Christian: Welcome to the Rapid Coaching Academy. This is the 13th session and final session and hopefully being session 13 it’s good luck. How’s everyone doing tonight?
Participant: Excellent.
Participant: Great.
Participant: Wonderful.
Christian: Good.
Participant: Really good.
Participant: Very well.
Christian: Alright. Everybody is doing good and it doesn’t sound like a pumped up, rah, rah, good. It sounds like a very centered good which is the best time. But let’s get everybody pumped up a little bit anyway, what the heck? We are going to have just a kick-butt call tonight I can feel it. So I would like everybody to really play full out tonight. First thing I’d like to have everyone do is just stand up. Take a deep breath. Put your arms up in the air with fists like you, and look up at the ceiling like you’re standing on top of a mountain that you just climbed. That’s right. If you feel better than before say, “Yes.”
Participant: Yes.
Christian: Okay. Whoo. I am really excited because I have lots of fun stuff in store for us tonight and I can’t wait to dive in. Yeah so, people were saying who was here and making some comments but I wanted to get everything recorded because sometimes the best stuff comes out before we ever even start the recording. So if you haven’t spoken up yet, please go ahead and say your name and where you’re calling in from.
Participant: This is Janelle in Nebraska.
Christian: Welcome. That was Janelle?
Participant: Yes.
Christian: Yeah. Have you always been from Nebraska?
Participant: I always have been, the whole trip.
Christian: The whole time. Okay. Great. Who else is here?
Participant: Kevin from Milwaukee.
Christian: Great. Good to have you Kevin.
Participant: Yea, Kevin.
Christian: I’ve watched you on video today probably 20 times. Can’t get enough of Kevin.
Participant: Hey, Kevin’s rocking Wisconsin right now.
Christian: Alright.
Participant: How’s that on video?
Christian: What’s that?
Participant: How’s that on video?
Christian: Oh. Kevin came to the Coaching Business Freedom retreat and we videotaped it. Actually Kevin made some very nice comments about the Coaching Business Freedom Retreat that we recorded. I have someone working on editing the video. Right now, specifically editing the testimonials and shares about what people got from the program. So we were messing with that a little bit today and I got to watch Kevin on video.
Participant: Lucky you.
Christian: Yeah. I know. Totally. Totally. Well I can’t wait to get back together again with you and Scott. The Coaching Business Freedom Retreat was definitely a highlight for me and I’m going to be doing a lot more live events this year. In fact, I’ll be telling you a little bit about that later on in this call. I think you’ll be delighted to know about it. Okay, so let’s see. Who else is here? Say your name and where you’re calling in from.
Participant: Eric from New Brunswick.
Christian: Great. Great to have you Eric. I just wanted to let Eric know and Scott know that both of you, your volume is a little low compared to everyone else so anything you can do to crank up your volumes, move the mouthpiece closer to you or just speak louder would be great.
Participant: Is this better.
Christian: Yes it is.
Participant: Okay, good.
Christian: Yeah. It could be still just a little bit louder but it’s still, it’s very good.
Participant: I can stand on my head and yell.
Christian: Does standing on your head help you talk louder? If that does, then go ahead and do that.
Participant: Okay.
Christian: Alright and who else is with us?
Participant: Rosemary from Los Angeles.
Christian: Alright. Good to have you Rosemary. Okay and Gail?
Participant: Yes.
Christian: We’re going to do a quick recap of our last session. Last session we talked about mastering your psychology and specifically the strategy of parts integration and we worked on Gail twice. Actually we used the technique with Gail twice. So how have you been since last week Gail?
Participant: Good. Very good. I definitely felt a shift that I could feel in my body a shift about just letting go from fear, a freedom from fear.
Christian: Yeah. Wow. How has that shown up in your life? Like how was it showing up before and how is it showing up now?
Participant: Always kind of an underlying current and now I’m just aware probably of feeling more curious and more joy. It’s very fun. It’s quite delightful. I did not expect so much of a shift. Can I tell you what happened today? Batia and I did our coaching and do you remember when you did the success interview with David?
Christian: Yes.
Participant: He did that with me today and after combining it with the NLP that we did last week, it went someplace that neither of us had anticipated but it was very clear and something that I can move forward on. The two combined were very helpful to me.
Christian: Awesome.
Participant: Yeah. Thanks.
Christian: Awesome. Great. Great. Who, I heard a few more chimes. Who else is with us? Please say your name, where you’re calling in from.
Participant: Batia from Phoenix.
Participant: There she is.
Christian: Welcome Batia.
Participant: Hi. Sandra from Florida.
Christian: Okay. Good to hear your voice Sandra. I got your email last week and I know I haven’t responded to you. I had a little technical glitch but I have your email open on my computer and I will get back to you.
Participant: Okay. Perfect. Thank you.
Christian: You’re welcome. Let’s see. Anyone else that’s here that hasn’t checked in yet?
Participant: [Valenchia] from California.
Christian: [Valenchia], great. From where in California?
Participant: San Luis Obispo.
Christian: Okay. Great, great, great, great. Alright. Okay great, I want to check in and see how the parts integration process worked for you over this past week. Anybody get a chance to try it, either on yourself or someone else?
Participant: Oh yeah.
Christian: Who is that?
Participant: This is Eric. Remember last week at the end of the call, I said, “Kevin call me?” Well, Kevin and I had an appointment the next day and it definitely worked. It was pretty amazing.
Christian: So did he do it with you or did you do it with him.
