Service and Product Information
The basis of the service is a 10 point strategic plan that will deal with each of the problem areas below. This will include analysis, diagnosis, understanding, acknowledging and accepting that there
is a problem and something needs to be done about it and now rather than later and this is something you and you alone can do. This something is a plan to move forward with that addresses the
problem area in a patient but timely manner.
The SMS will be related to one of these areas - analysis, diagnosis, understanding, acknowledging, acceptance, strategies for resolutions, executing the
strategies, keeping and maintaining the solution in place over the medium to long term, monitoring compliance with the solution and finally re-evaluating each problem/solution pair and breaking it to start anew.
Each program will be supported using a stream of consecutive SMSs delivered daily for 30 days which will be constructed
around the 10 point strategic plan and your particular needs when you enrol for a particular program.
These are the salient points of the 10 point strategic plan dealing with a particular life coaching program (see below) -
Deep Analysis - root cause analysis, dealing objectively with question 'why am I where I am right now?'. The object is to move on as quickly as possible but that cannot occur if there is not some analysis of past events, causes, personalities, fears, successes, failures and motives.
Diagnosis - dealing subjectively with the causes of past failures and focusing on your involvement and culpability. This is not apportioning but done in a spirit of openness and learning.
Understanding - knowing both the cause and also your part in it.
Acknowledging - the part played by all the actors in the drama including you after the event. A post mortem in you will. This is some haitus between acknowledging and acceptance of indeterminate period but the shorter the better provided the acknowledgment and acceptance is real.
Acceptance - accepting your frailties, your weaknesses, the true and deep reasons for your failures totally sheeted home to you but now with total and absolute acceptance without regret or residual pain.
Strategies for resolutions - there will be a number but which one will work best?
Executing the strategies - this is the doing of the doing, simple to talk about but the crux of the matter.
Keeping and maintaining the solution in place over the medium to long term - it takes perseverance to stick to the solution identified.
Monitoring compliance with the solution - ensuring that the solution in place works as the environment changes.
Re-evaluating each problem/solution pair and breaking it to start anew - what works after a while must be broken, if it ain't broke break it just for the fun of it it might even be more efficient or work better next time.
Selected Programs Available
Program 1 - If you are setting up or running a small business and have liquidity and turnover issues, then a daily SMS can re-energize you for the day and provide you with a pick-me-up knowing
that a person cares about your business survival, sanity and success.
Program 2 - If you are battling weight and obesity issues and struggling to commence or go on with your diet, weight loss and exercise routine a daily SMS reminder can help you to focus on what
is needed at that moment. It can be sent at a time of your choosing (within any 24 hour period) and can be a wake-up call, a reminder call, a support call, an advice call. You choose the
areas you need support in and the service will be tailored to provide that advice on a regular basis for as long as you require it.
Program 3 - If you are unemployed or believe yourself 'unemployable' because of your lack of experience or age discrimination then this daily program provides you with the impetus to get up each day and do something to secure yourself the job you want not the job you may desperately need. To beat unemployment, you need to focus each day and
not get discouraged by knock-backs, lack of attention by employment agents and outright rejection. You may need reminding or encouragement to create yourself a knock-out resume.
Program 4 - If you are downsizing your current responsibilities, commitments, repayments and debts you will need help and support if only to manage the expectations of your stakeholders who may be used to a more luxurious or free-spending life. This is a critical plank in any successful life coaching program. This program works in synergy with the obesity program and supports closely the other programs.
All are about shedding excess cargo and reducing demand on your current capacity and making that capacity
available for the areas that you really want to focus on in the time available.
Program 5 - Having a very stressful corporate job and needing regular support to cope and eventually change from this occupation to something else less stressful. You may need help and advice to
mitigate your level of stress for example using exercise and a controlled diet and weight loss program.
Program 6 - If you have issues with money management and control, a daily SMS can focus you on what you need to do to control it. It will remind you to focus on cutting expenses (which is absolutely
doable & essential), increasing income if you can (which is less doable but which will have immediate benefit) and understanding where your income is going.
