Is it possible to transform oneself in just 4days? Read on as I share my experience of seeing what takes place when one is in the presence of one of the most inspiring people I have met throughout my life time; Marc Steinberg*, founder of the CCI Coaching Academy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What an awesome, awesome, awesome joyful privilege for me to walk, run and sometimes take the express train with you as we each travel on our jou
eys through conscious transformation. I am truly loving it and at times, though the challenges may seem almost insurmountable, the view is amazing when we get to the next destination.

I was able to chat to some of you during the CCI Master IV training, and as Lisa may share with you, when we are in action of service to creating a revolution in consciousness and making love a worldwide reality :-), there is little room for personal interaction or relationship building with you guys, I am therefore taking this opportunity to share my experience viewed from the back row as one of your trainers. And so I share that at the end of the four days this is how I now see you...

Arty, you and I have a date that Chyros set a billion years ago :-) ...Ambassadress to be in this life and an Empress in many other previous lives I'm sure, with the commanding presence to direct people towards the right path, those who are not worthy of your you, will quiver in the aisles as you continue in your stride. Those who understand your power will follow close behind, whilst in your wake, will quiver those who are afraid to dare to walk on the path that you pave ahead;

Simon, wow... why are you depriving us from your magnificence? If you had a pipe and played it without sound, I would follow your lead! For me you are a silent giant who will enticingly lead others - those who hear the call of your silent pipe, will indeed be lead to their greatest heights;

Palesa, as a trainer in the back row, it was very difficult for me not to come and take your hands away from your eyes... I am unbelievably happy that you opened your own eyes and saw that the box that kept you contained, was nothing but illusion, so that you could give us the gifts that you had to offer. There is a bookstore waiting to be filled with your sultry beauty and the quintessence of your gentle being - You pave the way ahead with the words of wisdom, knowledge and freedom so that in the future all Africans to may BE who they wish to be;

I am grateful to each of you wonderful giants, for the opportunity to have danced with you and I do add that my favorite dance partner is Sibo, thank you, thank you, kind sir. May you dance your way into the lives of your future associates and lead them to find the music in their lives - by the way Sibo, you lost at least 10 years already and if you follow Arty's invitation to lose the glasses - I'm sure you'll lose another 10:-)
Lisa, you and I will be seeing a lot of each other. Each time I see you, your presence affirms the Xena/Kali strength, determination and beauty that you have what it takes and the determination to go get it... move aside guys cos nothing stands in your way. Your giant shadow, will have those following you mesmerized by your integrity and give them the confidence that you will take them unfailingly, all the way to where ever they want to go. It is strange that more than your extraordinary exte
al beauty, it is the image of your beautiful soul that I see each time that you appear in my mind. You inspire trust and if I get lost whilst dancing to Simon's pipe, I know you would easily get me back on track, because your light can be seen from so, so far away.

Mahindra.... ah Mahindra... what surprises do you now have in store for us? You caught the express train in Master I and saw many beautiful things, and there the giant exploded into our presence as if awakened from hibe
ation and you realized that you hold the power to manifest all that you want and so began creating and now... wow... what? Ha! now, the giant is rubbing his eyes and really seeing that oh... there's more?! You bet there is more and no, you cannot go back to sleep!... see you in 3 weeks!

To all of the men in this Master IV, thank you for also showing us that you may be giants with the most softest and gentlest of hearts too. You were beautifully touching and some of your tiny gestures of tende
ess had me suppressing tears filled with joy and love... a gentle caressing kiss on the top of a pregnant ladies head... or the little air kiss exchanged right at the end of an intense and competitive moment of fun... between two of the most butch, stereotypical males one can possibly put together in such circumstances. Thank you for that guys! (no I won't share that with anyone... promise).

I wish a safe jou
ey home to the Capetonians and to our Dutch friends - (how much can you get, when sitting outside the room? - you guys rock and I will see you in Holland next year).

Each and everyone of you has already left an imprint in my life - Maaaaan! There are times when I woke up at 3:00 in the morning with visions of you and your greatness :-) So sometimes the Master Five jou
ey as a trainer, is challenging but hey guys, how could I not continue, when with each internship that I do, I am again transformed and again and again... and again..? Hey Marc! Just how layers of snow are there? :-)

For some of us our paths may never cross again, however I believe that on the contrary, we will not be able to avoid each other because the giants who left the room yesterday at the end of our Consciousness Coaching(R) Master IV training, have already left foot prints so big, that others can but follow in awe.

Always with joy and laughter, until our paths cross again,

Have a wonderful life BEING "Success in Action TM" and remember... and remember, as Marc Says if you don't do it, it wont get done!

If you haven't already asked yourself this question, it's important that you do so before you consider becoming a professional coach. There are many misconceptions out there, and understanding what coaching is not can be just as important as knowing what coaching actually is. What Coaching is NOTr Coaching often suffers from a case of mistaken identity; sometimes being confused with consulting, mentoring, or therapy. But, it's none of those - though coaching incorporates aspects of each of those modalities.

Many people don't believe in the adage, "Do what you love and the money will follow," and, consequently, they spend years in unfulfilling jobs. They know, deep inside, that there is more to life (and to work) than what they’re currently doing, but they don’t believe that they can actually make a living doing something they REALLY love to do.

There are a lot of things in life that are truly complicated and challenging to solve – a long-term solution for peace in the Middle East, calculus, mapping the human genome, or deciphering if my wife is really ‘fine’ or if I’m actually in trouble. On the other hand, there are things that seem more difficult than they are – breaking bad habits, living healthier, being happy, the proper usage of “there” “their” and “they’re.”
