Hello, Magnificent Coaches!

This week’s K-Cast is very deep – and I want to thank Nichole Santoro for bringing these questions to the forefront. Her self-penned byline is this: "Go Mommy! Nichole Santoro is a Life Coach & Career Coach who inspires working moms to design rewarding family-friendly careers and work-life balance." Her Web site is: www.careersalon.com.

The questions for this week are:

• You've recommended reading of Ask & It Is Given, by Esther and Jerry Hicks. The equation that stood out for me from that book is: DESIRE + BELIEF + STRONG EMOTION = MANIFESTATION. If you are at liberty to share, what client experience comes to mind when you think of the greatest vibrational shift - or shift in that client's beliefs – that facilitated what others might have perceived as an "unlikely" occurrence or at best, good ol' fashioned luck/coincidence.
• What kinds of exercises have seemed to work really well for your clients to strengthen their beliefs? For examples, writing daily affirmations, designing a collage board with pictures of desired states, simply getting into action, etc?
• One thing that troubles me about the law of attraction is this. As coaches, we tend to be very giving, supporting philanthropic causes locally and abroad. Say for example, the myriads of breast cancer survivor walks. While this appears to be a very noble cause (like many non-profits) - i.e. in this case raising money for research - does the principle of law of attraction suggest that by our mere focus on these walks, we're perpetuating the very disease we're trying to eradicate? What might be an alternative solution to reach that desired goal?
• The book Law of Attraction written by the same authors suggests that the purpose of ACTION is not to get from where we are to where we want to be, but rather, the PURPOSE of action is to enjoy the manifestation of our desires, to dance in the moment. When we use action as a "how" to get to our goals, we're being extremely inefficient.
• SO! Let's say that I want to coach Karen Cappello, life coach extraordinaire. Taking this principle literally, I imagine and believe that you'll want to be coached by me...and voila! you ask me for a coaching session! My ACTION wasn't my calling you or sending you a brochure for example, but rather raising my vibration high enough to match my desires. Indeed, my ACTION is ENJOYING the process of coaching you, which was my goal.
• My question is...TRUE or FALSE? In coaching we talk about creating goals & action steps, so I'm curious about the possibilities here.
• As a native Chicagoan, what kind of pizza most attracts you, and how is this reflected in your personal coaching style? :D

Perhaps these questions bring to mind questions you’d like to see addressed in upcoming K-Casts? Please write my assistant, at assistant@karencappello.com. Kim will be delighted to set up an interview date and time with you.

Love and great joy,


Karen
