The Pathway to Powerful & Lasting Change

What is Coaching?

An extraordinary and unique relationship designed to create a significant impact and sustainable
results in all areas of a person’s life.

Coaching is a powerful process uniquely designed to create lasting change. Coaching is also a profession,
and one that offers highly qualified experts the opportunity to experience career fulfillment as well as financial security. Because of the extraordinary benefits of the coaching relationship to both client and coach, it’s no wonder that the demand has never been greater for great coaches.

It’s Not Consulting. It’s Not Counseling.

Coaching offers a distinct advantage over business consulting. Business consultants typically use their
specific knowledge and prescribe a course of action to achieve an objective. They TELL the client what needs
to be done and they may even do the work that is required.

While consulting is about the consultant delivering the right answers, coaching is about asking the right questions while empowering clients to create their own customized and personal solutions and become the
drivers of their own success. Through improved communication, focus and accountability, coaching dramatically increases clients’ capacity to accomplish better results on their own. Coaching does not deliver a single solution – it permanently increases the client’s own ability to repeatedly develop solutions.

Coaching is not counseling. Counseling aims to heal mental and psychological issues and often examines PAST events. It usually centers on diagnosing a ‘problem’ that needs to be addressed. Coaching involves no such diagnosis and in fact, coaches only see opportunities, not problems. Coaches shift the focus from “why” to “how.” Coaching is very results oriented, maintaining a focus on the current situation and actively developing plans for the FUTURE. Counseling focuses on helping people to live functional lives. Coaching focuses on helping functional people live extraordinary lives.

And Now, the Difference Between Coaching and Great Coaching!

The iPEC Advantage… Combining the Best of Many Fields to Produce Outstanding Results

Now you understand that coaching isn’t consulting, and it isn’t counseling. But there’s even a difference between coaching methods – and in the results they deliver!

All coaching works to some extent, but iPEC’s proprietary Core Energy Coaching™ process takes coaching to a whole new level. The difference between great coaching and average coaching (much less poor quality coaching) is similar to the difference between a concert violinist and someone who’s just beginning to play. Both play the same instrument – but the quality of the music is noticeable to anyone. iPEC coaches are master coaches – and the difference can be found in the results that their clients achieve.

In fact, one reason that the Core Energy Coaching™ process is so effective is that it draws upon what works well in consulting and counseling and other helping modalities, and combines them into a process that’s incredibly effective and transformational.

  • Holistic. Consulting is great at giving clients answers to specific challenges in only ONE aspect of a client’s life. iPEC coaches recognize that everything is connected, and that making a change in one area without considering the effect of that change in other aspects of life doesn’t give the best chances for success. The Core Energy Coaching™ process explores the intricate and always changing HOLISTIC perspective of every client’s life.

  • Future-Focused. Counseling and therapy work on healing past issues. The past can’t be ignored – after all, what happened in the past makes clients who they are today. iPEC’s Core Energy Coaching™ process helps clients “visit” the past in order to identify and remove barriers to taking positive action, something that many individuals accomplish only after years of therapy. iPEC coaches make clients aware of how the past shapes the present – and helps them to move to the future they desire.

Earnings | From $150 – $500+ per hour, what will YOU earn as a Certified Professional Coach?

One key question everyone always asks is “What can I earn as a coach?” Right now, certified coaches are being hired by Fortune 1000 companies, federal and state government, small businesses, athletes, professionals, couples, groups, families, parents, teachers, and even teens. As a result, experienced life coaches are earning an average of $77,000 per year, and experienced corporate/business coaches are earning an average of $134,800 per year.

These are the averages – the middle of the bell curve. As you think about becoming a coach, ask yourself:

  • Where do I likely fall on that curve?

  • In the past, when I have been fully engaged in a pursuit that aligns with my purpose and values, do I tend to be only an average performer? Or, above average?

  • As I am being drawn to coaching, how do I develop my existing strengths and skills with those necessary to build a successful practice and become a highly sought after coach?

