I've been coaching as a profession for coming up 25 years now.
I was nervous and shy and insecure behind the scenes through most of that. Still am, at times! Just know more now about how to be me anyway.
This is my 24th year, coming up 25st. Before that I did it informally and not officially as a profession, but linked to different business and endeavours, all the way from 8 years old up, with clubs I used to run and charge for, you in my teens running and mentoring MLM teams, up til 18 years old when I started to manage people, quite a lot of them, mostly reasonably older than me, which was also a form of coaching and certainly motivation and psychology!! And then from about 21 I started to coach as a profession, and from the age of 22 I started to coach other coaches, both on the sales and marketing side of being a coach and also on how to effectively coach clients for results.
By 23 / 24 I was creating accredited courses, trainings, seminars for coaches and regularly being paid by large organisations to do so. As I went on through my twenties I continued to consistently full-time (if you call 60-80 hours a week full-time; I had my fingers in so many pies!) coach people individually across a variety of industries (fitness and business predominantly), do so in groups as well, run seminars and courses, training events, be hired as a speaker, travel round the country for that, and created endless courses and manuals and so on relevant to effective business coaching and effective result creation with clients.
I wouldn't be able to track down all the different coaching methodologies, seminars, workshops, accreditations, manuals and so on I put together, delivered, fine-tuned, and so on, throughout that time if I tried, nor ever really know how far my work spread. Much of it was delivered to INSANELY huge #'s of people, and had a carry-on effect beyond what I will ever know.
In some cases my materials were used without my hands-on presence, in numerous cases I taught and trained groups of people small and large, and in literally HUNDREDS of cases I individually worked with the coach to help them to understand people, communication, motivation, what compels people to action, effective result based coaching (both the surface based result and also the 'real' / internal shifts that would actually change the person over time), so basically every aspect of the coaching / client work itself, also all of the financial / admin / business side of it, AND of course the gettin' of the clients and marketing / branding / sales side of it!
This was ALL offline, before I came online, which was in 2006. In my various online business and personas I have gone on to indirectly coach / mentor hundreds of thousands of people, probably impact millions, more personally coach tens of thousands through my groups, and personally / privately mentor hundreds and hundreds and hundreds, many long-term. I've coached 'em on coaching people and how to lead clients to best outcomes and results, on how to create and design and bring to life what's inside of them in such a way that it becomes something people buy and shift from, on EVERY thing around the biz expansion side of things, and of course on the inner game and mindset and whatnot (whatnot is the best bit!) of being who you were born to be.
I've also personally created and launched well in excess of 400 products and programs and so on now, that's not including what I did offline before 2006! Many flopped of all these!!
But quite a few worked 😉
Oh, and I've extensively studied, over years, at a University level, (mostly offline, before I ever knew online was a thing) kinesiology, psychology, communication, linguistics, writing, and also several other 'relevant to coaching peoples and understanding humans' things. Not to mention the well over half a million $ invested in personal development, business mentoring, various aspects of science and physics, and also, on a not so side note, mentoring within the online business world. Not including travel costs haha.
I've been mentored by the greats in the online world and the offline world, and in many things that have nothing to do with online business and yet, of course, everything. I've also personally mentored many of the greats, both 'known' in the online coaching world, and also super under radar peeps doing HUGE things in business and coaching in ways that don't even involve social media at all. (gasp!)
Suffice to say ... I know a dot point or three about coaching, about people, about coaching other people to coach people and get KILLER results, the actual kind we care about as humans on a deep level, as WELL as the surface based / material or so-called 'tangible' stuff, about what makes a client create what they set out to versus no, and about evvvvvveerrrrrryyyy aspect of being a successful coach on the biz / money side as well, not just the helping peeps change their life side.
When I say 'I help people remember who they are ... and then become it', I am simplifying into the one statement that feels EVERYTHING to ME, the culmination of, well, (duh), my life. The above little overview being just a brief and partial insight into the coaching side of my life.
But actually none of that has anything with how I became the person... not really. Which I’ll explain in a moment.
Most of how I roll on the internet, which is ONE place I do business and life and me, doesn't really speak in depth or even at all in my public / free content about any of the above stuff. I’m at such a relaxed place of how I show up I just let whatever flow out (this is also why my writing is so magnetic to my true people and why I sell so well!)
But that sure as heck doesn’t mean all my above years of staying the course are NOT a contributing factor to how I have the balls to KNOW that I can coach ANYONE using my soul work and help them to shift even deeper into who they are.
I back myself because I BACKED myself. My whole life, pretty much. And ever deeper and with greater certainty and 'acting FROM' over time.
Imagine you just chose that!!
And then quit imagining, because that is EXACTLY what joining me in The Rebel Millionaire Coaching Certification is all about.
