Now I'm training other folks who are equally fired up, to become coaches, themselves. Thank you, Oprah! Last Monday, I saw Oprah live at the premiere of her Lifeclass Tour. You might wonder why I waited 'til now to go see Oprah live. All I can say is, I won the ticket lottery for the world premiere of her Lifeclass Tour here in St. Louis and boy was I excited! Here's what I took away from this amazing adventure... **LESSON 1: Know When to Break the Rules.** Moments before leaving my house in Washington County, I called my friend, [Career Coach, Joanne Waldman, PCC](http://newperspectivecoaching.com/blog/about/), for some last-minute directions to her house, more than an hour away. Joanne, who was accompanying me to Lifeclass, mentioned that the rules said we were supposed to bring small handbags, not gigant-o bags, like the one I was planning to bring (Oprah likes her audience to look great on camera, so wear bright colors and keep your little bag under your seat). No problem! I have a huge collection of cute little bags and I quickly found one just big enough for my wallet and cell phone. I got to Joanne's house right on time, despite some crazy road construction and it was an absolutely gorgeous day. We were psyched to be seeing Oprah in just two more hours and were about to get some lunch on the way when... **Holy Crap! I left our Lifeclass tickets in my big bag at home!** (That's life with ADD.) If only...oh God! But it was too late. No tickets, no admission. I called the theater. No dice... **LESSON 2: Set Your Intentions and Act Like Your Hair's On Fire.** I called my sister, Becky, and asked her to bring my big bag with the tix and meet us halfway. It was crazy. There was no way we'd get there before the theater closed its doors for the taping, but we went for it. **God bless Becky, she drives like a 5-Alarm Fire Chief even when there's no rush.** She met us with the tix. I handed them to Joanne for good keeping and took off to make the hour-and-a-half drive with only an hour and ten minutes left 'til doors closed. Like good coaches, Joanne and I visualized walking through those theater doors with big smiles on our faces and handing our tickets to the ushers. And we made it. With fifteen minutes to spare! ![Career Coach, Joanne Waldman, PCC](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/hs-fs/file-14051839-jpg/images/joanne_w_oprah_lifeclass.jpg?width=208&height=156&name=joanne_w_oprah_lifeclass.jpg)(Okay, there was some speeding involved.) My friend, Career Coach, Joanne Waldman, PCC, in-line with a big smile on her face, just before walking through the front doors of the Peabody Opera House for Oprah's Lifeclass, feeling really relieved to be there on time (and in one piece). =====>   **And you guessed it!** Half the audience was carrying gigant-o handbags (see above pic) and nobody cared. So respect your limitations (mine is distractability) and adjust the rules to fit you. And if you screw up (which you will), set strong intentions and act on them like your hair's on fire. ![Life Coach, Julia Stewart, MCC](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/hs-fs/file-14052144-jpg/images/julia_stewart_oprah_lifeclass.jpg?width=224&height=168&name=julia_stewart_oprah_lifeclass.jpg)     <===== Here's me in the lobby, just before the ushers threw us out, insisting we get to our seats. Yeah, we broke their rule to 'keep moving', so we could nab a couple of pics. After all, we were feeling pretty special for getting there faster than humanly possible.       **LESSON 3: Take a Chance on the Unknown.** I had the option to enter the lottery for 4 different Lifeclass tapings, each with a different guest. Two were Deepak Chopra and [Tony Robbins](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/bid/65257/Why-Tony-Robbins-Can-t-Pass-ICF-or-IAC-Life-Coach-Certification), heroes of mine. One for Iyanla Vanzant, who's great. And one for a guy I never heard of, Bishop T. D. Jakes. I really just wanted to see Oprah, so I took a chance on the new guy and he was absolutely awesome. I won't even try to tell you what he said; you have to SEE him. The show airs Monday, April 9th, 8ET/7CT. Bishop Jakes is all about [Finding Your Purpose](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/bid/18306/Don-t-Stop-to-Play-Tiddlywinks-Til-You-re-Finished-Up-in-the-Birthing-Room). **LESSON 4: You're Here for a Reason.