Coach your clients to increase their awareness of their personal interface with the environment.

Florida_traffic__2_2 Coaching, as a profession is very "green."

Most coaching involves assisting clients to de-clutter their lives - everything that impacts their personal ecology, both the visible and invisible. Our coaching conversations can even expand into how our clients and their companies are reducing their waste, and identify inefficient use of resources that can definitely impact profits and progress.

As an industry, since most coaching is done by telephone, think of how many "office visits" we are saving and car miles that are reduced - thereby saving lots of electricity and gasoline while reducing pollution.

Although I recognize face-to-face contact is important in coaching and marketing your business, but even that reduces the environmental impact because much of marketing can be done electronically; and networking in most instances is done locally.

And, best of all, coach training at the Institute for Life Coach Training,(both basic and advanced) is done over the phone, allowing people to switch from commuting to work each day to an exciting profession where they can live green each and every day!

Are we a drive-up window society? Coaching creates intimacy – a quality we lost somewhere in our travels.

Plugged_in_and_caffinated More than ever, we are connected to our iPods, strange blinking Bluetooths and Blackberries.

I have learned through my studies at ILCT that more of us are feeling alone and disconnected from relationships.

We have built a drive-up-microwave-Starbucks, type of society.  Our conversations are quick, short and vague. We don’t practice listening to our intuitive, inner voice about how we feel and think. We spend more time trying to change others than perfect ourselves.

Coaching fills this void.

Coaching and its emerging success has came about because we are in need of more listening…more intimacy.  Coaching offers an egalitarian relationship. A type of relationship we infrequently create or develop in our lives.

Humans are relationship creatures. Through coaching, we have a chance to slow down, develop deep intimate conversations, re-connect and find meaning and purpose in our lives.

Even while we enjoy a Caramel Macchiato Espresso.
