Field Coach Training
An Eight-Week Self-Study Course in Acrobat PDF Format

I'm a certified coach, and I find your approach far more powerful and effective than traditional coaching methods.

Field Coach Training student

This beautifully illustrated, 54-page curriculum presents the same instruction offered in our iStudy Coaching program, with the same principles and methods used by Field Center Coaches in actual coaching sessions, all in a convenient self-study format. Eight weekly lessons teach our unique approach to life coaching based on the Field training model, the Socratic method, and basic principles of informal logic. Help friends and family identify and resolve unexamined beliefs and identify better choices.

The Field Coach Training (FCT) program provides the principles and practices you'll need to help others:

identity hidden contradictions that are at the root of suffering
effect a natural and effortless transition from "immersion" to a new awareness of previously unwitting beliefs
discover "outside the box" thinking that clarifies new and better choices
experience relief and profound change in even a single session

How is Field Coaching Different from Traditional Life Coaching?
Field Coaching is based on Field training principles, the most important of which is that our reality corresponds to the choices we make, wittingly or unwittingly, about who we are and “how things are,” or what’s real. Consequently, it aims to shed light on these choices rather than on the quantifiable results that flow inevitably from them. So, for example, while traditional life coaching might focus on helping someone manage his or her time more efficiently, reduce or eliminate clutter, move up the career ladder faster, restore self-esteem, or be a better parent, Field Coaching examines the usually unexamined beliefs, assumptions, and conclusions that are creating and sustaining the need for such goals, for these beliefs, assumptions, and conclusions are the true cause of whatever situation needs improving. Once a better belief is in place, a better reality follows effortlessly and inevitably. Field Coaching, then, is ontological rather than psychological. It deals not just with making better choices (all life coaching does this much), but with making better choices about who we are and what’s real. As Field Coaching works with the deepest and most influential beliefs that we can hold—beliefs about identity and reality—results are typically quick, dramatic, and lasting.
