So in this video I'm going to answer a question that's been sent in from Fraser who lives in Bristol.
You k.
I'm not sure if this is a friendly question.
I don't know.
My my my discerning senses come into play and I don't know if there's a little bit of falseness or a
little there.
And that's question but I'm going to answer it anyway regardless of the question from Fraser in Bristol
UK says Cain.
This is a certain vacation course or a so called Surf vacation course.
What exactly can I do with my certificates.
ANNOUNCER well Fraser or anyone else who's interested.
What do we seem to forget.
Well towards the end of the course once you finished the last lecture you can access updf downloadable
to forget their own.
It's a certificate in Life Coaching it's a certificate in completion of the course.
What it isn't a certificate 10 is competence and the reason why it's not a certificate and competence
is because I don't know you and I don't know how competent you are.
There are going to be some people who will practice an action.
Everything that I've discussed throughout this course and some people who are just looking to retain
and regurgitate information know when it comes to life coaching.
I have experienced people who operate on both side of the sides of the fence.
There are some people who just want to retain and grow information and then you've got people who really
want to understand the information so that they can share and apply it.
I choose these ones or I trust these ones.
Many people in life unfortunately who are good on this path.
Psychologists philosophers sociologists academics sometimes use information as a means by which to impress
people.
Urns sure off line.
That's the state of the world.
Personally that's never impressed me.
If someone's more interested in an impression of other people with thorough knowledge of the certificates
that the Harvard the letters the herb after the name.
Do I have some letters after my name.
What does it matter.
I might have may not have.
I'm not going to tell.
It does make a slightest bit of difference if I didn't understand what it is that teach and then I wouldn't
be able to put together this course.
Well in fact I probably could do it.
There's plenty of other courses out there of people that actually just read from textbooks and put some
power points in front of the video as this whole course has been me standing right in front of the camera.
No Scripts nothing like that which I'm hoping if you've made it this far you're appreciating that I
fundamentally understand my subjects right.
I know what I'm talking about regardless of whether you like my approach or whether you don't.
So the answer to this question Kane what exactly can I do with my certificate.
Fraser you can put your certificate in a folder.
And you can show it to people if you so choose.
Personally I have never shown anyone my certificates because I do not need to justify myself.
If someone demands or expects me to justify myself the only reason why they would want that is because
they don't trust me and I will not enter into a relationship with someone who I whose trust I have not
earned a will not earn someone's trust I presenting certificates to them or by you know sharing letters
after my name or presenting them information or any of these sorts of things.
I understand that you only ever earned someone's trust in life through being authentic through being
genuine through being real and fundamentally giving someone something off via you which is always going
to be insight or understanding some sort of aha.
Information doesn't go hand in hand with Aha.
It's in say understanding.
There goes hand in hand with.
Ah ha.
Ah ha moment is when the lights go on lights going on means that someone has just come to see something
that they never previously saw.
And this is kind of the essence of what we're looking to achieve through life coaching whether we're
telling our own stories whether we're telling someone else's stories whether we're sharing principles
or whatever we're doing.
It doesn't really matter what we do we still forget.
It's a bit of paper cert fixation is no substitute for competence.
I appreciate in the 21st century world there many people know their place more emphasis and priority
over gaining certificates of what they do on gaining competence.
Personally I choose competence any the week and that is Kaner who I am really talking to in this course.
People who want to practice this stuff who want to take action and develop competence not just those
who want to collect certificates.
So maybe a bit of a controversial answer but hey look I'm just being honest.
I'm just being authentic so please don't shoot the messenger.
But I am hoping that makes sense and all that said that answer is okay for someone.
I look forward to seeing you again in the next video.
