How can meditation help your career as a professional recovery coach?
We all have those days when we come home from work feeling exhausted, stressed, and sleep-deprived. As much as we love our careers as professional recovery coaches, even the best job in the world canât protect you from a stressful day. That doesnât mean there arenât things we can do to help our minds become clearer and stronger while weâre working with our clients. Meditation may be the answer youâre looking for on those mentally tough days.
It can help you beat job stress and burnout. Any career can have you feeling stressed and exhausted at the end of a long day. Although we feel there are many healthy benefits to working as a professional recovery coach, it never hurts to have another layer of defense against work burnout. Weâd recommend daily meditation because it can help you leave your work at work and free your mind to relax when youâre at home. It can also help you evaluate tough emotions that come from your work life without you having to immediately react to them, which can help you manage them readily and accurately when the time comes.
Meditation is a great way to work on your attention span. Most people have to practice meditation and mindfulness regularly before theyâre able to see any real results. However, as you practice meditation, youâre also practicing keeping your attention on one thing â your breathing. Working on your attention can help you become more attentive and alert to your clients when youâre working directly with them in a long session or discussion. You may find that your mind doesnât wander as much while youâre at work if youâve been working on your meditation skills.
It can keep your body clear, rested, and ready to help others. There are several physical and mental benefits to meditation. One of our favorites is that practicing meditation can also make it easier to fall asleep when youâre particularly stressed about a client or situation. It also allows you to clear your brain if you have something in your personal life that may be affecting your work. When you have the ability to take care of your body and clear your mind, you will be that more able to tend to the needs of the people you are working with as a professional recovery coach.
If youâve never tried meditation before, it may be time to give it a try. Although it takes practice, meditation may just be the key to becoming your best self, and an ever better professional recovery coach.

Coaching Roles by Jean LaCour PhD, CPP, CPC, CPRC
    The International Coach Federation 2015 Client Study confirms that Professional coaching brings many wonderful benefits and can impact peopleâs lives through:  fresh perspectives on personal challenges, enhanced decision-making skills, greater interpersonal effectiveness, and increased confidence.â1
Practical Roles in Coaching. Life Coaches believe that clients are the source of their own solutions and use the coaching conversation and powerful questions to expand awareness and insight. There may be times though, when your clients will be well served if you can share the benefit of your experience or knowledge in a way that helps them move forward. My friend Pegotty Cooper, who trains Divorce Coaches, shared four pragmatic roles that include Educator, Thinking Partner, Resource, and Champion. I believe these also apply to the specialty area of Recovery Coaching.
As Educator. If your clients are working within a specific set of challenges or goals, you may be of service in helping them to see the bigger picture. To help clients get better outcomes in a difficult process, at times you may educate them about options or pitfalls of going through the process or system, example caring for an elderly parent or making a career shift. You may know of services they can check into. But, we are coaches, we are not advisors.
As Thinking Partner. When you are working with clients over many months or longer, they may be impacted by crisis situations or undue stress. They may be operating from their reptilian brain. They need a voice of reason and reminder about where they are going when they get overwhelmed; in other words, a Thinking Partner. We help them to think through options including how to maintain relationships with important support people and track the steps in their process, such as dealing with loss of a job or death of a loved one. Many times, a valued Life Coach is the trusted professional who can bring stability in the mist of lifeâs instability by believing their clients are capable and resourceful. And by helping them to remember who they are as their âbest selvesâ.
As Resource. Life Coaches can help clients relate to other vital people. We identify and screen professionals such as mental health professionals. We make Referrals to these people who have specific roles in a difficult process or situation our clients encounter. We also curate resources like books, blogs, support networks, etc. which can inform and inspire.
As Champion. Our clients need a person who is âin their cornerâ helping them to explore how to make happen what they want to have happen, to celebrate wins big and small, and to help them gain clarity, confidence, and courage for the journey. Life Coaches have tremendous capacity to help our clients to find the inner resources to press through their stuck places when their goals seem unattainable.

