A Life Coach?! Life Coaching?!
Welcome to GottaGettaCoach!, Inc.

So how about YOU?! Are YOU ready for a life coach? Are YOU ready for life coaching? (That you're reading this suggests that you very well might be.)
 

Know that life coaching - and choosing a coach - is a very personal thing. That's because it's not something that's done TO you. No, it's very much a PARTICIPATIVE activity. YOU are very much front-and-center. Indeed, life coaching is all about you having deeper and more meaningful conversations with yourself. Privately. Without filters. Without worry. And without friends, family, and colleagues telling you what they think you should do.

So, what do you need to get started with a life coach?

Well, first and foremost, you have to realize that it really IS time and you really ARE ready notwithstanding any voices screaming to the contrary! It's a mind shift, to be sure, but not nearly as difficult of one as you may think. It's really just allowing yourself nay, giving yourself permission to BE ready. Set? Go!

It's really that simple. Simple, but important. So ARE you ready?!

You may be surprised to learn that 1-on-1 telephone coaching really is a particularly effective personal development process. When being coached by phone, the conversations tend to be much more focused than when in person, with far fewer distractions from what matters. They also tend to be far more personal because with no one else being "physically" there with you, the privacy needed for true, honest, self-reflection, awareness, and growth, is greatly enhanced. They also tend to be surprisingly more productive in that they're entirely focused on you, You, YOU, and only YOU!

And, since they're by phone, they're wonderfully more convenient, as well! Indeed, no matter where your coach is, you can be in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Diego, Dallas, San Antonio, Detroit, Indianapolis, San Francisco, Jacksonville, Columbus, Austin, Baltimore, Milwaukee, Boston, Washington DC, Seattle, Denver, Charlotte, Cleveland, Kansas City, Atlanta, or Minneapolis. Or in Ontario or British Columbia Canada, Zurich or Geneva Switzerland. Or in London or other parts of England. Or in France, Sydney Australia, Singapore, Jamaica -- or anywhere in between, for that matter -- and you're STILL just a phone call away!

So, okay, who is Barry Zweibel? What's he about?

Simply said, I'm someone who totally believes that coaching is what I was meant to do. And, after years (decades?) of ignoring that notion in hopes it would go away, I quit my high-paying job (in 2000) as an executive in the telecommunications world to get fully trained and certified by the Coaches Training Institute (CTI). It took more than a year to complete, but it culminated in me earning my Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC) credential by completing 116 hours of coursework, and passing a comprehensive, day-long, written exam and two live and unscripted coaching demonstrations, to fully test and vet my understanding of the CTI coaching model and my overall competency as a CPCC.

Moving forward, I've since met all of the peer-review requirements for each of the three levels of certification available from the the International Coach Federation, earning  my ACC (Associate Certified Coach) in 2002, a PCC (Professional Certified Coach) in 2004, and the coveted MCC (Master Coach Certification) in 2007, which is widely recognized as Gold Standard of coaching certifications. Only 2% of coaches, worldwide, have achieved the MCC distinction.

Now widely regarded as a noted certified executive coach, leadership consultant, and master-certified life coach, from the Chicago area, I'm often sought as a Subject Matter Expert on a variety of personal and professional development topics, and have been quoted in, and interviewed for, a wide variety of print and on-line publications.

More important than what I say about myself, though, are the endorsements and testimonials of my clients, as below:

So IS it time?!

ARE you ready?!
 

Special Note: Due to ongoing commitments, I am not always able to always start working with new clients immediately. If you're interested in working with me, and my client roster is full, I can certainly add you to my waiting list.

But, if you'd rather not, I can refer you to other highly-qualified coaches who are at-the-ready to work with you right away. To insure that these referrals are of superior caliber, each has been personally recruited, vetted, and selected by me, Barry Zweibel. And, through a set of exclusive referral agreements with these coaches, referrals can be offered to you without cost or obligation the coaches pay GGCI a nominal commission as part of the program.

Or, you can ask to be added to my waiting list!
