Are you working towards Expert Coach certification and submitting for the 17 December deadline? Maybe we could help each other with a practice session. 😀 If you have worked through the modules (Level 4+) and want to split up some time to work on a particular method, topic, or technique, send me a DM with 3 times when you could meet for an hour or 90 minutes. I'm on EST, and am available after 4 pm EST and on weekends until I have my EC session work completed. ⏰ *** Please don't post here if you want to schedule practice coaching time. *** I'm in heads down mode and will only be checking my DMs for the next week or so and I wouldn't want to miss your message. If I don't reply for a week, it might look like I'm being rude to you and that is not my intent. Thank you. If you're reading this and on a different schedule, I will take this opportunity wish you well! Big hugs and warm smiles from Philadelphia. That you've read this far gives me certainty in saying: You're amazing! It's a busy time of year with lots of competing demands on our time and attention, at work and with family and friends. _______ Certification Resources +++++++++++++++++++ + Read (or re-read) this detailed pinned post by @Ed J C Smith Get Your Certification - Plus 3 Live Interventions FREE https://www.skool.com/lifecoachcertificationfree/get-your-certification-plus-3-live-interventions-free + Read this excellent, tactical post about the process from the amazing @Elena Zanfei Exact steps for Certification Process https://www.skool.com/lifecoachcertificationfree/exact-steps-for-certification-process?p=2102101f + Read this post by the one and only @Raj Dash about the timing for certification

Feel free to add your own everybody! I attended a third interview. I woke up I got up I dressed up! I rehearsed my interview. I did the interview. I didn't love it. But it didn't kill me! I was warm approachable confident. I didn't over promise (which is both a good and a bad thing) about all of the additional things I can do ontop of my normal role in the office. I went for 2 walks today. I checked in with my coach. I met a friend for connection. It was good! I saw a film for inspiration. I am organising my writers group. I texted about that. The BAD I didn't give the people in the interview what I think they wanted to hear - because I was concerned with what they wanted to hear. That's generally bad for interviews. I need to work. I need to be more grown up about the ''real world'' and stop being so authenticity driven all of the time. ''LEILA, SORT IT OUT''. It's ok not to be authentic all of the time you donut you! On the screen again and it's late Slept about 4 hours last night and the night before. QUALITIES I'm calling forth Fun Laughter Focus productivity The most amazing session ever with my client that will be for the highest purpose of both her and for me Confidence Optimism and hope Awe and wonder Communication and boundaries Dance with your friend Leila

CLICK THE CLASSROOM ICON AT THE TOP TO ACCESS THE MODULES AS YOU EARN POINTS YOU WILL UNLOCK MORE OF THE PROGRAM> . . . WELCOME TO THE EXPERT COACH COMMUNITY My name is Ed and I hope this is going to transform your life like nothing else you have experienced before. . . The Expert Coach Certification is sold for £5,000. This is not some fake marketing technique to get you to trust me. The truth is the online space today is not that empowering. There are few communities available for coaches and consultants That provides real value and most are just spam communities. . . Day in and day out my ads get bombarded with negative comments about coaching I get tired of people commenting negative things. how all coaches just want to make money etc Coaching is a scam etc Making money is not why I decided to become a coach. There is nothing wrong with making money from coaching However, if it is the most important factor to you as a coach You are most likely going to fail. . . Money is a by-product of being an amazing coach. Money is a by-product of being able to create amazing transformations with clients The truth is most coaches/consultants are just not that good at the skill of coaching

Many have contacted me asking how to complete this process, so I thought I would lay it out here, step-by-step, in hopes it might help everyone. Ed has created a video outlining the steps, which I will summarize below https://www.skool.com/lifecoachcertificationfree/classroom/8ba4b069?md=023fc73b2bb14a25ba0bb47e14264f32. Here are THE STEPS: Send an email to 'Ed@championacademy.co.uk" containing the following: (since it is highly unlikely that you will be able to send your video via email due to size restrictions, I suggest creating a Google folder, adding these items there, and then sending the link to that folder). 1. A recording of ONE of your coaching sessions: (NOTE: This can be a video or audio - they are evaluating your coaching skills, which come through your language. There is no requirement on length - whether it's 30 minutes or 90 minutes does not matter). UPDATE: If your primary language is something OTHER than English, contact Ed's team at the email above to inquire if you can submit your coaching session in your native language. 2. A completed copy of the Coaching Assessment document (See attached) of your assessment of that coaching session. (NOTE: This is a SELF-ASSESSMENT where you assess the coaching session you are submitting. This requires NO ONE other than yourself. You submit this form, COMPLETED, with your coaching call.) 3. A completed Coaching Academy feedback form (See attached). 4. An acknowledgment that you have completed all the modules (They can check this behind the scenes so they already know if you did or did not complete them) 5. NOTHING ELSE NEEDS TO BE SUBMITTED. Your completion of your "tasking" is accepted on an honor system - they trust you are doing it, and you do not need to submit it. - NOTE: Most videos are too long to send via email - for that reason, I created a Google folder containing all the above and sent them the link to that folder (with access rights) in the email. - The coaching Assessment document is an Excel spreadsheet where you rate how well YOU covered each of the steps outlined in the spreadsheet. This is your best guess at how well you did and what you can improve upon. I don't believe they are looking for perfection, as we are always improving our skills. - UPDATE: many have asked if you need to demonstrate ALL the distinctions covered in the Expert Coach training. I think that would be a challenge to do - based on the self-assessment form, these are the skills you DO need to be able to demonstrate: 1)Creates introduction that is focused and engages the client. 2) Poise and confidence. 3) Pacing of speech. 4) Conveys ideas with originality and clarity 5) Addresses short-term goals 6) Addresses long-term goals 7) Responds to questions
