Next week, I’ll be lucky enough to be trained in psychological espionage skills by operatives from intelligence agencies around the world. I’ll be honest — I’m a bit nervous. I’m not a spy... I’m a coach. But I know that if I can learn from professionals who use these techniques in the highest-stakes environments imaginable, I can find powerful ways to make them relevant for myself and my clients. My clients won’t need to gain a terrorist’s trust and infiltrate their cell… …but they might need to navigate a cliquey workplace where alliances and motives aren’t always clear. They won’t need to spot a lie that could unravel a national security emergency… …but recognising the truth beneath an “I’m fine” from their teenager might just change their relationship. They won’t need to profile a suspect on the run… …but understanding personality patterns and communication cues could help them connect, lead, and inspire on a deeper level, whether its recognising a boss' need for intellectual validation or a partner's need for humour during a challenging conversation. For me, this is what this unique training is about — not pretending to be an agent, but learning how the psychology of espionage can reveal new dimensions of empathy, influence, and authentic human connection. I can’t wait to share what I learn. 👉 What’s one “unlikely” field you think coaches could learn from?

I've taken a step back from this community over the past few months, but after reconnecting with some fellow coaches and having some beautiful experiences during sessions, I've been inspired to dive back in. I'd love to know how everyone is getting on, how you are developing as coaches, and are applying the fantastic material in Ed's course.

Hey coaches, I'm loving seeing people's posts taking responsibility for their lives, so here's another post that I'd love to see from people (if you're open to it): How have I inspired someone today? Drop your stories and moments of igniting inspiration in the comments!

Hi people!!! someone would like to help me graduate and be my client for the final assignment? I would really appreciate it!! thanks! i can also help you as well when needed. 🫠

Taking responsability for everything in my life is more than saying it, its about taking true action, knowing that as much support that we need, no one is going to come and hold your hand, or push you to take the action, amazing life coaches like @Beverly Lenius and @Parry Bates have taken the time to practice with me, and for that iam greatful! thank you so much! and there are so many posts of the amazing life coaches here that have resonated with me! and of course i can not leave our amazing mentor @Ed JC Smith out! now its my time! I have a beautiful message and a purpose that i must do! let's go!
