Remember your sport's coach? - ARTICLE

2009-12-28T02:24:00.001-08:00

Have 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The fiery motivational style has been replaced by more diplomatic and respectful approaches.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? - ARTICLE

2009-12-28T02:23:00.003-08:00

This 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 - ARTICLE

2009-12-28T02:23:00.001-08:00

How 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? - ARTICLE

2009-12-28T02:22:00.001-08:00

Challenge 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.

The difference between power and abuse of power - ARTICLE

2009-12-22T00:17:00.000-08:00

When 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.

Energy disturbances and how to make your life superconductive - ARTICLE

2009-08-14T01:13:00.000-07:00

When you are unhappy or worried you can always trace this emotion back to an energy blockage in one way or another.

Sometimes, this energy blockage is in the form of an undigested emotion.

Most of the times, though it will simply be something that is physically unsolved.

It can be a physical tension or pain.

It can be a tension between you and someone else.

It can be pressure coming from society.

It can be pressure from a boss or customer.

The thing is that ALL these pressures always have a solution.

It is actually pretty rare to identify an energy blockage that has no solution.

The way to unlock any energy block in your system is to empower the flow which will free you from that tension.

In most cases, this means taking action.

For instance, if it is physical pain you feel, doing some yoga for a couple of weeks will ease the pain and bring back the flow.

If you face a communication challenge with a friend, sitting down and having a chat might solve this tension.

If it is pressure from a customer, you can do something about it by listening to their needs and finding a diplomatic solution, right?

In all these cases, it is usually possible to identify a very specific action that will unblock the tension and bring back life flow.

----------------

So, this is the first thing to REALLY get:

Positive action can frequently unblock an energy disturbance.

It is a matter of:

Identifying EXACTLY the disturbance that bothers you = Understand
Chosing the best action to tackle it = Strategizing
Implementing = Taking action

This is it!

I know that this is vague, right?

We are not yet talking about VERY specific situations you are facing.

Well, here is what to do next...

I am pretty sure that if you sit down for 5 minutes, you can identify the top 5 things that bother you at least a bit right now.

I know too that in most cases there is a VERY specific action you take to unblock this disturbance in your life.

I know as well that within a given period of time, you can usually remove or greatly reduce this specific disturbance by taking action.

It might take you a day, a month or even a year.

The thing is that there is most probably a solution for what disturbs you right now.

-------------------

So... The next question is:

If there is a solution, what exactly stops you?

It is simple:

Lack of time
Lack of focus
Lack of energy

Understanding a blockage, strategizing and taking action requires some time and energy.

Yes, investing money to find a solution for instance by hiring a consultant to help you solve a business challenge could be the step to take.

Money is a form of energy.

When you say "I don't have time" or "I don't have the energy", what you are in fact saying is "I have other priorities", "My time and energy are already invested somewhere else".

Yes, you do have time, energy and focus but you are simply investing these somewhere else.

It can be because of pressure of course.

For instance, if you have a 2 year old, they need your attention, right?

It is often challenging to take time for yourself when you are pressured to give your energy somewhere else.

The key is that:

THERE IS TIME!

THERE IS ENERGY!

They are simply invested in other aspects of your life.

So, that's the real reason why you might not tackle a specific disturbance:

It is simply because that disturbance is not high enough in your priority list.

Suppose that you feel some slight pain in your anckle. You can live with it. you did not reach the "breaking point" that forces you to take action.

Another element that can discourage you from even trying is the fact that you might not see a solution or that you think that the solution will be too hard to implement.

In other terms, this is lack of trust in either yourself or the freeing process.

----------------

The real reason I am shraing this with you is because I see people missing opportunities to better their lives all the time.

This happens precisely because their top priorities don't include removing disturbances.

The thing is that these disturbances are like brakes which are "On" all the time.

In other terms, they drain your energy!!!

Worrying doesn't help much!

On the contrary! It is a waste of time.

What really does help is taking a few minutes to analyze what's happening, designing a strategy and implementing it.

Now, we are talking!

Here is what I encourage you to do:

Take at least half a day/week for yourself!

Invest 10% of what you earn back directly in yourself.

That's your body and mind.

I am not talking about a piece of furniture or one more set of plates for the house!

I am talking about you!

Invest in your body and mind at least 10% of what you earn!

YOU are doing all the work!

YOU should get the rewards!

And... I know you heard this before, but, YES!!!! YOU are worth it!

----------------

So, here is what I encourage you to do next time you feel a disturbance:

Rather than delaying action and being ok with this disturbance (draining source of tension), take action and do something about it now!!!

Before you take action, sit down for a sec and identify the best action line.

Simply jumping in the battle in incoherent ways might not give you the results you want.

You need to make sure that the action you plan to take will bring you at least one step closer to your goal.

What's this goal?

Emotional freedom
Superconductivity
Problem free zone
Life mastery
...

Not bad, right?

These targets are within your range and to reach them, you need to start acting now!

Don't delay!

Take action!

You will be amazed of what happens when you do!

To your power!