** That was the key message of the show. You're here at this show for a reason (Joanne and I knew that. We were MEANT to be there, so we had to get there on time). Your life has a purpose and Oprah and Jakes taught us how to find it. Adversity doesn't stop you from achieving your purpose. In fact, Jakes' metaphor for purpose and adversity is an archer: If you're the arrow, and your life is the bow, then the farther the archer (adversity) pulls the arrow (you) back, the farther and stronger you'll go to reach your purpose (Joanne and I had just proven that on the way to the show). **LESSON 5: Your life is a class.** I was already familiar with most of the lessons they taught that day. After all, I've been a life-long [personal development](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/bid/66494/Coaching-Your-Great-Self-A-Whole-New-World-of-You) junkie. Oprah and Jakes just have an incredibly intense and wonderful way of teaching it all. They connect to the audience more profoundly and reach more people, as a result. They are more animated (that's why you have to SEE them). They're more entertaining. After all, they are masters of television. They are stars. But aren't you are star, also? Oprah thinks so. **LESSON 6: It's what happens off-the-record that really inspires.** At the end of the show, as we were about to leave our seats, Oprah came back out, not for the television cameras, but just for us. She talked about how her purpose was to use television to help people have better lives. That she was always asking God to use her. And she had focused on how to use the Oprah show to serve her purpose, not have the show use her. And that's her big vision for OWN TV. That she has made mistakes with the network and was digging out of a hole (the papers say she just laid off 20% of her staff). She asked for our help to spread the word, so our culture has at least one television channel that uplifts, instead of just pandering to our lowest common interests. **It was her candidness and vulnerability that spoke most clearly.** Here is the biggest star in the world (according to one poll), a profoundly spiritual being who just happens to be a billionaire in kickass diamond earrings. It seems like she has the Midas Touch, but even she can make mistakes... **Hmmm, could it be that adversity will help her arrow soar even farther and stronger?![Oprah's Lifeclass Tour](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/hs-fs/file-14053676-jpg/images/oprah_lifeclass.jpg?width=288&height=216&name=oprah_lifeclass.jpg)** Yep, that little speck center stage is Oprah, from my iPhone in row Z of the orchestra. That's okay, I saw her with my own eyes and heard her message with my own ears. **=====>** **LESSON 7: Be a Servant Star.** Oprah's Lifeclass made me realize that I'd lost track of my purpose, so I can't use School of Coaching Mastery to reach it. I started the school to help carry out [Thomas Leonard](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/bid/39584/20-Qualities-of-Attraction-by-Thomas-J-Leonard)'s purpose to improve coaching worldwide with IAC coach certification. He infected me with his vision ten years ago, but then he passed away, the IAC changed, its certification has changed, the ICF has also changed. Now I'm mired in certification requirements... **School of Coaching Mastery has never really been about [life coach certification](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/bid/82609/Life-Coach-Certification-vs-Coaching-Certificate-The-Difference).** It's about the mastery coaches achieve on the way to coach certification. But what's the purpose of coaching mastery? Coaching mastery is about helping people (coaching clients) learn the life lessons they need faster and more deeply, so they can create better lives and reach the highest, fullest expression of their beings. Period. I've talked for years about the importance for coaches, of becoming [Servant Entrepreneurs](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/bid/19471/The-Secret-to-Coaching-Success-Servant-Entrepreneurs-Unite) and I just had the honor of seeing the Ultimate Servant Entrepreneur. **Oprah is a Servant Star.** Not because she's about being a star, it's because she's about revealing the star in you and asking you to use it to serve. How inspiring is that? **In what ways might you already be a Servant Star?** How do other Servant Stars light you up? How do you light people up? What do you need in order to use your life to serve your purpose? Do you know what your purpose is? How is adversity sending you even farther and stronger toward your purpose? **Are you ready to step up to Being a Star Who Serves?** Please share your thoughts below...

