self-employed entrepreneur. Most life coaches are like struggling actors. Just like even the best acting schools can only give you some skills but can’t give you a talent or a successful career, it’s the same with coaching certification programs. I want to make that point very clear because most people thinking about getting into coaching think it’s an easy path to money and clients or their own self-realization. They think they just need to get their certification and they will have arrived. Not even close! A certification is more like the starting point.

For this reason, if you do decide to do a certification program, figure out what you really want to get out of coaching and whether you have the passion to stay with it and find your own niche and clients. Life coaching can be an amazing career for those of us who are wise, brilliant, dedicated, and have found our own voice, but it is definitely NOT a quick path to money and clients.

For those of you reading this and who are interested in a K&H certification program, you can always shoot me an email. If I was to create such a  thing, it would be a huge undertaking. I’d have to write lesson plans, do group web seminars, provide 1-on-1 phone coaching, etc etc, and it would probably be priced  @ $800.

Q&A: Aber (Abraham Hicks fan) with a question about manifestation

Thursday, August 13th, 2009
This Q&A uses Abraham-Hicks terminology. If you are unfamiliar with this brilliant teacher, check out abraham-hicks.com.

This article is meant for Abers but others may be able to understand/follow it as well.

Dear Len,

my dream burns bright within me. I have followed the energy of what excites me vibrationally via focuswheel-ing and appreciation lists (my 2 fave processes) and today got a very specific idea in my imagination. At first I felt “this is it” and was so happy and excited, but then I started to feel major anxiety about it. What is up with that? X, Amy*

 

ANSWER:?

Dearest Amy* (and fellow Aber),

You’re a true wizard! You’re not an ‘action slut’ but a deliberate creator. What an honor! It is a small # of people who understand that. You have been able to comprehend something that not many people do, even the ones who go on and on about Law of Attraction but don’t truly accept that it’s entirely an emotional/thought journey. That’s Wisdom, and wisdom is a huge accomplishment! So, *BIG APPLAUSE*!!!!!

?

Now, about the issue at hand: you must continue the focuswheel+appreciation process! Here’s why.

You’re uncomfortable because you’re not stable yet. You are VERY close but not quite there vibrationally.

If you remember Abraham’s emotional scale, you are now in ‘overwhelment’ and “impatience”. Yes, you felt great joy briefly, but that is not your overall vibration. Basically, you got in the vortex and then it spit you out. So, still some work to do. And not much because overwhelment is pretty darn close vibrationally to joy.

First, back up a little bit. Come back to things you have under control now. Feel the comfort of things you’re already good at. Beat that drum until you feel confident again. There is no hurry, and this won’t take long.

Confidence is what’s lacking here, so think about whatever makes you confident now. Start with small things, easy things. “I can make pancakes. I have a nice bathroom.” Anything that makes you feel good and proud.

From your new confident vantage point, you’ll see the whole situation more clearly. Maybe that specific idea is actually not IT but it had many of the wanted elements. Or maybe it is IT but now you’ll be able to see it in a new light, and as something you can truly belong to, without intimidation. It all becomes clearer when you are in THE VORTEX.

Your IB is in the perfect reality, the total answer to your asking. So it really doesn’t matter if that specific thing is it or not. Because, you can get to the perfect match. The only reason why you are now attached to that specific thing is because you want your desire to happen ASAP and you fear that it will take forever to come up with another idea. Don’t think of it that way. Keep returning to the knowing that you want to attract what’s already in your Vortex. It’s not a case of someone needing to give you something. It’s a case of following your own bread crumbs to your own creation. As you know from Abraham, the thing you want is being held for you indefinitely. So in other words, you can’t miss the bus. That’s important because, as i wrote, you are tempted to jump the gun a bit. And, I really want you to know that you don’t need to fear losing the manifestation. It will wait for YOU. You are going to get what you want!

Get back in the vortex. Things will get clearer and then, boom- manifestation. And don’t hold on to that specific thing too tightly because what your IB has planned for you may be 10x better. One thing you can trust in is that your IB adores you. So trust Her creation.

