When it comes to personal growth and personal character, it must be earned, and it doesn’t matter if you’re a coach, mentor, or client. To be able to live and coexist without the stress and the daily problems that drag the psyche, it is necessary to raise self-esteem and self-esteem. The best way to do this is by overcoming adversity and building character. The question is whether you can do it on your own or do you need a coach to help you get over that first hurdle.
Some people get a strong sense of self early on, others don’t. Many go through their lives challenged by life issues and things getting in their way: barriers, problems, self-doubt, or even personal family dilemmas. One observation that we found in our group of experts when studying the personal growth coaching industry is that many of the coaches are worse off than the clients they seek, or the clientele that seeks them with payment in hand.
We have noticed that there are several online trainers that take advantage of social media users; Facebook, Twitter and MySpace to attract customers. It’s becoming quite problematic, we’ve seen questionable people appear online from Canada claiming they can help young teenagers in California for example. In fact, a trainer from Calgary, Canada, had the audacity not to even give her last name on her website or in articles he has written. No one knows exactly who she is or what she’s looking for, which is a terrifying concern these days online for potentially concerned parents, police and politicians.
So we have some advice for anyone looking for a “professional personal trainer” and we’ve been putting together a research paper to show just how bad things are. Some are outright frauds, while others are perhaps unemployed people living at home just trying to pay their rent. However, you should know before you hire them. Here are some tips below:
1. If a trainer does not show his true, full and correct name on his website or articles, be careful.
2. Always ask for at least 5 references and call them.
3. Observe passive-aggressive behavior in online correspondence, how they treat others.
4. Be on the lookout for trainers who claim to be certified or famous geniuses.
5. Look for a trainer who operates in the real world, and not just online; never give out personal information.
6. Watch to make sure the trainer in question is living up to what he is preaching.
7. Beware of clichés, long sales letters on websites and advance payments and all the upfront schemes.
