Hey tribe, missed u all yesterday on ECA, in half term madness with lots of kids around and camping/festival fun so coaching taken a back seat for a min. Back on practising/studying Friday 🥰 I went to see my naturopath on Thurs….he asked me to have some bloods done and I sent him the results. He was rather excited as my levels on some of my essential vits/minerals are really down. Yet the Dr’s only said a I am little low in Vit D. They did suggest a supplement. It turns out I have 5 x less vit D than is optimal, he’s rarely see it so low…it could actually be a genetic thing, not able to absorb it or my gut health needs help to absorb it again. My magnesium and B12 are also super low, one of them he hasn’t actually seen so low (can’t remember which lol). So this means, the diagnosis from the Dr of fibromyalgia, a chronic, incurable central nervous system disorder may actually not be what’s actually going on….it may be as simple as getting my levels up to where they should be and I could be feeling like a whole different person. I have multiple daily symptoms that I knew I could get rid of! I was not taking that diagnosis of a life long condition! My point of sharing is ‘how many others are like me’ and have been told by medical professionals that their bloods are fine when in fact they are not. If I hadn’t decided to pay to get a 2nd opinion where would my life lead?!?! My naturopath said if the medical industry did things they way they did, it would keep thousands (where we are alone) of people out of the drs and hospitals and get them healing much quicker. Of course they think that it is better financially because then all the pharmaceutical companies they invest in will be super busy. But actually, if we had a nation (world) of healthy people, they would work more and help boost the economy with their spending. I urge you, if you or your loved ones are struggling with symptoms you/they can’t get rid of, maybe you/they have potentially been given unsafe information and are therefore living with symptoms you/they don’t need to…..

This is the thread for anyone in this part of the course. Each day you complete mark below: Day 1 done, Day 2 done etc to keep on track.

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

Hey all! I'm new here. I have no idea if I'm in the right place but fingers crossed I can take my coaching business to the next level with this program. Anyone else new today?