You are VERY Very close.

Love,

Len

 

The real 411 on Life Coaching as a profession

Sunday, June 28th, 2009

I often get emails and phone calls from people who want to get the 411 on Life Coaching as a career. Some common questions are:

- what's it like?
- how does one become a life coach?
- can you do it full-time or do you have to get another job?
- what's good about it, what's bad about it?
- how much does it pay?
- what's the difference between life coaching and personal coaching?
- what's the difference between life coaching and therapy?

I’m going to do my best to answer all your questions and give you the real 411 (the good and the bad), so you can get a realistic idea of what life coaching is like.

 

In my opinion, life coaching is the best career there is, but just like everything else, it takes devotion and inspired effort. It takes time to become successful at it. Above else, it takes love.

First of all, life coaching is not licensed. This means that anyone can do it, and there’s no need for any degree or even certification. Now, there are many companies that offer certification (and even colleges are starting to have programs for it), but it isn’t necessary to get one.

Technically, you can become a life coach today. You can print up some business cards and call yourself a life coach. Many people do exactly that and are actually fantastic coaches. The skills you’ll be using depend on your own self-study of personal development, not something you’ll learn in traditional school. I think intuition plays a major role in helping people: you need to understand people and read between the lines. Most of all, you need to be convincing that you can help them with their problem and/or goals.

The positive aspects of this career: You work for yourself and you make your own schedule. You can work from home and usually do, as most sessions with clients happen over the phone. The money is great per hour (on average $100/hr),
which means you can work less hours. You also get to have your own business, which is fantastic. There is so much freedom in this career and it’s incredibly rewarding to help people. The sessions are usually fun and creative, and they often end up benefiting you as much as your clients.

If you care about self-improvement, you’ll learn a lot doing this. It’s also empowering to be building your own business. And how many people get to sleep ’til 2PM and do their work in their pyjamas? Well, life coaches can do this! (I do it all the time!)

The negative aspects of this career: You have to find your own clients, which isn’t easy, especially at the beginning. Just like any salesman (or woman), you have to sell yourself and your service (life coaching). So, how much you earn will depend on how many clients you can get. This can be difficult for many coaches as we are often sensitive souls who don’t want to be selling ourselves nor are good at it. However, we usually have to develop this skill or we’d have no clients. Another negative aspect is the cost of running your own business, which is very small in comparison to other types of businesses, but can take a toll when you’re first starting out. There is the cost of phone bills, having your own website, of marketing, of
business cards, of autoresponders and mailing lists, etc.

Another negative aspect of life coaching is that sessions can be draining. You won’t like all your clients equally (you’re human) and some sessions may totally depress you after talking about your client’s problems. However, if you
learn to select the right clients for you and lead the session in a positive direction, this shouldn’t be a frequent problem. As with everything, the anxiety and pressure to perform well will subside the longer you are doing this.

As you can see, most of these negatives are really just lessons to learn. Everything worth doing has challenges along the way, but that shouldn’t ever stop you from doing what you love.

Usually, life coaches start off with another job (any job) that supports them financially until their coaching starts to bring in enough money. It can be a slow process, but again, once you do have enough clients, you will work less and earn more. You’ll also start to get more referrals and you’ll be more marketing-savvy as more time passes.

All of this will depend on you.

Another common question is whether life coaching is the same thing as personal coaching. Ok, basically life coaching separates into two types: 1. Executive coaching, and 2. Personal coaching. Personal coaching is where you help individuals with their personal and professional lives. In executive coaching, you generally help business owners or executives
reach their business goals. Different people are attracted to different kinds of coaching, so choose what you would enjoy most. (I am a personal coach and I love it!)

Coaches often choose a niche. For example, you can be a relationship coach who helps single women find true love. Or you can be a coach for teens. Or you can be an executive coach for small clothing stores. The possibilities are endless.

