Why Blunt Coach is Different.
Apart from the obvious in his direct style of presentation, the Blunt Coach is a believer in a Holistic approach to Teaching, meaning the belief that the parts of something are intimately interconnected, and explicable only by reference to the whole.
This means that in order to improve any single part of your life, you must first understand that single part in relation to the entirety of your life, and only by understanding and focusing on the interconnections, can you create real, lasting change.
Buddhism says; "the one contains the many, and the many contain the one", in other words, we can't understand anything in isolation from its environment.
Its the way the parts fit together that determine the performance of any system, and not how they perform taken separately.
The finest automobile parts lying on a garage floor will never produce a vehicle capable of its true function, and if the components are from different manufacturers, then even with the best mechanic in the world, they won't fit together as a car.
Individual areas of expertise have destroyed any chance we ever had of creating optimal human performance, and none more so than in Life Coaching.
To tackle the mind for example, by approaching it as an independent system located from the neck up, but without any understanding of circadian rhythms, hormones, diet, nutrition, exercise, or electromagnetic pollution for starters, is the reason NLP, traditional therapies, and mainstream life coaching, has proven to be as worthless as they have been.
Blunt Coach has openly stated; "after 40 years, we still have NLP practitioners who cant tie their own shoelaces", meaning unhealthy, fat, poor, and emotionally bankrupt practitioners, all valiantly trying to save the world, whilst evidently unable to save themselves first!
Even the founder of NLP was unable to defeat his own drug addiction, and hilariously, is still obese, and a chain smoker!
This disconnection from the holistic approach has led us to dietitians, nutritionists, fitness coaches, health gurus, wealth creation specialists, motivational coaches, and of course the psychology babble brigade mentioned above, all of which view the world from their own narrow viewpoint, while none of them understands the first fucking thing about any of the other disciplines, nor the many more needed to truly be of service to mankind.
To render this kind of truly holistic service requires 40 to 50 years of both daily study, and practical participation in both life and coaching before the 'Graduate' would ever be in a position to accept money for services rendered as a Life Coach.
The facts are, that for obvious reasons, most Life Coaches are embarrassed to report 10% or less as their success figures, right alongside with Alcoholics Anonymous, and any other traditional therapies, and with the prison reform service still with 50% of re-offenders, this should clearly demonstrate to us, that the current life coaching model for lasting transformational change, is either fundamentally broken, or completely absent!
This is because, regardless of the various life dilemmas we can all find ourselves in, be it alcoholism, depression, obesity, poverty or cancer, 10% of people in any such group will sort their problems or illness's out on their own accord, all by themselves, and without the need for any intervention whatsoever (official figures for cancer are actually nearer 30%).
So if a coach or institution published data indicating even a 20% success rate, which is still pretty poor, then quite possibly half those in the group or therapy should be discounted.
But with just a 10% success rate, it beggars belief as to why the coach or therapist even bothers to get out of bed in the mornings, though clients who obviously have helped themselves, will often be gracious enough to credit the therapist or organization for the 'recovery', or 'improvement', merely as a way of justifying the time and expense invested in the therapy.
It's not that the level of ability needed to effect lasting personal change is non-existent, it's that very few living people are willing to go to the lengths needed to achieve this level, and why there are currently no more than 10 truly holistic, and sincere Life Coaches in the world.
Worse still, should any of these true Life Coaches come to the attention of governments, the media, or the great unwashed public, they are most often tarred with the same brush as anyone else in the; 'Bored Housewife, Life Coaching, NLP Industry', and paid and respected accordingly.
Or, instead of being invited with open arms into our education, medical, and prison reform systems, they are viewed as a direct threat to the very educators, psychologists, shareholders and advisers, who currently pollute those exact critical institutions.
Where flawed or outdated science is involved, and with educators tragically disconnected from the 'Big Picture' by isolated expertise in narrow fields of speciality and sub specialities, the flawed, outdated, and even fraudulent science, goes unnoticed for decades.
Meanwhile, people are sick and dying, or perhaps sick and tired, struggling, unhappy, unfulfilled, frustrated and angry, while our educators, healers, and so-called leaders become further invested in the bogus bullshit with each passing moment, to the point where, by the time our 'Professionals' wake up and smell the coffee, it's almost impossible to execute the much needed 'U-Turn', on just about everything they've studied and practiced for decades.
In an ever-increasing litigious, dog eat dog society, no one wants to be blamed or sued for negligence, intellectual laziness or malpractice, and under that threat the safest place to be is still with the herd, chewing the same grass from the same old textbooks.
So we observe how even potentially great people, can remain super-glued to the hip of the current thinking, and flawed methods of other mainstream doctors, dietitians, nutritionists, fitness trainers, therapists, counsellors, wealth creationists, teachers, life coaches and so on.
Those who do 'break from the pack' are at a huge risk from predators, not only from the litigation angle but from the very institutions who they used to rely upon to 'watch their backs'.
Professional bodies will seek to crucify anyone who dares to speak out or upset the current model, be it medical, physical, psychological or otherwise.
Although anyone with eyes, ears, and a working brain can perceive that somethings obviously not working, it still remains immensely profitable to all concerned, to leave it just where it is.
The problem for any 'Pioneers', or those with the balls and ethics to step up to the plate and actually cast the spotlight on the flawed methods in an unfavorable light, is that those pioneers often end up 'Scalped'.
