There are a lot of people out there calling themselves coaches, and delivering something other than coaching to their clients. This is unfortunate, but expected in a new profession. While coaching is well established, it's still only about fifteen years or so old, and so, there is a lot of variation. Fortunately, all coaching works to some degree. Unfortunately, most coaching doesn't work as well as it could.

There are many reasons why Core Energy Coaching is a truly transformational solution-focused approach to assisting clients, but perhaps none more important than this: Core Energy Coaches do not give advice! Think about this - when you tell someone what to do, one of four things will happen.

1) They listen to your advice and it works out. When this happens, they give you credit for their success and become dependent on you and others in the future.

2) They listen to your advice and it doesn't work out. In this case, they blame you, and they don't learn.

3) They don't listen to your advice and do something else that works out. Great for them, but what about your value as a coach; down the drain.

4) They don't listen to you and they still struggle. No one wins. By the way, there is nothing more frustrating than feeling like you know how to help someone, and instead of allowing you to help, they continue suffering.

So how can you help people in the most effective way without giving advice? First, trust that the person you’re speaking with knows the answer.. Your job is to get it out. That's not an easy job, actually, and if it were, everyone would be able to do it. In fact, you need hundreds of hours of coaching training to be able to do that well. But once you master the process, you're in for a totally empowering experience for your clients, as well as for you. There's nothing more fulfilling than to partner with someone to see them create their own solutions - solutions that allow them to thrive.

You can learn the power of the Core Energy Process in the Life Potentials Training, found on iPEC's website at www.iPECcoaching.com, and, if you're ready to make a tremendous difference in your life and others, you can consider continuing on from the Life Potentials Training to the rest of iPEC's accredited coach training program.

So many people don’t like the job that they have, and believe that their work environment isn’t what they’d like it to be.  Recently, the daughter of a friend of mine asked me to give her some advice for how to make a good impression at her new job.   As those of you know me realize, I always like a good joke – or a bad one – so I wrote this top 10 list for her on ways NOT to behave at work. 

Do you see yourself in any of these statements? If so, realize what energy are your bringing to your workplace environment, and that when you change your own actions and attitudes, you can change your work environment – all by yourself.  And so...

The Top 10 Ways to Motivate Your Boss So Much...
That He Fires You.

10) Come in just a few minutes late each day. Not just your boss, but all your co-workers will appreciate your doing that.

9) Make sure you use all your personal days in the first quarter.

8) When asked to do something different from the norm, have your job description ready and say "Hey, show me where I'm supposed to do that!"

7) Take your vacation at the busiest time of the year for the company. If they won't give you the time off, take it anyway.

6) Have your monitor face you, so that when people enter your office they look at you, and not the computer games you're playing.

5) Keep your desk as cluttered as possible. It makes you look busy and bosses love looking at piles of work.

4) Snub all the new hires; they need to earn you as a friend, and make sure you let them know that.

3) Tell your customers how lousy it is where you work. If possible, throw in a derogatory statement or two about your boss.

2) Gossip, gossip, gossip.

And the top way to impress your boss so much that he'll fire you is...

1) Make sure you ask for a raise as often as possible, but only after you found out what others in the company are making so you can use that information to your advantage.