coaching organizations won’t tell you – it’s not their role.   So who has the guts to tell you?  Julia Stewart, the gutsy-ist coach in America, has asked me to expose some of those secrets and share with you what I think are the biggest myths about coaching and starting a coaching practice.  Here we go with the 8 biggest myths many emerging coaches believe.  **MYTH #1, 2 and 3:  Everyone needs a coach; coaching is for everyone; or everyone is a prospect.**  Sure everyone has room for improvement, but not everyone wants it.  Learning to identify who is curious about coaching and who is not takes quite a bit of practice, and assuming everyone is a prospect can get in the way of accurate sorting. **MYTH #4:  Coaching fixes problems.**  In fact, if you approach coaching with that mentality you will drive people away.  Even though few people’s lives are perfect, they will resist coaching if you “come from” something’s wrong.   ### **I often say, Amateur Coaching fixes problems.  Masterful Coaching creates them.** **What do I mean by that?**  If you take the client’s problem or challenge at face value, you will be missing a huge opportunity to really move them toward their greatness.   Behind the presented challenge is always a bigger issue.  Most of us know that.  What masterful coaches know is that you don’t have to find that issue and solve it.  You have to help the client find a project or game that is so interesting, fun and engaging that the previous issue magically disappears or is solved by the new game.   **Here is a real life example:**  A few years ago, I was bored with my coaching business and not having much fun anymore.  That was a pretty big problem.   I asked Julia for a coaching session.   Long story short, as a result of the coaching, I decided to DOUBLE my coaching fees.  Never mind my fee was already pretty substantial.  Doubling it would, with the exception of celebrity coaches, put it near the top tier of coaching fees in the world.  WOW, now I had a HUGE “PROBLEM” but boy was I excited about it, and instantaneously my boredom went away and the fun returned.   **MYTH # 5:  You have been coaching your entire life. ** Even if you have been a great listener and confidant all your life, that doesn’t mean what you were doing is coaching or that you were meant to be a coach.   When you get really good professional training it will become obvious that, while what you were doing may have been helpful for people, it wasn’t really professional coaching.  **MYTH #6:  You can make a great living in the beginning.**  You can’t charge high fees in the beginning.  Beginner coaches get beginner clients, who pay beginner fees.  That is true in most professions.  The more experience you have under your belt, the higher fee you can charge.  **MYTH #7:  Internet marketing is coaching. **  This is a huge misconception and my biggest pet peeve.   You can be a coach who uses internet marketing, or you can be an internet marketer who coaches.   Trying to be both or not being clear about this distinction is a big mistake that beginners make.   Either way is fine, but to really make it work you have to choose.  ### **Finally the biggest myth in coaching today:** **MYTH #8:  You can have a successful coaching business without learning to sell.**   I hate to be the one to break it to you, but to fill your coaching practice you must learn to sell.   This has never been more of a reality than in today’s extremely competitive market. With a coach on every corner, the only coaches that will make it will be the ones who can sell in a graceful authentic way.     **Related posts:  ** - [How Many Years Does It Take to Become a Life Coach?](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/bid/18903/How-Many-Years-Does-It-Take-to-Become-a-Life-Coach) - [6 Reasons to Run Screaming From a Coach Training School](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/bid/19722/6-Reasons-to-Run-Screaming-From-a-Coach-Training-School) - [Urban Coaching Myth: You Need to Find Your Niche](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/bid/23660/Urban-Coaching-Myth-You-Need-to-Find-Your-Niche) - [Top Ten Worst Reasons to Become a Coach](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/bid/18344/Top-Ten-Worst-Reasons-to-Become-a-Coach) 1 Comment [Click here to read/write comments](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/bid/40671/the-8-secrets-emerging-coaches-need-to-know#comments-listing) Topics: [coaching business](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/topic/coaching-business), [Coaching](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/topic/coaching), [become a coach](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/topic/become-a-coach), [Coaches](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/topic/coaches), [coaching clients](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/topic/coaching-clients), [make a living as a life coach](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/topic/make-a-living-as-a-life-coach), [Mattison Grey](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/topic/mattison-grey), [Masterful Coaching](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/topic/masterful-coaching), [Julia Stewart](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/topic/julia-stewart), [reasons to become a coach](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/topic/reasons-to-become-a-coach) ## [Extraordinary Low Cost Life Coaching: Watch This How-to Video](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/bid/24437/Extraordinary-Low-Cost-Life-Coaching-Watch-This-How-to-Video) [Posted by Julia Stewart](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/author/julia-stewart) - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) #### **Everyone raves about coaching, but it's too expensive, right?

