In my book, The Remote Influencer 2, I wrote a chapter about Life Coaching and Remote Influencing (RI). In this chapter, I wrote about the connections between RI and Life Coaching. I believe RI consulting can go hand in hand with Life Coaching. They can both mutually benefit each other and they can compliment each other too.
Life Coaching has its roots in executive coaching and financial planning. Most new systems evolve out of existing systems. Or, they are off shoots or spin off''s from existing systems or ideas. Please look out for my previous posts on RI consulting. My RI consulting, coaching and training services would fall under the name: The Remote Influencer Consulting Solution - TRICS. It's quite a long name. To simplify it, the work would be deemed as Remote Influencing consulting. I sense that there will be other RI practitioners offering their RI consulting and coaching services over the course of time. This is a good thing.
In my RI consulting solution, I aim to help the client to become an RI consultant unto him/her self. They would be encouraged to play the following roles: Researcher, Consultant, Coach, Teacher and Trainer. They can play these roles for themselves and for others. I have added elements of 'train the trainer' to TRICS. When it comes to the research aspect, I advocate independent self directed learning for the client. There is much to learn when it comes to RI. This learning does not have to be stressful. It should be enjoyable and it should not seem like a burden. The RI body of knowledge is continually expanding. It is not bound by dogma and it is not rigid. The rules are not set in stone.
The key word here is 'Remote'. RI consulting can be done online, over the phone - as in life coaching, and e-therapy, skype, fax. social media, instant messaging and in person if necessary.
