EPISODE 13 - The Cure For Stress

There's been a lot of discussion for years already about whether someone should get coaching credentials. After all, since coaching is not regulated, anyone can call themselves a coach and hang their shingle. In this episode I address: How important are coaching credentials? Will your prospective clients expect you to be certified? Will your credential make you a much better coach? You deserve to know the truth about credentials, credibility and professionalism.  Listen now!

EPISODE 12 - How Important Are Coaching Credentials?

Not everyone is ready for coaching and among those who are, some may have limitations. In this podcast Dr. Bush talks about some of the more common challenges, how to identify them and what to do.

EPISODE 10 - Christian Coaching School and Anew University PLUS More News and Updates

How many times have you seen this happen? A new product or invention comes to market and someone says, "Hey, that was my idea!" "Great ideas are a dime a dozen but implementation is priceless." says Mary Kay Ash, the late founder of Mary Kay Cosmetics.  Ideas are opportunities.  And even when negative events happen, opportunities are created by them that otherwise might not exist.  We just need to look for them. Just look at history.  Most people remember the Great Depression in the United States as a miserable time for most folks. BUT, those who looked for the opportunity, got ideas and implemented them, made a fortune.  In fact, that was a time more millionaires than ever before were created in the United States. I was blessed to be mentored by one of them, the late John Galbreath, who was a commercial real estate development mogul in Columbus, Ohio.   You’ll hear me talk about him from time to time because he shared great wisdom with me that I live by to this day.  He was in his late 80s when he mentored me and told of when he had been the owner of the Pittsburgh Pirates, had Derby winning horses and was a huge believer in mentoring young people.  His passion for young people was evidenced by his philanthropy with the Ohio State University Development Fund.  I met him when ...

EPISODE 9 - Stop Missing Opportunities

Today we are going to talk about a skill that is really more about what we don’t do, than what we do.  In order to coach deeply, we need to hold the space for our client. When we coach in this way, it may appear to take longer to achieve results at times, but the results are far deeper and longer lasting because the client was deeply involved in achieving their outcome. Holding space in my view, is about doing less rather than more, in order to empower your client.  And coming up, I will explain how to do this as well as what not to do. When my students first begin coach training, they are so excited that they will be able to guide people to success.  They look forward to giving good, solid advice and help solve their client’s problems.  At first glance, that sounds really good.  The problem is that in order for your client to get the best results, they themselves need to arrive at the answers and we are not there to judge them, fix them or try to manipulate the outcome.  Because we are Christian coaches, and our first and foremost obligation is to remain loyal to the Lord, this involves a delicate balance.

EPISODE 8 - How To Coach Deeply

Thank you for joining me for an extraordinary episode today. On occasion you will hear personal interviews with those I believe, can add great value to your life as well as your coaching, and in this case also, counseling practice. I recently had an opportunity to do an in-person interview with my guest, Karen Federighi, in Naples, Florida. Since we were not in a studio and were fortunate to find a somewhat quiet public room in a hotel there, you may still hear occasional local sounds.  But thanks to expert audio editing by Evan and Simply Beautiful Media, those will be kept to a bare minimum. Karen has been featured in an NBC news report and when you hear dates, times and locations mentioned in this show, please know that this information has already been vetted and released in major network broadcasts. In addition, Karen will appear in an upcoming Hollywood-produced, full-length documentary because of her experiences, due out in July of this year. When I first saw Karen, she was having breakfast at the hotel with Diamond, her parrot.  Being an animal lover, I was drawn to meet Karen and learn how Diamond became so tame and well behaved.  The conversation later turned to her story and when I heard her testimony and we prayed together for her protection, I knew I had to bring her story to you. I want you to learn what very few coaching and counseling professionals know, as well as discover how to protect yourself also. Through it all, Karen has a strong faith, as you will hear when you meet her.  Please help me welcome Karen Federighi … SHOW NOTES: Summer C-School (Advanced Christian Coaching Class) Details and Enrollment is at http://pccca.org/summer  You can find show notes online at http://pccca.org/7  ========= The Christian Coaching School Podcast is your one-stop resource for continuing education, personal growth and becoming dually certified as a Certified Christian Life Coach and Certified Professional Life Coach.

