 Have you attended boring training sessions so lovingly organized for you by your HR department?  What was one of the key reasons that you felt disconnected?  It has to be Lack of Enthusiasm.  The CLI Values Card of Enthusiasm brings to the fore one single frequency that connects with frequencies of the entire audience in the session/class so that the whole group is enthused to rise individually and collectively to learn better ways to deliver value and improve in a specific goal or the area being worked upon.

Enthusiasm as learned during Executive Coach Training brings desire to learn, overcome challenges with resolve and go through our life journey with happy anticipation and peace of mind.  (Nice thought, eh?)  The right amount of Enthusiasm is the life blood of any human interaction.

Where are you on the Enthusiasm scale with respect to your life in general?  Pick a number between 1 and 10, with 10 being highest enthusiasm.

CLI Power Coaches and their clients use a deck of CLI Values Cards.  Each of these 76 cards has a different ‘Value’ printed on it such as “respect”, “honesty” and “acceptance” and each has a different frequency.  Interesting isn’t it?  One of the most wonderful CLI Values cards that you can draw out as you begin your day is “Service”. What does it connote to you?

 To an Executive or Life Coach, Service is All about the Client – how best to serve his/her client to achieve their desired outcomes.

To a CEO or Senior Manager, Service is All about the Employee – how to best serve their employees so that they can stretch and grow and be inspired to do their best work for the end-user customer.

To a Church or Temple Leader, Service is All about the Parishioners – how to help them open their hearts to truly believe in themselves and in each other in order to create a better world for future generations.

What a beautiful thing it would be if we could forgive ourselves and others for the burdens of perceived wrongs, guilt, judgment, shame, slights, humiliation or sense of depriving what we thought was lawfully ours?

Imagine how light our soul would be!

“Forgive Ourselves:  To be able to receive love from others.  
“Forgive Others:  To be able to give more love to them.”

With forgiveness, we tell others that we no longer hold ourselves or them guilty.  We pardon, absolve, condone, and overlook everything that is stopping us from loving our self and others more.  We, in effect, join hands with the culprit or the tormentor in a journey of Self-Transformation.  We become our own life coach.

All great Teachers invite us to be generous in forgiving ourselves first for the ‘sins’ or ‘mistakes’ made.  To err is human and to forgive is divine.  It is only by forgiving each other for the vagaries of wars that nations will, one day, no longer go to war.

CLI’s world renowned coaching certification programs rely heavily on a clear understanding of the Universal Laws of Human Behaviour.  One of the main Laws we frequently come across is the Law of Attraction which says, “We attract people, places and things into our lives to help us grow emotionally, intellectually, spiritually and physically.  Some will push our buttons.  Others will celebrate life with us.”

Decoding simply, the cells in our body  which are in charge of our positive or negative traits / behaviours have a certain frequency.  Everything has a vibration / frequency!  This cellular frequency attracts other human beings with the same cellular frequency on a given issue so that we can learn from them.

When we positively change the frequency and dynamics of our environment, we can transform our lives.  Is it time for you to look at who your friends are?  Is it time about changing your work environment for a more positive one?  Every day should be celebration – not a burden on our spirit.

“As you give love, you receive that love back again.  As you give, you gain in understanding.”

Have you observed how truly happy people always give love unconditionally?  Mother Teresa devoted her entire life to giving empathy, compassion and care for thousands of needy around the world.  I was moved to tears to see pictures of her lifting up the sick and wounded into her arms from the streets of India.  Such a beautiful shining example of the Law of Giving.

Imagine yourself as a Leader, Executive Coach, Parent or team member inviting your colleagues and family members to more freely “share” with each other.  Maybe your garden is overflowing with cucumbers.  Or maybe your Cook in India made too many chapatis for lunch.  These can also be shared with the poor and sick.

As a Leader you could invite your colleagues to ‘share’ how they demonstrate compassion, respect and acceptance.

Our greatest teachers for this law are the animals who ‘give’ their love unconditionally.  It expands our hearts to share.

When a Leader, Parent or Coach attends CLI’s Life Coach Training program, s/he learns vital Questioning Skills. The incisive questions challenge, promote clarity, discovery or learning. Participants learn to ask questions that demonstrate active listening and an understanding of another person’s perspective, beliefs, personal strengths and abilities.

 For example, you may be sitting with an employee who is troubled, a teenager who is having trouble at school with bullying or a senior leader who simply cannot communicate well with his/her people. It is easy to dance around – skirt around the issue. Someone with excellent behavioural based coach training can, in just a few seconds, help the person find solutions by asking this powerful question,  “And so, what is really really bothering you deep down at a heart level about this situation?”

Can you imagine the response? Yes, tears may come. Eyes may light up with revelations. Or you may get a surprising hug.
