Hi Everyone!
If you are concerned about the future of humanity as I am—you know you can make a difference and impact your life and the life of others. I invite you to read this manifesto* and to share your point of view.
On coaching and the future of humanity
In this manifesto you will understand or discover:

- How and why the coaching industry could impact the future of humanity
-
That coaching could be the first industry in the history of mankind who would have the vision of really making a difference in the world.
- Why increasing global consciousness is paramount for the future of humanity
- Global consciousness should be our soul’s electricity, therefore every decision should be driven by global consciousness.
- Contrary to the ICF’s affirmation that 17% of people globally are very aware of coaching, this number is much lower
- Why it is important to take human beings to the next step in their evolution
- Why every human being should make its own declaration of independence
Please share it with your peers if you think it will make a difference!

WHEN WILL COACHING CROSS THE CHASM? (AND REACH MASS MARKET ACCEPTANCE)
Of course I don’t pretend to have the answer to this question but let me offer the reader a point of view that it might not be that far in the future!

I was especially inspired by the part on which he talks about getting mass market success or acceptance. I couldn’t help but wonder how this wisdom could be applied to coaching. The question that came to me was:
When will Coaching reach mass market success or acceptance?