EPISODE 7 – Interview with Karen Federighi, featured on NBC and Upcoming Movie

Let’s talk about how to get speaking gigs as well as how to get paid for speaking. You need to get in front of those who are hungry for your message. This is the third and final episode in this series on public speaking training and I have a LOT of hands-on, actionable content, lots of resources and links as well as tips for you. Whatever your area of expertise, you need to package it so that it appeals to an audience who is looking for that information. If there is no audience for it whatsoever, you need to develop a new area of expertise. You can find these areas by searching Google or looking online to see what is selling. You topics must match the needs of your target audience. It will help if you are or can become an expert in your niche. Event hosts tend to prefer specialists over generalists. Connecting with the right people will let the public know of your expertise and your availability. It's also a very good way to get referrals. Word-of-mouth is very powerful. Always be courteous, enthusiastic, and confident. You will begin to get calls from event planners that you may not even remember speaking to.

EPISODE 6 – Public Speaker Training For Coaches – Part 3

Welcome back. I hope the previous episode inspired you to do more public speaking. I think once you have a system down for how to prepare and present, your confidence will skyrocket. Today we will continue training on this topic. Today we are continuing with Part 2 on the topic of public speaker training, dealing with you as a presenter, your content and your audience. Last time we talked about the importance of preparation and how to prepare. As a review… we talked about our attitude, skills and preparation. We discussed the importance of opening impact and how to craft it. The content itself has 3 parts. The introduction, the body and the conclusion. With your INTRODUCTION your audience gets to know who you are, why you're qualified to speak to them, and that THEY are going to benefit you’re your presentation. Here you set the scene by telling your audience what you are going to tell them. Within the BODY, you will organize your core material into key points - remember, keep it to four or five main points. Keep each point short and focused. Provide enough supporting information to make the point clear. Each point should have a beginning, middle, and an end. Each point should be reinforced with a real-life example, an anecdote, some statistics, and maybe some humor from time to time if you feel it’s suitable. Emphasize the benefits or importance of each point. Then , in your CONCLUSION - Make it clear that you have arrived at the conclusion of your presentation. Summarize the key points, but don't introduce new items. If you're going to have a question-and-answer period, have it now. Finish in an upbeat manner, make a final impact statement, and give a call to action to the audience members. The better you know what you're going to say, the more comfortable you will feel, so practice makes perfect. Now we need to discuss the two other components of the presentation; you as the presenter and audience interaction ... ============= You can find show notes online at http://pccca.org/5   The Christian Coaching School Podcast is your one-stop resource for continuing education, personal growth and becoming dually certified as a Certified Christian Life Coach and Certified Professional Life Coach.

EPISODE 5 – Public Speaker Training For Christian Life Coaches - Part 2

Today we are talking about how to get prepared for public speaking. This is a really important topic for us as Christian life coaches because we want to make the most of our speaking opportunities. And, there are coaches, whose primary method of delivering coaching, is to do so before an audience. I am one of those rare people who actually enjoy public speaking. It wasn’t always that way, but now I look forward to sharing my message with lots of people. I don’t think I am a great speaker but when I get in front of a group, my talk just flows out of me. Some people refer to this as anointing. But I definitely think it’s God because without a sense of purpose to my talk, it’s just so much noise… and even bores me. So that said, I think knowing your PURPOSE deeply is a key ingredient to being comfortable. Make sure that your PURPOSE compels you to share … knowing that some part of God’s plan may be left incomplete if you don’t get your message out. Whether you write or speak, God has given you a unique voice, meaning a special way of conveying your message that will resonate with certain people. It is your job to fine tune your presentation skills to engage powerfully with as many in your audience as possible. Preparation is everything and today we are going to talk about what you can do, to make sure each public speaking engagement is stellar. I want you to get invited to more and more venues to share your message and today I will tell you what needs to happen BEFORE you ever step on the stage, to make sure you are ready.

