In recent years, the coaching industry has grown by leaps and bounds. This is largely due to the fact that professionals and executives can see the value that coaching offers them, both personally and professionally. In a world driven by measurable results, a positive return on investment is an attractive proposition for any businessperson. Now, people outside of the business arena are seeing the value of coaching in helping them achieve their goals and create their desired life.

Most every self-help courses start with the idea that you must know yourself before you can know what you are going to do and how you will act with others. Even he Bible tells us to “Know thyself.” before you can know God. Even though most people would claim they know who they are, in reality they don’t. People may have a general idea of what they like or want or may even have some sort of direction; but they don’t pursue what really makes them function as they do. Why do you react the way you do? What makes you get angry or happy? Most people can’t begin to answer these questions about themselves.

This is why some people require long term therapy with an analyst to help solve their problems. Psychiatrist can detect the complexities of people much better than the individuals themselves. They realize the layers of entrenched beliefs within the human mind must be approached with caution and restraint.

Common people do not evaluate the physiological side of someone else, because they could not detect abnormal traits without proper training. Even if they tried it would still take a trained professional to make a valid evaluation. Any evaluation of a person would differ from person to person. Certainly your evaluation of yourself would be strikingly different than any persons’ evaluation of you. You would tend to be harder in your assessment of yourself than someone else. Why? Because you know what your expatiations are and if you are living up to them.

Only you would know what you believe in and how you would react to different stimuli. Another person’s evaluation would be based on their own value system and their perception of how it should be structured. We see ourselves and the world from the inside out, others see us from the outside in. They see a projection of us, like an actor in a play. Remember the saying, “the world is a stage and we are only actors,” well it’s true. You project what you believe to be appropriate for the particular situation. That is why it is called “action” because you become engaged as the actor in the act. Because your actions are determined by your associations and experiences. How past encounters are interpreted will establish precedence for how it effects you in the future. No two individuals will make the same judgments and have the same reactions to a given situation. Just like everyone looks different and sounds different they also see the world from a slightly different angle, color and emotion. For a person to know him/herself is to have self assurance, but then, everyone harbors some fears and doubts that they don’t know about.

You can set down and self-evaluate yourself, but your examination would be bias and would never be true in the eyes of someone else. Their examination of you would always be tainted by their own self serving eccentrics. You can only make a determination of how you are going to accept or reject any particular person or thing, but not why you made the assessment. True assessments come from a mixture of previous determinations. These are accounted as values and morals which are driven by your individual, social, financial, physical, interaction, and religious considerations. These differences are what makes you an individual. The fact is, you can know what you want but never totally why you want it. The most valuable contribution you can make to yourself is in the quality of your relationships with others. Be truthful, faithful, and diligent in all that you do. Honesty, and forthrightness, comes as a result of your doing the right thing. So, don’t worry who you are but rather concentrate on how you are.

Developing a positive attitude:

No one is guaranteed to live life in a rose garden. You are bombarded daily with stressful and negative events that there is no getting around. At times life really stinks but you still have to face the relationships, jobs, financial matters, physical fitness, religion which all pose questions and all present challenges. Each phase of life will present complexities unique to that particular period in your life. How is your inner self contending with all the complexities you face on a daily bases? You will never be completely free from challenges but by knowing yourself you can face adversities with confidence. Each life event can be met with the assurance that you can and will triumph. It is important that in the face of adversity that you are collected and maintain a positive attitude. Anything can be overcome by a person who knows what his/her limits are and with the right attitude. It is attitude, without a doubt, that is the one most important things you possess, and guess what, you are in control of it. It’s up to you how you greet the world and everyone in it. Positive is met with positive, and your positive attitude will reflect a winning personality. Let’s face it, success and failure are the same, only on opposite sides of the rule. It’s the law of cause and effect. If effects are to be changed, the cause must be altered. It’s the law, nothing personal, it’s the same for everyone.

It is easier than most think, learning the English language. I am referring to learning how to speak and spell correctly, write, and read in English. Let me share with you just how little daily time it takes and how easy it is.

Below is a daily diary of how one female student quickly and painlessly succeeded at bringing up not only her reading level but, every other academic area as well. Students must be able to decode words to read any type of material. She was failing in all of her classes because she could not read at her grade level.

I teach the same curriculum I taught to the student in the following diary. It is an excellent program for online home schooling as I teach phonics lessons combined with many years of research. It is a total reading lesson plan with reading assessment included for each age group. Regular classroom child educators are not equipped with the knowledge needed to specifically teach children to read, speak, spell and write proficiently in English.

