Speaker 1 (00:00):
If you've ever felt called to be a life coach but
you're not sure what it actuallytakes to do this well, or if
you've already been coaching afew people but something still
feels off like you're missing adeeper foundation, well then,
this series is for you.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
We're Mark and Teresa .
We've been coaching for over adecade.
We train heart-centered coacheswho are ready to stop guessing,
grow their confidence andactually coach powerfully.
Most people think coaching isjust about helping or giving
advice, but the truth is real.
Coaching is something muchdeeper.
It's not about knowing more.
It's about learning to see more.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
So we created this 10-part series to tell the
truths that no one tells youwhen you start coaching.
And we're not talking about thesurface level stuff, but the
inner shifts that separate realcoaches from people just going
through the motions.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
So if you're wondering, do I really have what
it takes?
How do I actually help people?
Do I need more training or justmore confidence?
You're not alone and you're notbehind.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
This series will give you a new lens on coaching.
It'll show you what mattersmost and help you decide what's
next.
And if you're ready to grow,lead and coach at a deeper level
, we'll show you how to takethat next step.
Are you ready to do that withus?
Then let's get into it.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
So a lot of people say that they actually feel
called to coach, but is thatactually enough to succeed?

Speaker 1 (01:15):
No, it's not.
The truth is that the callingis real and it matters, but
being called alone is not a fullplan.
Many people feel, because theyfelt led to coach, that things
should come natural to them,that people should just start
knocking down their door wantingto get their help.
But that's not how it reallyworks, which is why today's
truth is feeling called isenough to start, but not enough

(01:39):
to sustain or succeed.
Coaching is a true professionand even though I really do
believe you need to have passionand purpose behind it, there's
still some extra steps that youneed to take, and without
learning how to actually lead anactual transformation, most
called coaches will either feelstuck or start to burn out.
That's why today's quote isyour calling is the spark, but

(02:02):
becoming a great coach is whatturns it into fire.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
So why do so many people feel stuck in the called
to but not moving phase?

Speaker 1 (02:12):
I really think there's two primary reasons here
.
Number one is they think that itshould just come to them
naturally, like they don't needany formal training, and number
two is they think they'recoaching, but what they're doing
is giving advice.
Now, there's a lot of differentways that people talk about
coaching, and there's nothingwrong with giving advice, but
coaching is a little bit deeper.
Yes, using your own personalpast to be able to help your

(02:33):
clients and to be able to helpother people is powerful, but
sometimes just giving themadvice is not really what they
need, and that's where coachescan step in and really help lead
the way.
Not just lead the way, but leadthem into a powerful
transformation that will changetheir lives forever.
Now, as we get into thesetrainings, we're going to talk a
little bit about how to getcertified if it's something that

(02:55):
you should even do, but wedon't want to get ahead of
ourselves.
Now, to make sure you don'tmiss any of these episodes which
are going to be on YouTube andon our podcast, make sure you
subscribe, especially for thenext one, because truth number
two is the most dangerous one ofall when it comes to coaching
and why helping people mightactually keep a coach stuck.
We'll see you soon.
