Many mental health professionals view coaching as a skill set that can either supplement their existing practice, or as an entirely separate income stream. As Social Work Today stated “…social workers are naturals to take proactive clients to ‘most valuable player’ status.”
iPEC Coaching is pleased to announce that the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) has just approved our Life Potentials Training program for 27 continuing education units (CEUs). Life Potentials Training is the perfect starting point for social workers considering a move into professional coaching, as it provides new skills to coach others toward improving any and every facet of their lives and work.
During this one weekend session, individuals discover how to put the best of who they are into all that they do. It empowers them to feel invigorated with each day and each experience. It helps them to become their authentic selves – confidently sharing their gifts with those around them.
What makes Life Potentials Training extremely unique is that each participant is coached on personal and leadership development and, at the same time, trains to use these same skills and processes with other people. This inside-out method for intensive professional development, called the Core Energy Coaching™ process, enables participants to become even more effective as social workers, leaders, consultants, teachers, and parents in that they get to personally experience all that they will ultimately to do with others in just 3 days.
Finally, but most importantly, students understand the key, underlying blocks that most typically prevent people from taking action and achieving sought-after goals, and they learn the approaches to permanently removing those blocks. The skills, philosophies, tools, and overall experience have a profound impact on all aspects of attendees’ lives – such as improving personal relationships, stress levels, overall fulfillment, and much more.
iPEC not only offers the Life Potentials Training, but also our complete coach certification training program, of which Life Potentials is the just the first segment.

At iPEC, we believe that coaches should walk the talk. That means that they should live the process they espouse, and not just from time to time… as a lifestyle. We train people to BE coaches, not just to DO coaching.
Think about this: if you were a therapist and you walked into your video store and began a conversation with a familiar clerk, would you do therapy? Of course not. If you were a carpenter would you shore up the counters before you left? Not a chance. But if you were a Core Energy Coach (iPEC’s coaching system), you’d be a coach 24/7, and with everyone in your life. In other words, coaching, being a system that allows you to fully be who you are, forms a framework for every conversation or interaction you ever have.
After people take our training, I often hear them remark that they aren’t sure how they survived in their lives without the Core Energy Coaching training. The skills, tools, techniques, and methodology are great, but more important is the entire philosophical approach that grounds people in a way to see themselves, the world around them, and the people in their world.
I’ve been a therapist, consultant, mentor, sports coach, and more, and yet, all those were things I did. A coach is who I am. And a coach is who I will always be.

The subject of freedom seems to be an appropriate one for this Fourth of July holiday. After all, the freedom to make choices is one of the things that the founders of this country had in mind when they drafted the Declaration of Independence. We are very fortunate indeed to live in a nation dedicated to maintaining our rights of “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
One of iPEC’s foundation principles states that “The greatest freedom is the freedom of choice.” There is a great deal of power in knowing that you always have a choice – but most people don’t recognize all the options that they have. As coaches, we give the gift of freedom to others when we help them learn to make conscious choices – choices that are made without fear, doubt, and other catabolic energy.
This July 4th, take a moment to express your gratitude that you live in a country that allows you the freedom, and the right, to choose how you want to experience your life.
PS> Join us on July 17th in New York for the Power of Choice — a transformational workshop that reveals the 7 Levels of Energy and exactly how they impact your choices!

In a way, it’s funny, that the most important aspect of leadership is great communication, and it’s the least practiced. Leaders, especially those in organizations, are usually experts at their product or service, but lack the true ability to motivate and inspire others to greatness. That lack of ability doesn’t come from a lack of desire, but a lack of coaching skills.
Coaching helps leaders inspire and motivate others in a variety of ways, including: communicating effectively and efficiently, meaning, clearly getting across their message in the shortest period of time; increasing buy-in for a particular project, task, or goal; breaking resistance; creating accountability and the desire to report successes, not problems; developing rapport and relationships; helping to create plans that make sense for all participants; and much, much, more.
And it’s not just the coaching skills that are needed, but the framework, philosophy, and structure behind the skills.
Without making this too much of a commercial, that’s why a lot of leaders are now participating in iPEC’s Life Potential’s Training. This course gives them the foundation not just to coach, but to BE a coach, which makes them even more effective in what they do and how they do it. What’s interesting to me is not just that many leaders are taking this training, but that these people are finally realizing the gap between where they are and where they want to be. It’s very exciting to know that so many people are looking to improve their personal and professional lives, and believe that coaching is a great way to do that.
The original question was related to success, and I want to say something about that: Success is defined by each person, and regardless of the definition, taking a coach-approach at on the job or in the house will ensure that your success is imminent.