And since coaching is always evolving, we want to know we have a certification that recognizes truly great cutting-edge coaching, while allowing coaches to explore and develop new, unheard-of approaches to delivering transformative conversations. ### This has been a difficult issue ever since coach certification was invented. Given that the bar for great coaching is constantly being raised by the brilliant new coaches who join our ranks every year, it’s necessary that a certification that attempts to measure “mastery” be flexible. **So I am building into our new certification an “inter-developmental” component.** In other words, the certifiers won’t just be looking for what we’ve already defined as great coaching; we will also be looking for how each coaching session expands our understanding of coaching mastery. **In other words we expect to learn from you.** This decision was based on numerous events, including listening to the preferences of our amazing students, who coach within their own unique styles and although they are committed to mastery and would love the stamp of approval that certification brings, they don’t want to be cookie-cutter coaches or get stuck in a quantified box called **“Coach Certification.”** ### That wouldn’t serve them. Nor would it serve the coaching profession. I applaud their courage, creativity and genius. **The Certified Mastery Coach** designation is for them and for YOU if you want it – and if you can teach us something! **Natalie Tucker Miller, IAC-CC (SCM Master Instructor, IAC Certifier and former President of the IAC)** and I have had numerous conversations about this new certification and she will join me, along with **Elizabeth Nofziger, IAC-CC (SCM Instructor and IAC Certifier)** in preparing and grading coaches to be **SCM Certified Mastery Coaches.** **As you know, we’ve been successfully preparing coaches for IAC certification for several years.** And I’m not suggesting that IAC Certification isn’t still the gold standard. What I’m saying is that even the IAC isn’t a perfect fit for everybody. Some of the greatest coaches I know have been talking to me about the need for a certification with extremely high standards, that has expansion and new possibilities built right into it. The only way I can see for this to happen is for the certifiers (our certifiers) to relinquish our “expertise” and approach every coaching session with beginners’ minds. **Is this possible? I believe it is!** And I’m so excited, I got started right away with the **February Certification Practicum**. I'm already grading SCM students with our automatic system, which allows certifiers to score in real time, rather than spending hours listening to recorded sessions, taking notes, analyzing and discussing the details, before agreeing on a numeric score. This feels much more coach-like to me and it gives the certifiers the opportunity to override the grading system, if they feel the coach has demonstrated **coaching mastery** in a new way. **If you would like to be among the very first to set a whole new standard in coach certification…** Then join me on four Tuesdays, April 7 - 28, 8 -10 PM Eastern/NY Time You’ll be one of 8 coaches who will coach, be recorded, get feedback and grading on your coaching. If your sessions are strong enough, you can get certified by us, and/or turn in your recorded sessions for IAC Certification. **We already have 4 coaches. We have room for 4 more.** This is the ideal way for advanced coaches to become even more masterful and if you are an outstanding coach then, even if you don’t conform to our pre-conceived notions, if you expand our understanding of coaching greatness, you will likely pass. Even if you don’t, I promise what you learn will be priceless. So what price would you pay for this? The 8-hour practicum which I just described is $325. Normally, the certification would separately be $400, but if you register to join this group of pioneer coaches by Friday, you can pay for the 8-hour practicum plus certification and get the certification for half price, if you use the following coupon code: **Use this Code:** **CERTIFIEDCOACH** **Save $200.** Get both for $525 by Friday, March 27th, if we still have room. Remember we only have 4 seats left. **I want to be clear:** - What you learn in this practicum will be transformative - You will have a chance to record one coaching session in the practicum - You'll get verbal feedback, right away - I will grade your session for SCM Certification - You will get written feedback, using the IAC Learning Guides - Your recorded session can also be submitted to the IAC for certification - To get certified by either SCM or IAC, you will have to submit two coaching sessions - We can help you record your other session for no extra charge - To pass SCM certification, you will also need 5 letters of reference, either from 5 clients, or from 3 clients and **2 IAC Certified Coaches** who have coached you for at least three months (In the future, we will also accept recommendations from **SCM Certified Mastery Coaches**) - Two passing sessions and 5 recommendations is all it takes to become an SCM CMC, but you must be a masterful coach **If this feels like something you want to do, I recommend that you register now.