A great way to learn about coaching is to get sessions yourself. As you work with a life coach (or perhaps more), you will begin to see how it works. Although coaches work differently, there is always the general idea of asking our clients, “where are you now and where do you want to go?” We help our clients reach their goals. Unlike therapists, we don’t talk about the past traumas much, although sometimes we do talk about the past if it will help us understand our client’s patterns. However, a good coach always keeps their client focused on the future (and not just any future, but their ideal future).

I can tell you that I would never leave life coaching as it is perfect for me! I hate working for others and I am a natural teacher of self-empowerment. This is definitely a career for those who are self-motivated and like freedom.

I hope this has answered your questions!

And I hope to have sessions with all of you and I know you’ll really enjoy them!

Please provide me some advice that could help me in becomig technically sound and my brain start functioning sharpely.In this materialistic a sharp person has more chances to get a job and to progress.
Thanks

ANSWER:

Dear Bob* ,

my sage advice in one word: RELAX!

We are all taught that our work situation depends on our skills and talents, our mental capacity, but that just isn’t true. The only thing that really matters in our finances and career is our vibration. When we’re happy and having fun, everything in our life works. When we worry, nothing does. Law of Attraction is THE LAW to pay attention to.

And the thing is, you’re worrying a lot! You’re worrying about the past, about your work, your school…. and about your worrying. That means that your vibration is very low, which means that you’re attracting many negative things in your life, because like attracts like.

The only thing you need to improve is your vibration, and the only way to do that is to decide to relax, have fun and let worries go.

Let your mantra be: More fun, less worry. More fun, less worry. More fun, less worry.

Make a list of things you enjoy doing for fun and do them more often. Watch movies, play soccer, read poetry, sleep, whatever is fun and easy for you. When a negative thought arises, let God (the Universe) handle it. The old wise saying, “Let go and let God” really works wonders for someone like you, someone who has been worrying a lot. It’s time for you to step aside and let go of trying to manage everything.

If you don’t believe me, try it out for a month. Simply make your only job to have fun, and let the universe take care of the rest. You will become happier, your vibration will rise, and as a result, you will be attracting better situations including better jobs and more money. And it will all come to you easily.

Another thing to think about is whether you even enjoy your work as a petroleum engineer. If you don’t, change it into a career you can really love. You are still very young, and you are beginning a NEW Life. Don’t waste it! This is your chance to create the life you always dreamed of.
Maybe in Afghanistan you couldn’t be your true self, but now you can. Now you can follow your genuine interests like, for example, taking acting classes because you always secretly wanted to be a famous actor, or business lessons because you always pictured yourself as a successful businessman. If money is short, find another way; do what you can with what you’ve got until more money comes- and it will! Let Canada be your new home and your new teacher; there’s a good reason why you moved to a different continent. CHANGE.

It would help you enormously to stop trying to act like a serious and responsible adult, and be a kid again (or maybe for the first time). Dream, nap, play, run.
Life is really fun when you let it be. But it’s your choice. The thing about life is that the stronger your intention to have fun, the more fun life becomes. It’s not an instantaneous process because YOU have to change, but life is really just a mirror of you. So if life right now seems all serious and full of pressure, it’s because You are serious and pressure yourself.

Another perk to having more fun is that it improves your brain function, focus, and attention. All the things you wanted to improve in the first place. But that’s just icing on the cake. The real gift is that you’ll be having fun!

I recommend you read “Ask and It is Given” by Abraham-Hicks. It will go more in-depth about Law of Attraction. You can also access more of my articles on my website: http://kissesandhearts.com

Finally, I leave you with one of my favorite quotes:

"Life is too important to be taken seriously" - Oscar Wilde

Q&A: Teenager’s life doesn’t feel real

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009

QUESTION:

Hi.
I’m very sorry if this question is in the wrong category, but I’m honestly confused on where it should go. I just need help getting through this phase in my life. When i was 15 (I’m currently 17), my life hit a difficult and hard-to-describe phase. Ever since i was 15, it’s like my life has been a gigantic dream, but not in a good way whatsoever. It’s like i’m not here, i’m just wasting away my life. I know it might be hard to understand, but this is the best way i can describe it. My life seems like one gigantic dream. I’m not “living” my life. It’s as though Im seeing it all go by, and I can’t do one thing about it.
Could this be because of a chemical deficiency? Could this be just a teenage phase? I don’t think i could have put this on myself. I don’t do drugs, drink, or smoke, so i know that couldn’t be an answer. But please, i know it might be hard to understand, but please try to e-mail me back as soon as possible. I truly need help through this. Thank you for your time.

