How To Hire A Life/Business Coach

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

Meet Derrick Sweet. He is the Executive Director and Founder of the so-called “Certified Coaches Federation”. According to Sweet, the longer and more detailed a coach training program, the more diluted the education you receive. Therefore, if you want to by-pass the hefty tuition and the extensive hours of work required to become a real coach, you can pay Sweet $979, attend a two-day seminar, and get a fancy piece of paper at the end that claims you are a “certified” coach.

There are literally thousands of people running around today claiming to be coaches who have absolutely no clue what they are talking about. Sure, they know how to charge you plenty of money to hold you accountable for your written goals, but if you want any help removing the obstacles that stand in your way of obtaining those goals, you’d better look elsewhere.

Unlike many people are lead to believe by companies like Sweet’s, coaching is not about pep-talks and inspiration. It’s about doing serious internal work to tear apart the limiting beliefs, false assumptions, false interpretations, and inner demons that are really holding your clients back. Once you are able to help them dismantle the limitations they have built for themselves, only then can you forward them onto setting and achieving their goals. Mastering the skills to do that internal work takes longer than a two-day weekend.

St. John’s Wort Can Help With Depression

Saturday, November 1st, 2008

Rick Nauert, Ph.D., over at PsychCentral.com recently reported the herbal extract St. John’s Wort, “…is effective in treating some types of major depression according to a new Cochrane Systematic Review.”

Lead researcher Klaus Linde states, “Overall, we found that the St. John’s wort extracts tested in the trials were superior to placebos and as effective as standard antidepressants, with fewer side effects.”

To come to that conclusion, Linde and his staff reviewed 29 trials with 5,489 patients exhibiting signs of major depression. The natural plant extract proved to be just as effective as synthetic drugs and had the added benefit of minimal adverse effects, which meant less people dropped out of the trial.

This is further proof that God created everything and, as such, works through His creation to bring about the healing of man.

If only we could finally accept that.

The Rest of the Story.