Student Maria’s Age 15, reading, writing and spelling English at a 2nd grade level joined my class to bring her skills level up to her age group. Obviously, she had little confidence that she would succeed. After all, she had not succeeded thus far at anything in school and she is now 15 years old. She had so little faith in herself or me.

Day ONE - 10 minutes - First, I made sure that Maria knew the sounds of the letters in the alphabet, A-Z. I went through the alphabet with her and she knew each sound that each letter made.
20 minutes - I then taught Maria the basic vowel sounds. a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes, y. She learned the short sound and the long sound of each vowel. The sounds these vowels make are the knowledge base for learning the English language. Maria did not know any of the vowel sounds. She learned these vowel sounds in 20 minutes. She is already learning to read after the first 10 minute session.

Day TWO - 20 minutes - Today, I sat next to Maria as usual with our materials on the table. We had one sheet of paper with several SHORT VOWEL three-letter words on it. Some of the words are: mat, cat, tat, sat, lat, pat, jat, gat, zap, tap, it, sit, kit, lit, bit, fit, kip, pip, jip, hip, mom, Tom, jom, lom, jet, let, set, met, pup, tup, nut, etc. If you notice, some of the words are not really words at all. They are made-up words or nonsense words. It doesn’t make any difference if the words are real or not. It is the SOUNDS that the letters make together that Maria is practicing to read. She did great by the way and even laughed each time she read a nonsense word. She is now gaining the confidence that was so elusive until now.

Day THREE - 20 minutes - Maria read some LONG VOWEL words today. Some of the words are: Pete, hope, cope, joke, mope, kite, lite, mite, keep, me, tee, see, seed, meed, cape, tape, made, jade, lape, Kate, Nate, cute, lute, jupe, lupe, cake, make, etc. Nonsense words are always present. Maria had no problem in reading every word three different times. Since she knows the SOUNDS that the vowels make, she speeds right along and reads every word correctly. I made sure that she understood what distinguishes a SHORT vowel word from a LONG vowel word. For example, din is a SHORT vowel word but, if we add an “e” to it as in: dine, it is now a LONG vowel word. Examples: cut- cute, but- bute, kit- kite, din-dine, sit-site, bit-bite. It is always the same.

Day FOUR - 15 minutes - Maria had in front of her one sheet of paper with some more three-letter words. This time, the words had double consonant endings such as, hill, sill, fill, fall, jall, call, cuff, puff, pull, sull, jull, lull, buzz, fuzz, fuss, miss, kiss, tiss, biss, bell, sell, jell, etc. I used all of the vowels (a-e) in these three-letter words, a, e, i, o and u. Yes, nonsense words are also on this sheet of paper. The nonsense words are very important as Maria must correctly read all of them quickly and easily. She did a wonderful job and did not misread any words. We laughed at the nonsense words again. But, of extreme importance is the fact that Maria can learn to read. She didn’t believe in herself before now. She is looking forward to coming to class again tomorrow.

Day FIVE - 25 minutes - Today is a little different. Maria went over all of the words she has learned to read from day one with no difficulty whatsoever. She then read short stories that used all of the three-letter words (including nonsense words) she had learned. No problem at all. We laughed and laughed as the nonsense words made the short stories extremely funny. Then, we read some words that begin with “c” and “k” such as; cot, cub, kid, cab, kin, cod, etc.

The last 8 minutes of the lesson, I introduced her to some new SOUNDS. Two letters that make ONE sound. “ck” make the /k/ sound. Words Maria read were; pack, back, sack, Jack, Mack, lack, Zack, luck, duck, muck, suck, yuck, tuck, puck, nuck, lick, sick, Mick, kick, Nick, neck, peck, jeck, heck, hock, lock, jock, mock. Since she already knows the sounds of the vowels, Maria breezes through all of these words where “ck” makes ONE sound, /k/. Notice the nonsense words in the list again. She laughs at her new found ability and then starts to cry. I start to cry with her. She then hugs me and thanks me for teaching her what she never learned as a child.

Day SIX - 15 minutes - Maria is waiting at my classroom door as I am returning from lunch. I am early but, so is she. In fact, she has left her previous class early because she is so excited to learn some more about decoding in my classroom. I told Maria that she should not leave her other classes early to come to mine. But inside, I am as excited about her learning to read as she is.

