Wanna hear something CRAZY!
76% of Personal Development audiences are Women and of those women, the majority of them have previously attended an event of the same nature.
It’s understandable then that many Leaders and Coaches in this field believe that ‘letting go’ of negative emotions and beliefs is HARD work.
Here’s the thing….Whether you’ve been to one PD event, or 10, it’s paramount that what you are learning is ABLE to break your negative cycles so YOU feel the benefits of long term change.
Think about it…Most PD events share information of similar nature. Unconscious/Conscious Mind. Cause/Effect. Blame/Responsibility. This field is bombarded with ‘new’ processes that promise BIG results, but ultimately share the same information in slightly different variations.
And yet they are ALL missing ONE PIECE OF THE PUZZLE for Women.
Now, more than ever there are Female Life Coaches with the best of intentions to serve others, feeling like frauds. Failures. Incapable of facilitating lasting change in others because they are STILL working on their own insecurities.
So, at the very LEAST, the next time you go researching another PD course to empower yourself AND your clients, be sure it includes these 3 things!
#1: The Process/Tool/Method/Modality you are looking into includes solid documentation that supports our Gender Differences – our biology, neurology and our past.
Women and men ARE DIFFERENT – and for far too long, we as women have been trying to ‘change ourselves’ in order to fit into a box that has been built for men. Sure, 1 out of 5 women do get good results from these more ‘masculine minded’ approaches however 4 out of 5 women are STILL struggling…. SO, is it really the women who needs to change to fit into the approach, or is it possible that the approach and tools are the things that need to be evolved?
#2: The Process/Tool/Method/Modality gives you a Framework that allows YOU to be healed AS you learn how to heal your clients with an Outcome Guarantee, and continues this support long after the qualification is gained.
It’s one thing getting a new certification to add into your toolbox, and it’s definitely something to be proud of HOWEVER, many coaches and therapists struggle to feel confident because, even though their tools and modalities are great, they themselves still feel stuck. OR they feel good initially after training, but within a period of time, insecurities creep back in. But what happens when a coach has experienced such a significant shift IMMEDIATELY within herself BECAUSE of the tool that she is now trained in AND is continually supported as she grows her business?…. a more Authentic and Genuine approach built on Integrity because nothing speaks louder than personal experience.
#3: The Organisation selling the Process/Tool/Method/Modality provides you with year round support – further increasing your development as a facilitator, and thereby increasing your chances for long-term success.
Being in business for yourself is CHALLENGING. Getting a certification to help another woman is admirable – but to avoid burnout, it’s imperative that you as the facilitator have an ongoing support network that provides you with all you need personally AND provides you with client guidance as and when you need it for HER safe outcome.
Set your next Personal Development Investment up with the above 3 things and I can promise you will experience a much more pleasant outcome that provides you with Longer-lasting results (for you AND your clients!)