A Cancer Diagnosis Makes a Person Sit Up and Take Notice â Part V
Time
How many âtimesâ have you heard that TIME is a valuable commodity?
Time is of the essence
You canât make up for lost time
The clock is ticking
Time is money
So much to do, and so little time
You get the pictureâŠ
But, I didnât get it. Not really. Not for the longest time (pun intended). Until that dayâŠ
How I found that the Cancer in my colon had metastasized to the liver was a bit bizarre. I suppose the cancer wasnât satisfied taking root in my colon, knowing that it was rather easy (relatively speaking) for a surgeon to remove it. So it decided to take residence in my liver.
Cancer can be like that, you know. Makes itself at home, and takes over, room by room.
I had been diagnosed with Colon Cancer by a Urologist after the Colonoscopy, and he had referred me to a really unique surgeon. Sole practitioner, cowboy boots, and a expansive sense of humor. Called himself the A**hole Doctor, since much of his practice was related to that part of the anatomy.
But, I digressâŠ
The surgeon was very confident he could remove the colon section in question, and I would be good to go. He requested a CT scan, and scheduled me for the surgery.
The day of the surgery, as I was headed to the waiting area, my wife and I stopped in the medical records department, and requested a copy of the CT Scan results. Metastasis.
I finally got what all the fuss was, about this thing called Time, and it actually stood still. It did. It can actually do that, you know. Well, truth be told, it just seems to do that when something that really sucks, just smacks you between the eyeballs. And a metastasis just has a way of doing that. Bam!
But here is what I really want to say to you about Time:
Regardless of when you finally figure out that time is valuable, irrespective of how you figure it out, accept this blinding flash of the obvious as a gift. Because it is.
From that moment on, make the most of time. Swear to yourself that you will strive, every single day of the rest of your life to do the following 5 things:
Savor every moment you can. Savor that ice cream, your wifeâs smile, the laughter of your kids, the smell of a mowed lawn or a freshly baked batch of blueberry muffins, the songbirdâs sweet melody, or the sound of rain on the roof.
Donât sweat the small, insignificant, petty stuff. When you really come down to it, the VAST majority of stuff in this world is small and petty and insignificant. It just is! Why get your knickers in a knot about that stuff?
Slow down and pay attention to the beauty in the details, and learn something new every day. Donât gloss over the beauty in the details. Find out how things work, and why. Whether itâs learning how to speak a few words in a foreign language, figuring out how hummingbirds hover, what honey is made of (OK, this one will be a little gross), how a tiny speck of sand can turn into a pearl, what chemicals farts are made of (trying to make a point here!), it does not really matter. Just learn new stuff. Every day.
Stop to reflect at the end of each day. What you got accomplished. What went well. What could have gone better. What was left undone. Take inventory.
Be gracious. Show gratitude. Give thanks. Donât take what people do for granted. Donât minimize their efforts and deeds. And above all, donât gloss over just how valuable it was to live yet another day.
If you do these things, I can literally guarantee you that from this moment on, you will find fulfillment, and your life will change. You will change. And you wonât ever question again if you have truly accomplished something truly great. Because you have. You have accomplished the greatest act of all.
You have learned how to value TIME. Hopefully, I pray for your sake, without a Cancer diagnosisâŠ
I always welcome your thoughts and comments, even when you donât agree with me. I donât have all the answers. Heck, I donât even have the questions half the time. Drop me a line. Leave comments in the LEAVE A REPLY box below.

A Cancer Diagnosis Makes a Person Sit Up and Take Notice â Part IV
Magic Cure
I did some research just to see how many âsilver bulletsâ or âmagic curesâ I could find for cancer. I got tired and stopped counting at 142. Iâd bet anything there are 10 times that number.
Let me be clear. I am not a doctor. I am not a scientist.I am not a medical researcher, biologist, biochemist, nor do I have any medical training. And please donât get on my case that donât know what I am talking about, and that I didnât look at Dr. Euphoriaâs Jimsonweed Extract or 12 Carrots a Day.
I have cancer. And, a lot of common sense and some intelligence. And after doing my own reading, and research, and talking to a few experts, I chose a path.
I am glad I did.
I know there are stories of someone who was cured doing X, Y, or Z, be it Urine Therapy, Neuro-linguistic Programming, Ear Candling, Emuâs Head Extract (yes, for real), Homeopathy, the Budwig Protocol, using an Orgone Accumulator or any of the 130 plus other quackeries I found. I just donât buy it.
My advice: Talk to real experts, read, pray, and then make the very best decision you can for you.
âSteve Jobs died regretting that he had spent so long attempting to treat his cancer with alternative medicine before agreeing to undergo surgery, his biographer has disclosed.ââââwww.telegraph.co.uk
If there was a Magic Cure, there would be no more Cancer. I hope someday soon, I pray to God, mankind finds one. This disease sucksâŠ

