"What's
Life Coaching all about?
Isn't
it just an American thing?"
That was the opening
gambit from CNN presenter Tony Campion.
As one of the leading Life and Business Coaches in Europe Sean
was invited to a LIVE interview in front of over 150 million viewers
in the CNN studios to discuss all about Life Coaching and the
benefits it has for people and businesses.

"Life and Business
Coaching is all about helping individuals and businesses get
from where they are in their life to where they want to get
to. In the U.S people are more open about asking for help
when they need it." |
| "For us
in the UK and in Europe we adopt the Lone Ranger mentality
- Its my problem, I will deal with it! This attitude is changing
however. Individuals and businesses are realising that help
is good and that it enables you to reach your goals a lot
quicker" |
Sean went on to talk
about his own experiences of helping individuals achieve greater
success in their lives and also the positive impact coaching is
having in the workplace.
He then went on to say "Executives and Senior Managers in the
UK are now seeing the benefits that a Business Coach has to offer.
There is a tangible output that can be measured against the investment
the firm has made"
Sean added "I help individuals and businesses in a variety of
ways. As far as the individual is concerned they come to me for
help with their confidence levels or it maybe that they are lacking
direction and purpose in their life, they may want a better career
but do not know how to go about it or they may just want a reason
for getting out of bed everyday!"
" As for the business
side of things I help Top Execs and Senior/Middle Managers see
the wood for the trees! I get them to think outside the box and
realise their full potential. To question how they are doing things.
I also help them in advanced communication and interpersonal skills
- the list is endless!"
Sean went on to talk about that everyone's definition of success
is different and that people should not compare themselves with
others, just on what their own personal interpretation of success
is.
"If people measure their own success by how happy they are then
that is great. If someone wants to arrive at work at 9 and leave
at exactly 5 and that's what they want to do and they are happy
with that - who am I to tell anyone what their definition of success
is"
"On the other hand someone may class success as how many possessions
they have"
"Whilst every definition of success has it's pros and cons you
should only measure success against your own definition not what
parents, friends or society as a whole says what it should be!"
"I class myself as a success Tony. My definition of success is
to go to bed at night and not have any regrets about the day.
It is to help at least one person a day achieve greater success
in what they do"
"Your definition will be different to mine!
| "But
surely you must have to go over the same solutions time and
time again Sean? Why shouldn't I just go down the pub and
ask my friends for advice?"
Tony Campion was playing devils
advocate!
|
|
"The beauty of my job
is that you come in contact with different types of people everyday
Tony. Every person is different and if you gave everyone the same
advice and solutions it would not be very personal at all - you
might as well read a book!"
"Because of their different backgrounds, beliefs, experiences
and attitudes to life you invariable find that no two solutions
are the same. I might get the same problem arise but due to all
of the different variables that make people what they are, I hardly
ever get the same solution twice!"
"People are different, their problems are different and every
solution is different as well"
Sean and Tony discussed the future of Life Coaching and Sean's
thoughts about where it will head in the future.
To close that segment Tony asked "Thanks for letting us have your
thoughts about the future of Life Coaching, do you think the market
will become saturated with anyone who wants to become a life coach
becoming one?
Sean replied "There is no doubt in my mind Tony that a lot of
people will jump on the bandwagon. They may see it as the next
big thing and chase the money instead of having a genuine interest
in helping people and businesses improve the quality of their
lives."
"I get offers every single day from people who want me to train
and mentor them as Life Coaches. It is flattering - I must be
doing something right!" Sean said with a rye smile on his face.
"I turn down as many people as I take on to train them as a Life
Coach as you have got to be in this for the right reasons. Clients
are not stupid and they will suss out a poor Life Coach within
seconds of their first session"
"To make it as a successful Life Coach you have to be outstanding.
Good will just not cut the mustard!"