** SCM students get all of this and much more for fre\*e, but I’m opening it to the larger coaching community at a special price and I know it will fill up. You may also just register for the practicum for $325, but if you decide later that you want SCM certification, you will need to pay the full $400 for SCM Certification. **As I mentioned, SCM Coach Training Program students get both SCM and IAC certifications at no extra charge.** They also get up to three 8-hour practicums included in their tuition. We continue to offer the highest standards and value at the lowest tuition of any coach training school, but I can’t emphasize enough that our current fees will be going up. Here is the link to register for BOTH the 8-hour practicum AND SCM Coach Certification: [http://tinyurl.com/SCM-PRAX-CMC](http://tinyurl.com/SCM-PRAX-CMC) **To Save $200, use this code when you register:** **CERTIFIEDCOACH** To register for just the Certification Practicum for $325, go here and scroll to M12: Certification Practicum and register: [http://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/life\_coaching\_courses.html](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/life_coaching_courses.html) For questions about the SCM practicum, certification and our training programs, call: 877-224-2780 Thanks for supporting us and for being committed to coaching greatness!

And if one of your goals right now is Coach Certification, then the information in this article can help you get there faster and more easily. **How?** Well first, if you’re a talented coach, you probably can obtain IAC Certification more quickly than any other certification from a recognized independent coach certifier. Second, I’m going to share a big secret about how to do that. ### As you probably know, the IAC Coaching Masteries™ Learning Guides... ...are a wonderful tool for checking your own coaching sessions to see if you’re using these skills at a masterful level. It’s helpful to note though, that the information in the Learning Guides defines masterful coaching, as it is scored or graded and that they can be rather inscrutable to most coaches, when it comes to learning the level of mastery required to obtain the IAC Certified Coach designation. ### Learning coaching and scoring coaching are two very different processes. The IAC’s mission is to score and certify, not teach, so their materials tell you “what” they are looking for, not “how” to achieve it. Big difference. That’s one of the reasons why you can achieve mastery more quickly by working with coaches who are masters of the IAC Coaching Masteries™. That’s also why I’m about to share one of the most powerful “how to’s”, you’ll ever learn. ### But first, here’s a handy metaphor. Years ago, a famous retired sea captain named, Skippy Lane, taught me to sail on Long Island Sound. Skippy’s mastery of sailing was legendary in the New York City archipelago where we lived. One day I asked Skippy how sailors kept track of everything while they sailed. The current, the wind direction, the sails, the rudder; it was all so overwhelming! ### Skippy said, “You sail a boat by the seat of your pants.” I can still hear his booming voice. What he meant was that when you’re sailing, if you have everything optimally lined up, the energy of the wind pulls the boat up out of the water and you feel it rise up *literally through the seat of your pants!* That’s when a sailor knows he’s on track. And that’s exactly what happens when you ride the energy of the conversation throughout your coaching sessions. That energy is called curiosity and when it rises, it tells you that you’re on track. It’s so simple and so much more effective to do it this way, than it is to try to remember all the effective behaviors required for IAC Certification. When you focus on the skills and details, you’re too busy thinking to notice what’s really going on. When you focus on the energy, you’re attention is on the client and what your inklings are telling you about your client. That’s what separates good coaching from great coaching. ### The amazing thing is that when curiosity is used well, ...many of the events that the IAC wants to see like, “The client is no longer held back but is instead excited and moving forward…” or “The client communicates more effortlessly and resourcefully”, show up as a result of you sailing masterfully though the energy of the coaching conversation. Pretty cool! ### How do you use