# Life Coach Training: Shit Life Coaches Say

**[Mattison Grey](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/mattison-grey-mcc/) sent me the 'Shit Life Coaches Say' video the same day that I got an invitation to create a TEDed Lesson.** So voila! I made a coach training lesson out of it.

**That was also about the time I set up a Pinterest account and started linking it to some old ['How Not to Coach' videos](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/how-not-to-coach/) from SCM.** Some of them are quite funny and 'Shit Life Coaches Say' fits right in.

**The embed below is from [Pinterest](http://pinterest.com/jscoach/how-not-to-coach/).** View the [TEDed lesson here.](http://ed.ted.com/on/tPAK1FB9)

**Like all How Not to Coach videos, this one has some truth to it.** Newer coaches quickly adopt the language of the profession and love to talk the talk with each other, because they all 'get it'. Nothing wrong with that. Except...

**If you can't put something into plain language, you probably don't really understand it, yet.** And that makes it hard to communicate it to non-coaches ~ including those you'd like to have for clients. Move away from using jargon as soon as you can.

**Oh, and if being laughed at makes you uncomfortable, get used to it.** Life coaching is a recognized profession and like all others, it's a target for jokes. Remember the one about the doctor, lawyer and priest?
