   Listening to Dr. Ellie Drake really impressed upon me how important Coaching Cognition is for all aspects of my life.

   Getting in touch with the “heart” of the matter may be easy for some, but most of us need guidance and there is no guide I would rather be a student of than that of Dr. Ellie and Barbara Silva.

   Dear Mike and Partners:

   You keep providing SO much enormous value to your community.

   Personally, I have been a fan of Dr. Ellie Drake for some time.

   Unfortunately, I am unable to get that above VIDEO to work – but I’ll keep trying.

   Perhaps there’s a ‘glitch’ in the software?

   Warmly / Peter A.

   Ellie teaches us from her own personal experience. She has learned to listen to her inner self. Ellie takes consistent action. She admonishes her listeners to do the same.

   When she teaches about becoming a good listener, it comes from her heart. Ellie encourages each student to “lean on your own authentic self”; to sit up straight; keep muscles relaxed; to speak and write from where you are coming from.

   Oh, there is so much more in the 9 Tips in Listening that she gave in this webinar. It is certainly a gift to be able to listen to it repeatedly.

   Thank you Ellie, Thank you Mike and Didi and the Marketing Merge team.

   It’s been a while since I heard Ellie and must admit had lost track of her.

   Thanks Mike for sharing this with everyone who was not able to listen to the conference.

   “…Entrepreneurs are good coach, and good coaches are good listeners”

   “Learning to know who you are and what you stand for”

   Most importantly, how one could develop to communicate success, help others achieve it, and establish one’s organizational culture.

   Will you be the coach that you will hire to coach ‘you’? So profound.

    Prior to listening to Ellie, I wasn’t sure I had the time to join Coaching Cognition, but hearing Mike and Ellie talk I knew I had to make the time, even if it meant putting my other projects on hold.

    Thank you very much to Ellie for spending time with us and for Mike and Didi for arranging it and putting the recording up for all of us to listen to. For me the ‘aha’ was learning when to interrupt at the right place. I allow people to unload themselves and I have learned it is OK to interrupt and bring them back to the essence. The 9 tips are critical for everyone to be aware of and to practice.

    Unfortunately, I missed the “live” program, but, nonetheless, I thoroughly appreciated the insightful suggestions Ellie made on the playback.

    I plan to listen to it entirely again and view the interviews for further insight.

    Thanks again, Mike, Didi & of course, Ellie Drake!

    Thank you Ellie and Mike for such an inspiring teaching.

    Great to learn how to become a good listener – be able to communicate with your authentic self, listen with your heart and align with your body language even though when we are on the phone, so important.

    Develop the ability to know who we are first and people will follow.

    Lots of valuable tips to help developing ourselves from within first so we can coach and lead others.

    “I am my own product, invest in myself” a gem!

    Thanks again

    Listening to Ellie, I was struck by the similarities between her strategies and those, which I learned to employ, whilst becoming a radio interviewer, back in the 1970’s.

    I learned from George Yeatman, a dear man, who invested time and considerable energy in teaching me the fundamentals of being a good interviewer.

    I listened to him and, with all modesty, I did become better at it. But, having been in denial, for too long, I had turned my back on interviewing people, for a living.

    Now, realising that I still have something to offer, I am, thanks to Ellie, once more determined to use my poor talents.

    Not just in the search for a pot of gold, but in the deepfelt need to become a valued part of my business community – valued, through my ability to reach out, through the medium of sound and, by doing so, to help others achieve more, from their businesses.

    Thanks, Ellie. You have inspired me.

    Thank you, Mike, for sharing this aspect of your success. To be able to improve ones self both professionally and personally is something that I look forward to. I know that I will listen to Ellie several more times and have already jumped to her website. I am sure that the coaching cognition course is going to be very worthwhile and look forward to adding this to my plate as I continue to work through your other trainings. Your ability to give the entire recipe, or set of skills, to us through Renegade Breakthrough has simply been amazing. Thank you for pushing us, while holding our hands along the way!

    if someone want to be a good coach,
    ferst of all, he has to build and establish good communication with the people. for to divelop the skills of making good communication, first of all we have to listen and to be interesting and to be focus to the massage which is sent to us, and to listen to ourselves intuition.

    In just few days I’ve been able to practice the tips that Ellie shared during the call. It’s such a wealth of information that I have to go back to my notes often. These are not just skills for Network Marketing but for life.
    Thank you everyone for such an amazing learning experience.

    I am so thankful that this was recorded because I was unable to attend the original podcast.

    Ellie is so very inspirational and the points made truly hit some important spots with me.

    Thank you for sharing so much value with us all.

    WOW! That’s all I have to say for NOW. WOW!
    And thank you, of course, to Ann and Michael, for giving me this wonderful opportunity to meet such a great lady. Dr. Drake is the first person ever who could put into words what made me such a success with what many call “problem students” or children in general. Until now I had no idea of what I now understand to be “visceral listening”. Even though I don’t remember even hearing the word before, I must have just been born with it which would explain why so many students often told me that until meeting me, they had never felt “inspired” to want to learn or what made me so popular whenever I was in sales.
    Like Peter Arnold, I had a hard time to get the video to work for days but I found the trick today! It just took a little patience to allow the blue bottom line to upload all the way before I began to listen or else it kept cutting off, which I did by putting it on pause afer clicking “play”. Then it was smooth sailing. Not only did I listen to it twice but filled a whole notebook of just about every word she had to say.
    By the way, I really enjoyed Peter Arnold’s website which, out of sheer curiosity, because we had the same problem, I was glad I checked. Duty calls right now but I will go back to it soon. Hoping I will one day have the know-how to acquire one of my own (website that is), I keep on learning all that I can about it and about having an internet business I can be passionate about. With Ann Sieg’s “The Renegade Network Marketer”, which I am still reading, I will surely learn as I believe I saw something to that effect on Page 94.
    “NOW”, and at the risk of repeating myself, I will say all that I have to say about this video: “WOW”.

