Life Coaching through the ages is a series of life coaching studies based around my CD Life Coaching The First Forty Years. This is a program of life coaching
that covers the early years through to 40. For the online version I will add an extra module to take it to 50.
The purpose of the program is to use existing experiences and those about to come in a fusion of the past, the present in a profusion of possibilities and probabilities. This not for its own end but
as a way to determine how the bank vault that is you is constructed. The construction material is important, the builder is important and key is how the nascent building interfaced with the materials and
the builders. Secondly once the construction of the vault is understood better, then we can begin to understand how the lock was constructed and by whom. Withe lock understood (perhaps only dimly at this stage)
then we can begin to understand how to go about fashioning a key or a combination to unlock it. This is easier said than done. At all stages of the process, there will be revelation and catharsis. A precursor to
this is courage and how to harness it to detonate previous problems, issues and problems. But a controlled detonation but nonetheless accompanied by pain and release from pain, by sorrow and release from sorrow,
by regret and release from regret, by self-awareness and release from self imposed prison.
Wilderness Years 21-30
The Second Age of Rebellion. A more knowing partial rejection of the world. A drift from the things we wanted to do to things we have to do to make a living. A distance opens up inside us between the dream and the possible. You stop to deal with dreams and begin to deal with the possible and the probable. The age of compromise. This distance will become
almost impossible to bridge. Once it opens it will only get bigger and bigger. There is perhaps an inkling of the talent at our disposal but not much more than that. There are dreams but no mechanisms for making these dreams come true. There is sexual and sensual fantasy but no hope of salvation or hope of relief. There is only confusion at the beginning of this age
and no way out then. There will be some enlightenment towards the end of this age but not with any depth. It will be mere suspicion, one will merely suspect there is another way of dealing with friends, family and work but no deep awareness of how to reach that way. What to Watch Out For - Not laying any foundations for the future. Excessive consumption of everything but now in moderation. You must destroy the saying "everything in moderation". It is in excess or nothing at all. One can't have half fun.
Tips and Techniques
Transition and Transformation. Uncertainty about the shape, about the form, about the missile. More uncertainty about the content, about the mass, about the meat. Chaos surrounding the target. Changing target. No trajectory determined. No landing place or space.
Leading to nowhere. Taking the lead but no one following. Focus on non-existent power to make things happen when power doesn't exist. Tendency for hubris but no foundation for such (warped anyway) belief. Leadership without a leader or ship. Rudderless but plenty of friends sharing the go nowhere ship.
Not alone nor lonely just lost. But with plenty of similar travellers for company.
No journey mapped out, no map for the journey. No need for a start line. Start line constantly changing. The distance between the start and the end very small infinitely so. No end in sight. No sight in end.
Lots of broken journeys. Broken off journeys. Never started journeys. Never ending journeys.
Difficulty in determining where the start line is exactly. No one to help or show where. Talent without cause. Love without commitment. Friends without friendship.
No natural mentors. No natural leaders. No natural coaches. But much too early to be one in one's own right.
No discipline, no power, no glory, no life, no connection. Gear box disengaged, in neutral but formidable engine. No body or direction.
A state of waiting for leadership and mentoring. No coach will jump out. Realisation that in life one will only meet one mentor and perhaps never a coach.
Provided there is great intellect and much suffering and learning from this suffering, then this is the period when future coaches are laid, made, created, forged, manufactured, distributed and polished.

Coaching Programs
555 Program
The 555 Program is complementary to the 333 Program and is part of a family of programs called The Numbered Series, a simplification of a plethora of products, services and programs into
a number of specifically targeted set of programs that target a very specific audience with a limited amount of time and resources to devote to a life and executive coaching program. The programs
covers a set of goals over a set period for a specific (one time only) fee.
The key goals of the 555 Program is to be able to run 5k in 5 months, to solve 5 life coaching issues or problems in 5 months and to investigate and resolve 5 executive coaching problems
in 5 months.
Life Coaching Portal Programs
Beyond the existing Diamond program being run on the portal, a series of additional programs are being developed to be run for specific audiences and which have very clear targets and goals.
These include the following.
The 555 Program
Gilbert Labour, will personally run this program. It will probably take in the region of 10 suitable people and run for 5 months. The program is multi-faceted and covers three main streams a fitness stream, a life coaching stream
dealing with personal issues and an executive stream to supercharge your work, business and corporate environment.
The first stream is a fitness element. The goal is to be able to run 5k (non stop) in five months and be able to lose 5 kilos in the process. This is a modest achievement and is considered a healthy approach to fitness generally.
I am a former fitness instructor and dance teacher and can provide guidance in this area. You will need a clearance from your doctor if you're over 45.
The second stream is a life coaching element. The goal of the life coaching is to investigate a number of current personal issues and focus on 5 for resolution in 5 months. One to be resolved or at least worked on each month.
The third stream is an executive coaching element. The goal of this element is to come up with five goals or issues to be dealt with in the 5 months of the program. These could involve working towards a promotion, changing jobs, changing careers,
leaving the corporate environment and developing a small business. For the hard core executives and other corporate thrivers and survivors there will be a number of areas that include executive interview training and executive decision making that can be covered.
There are many others and these can be chosen based on your current goals. The aim of this stream is canvass all the possibilities and focus on only 5 and work through each one.
The cost of the program varies. To take part on a one-on-one basis with Gilbert Labour will cost $5000. To take part in a group setting will cost $2000. Individual programs can start at anytime considered suitable.
To provide this program on a company wide basis (more than 10 people), please call Gilbert Labour for a quote.
Please call Gilbert Labour on 0409 223 436 if you would like to take part. Further information on the 555 Program is available from the portal.
General Information
I also do a small amount of pro-bono work in the area of life coaching. I belong to the Life Coaching Pro Bono Group (LCPBG), a group of life coaches I am putting together to do this type of work for people in need but who may not be able to afford the services of a full fee life coach. We make allowances for your circumstances and also on the understanding that once you're back on your
feet, your capacity to contribute to your life coaching will also improve.
Generally speaking, we will set clear goals, we will put in place plans to attain those goals, we will execute the plan effectively. We will monitor and survey the results and ensure our goals are met. In most cases, we will envelope what we are trying to achieve into a coaching programme.
I operate flexibly taking into account the needs of the client as we progress with the programme.
Please call me on my mobile (0409 223 436) for a confidential discussion to begin the journey of self discovery.
