Dec 28, 2009Remember your sport's coach? - ARTICLEHave you been competing in your young age? I don’t know about you, but I have a clear memory of one of my soccer coaches at that time…
We would get ready in the club’s changing rooms, putting on our freshly washed red T shirts.
Before going on the field, our coach would drill us! He would first explain today’s tactics, moving little magnets on a black board designed like a mini soccer field. He would then build up the team’s spirit and confidence by a powerful motivation speech… That’s the emotional fuel, the very essence of a great performance.
Once the game would start, his voice would shake the game and bring out the best of each player’s potential. See last soccer’s world cup for some colorful examples…
Today’s life coaching functions with the same basic ingredients: designing life tactics and visions, building up the emotional fuel, encouraging the action, and celebrating victories!
The fiery motivational style has been replaced by more diplomatic and respectful approaches. But that’s not the main difference: In today’s life coaching, the coach partners with the client. It’s this alliance which creates magic, bringing out the best and most powerful results.
I am excited and looking forward to create one day such sacred alliance with you. I would be truly honored to be a catalyst in your life’s present and future success.
Enjoy! What is your future? - ARTICLEThis website is not only about coaching. Coaching is the external vehicle. The spirit behind Vital coaching is much vaster. It is not an abstract philosophy; it is a life approach. Saying it is spiritual would already be limiting. Spiritual tends to be associated with religious or love or wisdom. Life is more than these qualities and the spirit we embody is in everything! The spirit is present in every aspect of life, not just in so called spiritual practices. What is meant by that is simple: there is more than what we see with our physical eyes. Vital coaching functions within that reality. What is offered in the coaching space is a vision, the potential of what we can be as human beings. It is not a distant idealized plan. It is realistic and targeted to our personal needs. I believe that it is when our lives are totally fulfilled as individuals that humankind reaches its greatest potential. Respecting organizations, humankind, countries, governments as well as individual lives is a priority nowadays. Life coaching is first about you and your individual needs, desires, vision. It is a service to you for your future and your well being. The roots of coaching are solid and based on clear ethical boundaries. The goal is to empower you as an individual and support you in gaining any skills you might need to function harmoniously in today’s world. Life is a magic gift and it flows in our bodies. External structures are a reflection of our inner beliefs and are here to serve humankind. The human being comes first! Always! We know about our archaic roots. We know about our past. But we need to give ourselves the possibility to grow beyond our past limits. The human spirit has the potential to expand, explore new behavior territories. To do that, we often need to redesign our life environment. I believe this is today’s challenge. This is the context in which coaching can play a significant role. I wish the value of my coaching is clearer to you now. I am looking forward to meet you or speak with you soon… Enjoy! Tell me about your ambitions - ARTICLEHow does it work? You have a source of infinite energy in you! A source that moves you forward! This source is your emotions, your desires, your ambitions. Coaching stimulates your ambitions, and offers support on how to... --------------------------------- Turn desires into reality! Very simple, so simple! How do you turn a desire into reality? By acting! Action! You take action! --------------------------------- Acting with vision means having a strategy... Your coach is here to help you with both: Vision and Strategy!
Let me put it this way: What you do with a coach is: tell him about your desires, ambitions. From desires, you create Vision. From Life Vision, you design a Strategy, a course of action.
The last stage is implementing that strategy. You go ahead and act according to your plan to create the Reality you want.
