For Coaches Ready to Turn Their Calling into Their Career

Over the past twenty-plus years that I’ve been a coach and been a client of coaches, I’ve met a lot of them. While they were all unique in their own way they also shared one common denominator — they wanted to make a significant difference with their clients.  Many, I’d even say most, wanted to turn their calling into their career — they wanted what they did for their livelihood to be consistent with their life purpose, that deep calling to have their life matter.

Within a year or two of founding Life On Purpose Institute in 1996, my wife, Ann, and I realized that we had a “tiger by the tail,” in that the subject of life purpose was a universal one with more people wondering how they could go about becoming clear about their personal life purpose than we could ever hope to serve.  So, in 1998 we started training others as Life On Purpose Coaches for the simple reason that it was an action consistent with our corporate vision to be a catalyst for creating a world on purpose.

Whether you are a life coach with many years of experience, or a fairly new coach still learning how to be both effective and successful at your chosen profession, or even if you’re just someone who is curious about what it might take to become a life coach, we’re here to help.  We realize that choosing a profession is not an easy task, and perhaps choosing to be a life coach is even more daunting because there are so many different forms of coaching available, and it’s a relatively new field that many people still don’t understand.

We also realize that Life On Purpose Coaching isn’t for everyone, and that’s the type of coaches we train. Of course, you may elect to add Life On Purpose Coaching to your existing coaching practice, or you may decide it would be a useful and valuable addition to your other profession, whether it’s counseling, ministry, as a psychotherapist, or other profession.

So, let’s take a look together to see if being a Life On Purpose Coach might be your chosen way to have your calling be your career.

Start with these Two Simple Steps

  1.

Become a Citizen of Who-ville

Written on May 4, 2012 by in Purposeful Ponderings

This past March 2nd was Dr. Seuss’s birthday. He would have been 108 years old this year.  So, I thought it appropriate to spend a little time reading one of my favorite Dr. Seuss’s books — Horton Hears a Who.  After all, I’ve been feeling a little like a citizen from Who-ville lately, so I…

Being coached by Brad  through the Life on Purpose process has truly been life-changing. Not only did he help me to gain crystal clarity about my life purpose, he helped me to uncover what had been holding me back for much of my life. Through the coaching, I became clear about what was the next step that I wanted to take in my life.

My life has gotten better in many ways as a result of the coaching: the major anxiety that I experienced around my work is a thing of the past – I learned why I was experiencing this anxiety, and then how to overcome it and I can’t believe how effective it was.

I have been able to establish a habit of taking daily time for myself to reconnect with what’s truly important – this is something that I had tried and failed to do for 10 years beforehand, so I am so happy to have been able to achieve this.

I have been experiencing so many more feelings of joy, happiness and abundance since the programme, and life is just so much better. From Jonathan Dudley — a 30 year old IT Professional (turning Life Coach).

“I had always felt like I was not living up to my potential and that there was something more to life- something more I “should be doing”. What I discovered was that what I thought my life purpose was actually my parents/culture’s idea of what I should be- not mine! This was transformational and allowed me to finally decide for myself, based on my own passions, my true purpose. My Divine Purpose is now conscious and drives all decisions and choices I make in my everyday life.” Julie Chapman after clarifying her life purpose through the On Purpose Program at her spiritual center.

“I am just so delighted with everything you, this course, and the Life on Purpose Institute has given/provided to me.  Thank you, SO very, very much.

“I have finished working through your book. It has been a very enjoyable and revealing process. My life on purpose is a life of freedom rooted in wholeness, beauty, truth, order and love. A life of worship, inspired action and full self-expression.

I was especially excited when you spoke about the Purposeful Project.  Wow, what a great idea!  How to get people out in the world being their true, serviceful selves.  I say serviceful because I have an inkling that even if someone doesn’t consider their life purpose to be one of service, or see that as a value of theirs, I don’t see how anyone couldn’t be of service to the world if they are living their purpose out loud.” Peggy Vervalin who clarified her life purpose in Living the Fulfilled Life teleclass.

Immediately I got my final wording sorted it ‘clicked’ it fits like a glove. I have such clarity, it has been great for examining my behaviors and how I relate to others, and for helping me to make quality decisions. I had so many synchronicities in the following days after clarifying my life purpose and continue to do so. A sure sign that I am on my path and that is very fulfilling, even without taking into account my planned purpose projects.

My self-esteem has received a huge boost. I am delighted that I committed and persevered. And one of the lessons God has been bringing to my attention is that ‘commitment and perseverance bring their own reward, a reward that can come no other way’. Which will stand me in good stead as I live out this purpose.

I look at my life purpose and it is truly the essence of me, and the essence of the possibilities I see for others and the world we live in.” Jayne from the United Kingdom

I’m Jude Eastman in Virginia.  I’m a reading specialist and teacher.  I’m also a life and soul coachJudeeastman.

My original Life on Purpose work in 2006-2007 helped me figure out who I was and wanted to BE after losing my parents and my marriage.  I am happy to say that I realized I am  the only one who has the power to decide my place in the world or my worth and I’m pretty dog gone priceless!  After that I soared -completing a master degree, taking a new job position in my teaching career, and completing coach training.

Recently I was ready to push forward in my second profession as a coach.  The Staying on Purpose group helped me accomplish what I’ve been talking about for three years!  I now have my first coaching workshop on the books, conducted a conference call, picked up some new technology skills.  I found out that doing new things doesn’t have to be stressful, but can be fun and I’m in control of that!

Thanks Brad for keeping me motivated and accountable  in such a heart felt way that was both challenging and safe at the same time!
