iGCLC™- Certified SMART Goals Coach

This is without doubt the single most important part of achieving absolutely anything at all, doing it quickly and doing it efficiently . And it's such a simple concept that its amazing how few people really KNOW what it is that they want in life. In this lecture Matt discussed the concept of Knowledge vs belief where goals are concerned.

In this part we are going to look at the concept of Taking Action.. And towards the end of this lecture I am going to drop something on you which I make no apology for whatsoever, which might just shift your perception of things a little. So lets take a look ……..

How powerful would it be if you could meet with people and simply know whether your purpose was aligned with theirs whether they got what it was you were saying, And whether or not your were in tune with them. Sensory Acuity is the skill that enables you to do this and in this lecture matt discusses the topic in more detail

In this lecture Matt discussed the advice that you probably want to be giving your clients if you are working as a coach or therapist would be to expect to need to use your flexibility and look forward to it. knowing you may have to re route sometimes, accepting it now and accepting that it is nothing to fear, will empower you as you head towards your goal.

To become the type of person you want to be, and to achieve the sorts of things you are wanting to achieve You are going to need to become that person now because it is that type of person that gets what it is you want. In this lecture Matt discusses the concept of excellence and how important it is for goal achievement.

The chances are as a newcomer to SMART goals, you are going to need to get a LOT more specific about your goal to communicate that to your unconscious mind. Remember your unconscious mind is the goal getter, and your conscious mind is your goal setter. So consciously, you need to communicate your intent to your unconscious mind so that it knows what to deliver up for you.

When we actually float out to that time when we have just achieved our goal, we do a couple of things. First of all, the unconscious mind doesn’t differentiate between made up images and real experiences, so the physiology in that moment is the same as if you were actually there. In this Lecture Matt discusses the importance of doing this

In this lecture we are going to look at how to take a top level goal and turn it into something really specific and in doing so we will further increase our chances of completing the goal successfully.

In this lecture I want to share with you and important topic about responsibility for your goal, ownership of the goal and using the skills and resources of others to achieve your goal. Remember you can utilise the skillset of others and still remain responsible

In this session we are going to go a little deeper into the concept of why you even want to achieve your goal in the first place. And its really important that you know this clearly and that you understand the real reasons reasons for having the goal that you are setting.

In this lecture we are going to go and look in a little more detail at the time frame that you set for your goal and why it is so important. Now to recap on this, if you don’t know where you are going you are to going to get there and that includes the by when date.

How are you going to know you are hitting your goal? How do you know its happening? How will you know that you are succeeding.. Well first of all it is worth mentioning that at many levels, if you have set your goal correctly all you really need to do is trust your unconscious mind to take care of it.

In this lecture I want to dive a little deeper into keeping your goals measurable because I think as a coach, this is something that you want to really get across to your clients ok, because for a great deal of their time, you are not going to be with them so we need to be sure that they understand the concept of progress.

To reach a goal there are a lot of things that need to come together before that system delivers up the result that you are after. And often times… we are told that we need to break a big goal down into smaller component parts.

What you are going to introduce your clients to and implement in your own life is keeping a journal, however I am not talking about a journal in the typical sense of the word. By that I mean I am not referring to a detailed daily account of what happens in your life, rather. Your journal entries should be the downloading of information and ideas from your unconscious mind.

This is something I started doing a few years ago and its stuck and its what has helped me to get a whole load of my goals achieved in good time and without burning out. And it goes against a lot of things you may have heard

In this session I want to share with you something that I picked up from Steven Coveys 7 habits of highly effective people and has really helped me in determining what is important and what isn’t and how to measure the effectiveness of my efforts so I guess in this lecture we are beginning to cross over into action a little however, what you will find from doing this process is that you will very quickly get a feel for what is working and what isn’t

In this lecture we look at the A of the smart model which actually stands for a number of things and I tend to mix these up based on my intuition when I am working with other people so if you are working as a client then you can do the same.

I want to share with you now Is a bit of a stretch for most people, and I truly believe it is how you manifest your goals in the quickest way possible.

In my opinion a lot of trainers and coaches get this principal wrong ok .. as they love nothing more than to drum into you that anything is possible and so on and because anything is possible everything is realistic. Well that simply isn’t true

In this lecture we are going to look into the concept that a SMART goal needs to be timed. That is that there needs to be a definite time for completion or achievement of that goal.

In the coming lectures we are going to be delving into what we refer to in NLP as the Keys to an achievable outcome. Now these Keys have come about after extensive research and study into the principals and attitudes adopted by people that consistently achieve their goals.

Stating a goal in the positive comes down to motivation really , and , if you like the ‘why’ of what you have set as a goal. Why is it that you have this goal?

Moving on to the next key key number 2 - Specify present situation. Now part of successful goal setting and achievement is not only knowing where you want to get but also knowing where are currently. This is really important in determining whether or not a goal is realistic or not.

When you use S.M.A.R.T goals you engage every fibre of your being and practically ensure that you will achieve those goals.So concentrate on being clear about what it is you want.

The question that you will want to be asking yourself and indeed any client that you are working with. ‘How will I know that I am achieving my goal, or have achieved my goal” what evidence will there be along the way, and when you have achieved your goal that will make it absolutely undeniable

When we talk about congruency, we are referring to the physiology that accompanies our externalised dreams or goals. So what I mean by that is, does the physiology that you are communicating outwardly match the language that you are using,

Welcome to this lecture on the next key in the Keys to an achievable outcome ‘Is you goal self initiated or self maintained. And this is so very important when you are seeking goals

This key requires you to run out in time and try on the achievement of your goal. Only this time, we are approaching the outcome or goal in the context of meaning. Does the goal you have and the picture of it in your mind tick all of the correct boxes

In this lecture we are going to look at the next key in the list of keys to an achievable outcome and that is to identify the resources that are needed.

Now there are many different types of resources, for example time, money, material things like equipment, software, machinery etc and there are less tangible items as well such as a positive attitude, confidence, creativity and so on..

This is a big concept ok… ecology is the study of consequences really. And links also to the cause and effect equation and responsibility.

Despite learning about the cause and effect equation there are still some people who refuse to accept responsibility for their results. In this brief lesson we address this issue.

In this lecture Matt discusses the concept of a welcome pack and what you might include in it when you onboard a new client

In this lecture Matt goes through a sample welcome letter and explains why the items listed are contained within. There is a sample available also

In this lecture we go through a brief set of questions for understanding our clients better

Whenever you are working with a client it is a good idea to set out what everyone is expecting from the relationship. In this lecture Matt investigates the items that you would ideal cover as a minimum in your coaching agreements

Part of being a well respected coach requires a level of integrity. If you are working in conflict with your values then it becomes tricky. In this lecture we look at the importance of a code of conduct

In this lecture we explore the key elements that need to be present if you  are to have success coaching others and why they are important
