S01E12 - A Visceral Problem Needs a Visceral Solution [Part 12 of 13]
Our feelings override our best intentions. Our insights give us a false sense of awakening. Our coaching is a reflection of how masterfully we have embodied our own feelings, intentions and insights. Our head will not get us where we want to go. We must use our whole body, heart, spirit and mind. That’s why today we are focusing on line twelve of the Master Coach Manifesto: "A Master Coach supports the client in staying centered in their heart because they know a visceral problem can only be solved by a visceral solution." Highlights you don’t want to miss: 5:34 A problem isn't solved because they think better 7:43 Crying, silence, “what?!” are all powerful visceral cues 10:59 Question of the Day: "What should we look for in a coaching program to ensure the most confidence in our skills when it's over?" 11:42 Insights and ah-ha’s alone do not change lives 15:53 Coaching with peers is ineffective, here’s why 21:28 How did you give up resentment Rhonda? 24:33 Tip of the Day: "Are you willing to love yourself enough to have the courage to help yourself and your clients move into the visceral environment?" 25:04 Are you willing to experience all of your feelings to be a better Coach? *** P.S.

S01E11- The Power of Layered Questions [Part 11 of 13]
Learning the art of layered questions is essential to move from a good Coach to a Great Coach to a Master Coach. Without understanding the purpose open-ended questions versus close-ended questions or knowing how to stay in the flow that exists in the moment or anchoring and expanding your client’s ah-ha’s into their entire life, your influence, impact and confidence will be thwarted. That’s why today we are focusing on line eleven of the Master Coach Manifesto: "A Master Coach listens beyond words and asks layered upon layered questions to get to the heart of the matter, working within the flow of what's happening now." Highlights you don’t want to miss: 8:24 Question of the Day: What’s the difference between an open-ended and closed ended question? 10:15 Roleplay: Open-ended questions examples 13:00 Roleplay: Close-ended questions examples 17:10 When to take ownership as a Coach in your client sessions 24:35 Tip of the Day: Record your client-coach sessions *** P.S.

S01E10 - Yes, Ask That Nosy Question [Part 10 of 13]
When you’re truly here to help, support and coach your client, you must have the courage to listen to what's moving through you and ask the next question whether or not you know the reason you're asking. It’s not nosy. It’s coaching. This is critical to support your client to reach beyond the known.
That’s why line ten of the Master Coach Manifesto is:
"A Master Coach isn't afraid to ask how much money a client makes, when was the last time they had sex or any other relevant question. It is not nosy. It's coaching." Highlights you don’t want to miss:
4:20 When do you ask how much money a client is making 8:48 When you feel nosy, this is what’s really happening 9:54 Clients aren’t coming to you for the reason they think they are 13;14 Question of the Day: How do I embody the way I want to ask my client questions? How do I always come from a place of love and nonjudgmental? What if I catch myself sounding judgmental after I've already spoken?" 14:18 Saying “You can do it” is not coaching. Do this instead. 17:40 Here’s a mantra to use before each coaching session 21:21 The enemy of your intuition *** P.S.

S01E09 - The Importance of Seeing a Clients Innocence [Part 9 of 13]
There’s nothing more frustrating to me than hearing a coach talk about their ‘resistant client’ or ‘difficult client.’ There’s no such thing. Here’s the truth: Your client isn’t purposely sabotaging themselves, your client isn't purposely resisting, your client isn't purposely doing anything. They're not purposely wrecking their lives, they're not purposely not trusting themselves, they're not purposely making bad choices. When you know that in your heart and live it in your being, your coaching will change forever. Oh and so will your life. Seeing innocence is THAT important. That’s why today line nine of the Master Coach Manifesto is so critical: "A Master Coach speaks to their client's innocence, creating safety and deep healing, allowing their client to trust themselves again." Highlights you don’t want to miss: 4:44 You are not the solution to your client’s problem 9:37 Roleplay: Your client is not purposely sabotaging themselves, here’s what to say… 10:10 Do not coach to urgency here’s why 10:50 There’s no such thing as wasted time 14:52 You’re client wants you to buy into their view of themselves, do this instead 18:28 Coaching Tip of the Day: “Your ability to live in the unknown equals your ability to be free.” – Rhonda Britten 19:58 “Fear can be a great motivator, but it will never let you be satisfied." – Rhonda Britten 20:16 Question of the Day: "If a client goes off on a rant and starts to get defensive, what do you suggest doing? Acknowledging it, ignoring it? How do I not get in my client's stuff?" *** P.S.

S01E08 - Do You Really Believe Your Client is Doing Their Best?
When we say we want to do something but don’t do it, it’s not because they are difficult or resistant, it means they are afraid. Telling a client they can do it, is ineffective. Try coaching them instead. That’s why today we are focusing on line eight of the Master Coach Manifesto: “A Master Coach treats their client as if they are wholeheartedly doing their best, not theoretically but in reality.” Highlights you don’t want to miss: 3:45 Every time you get frustrated with your client, this is the result 6:56 Fake cheerleading causes you to lose credibility 8:30 Do you believe your client is doing the best they can? 15:00 There’s no such thing as a resistant client 16:40 “The more you embrace human reality the more divine your experience.” 22:52 Question of the Day: How can I tell when a client is having a shift? Often they glaze over it themselves if the Coach doesn't catch it. 28:33 “Slow is the new fast” *** P.S.

S01E07 - The Opportunity is Bigger than the Client’s Problem [Part 7 of 13]
Most people are desperately trying to solve their problems. Yet, solving a problem only gives temporary relief. The only path to permanent transformation is soul work. That’s why today we are focusing on line seven of the Master Coach Manifesto: "A Master Coach works on two tracks at all times. The problem the client brings, and the real opportunity at hand." Highlights you don’t want to miss: 4:17 The problem is the path to soul work 4:57 Live the Life Your Soul Intended ® 5:35 Resolving what’s underneath brings peace of mind 7:23 Their dream will eventually fail if we forget this 9:19 You can’t strategize your soul 12:20 What mattered doesn’t matter now 14:54 Coaching Tip of the Day: You are not the answer to your client’s problem. 19:16 What is a leading question? 24:35 The questions that give true choice *** P.S.
