An Instructor teaches me how to carry out a task and teaches me the instructions for using objects and equipment.

A Personal Trainer teaches me how to achieve my personal objectives.

The difference between an instructor and a personal trainer is that the personal trainer connects me to the emotional energy required to motivate me to meet my objectives, as well as instructing me how to meet those objectives.

An instructor gives me the ability to complete my chosen task, whereas a personal trainer gives me the power and motivation to complete my chosen goals.

A personal trainer motivates me by allowing me to meet my emotional needs whilst achieving my desired objectives.

A Coach empowers me to fulfil the potential of my own ability and guides and supports me to fulfil my objectives in the most beneficial and acceptable way.

Once I have been taught the ability to fulfil my objectives, my Coach enables me to aspire to the excellence of my innate ability by connecting to me to the true power and authority that inspires and empowers me.

An Instructor works with my ability to achieve.

A Personal Trainer works with my emotional power to achieve.

A Coach works with my authority to achieve.

There is no room for humbleness in sport.

Humbleness means adopting a lower stance than someone else.

It allows others to be superior to our self by virtue of our own inferior stance.

Superiority always wins over inferiority.

Inferiority and humbleness always loses.

There is no room for a losing mentality in sport.

With a losing mentality, competition has no worth.

Even when taking part in sport is more important than winning, there is no room for humbleness in sport.

When sport is about taking part and competing with others, winning or losing is no longer important.

When the objective of sport is to compete with one’s self to improve and grow using all other competitors as a measure of our own performance, winning and losing is no longer important.

Winning is only important to someone who has a need to win.

Losing is only a problem to those who need to win.

When I compete only with my Self, I cannot lose.

When I overcome the duality of winning and losing, I can compete with equanimity and equability and there is no need for either arrogance or humbleness in sport.

Guiding and Supporting are the two primary skills of a Coach.

Guiding is also a leadership skill of a Director.

When I guide someone by leading them, I am guiding them in my chosen direction.

When I guide, lead and direct someone in my direction, they become a follower or a worker. They follow my lead, my guidance and my direction.

When I lead someone by guiding their direction they will need my motivational support because they are acting under my will power.

When I support another as a Life Coach, I connect them to their own Source of Power and they become empowered with Life-force Energy.

With sufficient power, I support others to make new choices.

Once another has the power to make new choices for themself, I can guide them to realise, make real, those choices and bring them into their reality.

A Director guides another to follow his/her authority and supports them to achieve his/her aims and objectives. Followers, employees and workers require direction and motivation.

A Life Coach supports another to connect to their own emotional power, guides them to follow their own authority and enables them to lead their own Life. With Guidance & Support they become inspired and empowered.

There are two distinct aspects of Life Coaching:

Physical Life Coaching has the goal of achieving the wants and desires of my ego, which are:

• To get what ever I need emotionally
• To have whatever I need materially
• To achieve whatever I believe that I need to achieve
• To learn knowledge to attain status
• To attain status to earn money
• To earn money to gain power

Spiritual Life Coaching has the intention of attaining the Passions of my Soul, which are:

• To live my vision, mission & purpose
• To do what I truly value
• To attain Happiness, Well-being & Expansiveness
• To attest to my Power, affirm my Authority & acknowledge my Ability
• To be Healthy, Wealthy & Wise; Content, Fulfilled & Joyful
• To have Presence, Clarity & Direction
• To allow what I have, approve of who I am being and accept whatever turns up in my life

Therapy is for people who have become a victim of their own belief system.

Coaching is for people who have awakened to their destiny.

Coaching is for people who have chosen to take responsibility for creating their own lives.

Therapy is for people who believe that other people have created their incapacity.

Coaching is for well people who choose to get better.

Therapy is for ill people who want to get better.

Therapists believe that they have a cure for all people’s ills.

Coaches believe that we all hold the blue-print for our own destiny.

Therapy provides a quick fix to overcome problems.

Coaching guides and supports the alignment of opportunities for personal spiritual development and growth.

Business coaching is the process of coaching employees in a business to achieve the goals of the business.

The goal of  a business is to make money for its shareholders.

Everyone from the CEO downwards is an employee of the business.

Leadership of employees through Coaching is becoming more accepted and preferable to Directive Management as a means of motivating employees to perform profitably.

Directive management tells employees what tasks are required and what standard the tasks are required to be performed to. They work to Standard Operating Procedures.

Leadership coaching builds teams of people who co-operate on the achievement of the company’s agreed goals. They work to agreed Standards Of Performance.

Directive management requires managers to motivate and supervise.

Leadership coaching empowers the employee by meeting their emotional need to succeed.

Business coaching clarifies the vision, mission and purpose of the Business but is singularly uninterested in the vision, mission and purpose of the individuals within that business.

Clarifying the vision, mission and purpose of an Individual in a business is called Life Coaching.

Our Direction is our “Way”.

When we show someone the Way, we give them direction.

When we show someone the Way, we are no longer lost. We cannot show the Way and be lost our Self.

There is not just one Way. There is not The Way.

My Way is totally individual, unique and exclusive to my Self.

I have one probable Way. You have many possible ways (probably one each).

When we tell someone what to do, we are directing them and telling them directly and we are telling them our probable way and not their probable way.

We cannot give others Direction by leading them our Way or directing them our Way.

We give Direction and show the Way by:

• Modelling who we really are.
• Reflecting their personality and character.
• Being in syncronicity with others.
• Passing on messages of revelation.
• Connecting others to their power.
• Projecting a positive perspective of Life.
• Shining and radiating our Light.
• Being empowered with Love.

We can give Direction and show the Way, but we cannot successfully tell another where to go and how to get there.
