Anyone interested in free life coaching sessions? (Life Coach Student)

I'm currently enrolled in the Certified Coach Program with The Life Coach School (Brooke Castillo). As a part of my certification process and requirements, I am offering free life coaching sessions. Because my friends and groups on MFP have been such a big part of my success and support on my own journey (in addition to my own life coach!), I wanted to offer these free sessions to MFP users, too. There are so many wonderful people in this community and I'm hoping to give back in this way. These sessions can be on whatever topic you'd like to be coached on: goals, weight loss, drinking less, habit building, etc. I'm accepting 10 new clients and offering up to five 30 minute sessions for each client. These are totally free - no strings attached. If you're interested, please either reply below and I'll friend request and message you or feel free to friend and message me directly!

    What an awesome offer for you to make. Helps you accomplish what you need to with your certification and gives someone great assistance for something most of us couldn't afford. I would definitely be interested in this. Thank you so much. Evelyn

    I would be interested to have some help in my journey to bring more mindfulness back into my life, especially around eating and drinking(alcohol).

    Hello all!

    I’ve sent everyone messages but I’m realizing I think we may have to be friends first for you to see them. Please let me know if I need to resend you the info! :)@SuperMotivated56 @alenelucero8 @3rdtimelosesit @michelle1173 @ChristyB1257 @msdramatic @inmytree63 @surajketan

    Also, I’ve had some great feedback and wanted to share a few things about these free sessions I’m offering.

    You may be wondering: what is life coaching? First, I’ll tell you what it’s not: This is not therapy. I’m not here to judge you or tell you what to do. Our sessions are 100% judgement-free zones. We will only be talking about what you want to discuss: your goals for yourself, changes you want to make, NOT what I or anyone else thinks you should do. You will be 100% in control of what we talk about and our sessions will be one-on-one coaching (not group coaching) and remain confidential and anonymous. I can use your username or a pseudonym or simply “anonymous” for our sessions. No need to give your real name if you don’t want to.

    If you just want to sign up once and see if it’s a good fit, please do! There’s no requirement to sign up for more than one session.

    If you prefer not to use the Calendly page (I provide the link in the direct message to you) I have set up to schedule, you can just visit that site to choose a date(s) and then message me direct here on MFP the session you’d like and I’ll message you back a zoom link (audio only and I can provide dial-in options so it’s just like a phone call if you want). That way there’s no contact info required for the Calendly sign up.

    Please give life coaching a shot. It has made all the difference for me and I would love to give this gift to you!

    I would love to work with you and take advantage of your kind offer. I feel as though I am finally, after 5 years of casting about, on the path to health and happiness once again. However I do need all the encouragement and help I can get! Thanks again for your offer and I wish you great success in your certification program!

    Thank you @michelle1173 ! I resent the message. :)

    @driheataz and @cindy4sons I sent you both friend requests. As soon as I see them accepted, I'll send you a message with the scheduling link.

    Looking forward to working with you all!

    I would love this. This is so awesome that you are providing this at no cost. I am new to this. Im not sure how it all works. Trying to figure it out.

    Thank you for the replies! I am looking forward to coaching with everyone who has signed up so far!

    @JessiBelleW and @MomOfGreatFaith I've sent the scheduling link to you both but we have to have confirmed friend requests in order for those messages to go through so please let me know if you want me to resend those messages (I'm not sure of the timing with the friend requests). Please feel welcome to reply here with any questions you may have!

    Is there anyone else who has not received the messages I've sent/re-sent with the scheduling link? Please reply here or direct message me if we are MFP friends. Or, send me a friend request and I'll send you the scheduling link!

    Have a great week everyone!

    I am really enjoying coaching with many of you! :) I still have room for a couple more clients and have changed my schedule so I can free up more time slots for coaching. The offer for up to 5 free 30-minute sessions with me will be ending in September, so please friend and message me if you're interested! Or, just reply here and I'll friend you and once you accept the request I will message you with the scheduling link.

    Weekly sessions are encouraged so we can build on the progress you make with each session - but bi-weekly is OK, too! Just plan accordingly so you can book all 5 sessions (if desired) before September 30th.

    Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

    I have a counselor is a life coach a lot different?
  • makattack220
    makattack220 Posts: 219 Member
    @kathygouldsmith1 Great question! Without knowing more about your counselor, I would say that yes it is likely we would have a different approach and different tools to offer. In life coaching, we use mindset awareness paired with tools and concepts to create the results you desire in your life. I welcome you to schedule a consultation with me to see if life coaching is a good fit for you. If you're interested, just send me a friend request and I'll message you the scheduling link!
