3 Best Practices for Working with a Coach 

#1. Find the RIGHT Coach.

This is an easy task to throw out there and probably one of the toughest decisions we can make at any given time. The notion that the right teacher will show up at the right time in our lives is only partly true. We have to actively participate in our search with a clear picture of what we want in order to attract the right people, no matter what role they are to play in our lives - and also to be open to them when they appear.

#2. Set your Goals about the Coaching Process.

Once you're working with the right coach, be sure to be as transparent with them about what you WANT from the process as possible. Here are the ABCs to remember:

*Absolutely define your most important work and inspirations that you've created so far, so your coach can know who you are, and what your value system is

*Benchmarks and clear objectives should be defined as early as possible so you both have a clear path toward your goals, and finally

*Create a set of priorities that will clarify and focus your efforts and maximize your coaching time together.

#3. What would it take to become fearless?

Nobody goes into coaching because they want to stand still. Once you've set your goals, ultimately you'll want to define -- and then BECOME fearless about reaching them. Click here to read more...

An Intimate "Fireside Chat" with Million-Dollar Coach and Author, Alan Cohen

An excerpt of Kelli's Q&A with Million-Dollar Coach and Author, Alan Cohen. Alan Cohen is a respected keynoter and seminar leader for professional meetings in the fields of personal growth, inspiration, holistic health, human relations, and achievement of work/life balance. He is also the author of 24 popular inspirational books and CD's, including the best-selling The Dragon Doesn't Live Here Anymore, the award-winning A Deep Breath of Life. His work has been featured on Oprah.com and in USA Today and The Washington Post. Alan's radio program Get Real is broadcast weekly on Hay House Radio, and his monthly column From the Heart is featured in magazines internationally. (To hear this entire interview, please visit the Resources Page on my Website.)

Kelli: Talk to us, if you will, about All About U., which has been described as a university without walls, dedicated to higher learning for the higher self.

Alan Cohen: It's a course that I've developed for people who would like to grow from the inside out. It's an online course with personal coaching and teleseminars that invites people to look within to tell the truth about where their passion is and where their vision is and what would make their life worth living and what would make you want to get up every morning and want to go to work.

Kelli: Alan, Let's talk about that work and how you support other coaches to clarify their purpose, their goals, and their direction and niche.

Alan Cohen: I love coaching because it's a really fast way to make progress. When I work with coaches, I find that each one has a unique passion, talent, interest and vision. Half of the game of becoming a coach is telling the truth and getting in touch with where your unique path lives... for you, you're an expert and master in connecting people and in the media - nobody else does that like you.