Participant: Yeah. Yeah. He did it with me. He did an awesome job. Basically the one I had mentioned on our call where how do you – I think I had mentioned it, how do you just keep going or do I kind of put the family aside temporarily to try to get more focus on the business to get it going or do I just keep everything balanced? It was always kind of keeping me behind because I was always questioning myself whether I was doing the right thing. And because I was questioning myself I wasn’t doing either or. All of a sudden, a complete –
Christian: It was complete what?
Participant: There.
Christian: It was so complete you disappeared.
Participant: Yeah.
Christian: Are you still there?
Participant: And it hasn’t come back.
Christian: Okay.
Participant: Yes. It hasn’t come back.
Christian: Fantastic. Great, great, great. Yeah. Let’s give Eric a high, let’s give Eric, Kevin, and Gail, and Batia all big high fives.
Participant: Yeah. Big high five to Kevin for sure.
Christian: Alright. Whoo hoo. Okay. Great. Anyone else get a chance to try it out.
Participant: Well on our Tuesday night call when Kevin and Eric and I got together, Kevin did it on me also and I got to tell you, it was a fascinating experience. I had no idea where he was going with it because I hadn’t listened to the recording and I missed last Thursday’s session. It was just amazing to me. They were talking about it on the call and I was expecting this thing to take an hour, an hour, hour and a half. I figured it was going to take up all our time and within 15 minutes it was amazing how much it had just neutralized.
Christian: Yeah. Do you want to share what it was that you guys worked on?
Participant: Yeah. It was a particular fear. The downside is I don’t even remember which one it was now. I know I don’t have it now.
Christian: Alright. Well there you go.
Participant: Sounds like it worked.
Participant: Yeah. It worked really good. Completely vaporized my memory, too. But it was amazing how quickly the process went and how, I guess the really the biggest thing I realized was that I hadn’t recognized that fear as being a part of me. I was always associating it as something that was outside of me, like this oppressive force outside somewhere. As soon as Kevin pointed out to me that I should have a lot of reverence for this, that it was a very intimate and integral part of who I am and where I am today, just the light came on and all of a sudden I could see that, “Wow. No wonder I wrestle with this.” Because I wasn’t even willing to admit that it was part of me.
Christian: Yeah. Wow. Yea. I’m getting goose bumps. This is so cool, you have no idea. This is like, this is, I am so touched. I think I am, I don’t know, I’m definitely just feeling overjoyed. Thank you all, thank you guys for sharing that. You’re taking it, you’re practicing it, you’re testing it out and it is pretty damn easy, right? You don’t have to be a rocket scientist. One of the things I love about coaching, there are so many things I love about coaching but one of them is just you can start making a difference in people’s lives immediately. With all the tools that everybody in this program has now in your toolbox, there is no reason why you can’t make a massive impact in peoples’ lives and a difference that people would be willing to pay for in order to have you coach them.
Participant: One thing that surprised me when Kevin did the phone test with me was that he was quite, it was quite different from what you had done with Gail, like it was really in his own way. He twisted it in his own way and followed where I was going.
Christian: Yes.
Participant: It didn’t have to follow a specific method, A, B, C and exactly perfect.
Christian: Yeah.
Participant: It flowed with it.
Christian: Yeah. Great.
Participant: It was really cool.
Christian: Great. Well you know, I again, let all these tools are like fuel for the fire but they’re also things that you can tailor, customize, and make your own. Really when you master anything, then you do make it your own. Now I also want to encourage people to, any time I teach something that is sort of a step-by-step system, I encourage everybody to follow the system enough times that you get the system and then once you feel like you’ve mastered the system, then that’s the best time to really make it your own. Not to say that Kevin didn’t do right, right away by following his intuition and stuff but and guiding you in the way that he did. I applaud that. You know what? You can start off doing that right out the gate. So I recommend follow the system a few times and then make it your own but definitely if you feel guided to go a certain direction or do certain things or ask certain questions or whatever, definitely do that.
Okay. Alright well we could probably hear some more experiences from anyone else that worked on, that used that technique over the last few, over the last week but we have so much to cover tonight that I’m going to move on. Let’s, actually before moving on let me just check in and see if anyone had any questions that came up from either using the technique or just from having listened to the call and then later you thought maybe you got a question. Any questions about that process from last time? Okay. Great. Great.
Alright so we’re going to talk about boundaries and we’re going to review the entire Rapid Coaching Academy Program all on this call. I have a question or a question that you guys may be thinking which is, how much time and attention should we give our clients? I come from a different philosophy than a lot of other coaches and coach training schools for sure. There are a lot of coaches who are out there, maybe not a lot there’re a few coaches out there who try to coach as many people as they possibly can. Aim for 40, 60, 70 clients and things like that and there’s nothing wrong with that. I have no idea what the right number is for you.
I come from the place of, how much time and energy should we give our clients? As much as they need to get where they want to go, to a point. So remember that we want to get clients back into action. Action is to the king, action is the key to success, the key to victory. Without action, very little happens. We can become a magnet for the results of what we want but it’s very rare that everything is just going to show up on your doorstep without actually moving out into the world and taking action. So we really want to get our clients back into action.
So if they need a little support between sessions, let’s be there for them from time-to-time. But let’s remember to get them back into action. Let’s help them master their psychology. If they’re not in action, there’s probably a reason why they’re not in action and it’s usually fear, doubt, limiting belief, self-judgment, insecurity of some sort. So we want to help them master their psychology so that they can get back into action. Okay? Now we don’t want to let our clients get too dependent on us. If they’re calling everyday that’s usually an indicator that there’s probably something else that’s going on. If we’re really good coaches we can really pinpoint what’s underneath and why is it that they need to call me every day and try to do our best to get at that and help them resolve that so that they can again get back into action. But we do want to set clear boundaries.