  • How can I specialize to really make a difference and great living in my new profession?

The answers to all these questions will change the course of your life. You have a calling. And it’s now time to answer it…

Business and executive coaching is a great market to be in right now. Not only does coaching capitalize on my experience and allow me to do something I love doing, but executives and entrepreneurs need and want coaching more than ever. They are faced with challenging times and are looking for a trusted partner who can help them steer their careers and organizations. My business and executive coaching practice has jumped rapidly to earning more than $20,000 a month, and I’m now hiring additional coaches to work with me.

Putting Your Talents to Use

You can take your existing talents and channel them to create true significance in the lives of others. Your talents may steer you to achieve that kind of mastery through Life Coach Training, Corporate Coach Training, Small Business Coach Training, or Executive Coach Training.

You already know what it takes to be successful in many aspects of your life. What you’re looking for is the right methodology to be able to use this experience and draw on all your talents to help your clients get the absolute best out of themselves. So let’s talk about where personal and professional success comes from.

What you may have already realized from your career and life experience is that some people are nearly always successful in what they do, while others seem to struggle along constantly – despite both sets of people having similar backgrounds, experiences, skill sets and resources. As you begin to study success and what creates results, you learn that the difference between these two groups of people is basically the ability to identify what areas they need to strengthen, change or transform – and then to make it happen. This ability is dependent on 5 factors.

The 5 Building Blocks of Transformative Change

To achieve the kind of success they desire, individuals can develop and strengthen these 5 characteristics through the Core Energy Coaching process, a method pioneered and taught only by iPEC.

  1. Awareness – meaning how aware they are of their own self (understanding how they think, behave and come to believe what they do), as well as how others come to think, feel and act in the way that they do.

  2. Core Thoughts – meaning that they are driven by consciously chosen values, guiding principles and beliefs that focus their attention immediately on solutions, on taking responsibility, on moving forward, on helping others and in seeing the purpose in all situations. If they experience challenges, they check and shift their core thoughts to drive permanent, powerful changes.

  3. Holistic Perspective – meaning they know that any situation or person is conditioned and impacted by more than just what you can see in front of you. They realize, for example, that an executive who’s facing challenges with a specific employee, may be feeling the effects of issues at home, with other employees or their own bosses, with clients, with their health, or any other number of contributing factors. The whole view or bigger picture must be looked at to understand the context of a singular situation.

  4. Engagement – meaning focused, committed, dedicated and enthusiastic about the task, project or goal that they are looking to undertake or achieve. It means being energetically committed, on all levels, to drive forward for what you want. Research by the Gallup Organization has proven that engagement is directly tied to productivity, performance, innovation, and ultimately profitability for an organization. The same is true for how engagement impacts your personal performance and results.

  5. Capacity – meaning they are constantly stretching their capabilities and comfort levels and learning to “exercise” and build significantly stronger abilities so that projects and circumstances that were once stressful and difficult, are now easy, second nature and rewarding.

There are People in This World That Only You Can Coach. How Long Must They Wait?

As you find out more about iPEC and the Core Energy Coaching™ process, you’ll discover that this is the most effective way to create substantial change and sustainable results for your clients. Equipped with your existing knowledge, you’ll learn how to:

  • Ask the exact right question at the right time to trigger an outstanding “AHA!” moment that’ll open up infinite new possibilities for your clients to explore

  • Hear everything your clients are NOT saying that’s really holding them back

  • Raise your client’s level of awareness so they quite literally see themselves, other people, and all situations and circumstances from a completely new perspective

  • Expand your clients’ emotional intelligence so that they can better connect to and build rapport with everyone they encounter

  • Challenge your clients’ underlying assumptions and interpretations which prevent them from seeing new alternatives and solutions

  • Introduce multiple new possibilities and perspectives and help your clients take ownership over the ideas that will make the biggest impact for them and their situations

  • Create energetic buy-ins that fully engage your clients in whatever they want to accomplish
