As always, I’m super inspired by your words and I can absolutely vouch for the Coaching Cognition platform. Talk about empowerment. This course empowers us to take leaders to the next level. My confidence in helping others find their biggest challenges in business is growing by leaps and bounds.

Thank you Mike and Barbara for CC.

PS If you are thinking about NOT taking this course, click on my name to see what I have to say about that

“- Loving what you do”
- While the good money flows inward
- And the value you offer flows out”

Yes, and I think I would add: “loving what you do and why
you do it.” And you’ve reflected here and elsewhere you
desire to help others as a major motivating factor.

In other words, a true heart-felt “why” can motivate us in
so many areas. Like, for example, from your “why” for
sharing the emails and moving forward with Coaching
Cognition.

“I’d allow the ‘marketing’ to unfold on its own
spontaneously.”

I took that as flowing from your “why” and, frankly, loved
reading it.

“Instead, I focus on CONNECTING with people who really need
what we offer but just don’t know it yet, and then on
effectively COMMUNICATING what we offer so they totally
‘get’ it.”

Yes, in fact I appreciated listening to Dean Caporella
yesterday relative to having the perspective of the other
person in mind while writing articles. Again, viewing things
from the needs, wants and desires of the other person –
along with my heart’s desire to truly meet those needs –
and then communicating my heart whether in a written format
like an article or a series of emails. Neat blend!

On another point…

You mentioned Claire’s “authenticity” in her talk. Yes,
actually I took that in last evening and thought the same
thing. Simple, straight forward communication from one
person to another sharing how Barbara has helped her.

Now there’s a “talking point” for anyone:

1. Simple.
2. Straight forward.
3. Sincere.

(I feel an article coming on, lol!)

In fact, I went from listening there to Claire to one of her
training videos in Renegade Pro.

And, of course, Barbara has already been a real
encouragement and help to me as I travel along this
“attraction marketing path.” A definite “Go-Giver.”

Thanks for sharing these, Mike. I’ve already made a file
for this one and “the essential list” one in recent days. I
plan to review them again.

I hope you all are able to assist many in reaching their dreams,

Thanks, that answers my question. Helping and interacting with people is an important and exciting part of the business I want to create. I know listening is important, but I also know it’s much more than that and I don’t have much experience from a business standpoint.

You are right. For the last two years I have been learning to listen more closely to my heart and gut – that inner knowing – and it has served me well. Things just seem to fall into place and I am now learning skills I never thought I would be learning. When I saw your webinars on coaching I couldn’t stop thinking about it. It feels both exciting and a little scary. It is obvious to me that it is of great value.

Thank you

For me, I knew coaching was what I wanted to do because of my lifelong love of helping people in this particular way. Follow both your heart and your “gut.” They will tell you what is the best timing for you!

Well, Mike, you’ve hit the nail on the head again. You are definitely in your power as a mentor and business coach/trainer.

You well know the ebbs and flow of self doubt I have journeyed through. I am finding a centre of strength and absolutely looking forward to working with Barbara and Coaching Cognition to build that out.

Long ago, I learned to trust you. When the systems failed, you didn’t. The kind of authenticity you demonstrate here is a common thread through the years. I think you are spot on listening to your gut in regards to the marketing process that will work best for you.

I’ll just add, as one of Coaching Cognition’s new coaches, it’s that little bit of helpful doubt that makes me strive to be a better coach and not just rely on what I already know, even though I totally trust my decision and the path I’ve chosen.