the energy of curiosity to coach masterfully? There is not nearly enough space in this article to cover all the ways, but here are three simple steps to get you started: 1. Notice what you’re curious about and ask your client about it. 2. Notice what your client is curious about and ask about that. 3. Use your curiosity and your client’s curiosity (and your curiosity *about* your client’s curiosity) as continuous feedback loops to help you navigate throughout the coaching conversation. It’s quite simple and the results are magic. To master this, practice it with other coaches who are knowledgeable about the IAC approach to coaching. School of Coaching Mastery has some free resources to help you with that, such as our free [Study Groups](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/study-groups/) and our networking group for coaches who want buddies and triad partners for practicing the masteries. You don’t have to be an SCM student to use these free services. And of course, we also have much more information about energy, mastery and curiosity in our [Coach Training Programs](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coach-training-programs/). Skippy never heard of coaching, but he taught me the key to masterful coaching when he taught me how to sail. Interestingly, that legendary master of coaching, Thomas Leonard, called this skill, “Navigating via Curiosity.” A shorter version of this article appeared in the February issue of the [IAC VOICE.](http://certifiedcoach.org/news/voice.html) Copyright, Julia Stewart, 2009 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/bid/17798/Coach-Certification-What-You-Can-Learn-From-a-Famous-Sea-Captain#comments-listing) Topics: [School of Coaching Mastery](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/topic/school-of-coaching-mastery), [Coach Training Programs](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/topic/coach-training-programs), [Coach Certification](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/topic/coach-certification), [Thomas Leonard](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/topic/thomas-leonard), [Julia Stewart](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/topic/julia-stewart), [IAC](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/topic/iac), [certified coach](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/topic/certified-coach), [New York City](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/topic/new-york-city) ## [Become a Coach: Ten Ways to Succeed Quickly](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/bid/17119/Become-a-Coach-Ten-Ways-to-Succeed-Quickly) [Posted by Julia Stewart](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/author/julia-stewart) - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) ### ![](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/hs-fs/hub/41761/file-2321307800.jpg?width=723&height=111&name=file-2321307800.jpg) ### Want to become a successful coach? Make sure your coach training includes everything you need... Success at becoming a coach depends on your learning style and how committed you are to the process. For best results, combine at least several of the methods listed below. 1. Listen to coaching classes. Passive attendance in coaching classes is probably the most common method that people use to learn to coach and it can work - eventually. Problem is, you’re not really learning coaching, you’re just learning about coaching. (Big distinction.) [School of Coaching Mastery](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coach-training-programs) has many classes you can listen to and we encourage you to do far more than that, as well. Read on… 2. Listen to masterful coaching demonstrations. Here, you’re getting much closer to learning to coach. You’re hearing what works. (However, sometimes hearing what doesn’t work is even more enlightening and actually practicing coaching is better still!) All our coaching skills classes include coaching demonstrations from some of the top instructors in the field. 3. Practice coaching other coaches. This is a fantastic way to learn, because it strengthens your coaching muscles and gives you a safe space to make mistakes. (To get full value, though, you need to be willing to screw up in front of your friends! ;-) SCM coaching skills Modules always include practice periods where everyone gets a chance to use what they just learned and we encourage you to practice outside classes and give you tools for finding practice partners, a.k.a. “coaching buddies”, easily. Join the [SCHOOL OF COACHING MASTERY ON FACEBOOK](https://www.facebook.com/SCHOOLOFCOACHINGMASTERY) to find coaching buddies now. 4. Get expert verbal feedback on your coaching. This is one of the best ways to learn. Get immediate feedback from an expert. Some coaches are afraid to experience