EPISODE 4 – Public Speaker Training For Christian Life Coaches - Part 1

I believe many life coaches would agree that the single most difficult task is getting your client motivated to act.  This is no different for Christian life coaches. This could be seen as strange since a client hires a coach because they want change and coaches are change agents. There are many reasons clients don’t take the actions that lead to the results they want and it is important to explore those. In today’s episode we will review many of the reasons clients fail to take action and questions you can ask to help them move forward. You can find show notes online at http://pccca.org/3

EPISODE 2 - Why Coaches Need Coaching

The topic of this week’s episode is HOW TO GUARANTEE THE SUCCESS OF YOUR COACHING PRACTICE. First, let’s be clear on how we define success … then how we set ourselves up to achieve it. The transcript and show notes will be posted as soon as they become available.  

EPISODE 1 - How To Guarantee The Success Of Your Coaching Practice

Welcome to the Christian Coaching School Podcast.  I have wanted to do this podcast for quite some time but it had to be the right time. If you are in my inner circle, you may be aware I have been busy writing the 2nd edition of my book, the Comprehensive Christian Coaching Handbook, Essential Guide to Spirit-Led Coaching and Business Success.  whew … long name …   The first edition was actually published back in 2009 and at that time it was a manifesto of sorts.  Prior to my book, Christian coaching had been taught almost the same as secular coaching, but scripture was added for the Christian audience. And … you and I both know what happens when you add random scripture to validate your secular point.  It becomes far LESS about what God wants and MORE about what a person wants. Because of this I had known for a very long time that I would eventually write a textbook as the foundation for an actual scripturally-based Christian Life Coach training program. The book we had used was no longer in print and the truth is, I could not begin then, to offer compromised training to our students.  When I published the book and thereby pulled back the curtain on what had come before, there were a few unhappy coach trainers out there because the truth had been revealed.  But I believe we have to do what we feel is right in this world and that takes courage a lot of the time because the enemy is never happy when God’s truth is revealed. So despite that, God prevailed and His word was laid as the true foundation. The Christian life coach training that we offer at the Professional Christian Coaching and Counseling Academy aka PCCCA, at http://pccca.org is based on my book, so you can be sure that the content of the training is pure. As I say in my book, I wrote it because God inspired it, every step of the way. I am just telling you this because I think it’s important for you to know who you are listening to. And I promise to keep you updated when I get close to publishing the 2nd edition. So … what else can I tell you about me and what we do here … ? Since 2003 we have trained thousands and thousands of Christian life coaches worldwide at PCCCA and we have graduates on every continent. I have also trained many if not most, of the current Christian coach trainers. Most of them are even now on my email list.  And if that’s you … I know you are out there LOL  And hey, it’s all good. I hope what we create here continues to bless you and those you teach. We all serve the same Lord after all. Right? We also hosted the first annual Christian Coaching Week this year which was a great success with participants from all over the world. To join in the event next year, just visit the website at http://christiancoachingweek.com and ask us to send you updates for registration. I look forward to getting to know you during our time together on this podcast. There will be lots of opportunities for you to communicate back to me with your thoughts and what you would like to hear more about. Finally, I want to introduce you to some of the topics you can expect to learn more about on this podcast.  Now these are in no particular order and the list is certainly not complete as I will add topics based on listener request as well. Ok … I will be talking about … The importance of the Lord building your coaching practice The top Coaching Questions to help you Get your Clients Unstuck How You Can position yourself for God to promote you How to Make Sure Your ideas Outlive you – creating a legacy I will also give previews into our current and new courses and how I think they will help you. We’ll discuss Time management matters and accountability How to Write your Coach Bio – quickly, correctly and effectively How to Easily Attract Clients to your Coaching practice How You TOO can become an Agent of Change We’ll talk about why coaching friends and family might not work so well I will teach you about Coaching styles and how to know if you are using them correctly I will have at least one episode about Sabotage, Success Traps and how to avoid them I’ll give you LOTS of power questions to improve your clients' results You’ll hear Professional Image Tips I will teach on how to talk to non-believers in a way they will receive your message – this is critical in our personal and professional walk And I may also bring on a special guest now and then. And SO much more.  I can’t wait to begin this journey with you, so go ahead click on the next episode and if you like this podcast, I will be honored if you share it with your colleagues and leave a review. ...