ANSWER:

 

Hi Billy (*name changed for privacy),yes, this is the right place for your question!

I know that a lot of people may tell you that you may have some chemical deficiency and put you on some drug. However, even our body chemistry is caused by our vibration (our thoughts and emotions). To change your issue, you need to focus your thoughts in a positive direction (more on that later).

If you are familiar with the Law of Attraction, you will know that the more you think of something, the more it appears in your life. Since you have been saying over and over to yourself in the past 2 years that life appears to not be real, you have attracted even more of that mental state and experiences in your life. It doesn’t matter how it started, so don’t try to figure that out. That won’t help. What matters now is how to change that and become happy.

Since you bring up the issue of dreams and feeling like you’re wasting your life, let’s talk about your dreams! What are your dreams? What do you want to accomplish in your life? Are there any scenarios, locations, careers or hobbies that you feel called to experience? I know that you must have dreams, for we all do. And as a teenager, you must have a lot!

So, the cure for you my dear is to start thinking about your passion(s), and then DO IT. Start with baby steps, but do your best to move forward with it. Then you will find yourself really living!
[You may wish to start with a free online class I created called "Find Your Passion", which is located here: http://kissesandhearts.com/classes/free-class-find-your-passion/]

The question of “What Excites Me?” is the most important question to ask yourself.

It may help you to know that many people experience what you are now experiencing, and actually, it is a very good thing because it means that you are going through a TRANSFORMATION. Obviously for you, when you hit 15, the life you knew, as a child, started to change. What your parents live or believe is no longer enough. You are now at a stage where you are ready to define yourself!

So how do you want to define yourself? Who do you want to become? That’s what life is asking of you now, and if you follow your excitement and intuition no matter what anyone else says, you will become a very happy and empowered young man. And very quickly too!

It’s very important that you define a very clear intention for yourself. Again, something that calls you and excites you. When you have a clear positive self-defined direction in your life, you will feel much better. You’ll know where you’re headed, and it will feel magical!

You’re ok kid. Nothing’s wrong with you. Now go out there and become the person you really want to be (because that’s who you actually are)!

Lots of love to you,

Q&A: Fixing friends’ relationship…

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009

 

Question:

Hello,

I really hope you can help me solve this seeming unsolvable problem. Between two friends of mine.

My friend and her ex-boyfriend. Had a break-up five months ago. The reason he broke-up with her, was due to the fact she had friends finding “dirt” on him. There was no dirt to be found, but his girlfriend eventually started asking numerous questions about it, causing way too many unnecessary fights and arguments. Which in turn cause unnecessary stress.

This boy, my friend’s ex-boyfriend, says he cared very much about her. He realized just how much she meant, when things started to go wrong. He tried almost everything to stop the arguments and fights, but due to several others on the sideline telling his girlfriend(my friend), otherwise, things weren’t able to be fixed.  Even as they tried to be friends several times after the breakup, arguments and fights would still happen, they gave up.

Shortly after, a month or two, She moved across country. I don’t believe a real chance was given to being in a relationship or being friends again.

To me it honestly seems he doesn’t want to let her go. As I’m a friend of his ex. I recently just started talking to him, about a month ago, other friends of his ex are talking to him also, trying to convince him to be friends with her again, including me. People continue to ask him questions and try to convince him, all he says is “no, I don’t care, its going to take a lot more to convince me, I’m stubborn it will never happen, if you can break my stubbornness maybe it will happen, etc etc.”. If he doesn’t want to be her friend, and he knows we definitely are going to try and convince him to be her friend again, why doesn’t he just block all of us?