this, but when done well, it’s inspiring, not painful. You learn what works, what doesn’t, why you got stuck, why you succeeded, and/or why the client resisted and how to do it even better next time. Great stuff! (Why struggle along, not knowing if you’re doing it right?) At SCM you’ll get frequent feedback on your coaching from your instructors in class and private email feedback after class. Without it, learning coaching skills can feel like target practice in a dark room! Click the link for upcoming [coaching classes](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/life-coaching-courses/) where you can get feedback are here. 5. Listen to recordings of yourself coaching. This is priceless! You’ll be surprised what you hear and what you learn. (Former President of the IAC, [Natalie Tucker Miller, MMC](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/about-us/), says she still records her coaching sessions for her own learning.) Your SCM classes are all recorded and you’ll receive those recordings by email within 24 hours, so you can hear everything you may have missed. 6. Read expert written notes about your coaching. This is even more powerful when you follow up verbal feedback with reading written notes and listening to the recording of your coaching session. Big “Aha’s” happen here. (As one coach put it, “Now I’m not flying blind, anymore!”) You’ll get frequent written feedback on your coaching if you take our Coaching Groundwork Advanced or Master Coach Training series. We don’t know of another coaching school that does this for its students. [Check out upcoming Coaching Groundwork Advanced and  Master Coach Training](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/life-coaching-courses) modules. 7. Listen to your peers coach and take detailed notes. This uses your brain in a whole different way. When you write down what you’re hearing, you’re imprinting what you’re learning. SCM classes use ICF and IAC scorecards to speed up your learning this way and you can use these scorecards to score yourself when you listen to recordings of your own coaching, too. 8. Give verbal feedback to your peers about their coaching. When you articulate specific feedback about what you heard (Not just “It was nice”), you take a stand for what you know and you find out quickly if you’re on the right track. You’ll learn how to deliver excellent feedback in our Masteries Classes. Learning to do this, while being in service to your colleagues' learning, is fun! 9. Meet in study groups with your peers. No “experts” allowed! Without the presence of a teacher or any other “expert”, coaches start to step up and take ownership of what they know. Often, this is a crucial final step to becoming masterful. (Peer-to-peer learning is powerful!) That’s why SCM has ongoing study groups, hosted by coach/students, like you, meeting every month and they’re free. Go here to find out more: [Coaching Study Groups](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/study-groups/) 10. Coaching real clients. (What a concept! ;-). This obviously is what you’re preparing for. Coach real people in real situations. Develop ongoing relationships with clients, because that relationship is about a lot more than one coaching session. If you can get feedback from your clients, that’s a hundred times better. This is one of the many reasons why the [Coach 100 Revolution](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coach-100-business) has been so successful. Coaches get written feedback from everyone they coach and find out what works from the client’s perspective. The Coach 100 Revolution is included in the SCM Full Coach Training program. School of Coaching Mastery is the only coaching school that incorporates all of these methods into our coach training programs and that’s why our coaches learn so much, so fast.

It’s about you. Come from gratitude and you’ll be instantly happier. Come from gratitude and you’ll attract more of what you want. When you struggle to feel grateful, spend time with people who are grateful. Gratitude is contagious. Gratitude is not something you feel because things are the way you want; it’s just something you feel. You can only feel gratitude in the present moment. If you wait until you get what you want to feel grateful, you have already missed your opportunity. You will always want things you don’t have. Don’t let “wanting” steal your gratitude from you. Gratitude is the first step, not the last. Let your present and future self always be grateful and you will attract everything you really want. We list the things we are grateful for, not because we need things in order to be grateful, but because we can use those things to trigger our gratitude. Enjoy feeling grateful while noticing the things you still want and your life will always be rich and joyful.  Just keep turning the wheel.

