It's not just about memorizing a bunch of skills and theories though knowledge is a part of it, it's only one piece of the equation. What do you think are the qualities that make for a great coach? Pause the video for one minute, grab a piece of paper and jot down your ideas. Go ahead, I promise I'm not going anywhere. You'll be prompted to stop and journal your thoughts like this throughout the course. So it's a good habit to keep a pen and paper handy when viewing the videos. All right, hit pause now and record your thoughts. Great. So now let's talk about what makes a great coach. See how your thoughts stack up against the key points in this lecture and share your ideas in the Facebook group afterwards. One of the greatest qualities of a coach is self-awareness. Your beliefs shape the way you perceive and deal with your clients. Knowing what it is that you bring to the table opens the doors to clearing out your own clutter. From this space, you can be fully present and unbiased. Next, great coaches don't play small. Fears and self-doubt can easily get in the way of your coaching practice if you let them. Learn how to identify and overcome your fears and doubts, so your practice can be as big as your dreams. Another point I want to make is that any coach can learn and memorize techniques and skills, but a great coach understands how and when to apply those coaching skills. Another quality of a successful coach is authenticity. Being yourself is what makes you standout. Clients can and will pick up on if you're being fake or holding back. If I could drive home only one point in this course, it's this. You already have everything you need to be a great coach, you just need to tap into it and trust it with confidence. This course will teach you everything you need to know to tap into your ability, to become a great coach. You'll learn how to build warm relationships, listen deeply, create space and embrace silence, and how to ask the right kinds of questions. You'll able to inspire and support behavioral change, guide the creation of successful action plans, hold clients responsible and accountable through every step of the process, and empower your clients to do and be their very best. By the end of this course, you'll integrate the philosophies of best practice to truly understand your clients, and you'll be able to work without the interference of your own bias and belief system. During the course, you'll apply what you're learning by practicing theories in real life scenarios and through participation in self-reflection exercises. You'll be empowered to overcome your personal limitations and the fears that hold you back in your coaching. Finally, remember, how we talked about how incredible and unique you are. This course will enable you to personalize your coaching practice and style by applying the concept of bio-individuality to your signature program. You can expect to get the following benefits out of this course. Personal growth, expertise in coaching skills, a clear vision of your coaching business, confidence in your coaching through intensive practice, and a support system of dedicated skillful coaches.