Today, Maria and I sat next to each other as usual. There is one sheet of paper on the table in front of us. It has two-letter blends on it and nothing else. Maria needs to be able to say the sound that each two-letter blend makes. They included: br, cr, dr, pr, cl, bl, sl, sh, ch, etc. She went over the sounds that the two-letter blends make several times until she was able to say them quickly and easily. Maria wanted yes, WANTED me to give her some homework. How often does a student ask a teacher for homework? I asked her to take the previous sheets of words home and write a sentence using each word in the sentence. She was excited to get this homework assignment. I felt so happy inside!

Day SEVEN - 25 minutes - I could continue here with the diary but, I’m certain readers are already aware of how little time it takes per day to learn to read, write, speak and spell English proficiently.

Maria continued with me for 15-25 minutes each day, Monday - Friday for about three months. At the end of the three month period, I retested her with the Woodcock Reading Mastery Test. Her test results proved that she was now reading on level at 10th grade. Oh, the tears that came from Maria and me as we hugged.

Her new reading skills enabled her to excel in all other academic areas. Her classroom teachers came by to thank me as in their words, “Maria is a different person now”. Of course, I already knew that as I had the opportunity to watch her change each day in my classroom in adjustment to her newly found reading skills.

It’s that easy. Learning to read, speak, write and spell in English is so easy yet many believe it is a painful undertaking. Some teaching websites attempt to teach the English Language but, do not have the expertise needed for children to succeed in a short time frame.

After being a college professor for 5 years, I’ve come up with some helpful ways to help students achieve greater academic success and become smarter people in the process.

1. RESEARCH THE COURSE

   When selecting classes make sure that you do research on the course. Primarily you should be concerned with the answers to these important questions: Does the course provide you with the credits you need? Is this the right time to take this class? Does it realistically fit into your schedule? Secondarily: Is the course description congruent with what is actually taught in the class? What information do you have about the professor teaching the course? Interviewing former students who can give testimony about the class should be a part of your research as well.

2. EVALUATE THE TEACHER

   Let’s state the obvious here: a good or bad teacher can single-handedly impact your learning experience. What you want to know is if your course being taught by a general educator, or an educator with a special emphasis? Ideally, you want a teacher with an emphasis on a specific subject or related subjects such as accounting/economics or English/creative writing. The longer the teacher has taught a subject, the more likely they are to have mastered it. The teachers who are truly passionate also tend to be leaders in their fields or have author credits. They also tend to have a waiting list to get into their class. Once again, interview former students and get a first-hand accounting of their experiences so that you know what you are getting into in terms of teaching styles.

3. STUDY THE SYLLABUS

   When you attend your first day of class you will be given a syllabus which will provide you with an overview of the topics covered, reading/homework assignments, and grading criteria. Don’t just read it; study it! This will be your chance to honestly assess whether the class and/or the teacher are a good match for you. First year students tend to overestimate their ability (and time) to handle a heavy workload. Anticipate two hours of homework per class for proper study time.

4. SHARE CONTACT INFORMATION

   Choose two classmates that you can rely upon to get valuable lecture notes from if you happen to miss class. This will keep you up to date on information you may otherwise miss out on.

5. TAKE PLENTY OF NOTES

   The key to taking good notes is clarity - not abundance. Categorize your notes by topics and sub-topics. Your notes should be detailed enough to tell a complete story when you look back on them for mid-terms or finals.

6. ASK QUESTIONS

   You are ultimately responsible for how much you learn. Questions afford your teacher the opportunity to meet you half-way in the learning process. Use them as your tools of comprehension.

7. CROSS REFERENCE DATA

   On your reading assignments and in your books, highlight unfamiliar vocabulary, terminology, and names. Foreign vocabulary terms should be defined, and terminologies and names can be investigated in Google or on Wikipedia.com. Every business has a language of its own. Become fluent in yours to communicate better with your peers. This is the difference between saying “you took a class,” and “you know the subject.”

8. FIND PUBLICATIONS ON THE SUBJECT

   Classes of any kind only scratch the surface. To really gain a deeper understanding and a greater appreciation of what you are taught, find a publication on the subject. These publications (commonly called trade magazines) will help you process what you are studying and enable you to place your education in an industry context.

9. CREATE A STUDY GROUP

   Two heads are always better than one. Pick out two or three people with different personalities from yours and create a study group to meet once a week to discuss the subject matter covered in class. This is a great way to stimulate intellectual thought, challenge perspectives, and share information.

10. FIND A MENTOR

    This should be someone that you not only admire, but also want to emulate. They should have similar accomplishments that you are striving for, and be willing to help you achieve your own success. The key to finding a good mentor is to become a better student while demonstrating the promise of being a future ally.
