What About Your Personal Life?
Friday, October 2, 2009 at 08:46PM We've been discussing the significance of developing your Coaching skills (communication, how you relate to others, your leadership and influence) and how this impacts your income level more than anything else you do.
But What About Your Personal Life?
Can coaching skills really make a difference in your relationships with...
Your spouse or "significant other"?
Your kids?
Your parents?
Your Friends?
People you meet throughout your day?
I think Adrian Schleis summed this up well.
Click the link below to hear Adrian and his son describe how just ONE class with Barbara helped him to...
And how that's impacted him.
Coaching Skills Take A Load Off...
Think how valuable it would be if you were better understood... and if you could understand others and have them feel more understood by you. With ease.
How much weight could be lifted if your spouse or significant other got what you were doing in your business better. Or, if you had more tools (communication skills) that got the kids to work with you, rather than against you--only adding to the overwhelm.
This is a BIG deal.

Watching this brief video was very touching. Seeing how 'learning to listen' has made such a positive impact on Adrian's young son. Think about how learning coaching skills can change the family dynamics in a positive way.
Wow. Coaching Cognition will be a fantastic training platform.
It's all about relationships. Life, business, success, personal fulfillment. Coaching skills teach you about "doing" relationships better..listening better..paying attention better...tuning in better!!
Improving my communication skills has always been important to me. Not so much the possibility of a paid coaching opportunity after Coaching Cognition with Marketing Merge (which is attractive, mind you) but more so for the fact that I will be able to interact with my husband, my children and friends in a much better way.
It will be a way that will empower people instead of point fingers. Pointing fingers serves no purpose at all but we all do it unless we have been taught how not to do it. It is still possible to get what we want and get our point across without making the other person feel less valued.
Coaching cognition will be where these skills are learned and practiced.
Zeroing in on Coaching Cognition
There are many places I can turn to access coaching for personal development.
Recently, I attended a conference that provided a hugely discounted value with a renowned coaching agency.
I have decided, that Coaching Cognition is where I will seek my personal development.
I have a deep confidence in Barbara Silva, her values and track record for succeeding in making meaningful changes in her students' lives. I look forward to learning to be a better listener and working through "blocks" of personal baggage.
It feels good to be able to say "no" to many other similar services that may provide great training, but do not fit for me at this time.
Even if I were to never use this tool in my business, and I do, I am seeing how my coaching skills are very valuable in everything I do that involves communicating with others.
I find myself taking a reflective pause before rushing in, and really listen. I might not have done that before.
Continued training and practice will enrich my relationships and communication even further. Now, that's valuable!
Meeting all these new people through Attraction marketing is
enriching. Everyone is helpful and everyone is looking for ways
to improve their family life as well as for ways to make money, monetizing, without being a pest in the old network marketing
way.
As an internet marketer who is moving toward financial independence, communication skills are vital to the base of my business.
I have observed those who are moving quickly in building their business seem to be those who are willing to get the help and coaching needed and learn the small steps needed to gain progress in a short period of time.
Even though many, if not most of us are motivated to do well in our businesses for the sake of our families, it is family time and communication that often gets sacrificed for the sake of the business.
I worked with young children and their families for many many years and I am deeply passionate about the support and nurturing of our family and youth. The smile on Hunter's face in this video lets me sleep very, very well at night!
Communication is the most important thing we need to be able to be friends with everybody that you come in contact with every day. I can see that by being a better listener friends come to me with a problem and they know that I am there to listen to thier hurts. I can communicate with my children and spouse much better. I also need this coaching and leadership for my business.
I never though of coaching as a skill to improve our life, and relationship, outside of business, until I read this article,and watch Adrian's video.
Communication skills are good to have but coaching skills are GREAT to have. I didn't realize how great until I started picking up the phone to call new leads and it wasn't the least bit heavy!
In nursing, communication skills are keen to have in order to ask the right questions during an assessment or in order to motivate a multi-discipline healthcare group to become a team. I loved all of that.
But even at the masters level, none of my classes gave me the confidence I needed, and now have (!) in order to confidently contact strangers - knowing that I can help them take their business to the next level.
Barbara, the pilot coaching group and our sessions inside Coaching Cognition gave me that!
Thank you Mike and Barbara and all CC Coaches!
