The Coaching r(E)volution

When you create what I call a “Life Changing Course”—the type of course that is so dynamic, so transformational, and that goes very deep—not only do you help change the lives of those you serve….but your life changes as well.   Creating and leading Life Changing Courses allows you to stand out and co-create incredible results that lead to more clients completing  - and raving! - about your programs.   We all know that there is no shortage of courses to buy in the transformational industries, and a lot of these courses are ok, maybe good…but not life changing.   They don’t co-create excellent results with participants. They don’t create experiences that participants will remember for years to come. They don’t keep participants engaged.   In today’s episode, we start to get to the heart of what makes a group course, program, workshop or retreat a Life Changing experience:   –why you don’t want to be a “presenter” –a massive key to creating community in your programming –1 tweak to your course topic or title that will get you way more interest –the biggest mistake that’s made in curriculum, and what to do instead   This entire episode is one you’ll want to take notes on! And if you’d like to go deeper with me into the wonderful world of course creation and facilitation, here are some upcoming opportunities:   LIFE CHANGING COURSES EARLY EARLY BIRD SALE [https://pages.applieddepthinstitute.com/life-changing-courses-enroll?utm_source=podcastplayer&utm_medium=podcastshownotes&utm_campaign=lcc25]  CREATE A COURSE AS POWERFUL AS YOU FREE WORKSHOP [https://pages.applieddepthinstitute.com/transformative-power-of-curriculum?utm_source=podcastplayer&utm_medium=podcastshownotes&utm_campaign=lcc25&utm_content=tcp25] CREATE TRANSFORMATIONAL COURSES FREE EBOOK [https://pages.applieddepthinstitute.com/build-and-lead-life-changing-courses?utm_source=podcastplayer&utm_medium=podcastshownotes&utm_campaign=lcc25&utm_content=lcclmoptin]   Please share this podcast with your friends!

As part of our month-long focus on the Ethics of Leadership, we take a look today at the challenges and importance of admitting our mistakes as leaders.    In order to be not only ethical and trauma-informed in our client work, but also highly effective and transformational coaches and practitioners, it is essential to be able to own up to our mistakes.   We need this on all levels of leadership!   In the episode, we cover:   ⇒ what happens in our communities and with our clients when we don’t own our mistakes   ⇒ a story about a crucial moment where I made a huge mistake…and what I did…and what happened next (the most important part!)   ⇒ what lies underneath the difficulties of owning mistakes and how to move forward   This episode is short but a really important toe-dip into one of the most important topics of coaching and leadership.   PLEASE SHARE THIS PODCAST WITH YOUR FRIENDS!

We’re devoting a whole month to The Ethics of Leadership here at Applied Depth Institute because it is one of the most important pieces for anyone who is a coach, transformational practitioner, or leader of any sort….and the truth is that Ethics and Integrity just aren’t talked about enough in the coaching & transformational industries.    Ethics and Integrity is one of the bedrocks of being a stellar practitioner. You cannot be an exceptional practitioner if your client practices aren’t based in ethics & integrity. And the same is true for building a sustainable business.   In today’s episode, we cover:   ⇒ the importance of the Ethics of Leadership ⇒ why people of integrity still need to learn ethical practices ⇒ I share a personal story that gets to the heart of what can go wrong when ethics are absent ⇒ 3 vital coaching principles that support you to be more ethical in your client (& sales) work   I hope you enjoy!   If you’d like to accelerate your ability to really meet all of your client’s needs and to be the kind of coach or practitioner that people talk about in good times and in tough times as the ONE who really helped them transform and reach their goals, join us for Sacred Depths!

As a people and culture, we are holding a lot right now.   Multiple ongoing wars around the world. Hurricanes, tornadoes and weather disasters that are devastating. Stressful news cycles and at least here in the U.S., a political culture that can sometimes feel stressful. And that is just scratching the surface of how much each of us and each of our clients are holding at this moment. Ongoing crisis for such a sustained amount of time – whether it touches us directly or not, and no matter how evolved we are, and what our “attitude” or mindset is – is going to take its toll.    As coaches & practitioners, it’s also so important to hold our clients with special care through difficult times, no matter what kind of work you do.   In today’s episode I share with you some powerful Sacred Depths principles to help you better support yourself and your clients.   You’ll learn: ⇒ 5 different but vital coaching concepts for helping clients in difficult times ⇒ the first, most important thing to do for your clients during difficult times ⇒ why you need to get really comfortable with being uncomfortable ⇒ what “Honoring What Is” is, and why it’s a vital coaching skill   If you’d like to accelerate your ability to really meet all of your client’s needs and to be the kind of coach or practitioner that people talk about in good times and in tough times as the ONE who really helped them transform and reach their goals, join us for Sacred Depths!

Success in our goals, our careers, our lives is of course, valuable and important. But…what happens when we start to overly identify with success or symbols of status? How does this end up blocking up from our goals and holding us back from transformation?   We explore all of this and more in today’s episode where we unpack a piece of the Myth of Inanna’s Descent - one of my favorite all time myths!   It’s a deep and layered exploration - part storytelling, part introspection, part looking at how we help our clients….even mixed in with a public service announcement or two from me! (I get pretty passionate about some things!).   In this episode you’ll learn about:   ⇒ the power of mythology and how it can help you in your life => Inanna’s Descent (one of the oldest stories out there!) ⇒ what happens when we cling to worldly success and symbols of power & respect ⇒ why it’s important to make the metaphoric journey to the Underworld ⇒ 3 of the 4 Sacred Depths pillars, and which skills you need to help clients unpack messaging that has seeped in through culture   I revisit the myth of Inanna’s Descent every single year for myself - that’s how important it is. I hope you’ll find it as meaningful and rich as I do!   _________________   If you’ve been wanting to take your coaching & transformational skills to the next level - and to grow your business in organic ways through referrals, renewals and creating a stellar reputation for yourself - please join us for The Sacred Depths Transformational Practitioner Certification [https://pages.applieddepthinstitute.com/sacred-depths?utm_source=podcastblogpostepisode24&utm_medium=podcastblogpostepisode24&utm_campaign=sd24].   The cohort & community that is coming together for our start at the end of October is phenomenal, and it is my best and favorite way to help you create the client work and business that you deserve to have.   You can learn more here [https://pages.applieddepthinstitute.com/sacred-depths?utm_source=podcastblogpostepisode24&utm_medium=podcastblogpostepisode24&utm_campaign=sd24].   And you can access the free How to Work with Shadow ebook here!
