Life Potentials Brings Life Coaching Skills to All... A Pleasantly Surprising Launch!

Six months of a near full-time team effort is what it took to create the Life Potentials Training from what was once Module 1 (from our full coach training program).

I'll be honest, I thought the Life Potentials Training was really going to be something special, but I had no idea that the training would be so much more than I expected, and in so many ways. The experiences, breakthroughs, and excitement were extraordinary, and the tons of testimonials we received were confirmation of something that we had only dreamed of. From the bottom of my heart, thanks to the iPEC team who helped put the training together, and thanks to everyone who participated in its inauguration.

When creating the Life Potentials Training, there was a huge challenge that we were excited about facing. Because this program is no longer geared only to those who want to become professional coaches, we realized that we needed to meet the goals of four separate groups.

First, there were small business owners, entrepreneurs, managers and other leaders. This group needed to know that they could go back to work on Monday with a new perspective, as well as with powerful and practical skills they could use immediately. They got all that and more.

The second group were those people who were looking for a new way of living, or more specifically, a new way of "being" in the world. They certainly received what they were looking for.

The third group were, of course, those going on to the rest of our training to become Certified Professional Core Energy Coaches. The experiences of this group excited me the most. From what I observed, the students are more prepared than ever in our history. This is because they not only know great skills and tools, but they also know themselves, and so, they have the foundation they need to be who they truly can be as a professional coach, and more importantly, as a leader in their world.

And the fourth group were guests of the first three groups. We decided that we'd open up the training to guests of enrollees, so that those guests could share the experiences of those who brought them. Unexpectedly, many of those guests enrolled in the rest of the training. And some don't even care about becoming a coach! They just want to bring more and more potential to their lives and the lives of others.

So we met our greatest challenge, which was to fulfill so many different agendas, and the feedback from people in each of those groups told us that participants felt as if the course was created just for them. I guess the thing that is most exciting about the LPT, however, isn't what happened in the several trainings that we've presented so far around the country, it's what will happen once the world knows about it. I'm looking forward to bringing "potential" to everyone.

Bruce, it was an honor and privilege to work on developing Life Potentials Training with you and the team. After months of working on it, it was an amazing experience to see it "go live" and to literally watch people change over the course of the three day weekend. It was more powerful and special than I could have even imagined - and you're right - I can't wait to share it with many, many more people!
