Submitted by the AMAZING Lin Eleoff… As a coach I am always amazed at how uniquely different each and every one of my clients is. And thank goodness for that, otherwise I’d just start Coaching by Numbers (first you do this, second, you do this other thing, etc.). Teaching Brooke’s Self Coaching 101 model is no different. How you teach the model is going to depend, to a great extent, on your client – where she’s at in her experience with thought work and whether she has

If you ask my best friend what she remembers about growing up with me (besides the slumber parties and ice cream) she will say it’s that I always asked why – ever since I was a child, I wanted to know how things worked and why things are
Read more →We talk a lot about “manuals” in training. We mostly talk about the ones we have written for others to follow. We believe if they follow our manuals we will be happy. When they don’t, we feel frustrated. We give all of our emotional power away. But how many of us are also unwantingly following manuals others have for us? And calling it love? It’s not. When you behave the way someone wants you to, for their sake, and the expense of your own, it’s tragic. Not

At what age did you start picking up the signals that you were wrong- wrong inside – for wanting to express yourself or be yourself? I don’t remember the first time it happened to me, but I remember the last. It happened last weekend at a place where I was supposed to be the safest – I shared something about myself and was lovingly made fun

I received several emails thanking me for my work. I was offered a huge opportunity from a major TV network. I had a beautiful day with my extended family. I found an amazing outfit shopping in Charleston. So I cried with joy alone in the shower. I had what

Going home has always been an emotional experience for me. I left New Jersey because I desperately needed to hit the reset button. Some might say I escaped or ran away from my problems. I disagree. In order to heal, grow and change,

Releasing the resistance that prevents them from getting the results they want. One of the things we have been working on is Marketing. I recently released my Coach Marketing Online Course and we are discussing a lot of the concepts I’ve included in the class. One of the points I keep making is that our clients hire us because of what they want for themselves. They

How High Cholesterol Helped Me Write a Book Let’s say we put High Cholesterol in the C line. Humor me (because I can prove it in court, dammit!). C = High Cholesterol What happens next is mind-blowingly, brilliantly, framazingly, I-don’t-believe-I-could-ever-believe-that ca-razy thinking. At least I thought so. What I’ve been putting in the T line has impacted my whole life. Yes, I am being melodramatic, but I

As I was creating it, I kept thinking about the coaches who write me who don’t have any clients. They know how to coach and they are damn good at it. They know how to manage their mind and their fears. But they don’t know how to get clients. And, honestly, they

She went on to say that she hurt her leg during power yoga, and instead of quitting, she remembered a blog post I had written about falling and continuing to run instead of using it as a valid excuse to quit. This inspired her to continue the class, and although she found it painful
