The 5 Stages of the Life Cycle of the Coach- The Midwife or Life Doula

by | May 30, 2020

In what stage are you, 

and what are your next steps? 

Do you want to be a Rockstar or are you more of a Midwife? It turns out, that as a coach, people go through different stages.

The people that come to us for Soul-based Coach training, come from wildly different backgrounds and experience levels. From people who are literally just getting started, to very experienced coaches and therapists.

Of course, that made me wonder why they all come to us.

And this is when I started to see the Life Cycle of the Coach. Five stages from Seedling to Sage. Each stage with its own distinct experience. And clear insights into what is needed to progress through the stages. 

Let’s find out what stage you are in, and what your next steps can be. 

 

4. The Midwife or Life Doula

 

Are you a Midwife kind of Coach? Or would you like to be one? 

 

This is where you know how to hold space and help your client tap into their deepest wisdom. And like a midwife, you can help any individual change process to happen smoothly for clients. And see great babies be born – well, practical real life changes actually :

The midwife. You hold powerful knowledge about how changes can happen for clients. You are connected with Source, in your own unique way. You can offer a riverbed for your clients Shakti flow, their creative life energy that makes everything happen. Including their healing and the changes the clients want.

In this way, the results can come in the most natural way for them. So that they can use ALL their power. 

You have learned to trust the wisdom of your client’s body ~ mind ~ soul system. 

And you know that you can even guide your clients to places that they & you have never been to. And that makes you very happy, because the changes that we need in our world today, individually and collectively, go way beyond what we have known so far. 

 

You know that with every client, with every process, you learn more as a coach. 

You know where you are, and you know what your next step is to develop yourself.

The Midwife has three levels: : apprentice, skilled, & master

 

Your options: 

So the good news is that you can always start in this step into this stage of the Life Cycle of the Coach. And Soul-based Coaching training can help you develop yourself from apprentice towards that master level.

And to move towards the Sage… Life itself will do that. 

But with your training, you are very well equipped to enter into that stage. 

 

Your next step

  • Are you a Midwife? 
  • If so, what do you recognise from this stage? 
  • Do you want to start developing your skills to the next level?

 

What are your next steps? The world, we all, need your medicine.

Having a chat with us at the Academy for Soul-based Coaching about what is possible for you may be very insightful.

Love that you are here! It’s a pleasure to share what I’ve learned in 25 yrs of coaching and teaching coaches since 2006. At the Academy for Soul-based Coaching, the team and me have reached 1000s of coaches, therapists and healers, helping them have phenomenal, embodied results.

On a personal note, I’m a bi-sexual, perimenopausal (read sleep-deprived) self-anointed Priestess who craves the spiritual as much as I do the practical, connecting seeming opposites in true Gemini style – and that is about all I know about astrology.
