You might find it interesting to know that each of us has a unique preference for the way in which we like to receive, learn and internally represent new information and experiences.

This knowledge can be particularly helpful in relationships and in careers that involve educating, helping or motivating people (teachers and life coaches are two examples).

Before I explain any more about these different channels of learning and representation (commonly called modalities) and so that you do not unfairly prejudge what I have to say I would invite you to explore your own preferred learning modality.

New Insights is unique in offering a structured 13-session coaching system for its trainee coaches to use in practice coaching and if they choose in their professional coaching endeavours after certification.

When the system is properly followed, the coaching process takes coach and client around six months or so to complete and may be followed up with ongoing coaching if needs be.

Six months? Is there no quick fix? I often get asked.

There are no short cuts to any place worth going.

Is there anyone who can say, with hand on heart, that they are not in awe of or at the very least inspired by the amazing diversity of scenery, climate, trees, plants, animals, fish and even insects that we are so privileged to be surrounded by on this beautiful planet of ours?

I have yet to come across such a person!

Why is it, then, that so many humans struggle to come to terms with the issue of diversity within our own species?

It is our inability to recognise, accept and celebrate those differences.

Have you ever noticed how these three little words, could, would and should, tend to dominate our language?

They all have many important and rather innocuous uses of course, but they can also be reflective of a life not lived to its full potential.

Im referring, in particular, to the use of these words when paired with the word have, as in could have , would have and should have .

Politically and socioeconomically speaking, the world is pretty unstable right now. I doubt many readers would disagree with this.

Although New Insights is proud to have trainee coaches and certified coaches all over the world, our main markets are the UK and South Africa.

And right now both countries, in particular, are currently experiencing a level of political and socioeconomic uncertainty not felt for a long time.

As we citizens struggle to make sense of the upheaval, it is tempting to point a finger of blame at our leaders, whinge and complain amongst ourselves and then sit back and hope that the whole mess sorts itself out soon.

But that would amount to simply existing when we really should be living!

If you are a regular reader of this Blog and youre not already a coach, or training to become one, theres a good chance that becoming a life coach is something you have given serious consideration to.

If so, Ive been in the business long enough now to know whats likely to be holding you back.

There are about half a dozen questions that 90% of people considering a career in life coaching routinely ask. Right up in the rankings is: Can I make a success out of this?

I normally preface my stock answer with the following quote from Henry Ford (see the box below:)

Were celebrating!

Glance to the right and youll notice an award for Life Coaching Insights. Feedspot adjudged us to be one of the top 100 life coach related blogs internationally (you can click on the award to read more).

In fact, we cracked their top 20, being placed 18th a great honour indeed.

One of the main criteria for this award was quality and consistency of the content posted.

That got me thinking