A Cancer Diagnosis â Part III
My Family
This is Part III of the series on Cancer Diagnosis Themes.
For me, right after my diagnosis, a very early thought that embedded itself in my mind, sticking there like a rusty nail, eating in to my thoughts every day, was âWhat will my family do? How can I take care of my family?â
This is only natural, and having talked with more than a few cancer clinic waiting-room inhabitants, itâs pretty common. In addition to the incredible stress the
But itâs not the right focus. Hereâs why.
I am not suggesting one should not care about their family. I care deeply about mine. And they have been instrumental in my healing and recovery. What I am saying is that you need to focus on and take care of self first, or you will not be around long enough to do your family any good.
A certain amount of selfishness here is called for:
Get your priorities straight
Focus on your recovery, healing, treatment, and psyche,
Then you can then take care of the other very important things in life.
Without strength and health, you wonât be able to get it together enough to care for your family.
And although not the topic of this particular post, the same applies to addictions. Under the powerful grip of addictions, you will be less than useful to your loved ones.
Fix you, then a healthier, more together you, can help the family.

Donât Fake It Until You Make It
It is ironic that the guy who said, âCall it âfake it âtil you make itâ, call it âsmoke and mirrorsâ, call it whatever you wantâ lasted only 10 days as the communications director for the âfake newsâ obsessed White House. It is also kind of ironic that casino magnate Steve Wynn got his âgood friendâsâ name wrong. Wynn referred to Scaramucci as Andy and Andrew, instead of Anthony, when he made the opening remarks at the inaugural SkyBridge Alternatives (SALT) Conference in Las Vegas in May of 2009. Seems that perhaps faking it until you make it does indeed have its price.
I like to think so.
Some disagree. After all, there is allegedly some âscienceâ behind the whole âFake It Until You Make Itâ approach to life and business. It serves as one of the underlying principles of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), where it can serve as a means to enable a change in oneâs behavior. Simplistically speaking, the theory says that if you âact as ifâ you are already a certain way, it is easier to achieve being that way.
But the point is:Â Its supposed to be a temporary condition!!!!! You are not supposed to Fake It forever!
Iâm not going to get into the details of the science, nor will I debate CBT, which in my opinion happens to be a sound practice for improving mental health. What I am going to do, is to give you the 5 reasons why âfaking itâ is not such a good idea.
Reeks of being inauthentic â I understand the âgistâ of how some people interpret the âfake itâ mantra. But overall, I think itâs pretty inauthentic. Iâm not into fakingâŠ
Fools you into believing you donât really need to learn â You might be learning as you go, and as long as you are learning and making progress, all is good. But donât lull yourself into a false sense of thinking you can do, just because you say you canâŠ
Implies taking short cuts is a good practice â In the end, there is no substitute for actually having skills and expertise. Superficial knowledge might just eventually get you in trouble. I have found that in driving, much like in life, most shortcuts lead to a big ditch or a flat tireâŠ
Discourages you from putting in real time â Donât fool yourself into thinking that you know enough to get by, and then have that get in the way of learning and gaining the skills. Put in the time.
Draining to always be faking it â Isnât it a drain of energy to be pretending you know? I would be under stress all the time, thinking someone is going to call me out, or expose big gaps in skills or knowledge. What a drain of mental, emotional and physical energy. Iâd rather spend the time actually getting smarter and better!
Iâm all for being positive. I am totally in favor of on the job training, and I support learning as you go. But these all imply a process. They are about growth and evolution of skills and knowledge. Itâs not a superficial facade of saying you are or know something you are truly not or donât know.
So the long and the short of it for me is, get to where you need to be. Put in the time. Stop faking it!

âThe best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Donât wait for good things to happen to you. If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope.â ~Barack Obama
