We all have egos. Even nations have big egos. Just a three letter word but it can cause so much anger, pride, vanity, conceit and pompousness. Remember how in our 20s this big monster Ego starts vacillating between inferior ego (lack of self confidence) and superior ego (aggressiveness)?  Well, there is another type of ego which CLI calls heavenly ego (wise actions).

In Inferior ego state we are easily swayed, can be bullied, and have low faith in self and others. In Superior ego, we can be disrespectful, unkind, intolerant and uncaring. Heavenly ego is the path of transformation where we are respectful, devoted, nonjudgmental, detached, patient and joyful. Sounds like a great place to visit, right?! As part of CLI’s Personal and Professional Development Program, participants discover how to self-coach and coach others to magically reduce the Inferior and Superior Egos. These tools are very useful at home and work when we wish to build stronger relationships.

What we have noticed is that it is both the Inferior and Superior egos which prevent us from achieving what we truly wish to achieve.  The doors to high achievement are locked!  However, by unlocking that door to personal power, wow, so many great things can happen in our world.  Try it.

“Diamonds are Forever” but what about the Diamond in each of us?

CLI’s Diamond Concept shows us that each issue in our life is like a Diamond with many facets. For example with the Diamond Concept a client may be looking at many facets of Anger in his life and may wish to work on becoming a better communicator in these different facets of his life.

What does this actually convey? One triangle facet – He has difficulty telling his wife he loves her. Second triangle facet – He wishes his wife would hug him. Third triangle facet – His boss is really bugging him. He wishes he had the courage to tell him the truth about how he is feeling. Fourth triangle facet – He is not communicating well with himself these days; he wishes he could pay more attention to his intuition and act on it.

In other words, there are many “facets” to an issue and we simply need to self coach or take the help of CLI Power Coaches until those facets are well polished wherein we feel peaceful about the issue and have solutions. As part of CLI’s Leadership Development Course we learn that each of us has “frustas” or frustrations (all the fears, feelings, distorted thinking, irrational thoughts and so on that are blocking us from moving forward). When we eliminate the frustras in each diamond of our life, we polish the diamond and come closer to having a happy life. Making our life shine again like a beautifully polished diamond is a marvellous gift to give ourselves.

Do you know that Whales communicate with each other via a whistle system?

If a whale is in Alaska he could (science has proven) communicate with his lady friend in Australia through this whistling system. However, whales are having difficulty communicating over long distances since humans have polluted and put in tons of garbage, stopping their whistles from reaching their destination. How frustrating that must be for these beautiful creatives when they cannot properly communicate with their loved ones.

In the human world, we have the same communication challenges as do the whales. Our phone lines to God are full of static. We cannot hear God clearly. Sometimes our prayers are not answered.

With polluted minds and polluted bodies, it is difficult to access our highest intuition because our access to it is filtered by the garbage we have created in the form of unconstructive beliefs in our subconscious mind and by what impure food and drink and such we put in and on our bodies.

Those wishing to clean up their clogged and constricting phone lines can begin with Life Coach Training and practice self coaching and meditation. God (in whatever form we know God to be in our hearts) is bound to answer our call.

We live in a results-oriented society. Our clients, like our Managers, want everything yesterday! PCMK™ (Power Coaching® with Mind Kinetics®) is considered an accelerated personal empowerment process because PCMK advocates the flow of energy from point to point along the fastest healing route.

Firstly, in ten minutes or less, using a sophisticated grounding or whole brain process, CLI Power Coaches help their clients find the Real Issue or Real Goal they wish to work on for a given session. Secondly, coaching results are faster since both executive and life coaching clients learn how to self-coach daily between coaching sessions with their Power Coach. The third reason is that the Science of Mind-Kinetics helps the client explore their issue/goal using pentalateral thinking: left brain, right brain, and conscious, subconscious, and super conscious minds and at the end of every session the client walks away with a committed action plan using whole brain thinking! The results are astonishing! Thus, the client will have shifted permanently at a cellular level without worrying about using willpower to make things happen. Willpower coaching has become outdated because it rarely results in permanent positive change for the client.

During the last decade of major industry transformation across the world with social media and other technologies like Cloud disrupting traditional boundaries, coaching for executives has become a key differentiator for organizations. Do you know that 44% of US Executives feel it is likely that an employee or former employee will sue them?

CLI’s Certified Executive Power Coach^® Program is entirely focused on leadership skills. A CEPC Coach works with the leader on identifying their current leadership skills and strengths, works through solutions for areas  not yet core strength, and helps the client set and achieve objectives in both self-leadership and leadership of others.

Recent indepth conversations with our Executive Clients revealed something very disturbing. Most of them have at least one of what we may call a complex situation such as in-fighting, negativity, judgement, blame and varying levels of mental/emotional instability. While not all Coaches are trained in remedial work, CLI’s Senior Mind-Kinetics® Coaches have the ability to bring peace and calm back into your organization. Don’t delay.

Self-Love is what we all strive for, isn’t it? As Executive and Life Coaches, we find that ‘Self-Love’ is one of the top ten Values sought by our Clients. What really bothers us deep down at a heart level in most everyday situations is that we do not really love ourselves, our worth, our unique skills and gifted talents well enough.

That request for ‘Self-Love’ comes disguised as many possible goals unique to each individual. For example:

To a leader, “I want to better engage my employees.”

To myself, “I want to be a better manager of my time” or “Help me acquire a Healthier diet.”

To a wife, “I want my husband to show me that he loves me.”

To a Parent, “I truly wish for my teenage son to connect with me and talk to me. To share his problems with me.”

Under each of these goals is a desire for Self-Love, to be the most loving, most generous and the most caring person. Through the PCMK™ Curriculum for Life Coach Training, we learn to reconnect with ourselves through self-love.
