1. How is obtaining a coach certification beneficial?
   
   A coach certification from a coach training company is vital because it will prove to the world that you are coaching according to the ethics and core competencies of this industry. For example, coaching is about helping people go inside to find their own answers while consulting is about analysis and possible solutions. Mentoring is about giving advice. Counselors are more like archaeologists – they help you ‘dig’ into the past and usually spend quite a bit of time in the past to repair your life. People need to be clear on what service you are offering them.
   
   A coach certification from a coach training company is vital because they will give you a certificate that says you have met the standards of the industry.
   
   A coach certification from a governing body may be important to you if you wish to conduct Executive coaching work in corporate and government. In Requests for Proposal, corporate and government officials will often ask for a credential/accreditation from a governing body. For life coaching, as long as you have your certificate from a reputable coach training company, clients are usually not so concerned about a certificate from a governing body.


2. What are the top 3 to 5 criteria a coach should consider when selecting a coach certification program and why?
   
   
   1. Select a program that can prove a high return on investment from their coaching methodologies because the industry is turning out some Coaches who have difficulty providing the client with top rated results. As the Coach you must be able to coach the client using life-changing coaching methodologies and tools and then help them measure their results at the end. This will more than guarantee you a business in coaching because clients like doing business with successful people.
   2. If you wish to be an Executive Coach, select a program that will train you to be both an Executive and Life Coach. Once an Executive develops trust with you, chances are they may need you to help them with their personal goals such as health, their relationship with their spouse/children and their spiritual life.
   3. Vitally important is for a program to show you how to coach at the subconscious level. 95-99% of our behaviours are operated by our subconscious mind. Our subcon is 1 million times more powerful than our conscious mind. Our limiting beliefs are located in our subconscious mind; therefore, a coach needs to know how to help a client find those limiting beliefs and then switch them to positive beliefs for permanent positive change.
   4. Clients want to maximize the value they receive from a Coach. Therefore, they want to experience that they have permanently shifted their beliefs, actions and patterns.

4. What is the title of CLI's Coach Training and Certification Program?
   
   As described throughout this web site CLI's Coach Training and Certification Program is referred to as Power Coaching® with Mind-Kinetics®. The CPC, Certified Power Coach® Program (Level 1 + Level 2) is accredited by ICF. The full Professional Certified Power Coach® Program, (4 Levels), also includes the ICF accredited supervised training hours common to the Certified Power Coach® Program.


5. What is the Philosophy of CLI's School for Power Coaching® with Mind-Kinetics®?
   
   
   • CLI believes that coaching is "all about the Client". It is the Client who chooses their issues and goals, the speed at which they wish to progress and the solutions they wish to act upon and when.
   
   
   • Science has proven that habits and behaviours will only change if there is a physiological shift in the brain body. Therefore, built into every Power Coaching® tool is CLI's science of Mind-Kinetics® which literally "opens our minds" to tap into our own genius.
   
   
   • A system which recognizes that every Client is already perfect and whole with the answers inside of them, encourages the Client to self coach daily which catapults their success.
   
   
   • CLI believes it is critical to keep the spirit of a Client intact in order to create a safe environment where the Client can truly learn how to better love themselves and use that self-love to overcome all fears for optimal success.
   
   
   • At CLI we coach the whole person. For example, an Executive may need coaching on two entirely different issues: strategic planning and how to better communicate with his wife. CLI's Power Coaching® tools are universal, used in all areas of life for all issues and goals. PCMK™ also works on all four levels: emotional, spiritual, physical and intellectual. The tools are universal.