His reasons and answers change from day to day. He has admitted a lot of things. He even realizes he was wrong during the relationship in some spots. He is an extremely stubborn person, he “blocks” his emotions as he says, and also purposely “forgets” things. I know for a fact he wants to be her friend again. Why is he being this way, what can I say or do to get him to realize that he shouldn’t throw away a friendship of four years.

Not too long ago, about a week or two, his ex girlfriend (my friend) was in an accident. Last night I received a phone call from her, she is fine. I had purposely posted an offline message to him, saying “she had died”. I might have been wrong for doing that, but it’s the only way to get this man to open his eyes and release a little bit of his stubbornness. I then signed on a few hours later and I received a message from him right away as I signed on, asking me if it was really true.

Can you make any sense out of this situation? What can I do to help him see, he’s being stupid and him being stubborn isn’t necessary at all? He hints to all of us that he wants to be convinced, why is this?

 
Answer from Len:

My dear Adam* (*name changed to protect questionner’s & his friends’ privacy) ,

you’re not going to like this answer (at first), but try to keep an open mind anyway and read all of it. I promise you it will save you from more trouble in the future.

First & Foremost: IT’S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!!!!

None of this relationship is any of your business. No one has elected you counsel, and yet here you are talking about it and even trying to “fix” it as if it’s somehow yours. It’s between your friends and they are fully capable of making their own decisions. It’s obvious there was a lack of trust between them before, and as it is said, “It’s called a breakup because it’s broken.”

Given your intense interest in this situation, your actions, and even your temporary lie to your friend that his ex has died, I can tell you that you are being controlling and manipulative. You are doing it all under the “innocent” pretense that you care about your friends, but really, this is about YOU and your emotions.

Sweetheart, we all have shadows, and we all need healing. You really need to ask yourself why, instead of thinking about your own life, you are choosing to try to control someone else’s.
Your friend is not the stubborn one and he isn’t the one who can’t deal with his emotions- in fact, YOU ARE! When a person has trouble dealing with their own emotions, they tend to attach to other people’s problems. That’s exactly what you are doing here.

Please look into your own issues. There are many things in your own life that you are not dealing with and should. You are presently using your friends to ignore your own problems. Leave your friends alone because they know what’s best for them and have taken the right actions for them.

In addition, look into your own romantic history or current love life. It’s very likely that you are really projecting your own romantic feelings and regrets onto your friend. It’s even likely that you have a secret crush on one (or both) of your friends, and are too afraid to admit it to yourself, so you try to fix their relationship instead.

This reminds me of a small example of this in the movie “The Wedding Planner”. The character that Jennifer Lopez played had an insightful story about how her former best girlfriend was being a little too helpful and caring with all her (Jen’s) wedding details. Turns out, her girlfriend was in love with Jen’s fiancee!

There is a “selfish” reason why you are so intensely interested in this relationship. That reason may be a different one, but it exists. Find it!

Dig deep and be brave, because this is about you. Your question is all about you. Should you accept my challenge, you will learn something new about yourself and be liberated.

I’m glad you wrote because many people are doing exactly the same thing you are, and they need to read this.

I hope that someday soon, when you have really learned from this and soul-searched, you will share my advice with others.

Q&A: I’m too complicated!

Monday, January 26th, 2009

 

QUESTION:

