   How did you become a life coach? What is the criteria?

6. on 13 Aug 2009 at 3:35 pm6Janie Behr

   Hi Patti,

   Becoming a certified life coach has been a process. I was a therapist for 20 years and after being diagnosed with glaucoma found it necessary to work from home. I found as much information as possible about coaching. I hired my own life coach and was fortunate to attend a Martha Beck training in Phoenix Arizona. I also attended a Byron Katie training which gave me the knowledge necessary to know the difference between being a coach and a therapist.
   I loved the idea of coaching and focusing on the future instead of the past. My style of coaching is to ask the client, where are you today, where do you want to be and then help them develop a plan to get where they want to be.
   keep in touch.

   Hi Janie,
   How do you deal w/a co-worker who has hurt your feelings really bad & knows they did?? Doesn’t bother to apologize???

   Kathy,

   Always take the high road!

   Remember, you are not a reflection of what someone else thinks about you. A difficult situation usually arises when two people are reacting to each others’ comments or actions. Step back, and respond rather than react. Don’t give your power away to anyone. What she said or did is a direct reflection of her, not you.
   She is the one who isn’t sleeping at night, while you have handled yourself with dignity and respect.

   Way to go!

    Janie -

    My parents have been divorced for 32 years and my mom is STILL badmouthing my dad to me. Short of telling her off and hurting her feelings, how can I tell her that I’m sick and tired of it?

    Thank you for your feedback!

    Robin,

    Always take the “high road”. You don’t have to buy into what your mom says. Remember, just because she says something doesn’t mean you agree. Let your mom twirl in her resentment and remain neutral. It will drive her crazy if you don’t respond.

    sorry it took me so long to respond. I have been recovering from pneumonia. You can preorder the book on my website for 15% discount. The book will be released February 1, 2010.

    Divorce is difficult for everyone in the family. Ask your Mom in a kind and understanding voice that you understand how she feels but those are not your feelings and you really don’t want to be in the middle. When or if she brings it up again….remind her you don’t want to be in the middle and you would appreciat eif she would respect your feelings.

    Remind her that there are Divorce groups, coaches, therapists who will help her alot more than you can.

    Hopefully, she will understand but either way you will feel better.

    P.S. Sorry it took me so long to reply…I have been recovering from pneumonia.

    Janie,
    What advice would you give to somebody who feels they have lost all momentum? I am 22 years old and lost my job a year ago. As a result i’ve gained weight and lost motivation. I still have high goals, however, the idea of attaining them doesn’t seem as realistic as they did last year and either way it feels like i’m only killing time. What’s the best way to transition back to where I want to be?

    I am sorry it took me so long to answer. I recently broke my fingers and it has been difficult to type.

    Change begets change…find a catalyst such as exercise, find a new place to hang out, call an o ld friend, buy new shoes, go for a walk, hire a trainer even if it is just once a month.

    It is very hard to change the cycle of our minds and spirits, but now impossible. Keep up the good work…its great that you reached out to ask the question.
    Keep in touch.

    Janie