The coach is always a sounding board... How does that sound? He mirrors and reflects. He stimulates you in moving from Vision to reality! Is it okay if I challenge you? - ARTICLEChallenge is part of the coaching game. It is essential for me to challenge you because the goal is to build extra power. When you are in a therapy context you tend to focus more on nurturing energies. You focus on sharing and understanding. What you need then is healing the wounds, finding answers, etc. We can sometimes use this "soft" style within the coaching context when you touch on very sensitive areas of your life. If I feel you go that way and for instance share a negative past experience, I will of course be sensitive and always respectful and modulate my style to fit the needs of the moment. However, as most client's situations have to do with gaining more power and simply performing better, challenge is a communication style I will easily use because it is an essential way of connecting with your inner resources. Competition is challenge. What gives you the ability to compete is the ability to stand the challenge and go for it. This is why the coaching space is based on a high energy exchange. I don't want you to get too comfortable because if you do, you might miss your target altogether. A coaching session always tends to challenge your comfort zone. This is the way to go deeper and connect with your extra sources of power. Once you link with your inner power within the safety of a coaching session, you wake up these resources for life. You discover how to access new energies inside yourself. This is thrilling and happens spontaneously while you tell me about you goals. A coaching session does not involve buggy jumping (yet!) but you will certainly feel the thrill and excitement of something new. To tell you the truth, you don't need me to reinforce your comfort zone. In most cases, your ability to take risks and go for challenges is simply underused. On the other hand, your tendency to stay within the limits of what you already know might already be strong. What you want with coaching is reinforce new mind sets and ideas. You are always given a virtual "red safety button" which is just there, accessible under your desk. Simply press it and it sends me a warning red signal. It's symbolical but this is the way we work. I always ask you for feed back at the end or during the session to see if you get everything you need from our exchange. It stays always about your needs and agenda. My task though is to hear even what you are not saying, and make sure that your session hits all its targets. Why coaching works - ARTICLEWhy coaching works

Invest in yourself! - ARTICLEHow do I know coaching works for me? That's the single most natural question to ask before starting. Thanks for asking it. This allows us to move forward much faster. Your doubts are a natural, valuable protection. They are like intuitive drops that you can't clearly define. Sometimes doubts can as well hold you back. They stop your from taking steps. They are invisible barriers that stop you from acting. Doubts mean : "I don't know" Having doubts is being unsure. I suggest you shift from having doubts to knowing. I believe that the fastest and most direct direct way of learning is by experiencing, trying! Do you agree? You can experience coaching with me any time absolutely for free! In fact you can experience coaching with 20 different coaches for free. Most professionals in that field offer you free trial sessions. What I am saying here is not about me coaching you! It is about you moving forward in your life. It is your agenda, your future, your vision. Try coaching and get a clear answer to your question. How long to find out? 30 min of your time. That's all! Sometimes you look back in your past and think: "I wish I had known that ten years ago..." Don't make that mistake. Coaching has powerful tools and solutions for your life!!! Experience coaching today and decide for yourself. Easy! Take the lead!
Ask yourself - ARTICLETake a white page and write down one of these questions. Follow your inspiration... What comes to your mind? ------------------------- Right now, what do you want? ------------------------- What is the number one thing you would like to change in your life? ------------------------- If you could have more of one quality in your life, what would that be? ------------------------- What is your life long dream? ------------------------- What are 2-5 short term goals you would like to accomplish in the next 3 months? ------------------------- If you woke up tomorrow and life was perfect, what would it be like? ------------------------- Want more enjoyment from life? What are the 3 key areas or skills you would like to focus on? ------------------------- Dec 22, 2009The difference between power and abuse of power - ARTICLEWhen searching for the definition of power, I was surprised to come across wikipeda's page. Why? because there is a great difference between the essence of power and what you do with it. Using power to control others is only one interpretation of power and it is an abuse of power. When taken one step further, this can lead to coercion which is domination by creating fear. Power and abuse of power are two very different things! You can have power without abusing it. Throughout history, power has been associated with political leaders, armies and oppression. This is why, nobody says "I love power". They would be labeled as some form of political freak trying to own a land and its people. Huge misunderstanding here. Power has many forms and political abuse of power is only one of them. The idea that power corrupts is simply wrong! It is not true! Power does not corrupt. You can grow in power and wisdom at the same time. You can develop an inner sense of ethics and profound respect for life and never even be tempted to abuse your power. Personal power is associated with personal growth. You can use your power to create, preserve, control what is yours without ever going into any form of abuse or oppression. Power is an energy you can master. You can develop the skills to use it effectively. It is an energy source and the way you channel it in your existence will be directed by your skills and goals. Power is like fire. You can use to create, renew, destroy what you no longer need. The moment you befriend with that energy you multiply your chances of life satisfaction. The idea is not to start a polemic about this topic; it is to offer alternatives to common beliefs about power. This is a coaching website which is focused on human empowerment. I give naturally much more weight and importance to the idea of personal power. That's the main area I focus on within these pages. Many people will reject the idea of power simply because they are afraid of it or don't know how to use it. Power is like fire. It is an incredible source of energy which can be used to reach your goals. Gaining power goes together with gaining the skills to use it effectively.
