An Inspiring Leader & Mentor: Alan Cohen

Kelli Richards October 21, 2013

As a coach and a mentor myself, I think it is very important to have your own coaches and mentors in life and in business. I’ve been privileged to have a mentor whom I don’t know if I could grow my business or career without. Alan Cohen has written about 24 bestselling self-help and personal development books, and he is my mentor in my coaching practice.

Working with this powerhouse has allowed me to stand on the shoulders of giants and accelerate the success of my own business in ways that are too numerable to mention. I work with Alan every day, and I learn new things from him every day. I have been trained and coached in his coaching methodology and he just brings so much vibrancy to my life and so much substance to my work. In fact, I am one of only a handful of coaches invited to be part of Alan’s Foundation for Holistic Life Coaching.

Alan is best known for being a contributing author to the New York Times #1 bestselling series Chicken Soup for the Soul. He has also authored the bestselling books The Dragon Doesn’t Live Here Anymore, and the classic Are You as Happy as Your Dog.

His newest book, Enough Already, gives readers the tools to gain a new perspective about what is present in life and see the many opportunities in somewhat mundane situations. This book gave me a refreshing look at all of the possibilities in my life, and I would recommend it to anyone who is still searching for ways to be present in their daily lives.

Alan has a wisdom and vision of personal and professional growth that I find truly inspiring. He brings lessons of encouragement and empowerment to each of the people he works with.

“Do not wait until all the conditions are perfect for you to begin. Beginning makes the conditions perfect.”

It’s ideas like this that have formed much of my own coaching practice and formed the trajectory of growth in both my personal and professional life.

My clients directly benefit from my having worked with Alan on a daily basis. I encourage everyone to seek out a powerful mentor to coach your own success and your own progress. I feel privileged to know and work with Alan Cohen and I want to bring that success to you as well.

Until next time,

3 Best Practices for Working with a Coach

Kelli Richards July 15, 2011

#1. Find the RIGHT Coach.

This is an easy task to throw out there and probably one of the toughest decisions we can make at any given time. The notion that the right teacher will show up at the right time in our lives is only partly true. We have to actively participate in our search with a clear picture of what we want in order to attract the right people, no matter what role they are to play in our lives – and also to be open to them when they appear. Having a crystal clear image of what you need in a coach – what their area of expertise is, how they resonate with who you are & your vision, and how they work with their clients are all vital ingredients in your process. And while it’s important to check references or take referrals from colleagues you trust or leaders in your arena, don’t underestimate your gut when it comes to this one. If your best instincts are that someone is right – or wrong – for you, that’s a really important part of your personal, internal guidance system and should not to be aside. The right coaching relationship can be hugely impactful.

#2. Set your Goals about the Coaching Process.

Once you’re working with the right coach, be sure to be as transparent with them about what you WANT from the process as possible. Here are the ABCs to remember:

*Absolutely define your most important work and inspirations that you’ve created so far, so your coach can know who you are, and what your value system is

*Benchmarks and clear objectives should be defined as early as possible so you both have a clear path toward your goals, and finally

*Create a set of priorities that will clarify and focus your efforts and maximize your coaching time together.

#3. What would it take to become fearless?

Nobody goes into coaching because they want to stand still. Once you’ve set your goals, ultimately you’ll want to define — and then BECOME fearless about reaching them. Fearless people not only live amazing lives and achieve great heights; fearless people take on projects that the rest of us would run from. They challenge the status quo and create change. One of the key goals of working with a coach is to define that deepest desire or goal you have and then to outline a plan that either rises above or sidesteps the roadblocks and fears that get in your way. And once you’ve done all of that, one of the most important questions to ask yourself is, What would it take to become fearless about this project, right now?

Here are my personal coaching manifestations and intentions for each of you. Feel free to use this as an affirmative dialogue to have with yourself as you set about to find the right coach for your life and work, right now. If you’d like to inquire about working with me, personally, please visit my page on Coaching under Services on my web site at www.allaccessgroup.com or simply reach out to me directly at info@AllAccessGroup.com

You will have balance in your life. You will manage your time and energies so that you run your business, your projects, and your life without selling out or losing your way. You will discover the Power of Affiliation and Collaboration. You will step outside your comfort zone and take on projects that you once considered impossible. You will get past limiting beliefs, states of mind and behaviors that have been holding you back. You will feel true satisfaction and fulfillment that will spill over into all areas of your life. You will create a momentum for your work and life that is unstoppable. You will have more balance and energy.

An Intimate “Fireside Chat” with Million-Dollar Coach and Author, Alan Cohen

Kelli Richards July 10, 2011

This is an excerpt of Kelli’s Q&A with Million-Dollar Coach and Author, Alan Cohen. Alan Cohen is a respected keynoter and seminar leader for professional meetings in the fields of personal growth, inspiration, holistic health, human relations, and achievement of a work/life balance. He is also the author of 24 popular inspirational books and CD’s, including the best-selling The Dragon Doesn’t Live Here Anymore, the award-winning A Deep Breath of Life.

His work has been featured on Oprah.com and in USA Today and The Washington Post. Alan’s radio program Get Real is broadcast weekly on Hay House Radio, and his monthly column From the Heart is featured in magazines internationally. (To hear this entire interview, please visit the Resources Page on my Website.)

Kelli: Welcome Alan! Talk to us, if you will, about All About U., which has been described as a university without walls, dedicated to higher learning for the higher self.

Alan Cohen: It’s a course that I’ve developed for people who would like to grow from the inside out. It’s an online course with personal coaching and teleseminars that invites people to look within to tell the truth about where their passion is and where their vision is and what would make their life worth living and what would make you want to get up every morning and want to go to work. It’s really very intensive and yet very gentle and loving course that calls people to step into their own shoes and walk in their own magnificence. It’s a lofty goal, but I wouldn’t settle for anything less.

Kelli: Alan, Let’s talk about that work and how you support other coaches to clarify their purpose, their goals, and their direction and niche.

Alan Cohen: I love coaching because it’s a really fast way to make progress. When I work with coaches, I find that each one has a unique passion, talent, interest and vision. Half of the game of becoming a coach is telling the truth and getting in touch with where your unique path lives… for you, you’re an expert and master in connecting people and in the media – nobody else does that like you. We have another guy in one program, who has had difficulty with bipolar, so he focuses on coaching bipolar people. There are people focused on relationships. The process of becoming a coach is the same as being coached, you have to find that sweet spot of where your joy and your passion live, and after that, doors begin to open.

Kelli: For coaches, finding the right clients and marketing effectively is always a priority. Could you give one or two insights on how coaches attract clients who are in alignment with their vision, skill, and interests?

Alan Cohen: Well, the first step is being very clear on the clientele you desire. You can always tell what you believe by what you’re getting. So if people either aren’t getting clients or are getting clients who don’t want to pay or are getting clients they don’t like or who don’t show up, it usually points to a call for clarity on your own vision. That’s why I work with coaches so intensively to be very clear on who do you want to coach.
