Um…” Papyrus said, after a minute of oblivious silence. “Is something on your mind, friend? Because I’m a great listener.”
Life coaches claim to work with deep psychological and spiritual issues, such as relationships between humans while having a very vague understanding of the nature of humans. These professionals provide the drive and guidance their clients need to improve their careers, relationships, and lives. They help clients to: Your past has already happened. Your future is malleable but it’s not in your full control. So what you’re left with is right now. To make judgements based on your past is to make the same mistake as million do each day, falling victim to sunk cost fallacy, remaining invested in the past and not the presence. It was a lofty but attainable ambition, considering that the coaching industry was on the verge of its own boom. One industry group estimates that the number of life coaches grew by a third between 2015 and 2019. As permanent jobs gave way to a gig-based economy, coaching suited an anxious workforce scrambling to monetize side hustles and cope with burnout. It was like therapy, but more outcome-based; it could even help you make more money. Castillo’s methodology, with its blend of CBT, mindfulness and entrepreneurialism, all held together with the force of her personality, promised swift, tangible results to those who put in the work. “My work is very practical, but it’s also magical,” Castillo told me. “I don’t lose anyone, because I’m practical enough that I keep the engineers and woo enough that I keep the tarot card reader people.” Coaching is an entirely unregulated industry – there are no oversight boards, no standard curricula, no codes of ethics; if I wanted to hang out my shingle as a life coach tomorrow, no one would stop me. Coaching is distinct from therapy, in that it tends to focus on helping functional people improve their lives, rather than treating people with clinical issues – although those lines aren’t always clear.Many others have a different result. Doreen* completed LCS certification in 2019. “All of a sudden, in a year, you’re a business owner. It’s just like – what webcam do I use? What business insurance do I get? And how do I get out of my own way?” Like Blatt and Olivia, Doreen had hoped to make coaching her full-time job, but instead had “very few” paid clients. “That’s the story of a lot of people I’ve talked to. They have a few paid clients, or they have none,” she told me. c) what’s going to happen is instead of improving the service and creating the kind that one can really be proud of, the poor guy is going to torture himself and his friends with overexaggerated and frankly annoying “sense of self-value” It’s a lifelong learning that makes you very humble. Uncomfortably humble in the culture, where “knowing it all” is the “quality standard”. Your life coach or wellness coach will offer support and guidance along the way. And your coach will hold you accountable for achieving your goals. Why would somebody want to pay money for something that doesn’t take them from where they don’t want to be to where they do want to be?
Actually, I became way more conscientious, laborious and effective in life coaching since I liberated myself from the life-coaching industry. I’m afraid this book has been the reason why I’ll stop following James. The book title should have been “how to be better at using social media based on physics”. The only possible reason why he abruptly kept quoting Einstein about the law of thermodynamics in a self improvement book is the effort to seem smarter even though “he didn’t do school”. In 1995, the nonprofit International Coaching Federation (ICF), an independent credentialing body, attempted to impose a set of standards and a code of ethics on the industry, and met with middling success. Although tens of thousands of coaches belong to the ICF, many more – including Castillo, who has dismissed the ICF as clubby and ineffective – do not. Instead, she opted to create her own certification program via the Life Coach School, which she founded with her husband, Chris, in 2007. Initially, LCS trainings took place largely in person. A couple dozen students would gather at the Holiday Inn Express in El Dorado Hills, California, where they spent a week learning Castillo’s signature product, the CTFAR Model: all circumstances (C) are neutral; your thoughts (T) create your feelings (F), which inspire your actions (A), which lead to your results (R). Course materials promised CTFAR “can literally solve any problem”. No, you can’t help anyone build better relationships or better business by just asking questions and reflecting. It’s only one ingredient of the recipe. Some monsters were easy to remake into all sorts of cool toys. Some were just easy to break, or broke in spectacular ways. He was curious to find out which kind Papyrus would be.And the hardest part — you need to be able to distinguish between something that can be learned and something that must be realized from the inside. In June, Hollingsworth filed a complaint with the Texas attorney general’s office about the new “active coach” policy, among other issues. “The public view of The Life Coach School looks impressive. LCS has created a highly skilled marketing machine that attracts new recruits in ever-increasing numbers,” she wrote. “But behind the paywall, LCS coaches know that there are problems. We also know that we have been groomed to not say anything about these problems, or even to think that they are problems.” We’ve also talked about making no guarantees previously. Here’s a short disclaimer you can use to express that to your readers.