Program 7 - If you have issues and problems related to your decade of life then a daily SMS can help to start addressing these issues. You may be immensely talented but not have achieved much in your life and your may have a reached a decade in your life when you feel your time is running out. It is never too late to do something about it.
Health issues as you get older can slow you down but there is immediate payback for health and wellbeing reasons to staying as active as you can and creating and achieving new gaols.
Program 8 - If you have serious relationship issues and you need a daily reminder o what you need to do to resolve these issues (the tendency for most people is to sweep them under the carpet and avoid
a showdown at all costs which only leads to chronic conflict and anger). A daily SMS will provide you with the positive energy and direction you need to know that what you are facing has an end point
and end date provided you have the courage to make the right decisions.
Program 9 - If you have problems with your children, the daily SMS service will provide advice and supported related to the 10 point strategy (see above) to deal with troublesome children of whatever age.
Program 10 - You may wish to use the approaches and tools of life coaching in generally dealing with various areas of your life. A daily SMS life coaching service will provide direction and focus for this effort.
Program 11 - You may live with someone or love someone who is a sociopath and need advice, strategies and support to maintain this difficult relationship.
Program 12 - You may be enrolled in a program of study with lots of assignments and other work and need daily reminders to get on with it and not leave it to the last moment.
Program 13 - Conquer your addictions. You may be addicted to alcohol, tobacco, gambling, illicit drugs and unfulfilling sexual relationships. This program provides tips and techniques to begin to diagnose and understand the cause and source of your addictive behavior.
Each program consists of 30 SMSs of around 160 characters each (around a sentence and a half long) and additional programs are under development.
What is the difference between a friend sending you an SMS to cheer you up in times of trouble and this service? This service is regular, daily and provides non judgmental and unbiased advice and close targeted
support 100% related to your problem area. It is not in the vein of 'Cheer up, you'll get over it' or 'Snap out of it, it's all in your head' but rather focusing on the 10 point strategic plan (see above) for each life coaching program area and working
away at each point on a daily basis for incremental but positive improvements.
The daily SMSs (delivered daily over a period of 30 consecutive days) will serve multiple purposes. It will provide reminders to do things, life coaching tips and techniques tailored to your situation, suggestions for improvements and changes, it can be a wake-up call literally and figuratively, it will provide encouragement,
motivation, skills and support in your chosen program area. As part of your fee, you can send one SMSs daily (at any time of the day or night) within your 30 day period. This will allow me to target your daily SMS better. I only ask that you use the same mobile number to send and receive which will help me in identifying you.

Life Coaching Tips and Techniques No. 10
Obesity and the roller coaster ride from nadir to zenith and back
There are five journeys in obesity, which one are you on now?
Why are there obese people when there are people starving in the world? Is obesity a medical problem rather than
one of lack of self-control or perhaps even one using food for sexual/sensual gratification for masking (?) the real problems?
How successful is someone who is 250 kilos at 'masking' or hiding the problem?
The five journeys is obesity are -
Getting there becoming obese, this is the easiest journey of all and happens almost without you knowing. This journey is on the road to death.
Staying there at a steady weight, this is a hard journey because the tendency is to put on more weight not less. This journey is a slow death.
The next journey is one into hell and that is on the road to putting on more and more weight. This is the last journey these people even embark on.
This journey ends in death.
The penultimate journey and the one with the most difficulty starting is the road back away from obesity. The enormous journey back is not the problem
but the first step back, the first gram lost. This journey is not a journey of weight loss but a journey to lose the fears and problems that the weight gain had
temporarily put on the back burner. This second last journey is the life coaching journey and has much less to do with weight loss, exercise and fitness and more to do with
facing problems in their real intensity and fury perhaps for the first time since the decision taken to embark on the first journey.
The last journey and that is to keep the weight at the target weight after the massive task of weight loss because again the tendency is to put the weight back on
even faster than before and much much faster than it was lost. For every gram lost a kilo is put on.
Work with a life coach who understands your weight problem is not a weight problem but a personal problem posing, impersonating a weight problem. Someone who knows which
journey you are on and can make sure you either move to the next healthy journey or stay at the healthy journey you're on.

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.
