Life Coaches are now all over Hollywood

Have you noticed that the term “Life Coach”, an almost unknown phrase in previous years, is suddenly appearing everywhere?

Pop culture is a reflection of what is new and popular in our society. Coaching has become one of the fastest growing industries, and this is demonstrated by the strong presence of life coaches in the media and celebrity lifestyles.

Are these celebrities utilizing life coaches because they have become the newest Hollywood fad that will disappear before the next diet pill hits the market? No!

Life coaching has officially arrived, and it is here to stay… because it works!

For many decades, only the rich and successful could access support services. But now, these services are available to everyone, regardless of social status, income, or personal goals.

In recent years, many celebrities have sought out coaching services to help them reach their goals. They found value in these services and have helped to spread the word about what coaching can do for the masses.

Several stars like Jeff Conaway, Kat Von D, Ron Howard’s daughter Bryce, television producer Scott Zakarin, Mark Burnett, Vanessa Williams, Quincy Jones, Serena Williams, and Donna Karan (to name a few) are discovering how much coaching can benefit their lives.

Robert Mack, a celebrity life coach who has worked with many celebrities, compared his role as a coach to the role of a personal trainer. “Just like a personal trainer brings out the best in your body, a life coach brings out the best in your personal and professional life”.

Robert describes his work with celebrities based on the idea that you can build on your strengths, instead of placing the focus on trying to fix what is broken. He enjoys the positive attitude that coaches give to the support community.

The popularity of life coaches in Hollywood and pop culture has increased exponentially, and continues to grow. As more and more celebrities are reaping the inner and outer rewards of working with coaches, the media is taking notice and taking action.

In 2008, a comedy called The Life Coach was released, and already in 2010, another comedy entitled Life Coach has been announced. The production of two full-length films in 2 years about life coaches is yet another reflection on this fast-growing industry.

Back in 2001, the film Shallow Hal featured the famous life coach Tony Robbins.

Coaching is also making itself known in the reality television circuit. In 2009, NBC gave the green light to film the pilot and first 8 episodes for a series called Breakthrough with Tony Robbins, in which he would help people who have been through some kind of major life event such as bankruptcy get started again.

The series Celebrity Fit Club: Boot Camp on VH1 features a life coach who helps celebrities get their lives in shape while they work to get their bodies in shape as well. They have added the value of feeling strong and confident as an important component to living a healthy lifestyle.

Coaching has even found its way onto the Home and Garden network (HGTV) on its new show Home Rules. The show redecorates family homes while the family works with a life coach to make their personal lives better, giving them a fresh start in more ways than one.

So, are Life Coaches the new Hollywood Teacup Chihuahuas? Are they just the latest and hottest accessory for the rich socialites? Absolutely not! While coaching services are gaining more and more popularity in pop culture, it is not because the coaches themselves are cute, furry, and able to wear tiny outfits to match their owners.

It is because people are finding value in the coaching process.

At this point, you may be asking yourself, What does this all mean for me?

Most of us are not celebrities, do not have oodles of funds for coaching, and do not want to go onto a reality television show to get support. But there is good news for you. Coaching services are available for everyone, and at Coaching Cognition, you can get an introductory session at no charge at all. The coaching community is one of helpfulness, empathy, care, and support. A coach’s purpose is to help you reach your goals and your full potential.

Renegade Professionals can now access a coach and schedule free 15 minute consultations to find the perfect match for you! Log into your back office and click on the coach’s icon to take your business to the next level.

Having a coach can be a big help – none of us can do it alone. Being a coach is a great honor and just fun helping people.

There are so many thing that come up in life…and having a coach can make all the difference…

Life coaching or business life coaching…is about succeeding from the inside out…whether it’s to change a specific situation, an area in your life or a complete transformation…a complete shift in perspective…coaching can help facilitate a shift to a whole new paradigm… a new way of seeing…

The fact that it is quickly making its way in to the ‘main stream’ is a indication of just how badly it is needed…

Ultimately, Coaching as the solution to the increasing stresses in modern society is most certainly gaining in popularity…for a good reason…It works…

Thank you for your insight…

We all have great ideas and thoughts in our head…..sometimes we just get overwhelmed, off course, or lose sight of our goals. A Coach is able to look at things from an outside, unbiased view point, and help guide us to our own conclusions and solutions.

Even the best pro athlete in any sport has a Coach. Now the growth in the Coaching industry will make this same one-on-one Coaching available to the masses to be utilized in all areas of both business and personal life.

Isn’t it interesting how the right program comes at the right time. No coincidence!

The internet world has created the client, just in time for the coaching professionals. Get your self ready coaches, the best will dominate the market.

Great insight!

When you have a conversation with truly successful people, they always mention the major influences in their life. So often it is multiple people, all acting as a coach, that have helped shape and accelerate their success.

I’m a coach myself … and I value the coaches I have for a very simple reason – Coaching Works!

I’ve had the privilege of benefiting from a couple of sessions with the Coaching Cognition coaches.

I have to say, that even though I am a student of Coaching Cognition and working towards certification, it was a great help to have this objective input to issues I requested to have sorted out. You know, they facilitated the discovery of the answers from within myself.

Life coaches who serve their clients best, develop the tools from within the client to be empowered to solve whatever is brought to the “table”.

Coaching is a skill, yet the client is ultimately the “expert”.

Must be good reasons Robert Kyosaki is promoting his own coaching programs strong – he is usually right in seeing trends.

Comment by Curt Johnson — April 2, 2010 @ 12:00 am
Continuously benefiting from the support my own coaches have given me, I am gratified to see the public being educated on all life and business coaching has to offer.

Today’s world can be so stressful with the economic problems, and the lack of job security which then leads to pressures within the family — even health problems. A good coach can guide you to a place that’s even better than you imagined.

Robert Kiyosaki says times of crisis are opportunities for tremendous personal and wealth growth for those who have the right mindset. That’s where coaching fits in and why he uses it as part of his services.

It’s time to let our light shine!

I really like what you said, Pat, about the client being the expert. Coaching is much more valuable if it helps the client actually develop life skills and practice problem solving, not only tell them what to do.

Being told what to do is nice sometimes, but not in the long-term best interest of the person being coached.

It’s empowering to learn you had the answers within yourself the whole time–and that you probably have more answers the next time you need them!
