The Being Movement - Logo.jpg
BEing for Coaches Course (4-Modules)

The course focuses on developing an understanding and practice around acknowledgment and the power of listening in coaching. Module 1: Emphasized the importance of listening, encouraging participants to engage with a "wide open" listening approach. The differences between superficial listening and deep listening were discussed, and attendees were invited to practice this highest form of listening both during the webinar and in their personal and professional lives. The session stressed the importance of applying what was learned rather than just acquiring information. Module 2: Delved into the art of acknowledgment. The session was divided into two parts: self-acknowledgment, which encouraged participants to write down their achievements and things they could appreciate about themselves, and acknowledgment of others, which focused on sincerely recognizing and appreciating the qualities of other individuals. Additionally, the concept of "being a stand" was introduced, highlighting the notion of consistently supporting and upholding the best qualities in someone else, committing to seeing and speaking to the highest potential in others. Homework: Participants were asked to publicly acknowledge themselves, someone else, and state what they stand for within the community, fostering a practice of open appreciation and reinforcing positive affirmations and intentions.

Bonus - BEing Unconditionally Loving

The "Being" course is a four-part series designed for coaches to enhance their coaching practices and personal lives by emphasizing the importance of "coaching from being." The course's content seems to focus on personal development, particularly in the area of embodying unconditional love both professionally as coaches and in their personal relationships. Key points from the message include: 1. **Community Engagement**: Course participants are welcomed to a community where they receive additional content as a bonus alongside the standard course material. This community offers a place to introduce themselves and engage with each other to foster deeper connections. 2. **Exclusive Content**: The creator will share both pre-recorded and fresh content, some of which will be exclusive to the group, to avoid overwhelming members with too much information. 3. **Importance of Unconditional Love**: A central theme of the course and the potential fifth module, if there were one, would focus on the concept of being unconditionally loving. This is characterized by a lack of need for others to change for one to care for them fully, a trait learned from Steve Hardison, a coach who embodies this attribute. 4. **Client Relationships**: The creator emphasizes that being unconditionally loving can transform a coach’s practice and personal life, making their professional relationships more fulfilling and potentially more successful in terms of growth and financial prosperity. 5. **Application to Personal Life**: The message encourages participants to apply the concept of unconditional love in their marriages and as parents, highlighting that it has profound effects on personal fulfillment and the richness of relationships. 6. **Difference from Mere Niceness**: Being unconditionally loving does not equate to avoiding difficult conversations or necessary feedback. Instead, it means that feedback is given without a desire to change the person, which allows for deeper acceptance and effectiveness. 7. **Practical Implications for Business**: The message suggests that when coaches don't attach their emotions to whether a potential client signs up or not, they maintain their ability to be loving and supportive, which can attract clients naturally and create a positive business environment. 8. **Experiences and Personal Growth**: Sharing personal experiences and growing in unconditional love has been enriching for the creator, leading to improved relationships and enhanced ability to serve others wholeheartedly. 9. **Encouragement to Participate**: The message concludes with an invitation for participants to support each other within the community with love and openness, and to provide feedback on the course content shared. It is important to note that while this summary outlines the key themes and intentions of the Being course, it might not cover all specific details and methodologies taught within the four parts of the course structure.

August 2024 Webinar for Being Coaches Community.

This webinar is focused on the concept of "being" and how it applies to personal development and professional coaching. Below is a summary of the key elements and instructions given during the course, based on the conversation: 1. **Foundation on "Being":** The course is built on the principle of "being" which is a deeper exploration of self, identity, and the state of existing in a particular way. The idea is that to facilitate change or growth in a particular area of life or in others, you must first embody that change yourself. 2. **Document Creation:** A foundational practice in the course involves creating a document that articulates who you are and what you stand for. This is seen as a way to clear out limiting beliefs and set a strong foundation for personal transformation. 3. **Language and Reality:** There is an emphasis on the role language plays in creating and shaping our reality. Participants learn that how we speak about ourselves influences our future actions and outcomes. Statements like "I am someone who eats a lot of cake" are discussed as self-fulfilling, and the course highlights how changing language patterns can open doors for change. 4. **Practical Application vs. Theory:** The course encourages exploration and application of concepts in real-life scenarios over theoretical knowledge. It's about testing strategies and experiencing their outcomes personally. 5. **Holistic Approach:** While the course primarily focuses on the concept of "being," there is encouragement to explore and be open to other methodologies and philosophies, recognizing that there is always more to learn. 6. **Feedback and Sharing:** Participants are encouraged to share their insights and experiences with the community. This aids their own understanding and supports the growth of the group as a whole. 7. **Resource Recommendations:** The conversation included specific recommendations for books such as "Real Love in Parenting" by Greg Baer for enhancing parenting skills and "Overcoming Under earning" by Barbara Stanny to improve one’s relationship with money. 8. **Interactive and Ongoing Learning:** The course sessions seem to be designed to be interactive, with discussions, Q&A sessions, and opportunities for continued learning and participation within the community. 9. **Practical Challenges:** In addition to discussions, the course encourages practical "homework," such as reading specific books and applying their lessons. 10. **Personal Growth:** There is a strong emphasis on personal growth and continuous improvement. Even if a participant is good at something (e.g., parenting), the idea is to keep evolving and learning how to be better. 11. **Abandoning Perfectionism:** The notion of perfectionism is challenged. Instead of striving for perfection, the course underlines the importance of ongoing development and self-improvement. The core of the course, therefore, is not just about acquiring knowledge but about embodying and living the principles taught, particularly around "being," which can mean different things including authenticity, integrity, and presence in one’s personal and professional life.

[Bonus] The Document

The course is centered around the power and impact of having a consciously created personal development document, commonly referred to as "the document." This document consists of a series of powerful and intentional declarations about who an individual wants to be in different areas of their life. It's emphasized throughout the course that nearly everyone has a subconscious document, or self-image, but a consciously created document is an intentional and self-affirming set of declarations that guide one's actions and growth. Peter McCammon, a coach from Northern Ireland, is highlighted as an example of someone who has deeply integrated his document into his daily life. Peter discusses how his document has profoundly impacted his personal relationships, professional life as a coach, and his health and fitness, leading to overall improvement and growth. The course contains the following main points: 1. The "Being Coaches" community aims to provide ongoing resources and support for individuals who have purchased the "Being Series" and are looking to grow further. 2. The document is more than just affirmations; it's a set of declarations or I AM statements which define the course and depth of one's life. 3. Peter McCammon exemplifies someone who diligently lives by his document, using it as a guiding star in strengthening his marriage, improving his coaching, and enhancing his physical health. 4. The course advises skepticism toward the document initially, but with time and commitment, it becomes evident how the document triggers significant changes. 5. Language is powerful, and the declarations one makes about themselves can create real changes in behavior, self-perception, and outcomes in life. 6. The course underscores the importance of the document as a spiritual process that requires deep introspection, letting go of self-judgments, and a commitment to embodying the chosen declarations. 7. An interactive Q&A section where participants can ask Peter about his journey, the specifics of his document, and how he uses it in various contexts. 8. Finally, it's recommended that those interested in personal growth create their consciously crafted document, potentially with the help of a coach who personally exemplifies living their document, such as Peter McCammon or Steve Hardison. The assistant present in the course helps with structuring the content and summarizing the important points. Participants are encouraged to share the information about the free workshop in Phoenix, where Peter will delve deeper into the document and its transformative potential.