    What an absolute pleasure listening to Ellie! I was hanging on every word. She is so natural and friendly. A perfect example of what she is teaching us.

    I used a couple of the tips and noticed a difference already. It’s not hard, just have to be aware of it.

    Thank you Didi and Mike for arranging this call for us. What tremendous value! And I have taken Ellie up on her free gifts. Very generous of her.

    Mike, Didi, and Ann, this has been a tremendous teaching for living daily in work, play,and community. Especially, because this takes one out a self-centered mode of operation to a caring tactile– caring mode. Listening is essential for listening to others, self, and inner self of both. Dr. Drake is so inspiring to be patient, attentive, and encouraging personally. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP TO GROW AND BE SUCCESSFUL. I am thankful for her free gifts.

    It is difficult to find the words to express my gratitude for what Ellie and Mike have shared with us on this call.

    It was so good to be brought back to basics and to remember “I am my product” therefore I invest in myself in order to be that genuine giver that tends to be forgotten in the rat race of life.

    It was of those soul touching moments. Thank you so much.

    Mike and Didi the live conference call with Ellie Drake was truly educational and inspiring.

    Thank you Ellie for exploring and explaining the listening skills from within. The 9 tips were great. I will be listening to this audio again and again.

    Thanks

    Ellie web-cast was truly awesome. I enjoyed every moment as I sat there and listen to speak about coaching and how it helps an individual in more ways than one. I’m grateful I had an opportunity to listen to her first hand. She’s truly insightful…

    Thank you,

    Fabulous call. I am so glad you cover listening to yourself is the path to listening at a deeper level to others. Excellent information. A breath of fresh air. The power of asking the right questions, and taking the time to respond at a deeper level.

    Thank you, Everyone for all the amazing comments. And Welcome to all of you who joined the Coaching Cognition training course with Barbara Silva and Renegade Professional. We are still open for a short time and I hope that we will have the opportunity to welcome you as well to this empowering journey.

    @MarieLeonard – I totally agree with you that most of us definitely need guidance to getting in touch with ourselves. Those of us who don’t resist that thought will be moving faster toward it.

    @PeterArnold – Great to hear from you, Peter. We posted a quick link below the video above to QuickTime player which you might need to download to be able to play it.

    @EdHyslip – Hey Ed, Welcome to Coaching Cognition. Looking forward to collaborating and interacting with you on the calls with Barbara and on the Coaching Cognition Blog.

    @MohamedRidhaBouguerra – Thank you for the comment. Happy to hear you enjoyed the call with Ellie and that inspired you to start improving your listening skills.

    Thanks for the comments @CarnealHarris, @AndrewCollinson and @JimBradley – Good listening skills = building great relationships = building successful business = pure gold ☺

    @Patcampbell – I know you’ve been personally coached by Ellie and I am glad that you share with everyone some of the characteristics that you’ve gotten to know her to posses, that are a big part of why she is so successful. Definitely, consistency, listening to her inner self, being in touch with her heart and intuition, authenticity are just some of those characteristics.

    Partners in Progress,

    Adding on to the spirit of what has already been stated, I too, found the call interview both inspiring and challenging: both times.

    You say, “both times?” Yes, I just listened one ore time a few short moments ago.

    1. Page open.
    2. Keyboard ready.
    3. And taking notes while “the music was being played” again so-to-speak.

    Stopping.
    Pausing the lesson.
    Grabbing the important points.
    Trying to sense what I was to learn.

    All important ways to get to most out what was not only graciously shared for us but also provided for us to take advantage of listening to as much as desired.

    In addition, several of my “take-aways” from Mike at the conclusion were thoughts such as the following:

    Merely begin your next step.
    Merely start focusing on it.
    Begin “facing towards it.”

    Me? I like the “begin facing towards it.” For some reason, I liked that phrase. Possibly because I like the concept of “leaning into” a thought, idea or a person’s advice.

    I am grateful to Ellie, Mike and the Renegade Professional team for making this available.

    May you and those you love enjoy a wonderful weekend,

    Lee

    @Didi, Ellie and BraveHeartWomen give tremendous value. In coaching she truly is able to get to the core of the matter, even though I at times, was not ready to face them. But,it got work done

    Coaching Cognition is billing to be a most significant personal development program available to the individual serious about making changes.

    With Barbara Silva, Curtis Johnson and now Dr. Ellie Drake–three very wise, intuitive practitioners working with us intimately—wow, I am so glad for this opportunity.

    Coaching Cognition will be an instrument of change for each participant. The training program will equip a team of coaches impacting the community that reaches out to them in tangible ways. How empowering.

    The nuggets in this webinar was outstanding because it is the application of knowledge that is truly powerful. If you are unable to connect in a genuine way with your potential business partners then your business will never grow to the extent that you want to grow. Many people hide behind auto responders and email but the most successful people figure out the best way to connect with their partners. Ellie Drake was tremendous and the knowledge was unsurpassed by anything I have heard in a few months.

    Knowing that Dr Ellie Drake is contributing to our Coaching Cognition course does influence people’s decision to take it.

    It did not for me, as I knew that this course would impact my life in a positive way right from the start.

    Having Dr. Drake’s contribution is just icing on the cake.
