With 17 years in the life coaching industry, I can, hand on heart, say that the vast majority of life coaches I’ve had the privilege to connect with are wonderful, salt-of-the-earth types. Of course, as in any industry, you’ll find a small proportion of practitioners who are in it for misplaced or questionable reasons. In my previous post, I explained that the growth of quick-and-easy ‘certification courses’ – high on marketing hype but low on substance – is attracting people who lack the commitment to hard work that ensures the level of excellence rightly expected in this field.

The final step in completing the New Insights certification process to become a life coach involves a self-reflection exercise. One of the questions our aspirant coaches are asked to reflect on is how their perception of what life coaching is, and what life coaches do, has changed since starting out on the training programme. Most admit that life coaching is significantly different – and far more in-depth – than they had originally understood it to be. Click to go to the podcast.

As you contemplate the end days of the first month of yet another new year, what is it that occupies your mind (other than what it feels like getting back into your post-holiday routine)?

Time seems like it is feeding on steroids lately. I remember back to my youth when two weeks seemed like an age. Now it seems more like a heartbeat! I had to double-check the date of my last post as I could have sworn that only one week had passed since the last, not two! And then it struck me that, as we hurtle towards the end of another tumultuous year, this may very well be the last post for 2023. I’m guessing that in two weeks from now, only the most loyal of readers will have any interest in what I have to say! Click to go to the podcast.

In the New Insights Life Coach Training and Certification Programme, we devote an entire module to the topic of communication. Deservedly so, I might add. That’s because the way we communicate has a fundamental impact on our ability to live more meaningful and fulfilling lives. It’s worth letting that statement sink in for a while. Click to go to the podcast. Please return to this page to leave comments! Something we take for granted You see, communication is something we take for granted. It’s something we do all day, every day, in some form or another, so we tend to do it without cons ..read more

In the early stages of the New Insights Life Coach Training and Certification Programme we cover the key assumptions that we believe form part of the philosophy on which this transformational discipline is based. In the training, we list seventeen life coaching assumptions that we present for aspirant coaches to consider. To keep this post relatively succinct, I have chosen eight for discussion. Some are more obvious than others, whereas some may be seen as more controversial. Nevertheless, I hope they will provide readers with food for thought and, of course, some new insights!

A global Gallup poll conducted pre COVID revealed that, among the more than one billion full-time workers, only 15% felt they were properly engaged in their work. In an article titled ‘The World’s Broken Workplace’, Jim Clifton, the Chairman of Gallup, put this staggering statistic down to outdated management practices and managers who lack motivation and training in the practice of coaching their staff. As a baby boomer I can relate to Clifton’s assertion that to us a job was a job and seen as something separate from our home lives. We tended to view a good job as being the enabler for acq ..read more

One of the topics we cover in the New Insights Life Coach Training Programme is The Beauty of Balance. I found myself revisiting that subject today after reflecting on the fact that my own personal life has been feeling unusually up and down of late. I’m fortunate that I am normally a deep sleeper. But the last few nights have been different. Lying awake in the early hours I lay awake in the early hours of this morning wondering if my own experience was just a tiny reflection of a world that, in many respects, is showing disconcerting signs of growing instability. The COVID pandemic cause ..read more