After a few glitches, I succeeded to buying a license for [School of Coaching Mastery](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/) and our parent company, Julia Stewart Coaching & Training LLC. I think we are the first!! Good thing! We've been teaching them for over a year and a half! SCM students probably won't notice any difference, since we've been operating with a verbal agreement all along, but it's nice to have bragging rights! Personally, I'd like to see more hoops for schools and mentors to leap through in order to become IAC licensees. As it stands, it's a lot easier to buy a license than to become an IAC Certified Coach. That could lead to a lot of disappointed coaches who may study with folks who are clueless about what it takes to pass this tough certification. Then again, maybe I'm just being self-serving since all of our instructors, mentors and advisors are IAC Certified Coaches, some are founding members of the IAC and some contributed to the establishment of this certification and are or have been Certifiers for the IAC. Collectively, we've taught, mentored or certified most of the current IAC Certified Coaches. Maybe I just want to crow a little! 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/bid/17667/School-of-Coaching-Mastery-First-in-the-World-to-Get-IAC-License#comments-listing) Topics: [coach training](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/topic/coach-training), [School of Coaching Mastery](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/topic/school-of-coaching-mastery), [become a coach](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/topic/become-a-coach), [Coach Certification](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/topic/coach-certification), [Become a Certified Coach](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/topic/become-a-certified-coach), [How to Become a Certified Coach](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/topic/how-to-become-a-certified-coach), [Julia Stewart](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/topic/julia-stewart), [IAC](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/topic/iac), [certified coach](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/topic/certified-coach) ## [IAC Coaching Masteries(TM)](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/bid/18002/IAC-Coaching-Masteries-TM) [Posted by Julia Stewart](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/author/julia-stewart) - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) ### [![](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_i1pvJstXTq0/RvmdIfZz_YI/AAAAAAAAAEI/Z7-o5nu8Y58/s200/certcoachlogo.JPG)](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_i1pvJstXTq0/RvmdIfZz_YI/AAAAAAAAAEI/Z7-o5nu8Y58/s1600-h/certcoachlogo.JPG)As we get ready for the Certification Prep Intensive weekend that is coming up In NYC October 26-28, focus on the [IAC Coaching Masteries](http://certifiedcoach.org) is increasing, here at the [School of Coaching Mastery](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/) (SCM). SCM is the first and only full-service coach training school that prepares coaches for the prestigious IAC Certified Coach designation with the IAC Coaching MasteriesTM. But that's not all SCM does. We're ready to roll out two new courses this Fall, "New Paradigms for Coaches" gets to the philosophy behind the coaching movement and ["](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/modules.html)Intro to Spiral Dynamics Coaching" reveals the psychology behind people, values, culture and evolution. Great stuff! Still preparing coaches for [IAC Certification](http://www.certifiedcoach.org/certify/certification.html), the only certification by an independent not-for-profit organization that is based primarily on the quality of the coach's coaching (The only thing that really matters to coaching clients), is what gives SCM it's underlying structure and inspiration. Nothing is more exciting and humbling than witnessing new coaches blossom into masterful coaches. Masterful coaches are changing the world. The IAC Coaching MasteriesTM are a higher level of coaching than is being taught almost any where else and what we've discovered, is that even new coaches can learn coaching at this higher level, when properly taught. No more struggling with mediocre skills that are hard to sell to a skeptical public. Coaches can learn what works quite quickly. That's great news for coaches and for the world! If you're in the NYC area and would like an introduction to the IAC Coaching MasteriesTM, join us October 25th, one day before the Certification Prep Intensive for the one-day [Masteries Intro Intensive](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/live.html).