Hello, my name is Paola and I’m 19 years old.
Recently I’ve accepted that I have been living my life in a completely wrong way and I can’t change it to the way I want. I hope you can help me! My problem is that I’m TOO COMPLICATED. It makes me suffer because I think over and over things that aren’t worth it. I have a very good life; I like what I study, I love my boyfriend (and he as a person is everything I could wish for), I have a nice family which supports me in every aspect and have hardly any conflicts with them, I have good friends, I like myself, etc. But, although at certain moments I feel absolutely happy with everything I have… most of the time I just forget it! And get lost in silly things. I’m sure I can be more than happy with everything I have, in fact, at times I really am happy (it’s not like I WANT anything else or want changes… I really do like my life) BUT I don’t know why I just can’t feel it. I’m a very sensible person and immediately feel bad about things; I easily get angry, offended, sad, worried. But with happiness it works the other way around, it’s there but I can hardly feel it.  It’s not like I’m being silly or “blocked” because, as you see, I really think about how fortunate I am (and I know I really am!), I even write things down and then read them to help me feel better… and it works sometimes, but it requires an effort. (For example now after writing this I can tell you surely with a smile on my face: I am happy!)   I sometimes think this is because maybe I just think things too much (and I can’t help it), or maybe because I’m just naturally depressive or something like that… I don’t understand. And it’s a problem for me because I’m afraid I might lose people I appreciate (by complicating with little problems) and also sometimes feel unable to demonstrate other people how special they are to me… It would only feel natural to me to do it if they are dying, if they are breaking up with me… in extreme situations (and I know that is SO WRONG of me) So, in conclusion, my question is: How can I really appreciate things in life and learn to be happy about them naturally? (Is this possible?) I know I can work on it, but can it be something natural? I mean, will my immediate reactions someday reflect what I really should feel(for example joy instead of… worry) ?    I’m sorry if this was too long. Thank you very much for reading! Good bye, have a nice day.
Paola.

 

ANSWER:

Dear Paola,

I appreciate your question and wish I could talk to you in person, because I know I would be able to help you with more precision.

You can absolutely be happy (there is nothing wrong with you at all), but that doesn’t mean settling for the mediocre. It’s wonderful to appreciate the good things in your life and be grateful, but it’s also natural and necessary for each person to want to grow and to fulfill their FULL potential.

The feeling that I am getting Paola is that you are not yet at your full potential, and deep down you know this! You feel guilty for wanting more because all your friends and family think that you should be happy with what you have. Even you are telling yourself that you live a good life and should not want more.

But deep down, you know there are these desires in your heart that you aren’t living yet. There is so much more to you! Life is huge, amazing, magical, and worth exploring! So are you! Maybe you want to travel to far away places and discover new worlds. Maybe you want to live differently than your family and friends. Maybe there is a whole set of talents and abilities in you that you haven’t discovered yet. I think it’s all of the above.

There is no shame in wanting something different or better, even if what you have is by most people’s standards great.  There have been many great men and women in history who gave up everything they had, even though they had cushy lives, because they wanted to discover more of themselves and the world. The result was that, in addition to achieving their full potential, they ended up revolutionizing their societies and evolving the human consciousness.

You have to get out there, into the unknown, to discover what’s calling you. You may not know what you want now, but your heart is telling you that there is more out there for you. Things you’ve never experienced before. This is what pioneers and explorers do. They are usually not satisfied with the ordinary, no matter how good in other people’s eyes.

Paola, I strongly suggest that you allow yourself to feel your negative feelings and allow yourself to want more out of life. Ask the universe to show you what you need to do next and look for signs. Follow your heart. Don’t worry about what others will think of you. They may think you are crazy to make certain changes, but their opinion doesn’t matter at all.

My heart tells me that you are ready for the next level! I think you are one of those special humans who is here to discover new things, and you are bored with your current life. Just admit it and start looking for new adventures. Take classes that call you, read about explorers, make new friends who think outside of the box or who have travelled more extensively to places you’ve never been to. These things will inspire you and challenge you to grow.

“Complicated” is a negative word for “complex”. Being complex implies that you are above average, able to do what others cannot. Paola, there is nothing wrong with you, you are just meant to do great things.

In my own life, when I was in my early twenties, my peers often used to say to me, “you think too much” and “you over-analyze.” The truth was that they just didn’t understand me because I’m a very deep thinker and I can focus for hours and hours on many aspects and layers and possible interpretations of one issue. Most people cannot. I now use this ability in my work with clients, which makes me very VERY good at what I do, so it helps my clients, and it also makes me great money and I love doing it! The same is true for you. Your complexity is your gift! You just need to find a way to use it in a way that excites you.

The world needs you, so don’t keep yourself small.

I’d like to leave you with these two quotes.

“Throw away the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”  -MARK TWAIN

“Only those who dare to fail miserably can achieve greatly.” – ROBERT KENNEDY
