 Coaching from the Inside-Out is a three day coaching masterclass, providing those of us who want to touch and transform lives with the opportunity to take a deep dive into what it takes to unleash the human potential. We'll be exploring why transformative coaching works so powerfully, what actually goes on during a session or intensive, and how the same principles that lead to profound personal transformation can shoot you forward or hold you back in building your practice.
This is the last public coach training I will be offering until 2016, and it will serve as both a comprehensive foundation for doing principles-based work with others and an ongoing community to support and guide you as you do. To join us and learn more, click here.

If you missed parts one and two of this tip, you can read them in their entirety here and here. So far in this tip, we've spoken about how our level of understanding of who we are, what life is, and how it works - i.e. our "grounding", underpins our every experience of life, including why and how we feel what we feel and do what we do. To conclude, I want to share one of the most practical and yet for me most subtle aspects of this understanding - how the mind works to bring us moment by moment wisdom, fresh thinking, and insight into whatever we are working on in our lives... 3. Tapping in to the wisdom within For most of my adult life, I spent my days attempting to deliberately create better and better circumstances through a combination of goal setting, creative visualization, and bloody-minded determination and hard work. While I became successful by most measures, I also wreaked havoc on my health and well-being, at one point attempting to avoid going to hospital after a possible stroke because I was too busy and had a plane to catch. Although it wasn't a stroke and all turned out well, it was a wake up call that really called into question my level of understanding of the inside-out nature of well-being. Over the next two years, I backed off working so hard on creating what I thought I needed to be OK and focused instead on enjoying what I had and seeing what life would present me with next. I adopted a largely hands-off attitude towards outcomes that worked wonderfully well with one small caveat - I no longer felt I could coach my clients about their outcomes either. At best, this didn't seem to be a problem, as the increase in well-being from connecting with their true nature kept people coming through the door, but at worst, I began to feel a bit of a fraud. "I don't want to be a coach anymore," I thought to myself, "if the best I have to offer is 'Come to me with your biggest hopes and dreams and I'll help you not care if you never achieve them!'" The only thing I knew to do was to shift my attention off the problem as best I could and hope an insight would be forthcoming. Fortunately in this case, it was - an insight into how to handle outcomes and challenges through a deeper understanding of how the mind works. What I saw was that when our thinking settles down, the personal mind works more like a modem than a DVR. While an overly busy mind is continually replaying a sort of "greatest hits" of our past and future failures and successes, a quiet mind is receptive to both a deeper wisdom and a kind of "in the moment" common sense. Here's how I wrote about it in The Inside-Out Revolution:
Rather than having to choose whether to obsess over outcomes or attempt to ignore them completely, I realized that when we are online - settled down in our thinking and open to the infinite creative potential of Thought - we can simply sit with an outcome or challenge until the deeper mind begins to generate fresh new thinking into whatever it is we are working on. Like holding a live butterfly in your hand, soft enough to ensure its safety but tightly enough to prevent it from flying away, it is possible to direct the river of insights in a particular direction simply by holding that direction lightly in mind and waiting quietly for a flow of fresh thinking to begin. In visual terms, we make the transition from this: /__ to this: \__ to this: |__ While it's incredibly useful to know what to do when I don't know what to do, I've been finding an unexpected bonus to this new understanding of how the mind works. When I don't have a particular outcome or challenge I'm working on, the "modem" of my settled down personal mind syncs up with a deeper wisdom and delivers insights to me that enhance my own relationship with life, almost like a doctor who both diagnoses and delivers the cure to what ails me without my having to involve myself in the process at all. I wish you well in your own explorations, and look forward to further exploring this understanding with you in the weeks and months to come! With all my love,
PS - Have you seen the new Transformative Coaches Cafe?  We've just gone live with our new resource community for coaches, leaders, and helping professionals who want to work with their ciients and communities in the inside-out understanding! Beginning on the 16th of October, I'll be hosting a monthly call exculsively for members of the cafe that will focus on both the art and business of coaching from the inside out. We'll explore ways of working with "difficult" clients, what it is to be a transformative coach and leader in the "real world", and how to create a sustainable practice or business that's deeply fulfilling personally, financially, and at every level of the game. Once we're fully up and running in the new year, we'll also be adding in additional calls and video sessions with other members of the community each month. To get a sneak preview of this brand-new mentoring resource, click here.  For now, the only way to become a member of the cafe is to attend this weekend's Coaching from the Inside-Out masterclass as a live or virtual student. If you have any questions about whether this program will be suitable for you, please contact Sara Murre, our Director of Community Engagement. |

"There was something about this event that was simply "magical". I have attended Supercoach Academy twice and have listened to and read so much of Michael Neill's words of wisdom, that before the event, I truly doubted that I would hear anything "new". Yet, much to my surprise, I had insight after insight and it was one of the most inspirational trainings that I have ever attended."
