Gilbert Labour's Life Coaching Message for Australia Day 2005
Gilbert Labour, a leading life and executive coach, explores the fundamental and elemental relationship between change leading to the future reworked and reinvented and life coaching
Australia is the lucky country. We have a well deserved reputation for sharing and giving of ourselves and of the richness of the nation. This has been absolutely proven during the orgy of giving during the Tsunami crisis. But where next from here? Is the future purely driven by economics or should it be also dependent on what we want and our skills & talent to turn our want and desire into reality.
The revolution that is life coaching has already commenced in the United States and in a lesser extent in the UK but somewhat more diffused in EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Asia) and with little or no traction in Australia. Is life coaching another type of future not dictated by economics but by living simply for the moment but with structure and framework around the moment? It is probably that and more, much more.
But to start with what can be done to improve the penetration of life coaching in Australia? Is this a desirable thing generally? It is desirable if we think it is another solution to our day to day worries but there is a continuum to this, the economy and our place in it being the least important of all and the universe and our place in it the most important of all.
When the economy drives so much cultural and other iconic behaviour it is difficult to make a rational decision about your personal future without it. The capability for change is linked inextricably with the ability to fund the movement for change. But there is change you can make that is free.
You can eat less, you can exercise more and consume less alcohol, tobacco and illicit drugs. This will build the platform for change and is the only basis for moving forward. There is no point building carrier based aircraft without also building an aircraft carrier. Fundamental change in your situation and position, in your wealth and property, in your relationships, in your family and future require no less.
The crux of the message is that you will either have change forced upon you or you can go out and create your own version of change before life's version or somebody else's version is forced upon you. There will be time enough for the latter.
The very best learn from the best hence learn from the best life coaches out there both in the content of life coaching approaches and also in terms of strategies for business development for whatever transformation is envisaged both during and after the process of change.
There are over 1 million web sites out there dealing with life and executive coaching, visit some of them and learn about the views out there about implementing transformations in your life and take action. You are all the life coach you need.

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.
