Is Your Life an Intentional and Inspired Experience of Your Own Design?

Coach Training, Life Coaching, Human Wholeness,  

Natalie Benningfield, inviteCHANGE Enrollment Specialist, shares her perspective about engaging with prospective participants for our coach training programs. If you are wondering if becoming a professional coach is for you and whether inviteCHANGE programs are a good fit, Natalie provides a way for you to consider both of those questions from the inside-out!

My life is an intentional and inspired experience of my own design. I easily build rapport and meaningful connection with people, both personally and professionally. I feel ease, spaciousness and contentment in this moment. I welcome each day, relationship and experience with unbridled curiosity and anticipation. Change and transformation are familiar to me and occur naturally without stress. I consistently operate from an inside out perspective as I define what is valuable and what holds significance for my life and my mission in the world. I am at peace with the knowledge that all that all my actions in the world have clarity and are in alignment with my essential self and core values. I am courageous and authentic as I contribute all that I am and all that I know in service to my self, family, co-workers, community and humanity. I have a rich and fulfilling life.

As you read the previous paragraph, what was the inner dialogue YOU experienced?

1. Yes, that IS what I want for life and for a professional coaching practice. How do I know inviteCHANGE is the right fit for me?
2. I see myself in a few of the phrases, and the others….not so much. How do I gain access to the fullness of this empowered life and professional experience?
3. I’ve had a rich professional life experience and now I’m in a life and career transition. I would indeed like for this to be a statement of the next phase of my life, and coaching feels like the right career vehicle. What will move me forward ?
4. Yes, I definitely want the experience contained in these statements, but….I thought we were talking about coaching skills training?
5. Yes! That IS my life now. How might I offer my Vision and Mission in the world as certified professional coach?
6. Well, I intended that for my life and coaching practice, and, I’m recognizing I need some fine tuning and renewal of my vision and a clear path to accomplish this. What are my options?

At inviteCHANGE, we are profoundly grateful for the opportunity of supporting many individuals on the transformative path to both personal and professional wholeness; and, the learning journey into professional coach certification authentically aligned with the code of ethics and coaching core competencies of the International Coach Federation (ICF).

The six statements and queries listed above are a sampler of what we have heard from the current participants in our Certified Professional Coach (CPC) training program as they began their inquiry into coach certification training. The short response to each of the questions is: The ICF accredited Certified Professional Coach program at inviteCHANGE.

The continuation of the conversation begins with a call to awareness that the most effective way to experience transformation—deep and lasting change—is from the inside out.

Life and profession experienced from this empowering inside out viewpoint grants the freedom to consciously choose each action and reaction from the powerful core of your essential vision, values and guiding principles. This transformative approach can be a lifelong journey for each individual human being, and, it is a particularly powerful ‘way of being’ for those called to the life and executive coaching professions.

Having taken this short journey into your own awareness and desires for the future, what are you inspired to do now?
