Now here's my story:

I wanted to let everyone know that I'm raising the price on our B\Coach Training System next week.

I told people that I was going to change the price yesterday, but I'm working night and day on my http://www.cprforthesoul.com/countdown book project.

Since I'm not a structured person, I use little milestones like "raising a price" to go in and tweak my site, salesletter and such. This takes time which is why I haven't gotten the price updated yet.

Before next week, or when I get the price changed, here's what you currently get for $997 at http://www.b-coach.com:

-26 weeks of developmental business coach training (rather than the 13 noted)...which culminates in a retreat in Jackson Hole, Wyoming in Aug of 2006 (just so you know this retreat where graduation is held and has a fee of $499 if you're figuring direct and indirect costs).

And by the way, I'm teaching the training and I designed the model. We already have people from more than 5 countries in the cohort that starts Jan 30, 2006!

You also get (if you get there before the price goes up and I change the offering):

-My CoachCertified(tm) System Training which will be taught twice before you graduate, so there is some flexibility. You can view detiails on it here: http://www.coachcertified.com.

And, last but not least, you get to work with one of our CCS Coaches for 13 weeks in your own coaching individualized coaching program and work on what's important to you--experiencing the system, rather than just being told what it's supposed to do.

All of our training is backed up on audio, so if you miss a session or two, you can catch up. We have multiple sections and we pioneered "practice" coaching as action learning, LONG BEFORE the rest of coaching figured out, that in order to train coaches, you need them to coach and receive feedback.

As I've said many times, "You Don't Learn Coaching Through Your Neo-Cortex, You Learn Coaching Through Your Limbic System!"

Some people as you know are trying to make out like they invented practice coaching during training and we've been doing this since the 90s, which is probably why we have more coaches who we've trained, working as coaches instead of starving and eventually having to go back and get a real job they hate!

Ok, I just wanted to get this note out to you, this offer isn't for most of you, because most people don't take this kind of stuff serious enough to really do the things necessary to build a successful practice.

But here's my promise:

If you're interested in building a great, I mean a truly rewarding life around coaching and consulting, I can show you how to do it.

Get started at http://www.b-coach.com

Quite frankly, my story is this.

Back in 96, I was traveling all over the world, doing coaching and consulting, I had been since 1988.

My wife of 20+ years and I decided that we would be better off if we parted ways and allow the kids to live with whomever. THEY CHOSE ME, under one condition, I had to stop traveling and stay at home for the 4 years while they were in highschool.

So, I officially retired and became Mr. Mom and Mr. Dad, which of course, as you might guess, I wouldn't trade for all the tea in china!

We moved to a small town where I went to elementary school of 1900 people.

Guess what?

Dad had to figure out how to leverage himself using the Internet and Telephone, around the schedule of two busy, very active girls, no less. Anybody else got or had that issue?

That's where I got my new appreciation for women, especially mom's with kids in school, whew, what a workout they gave me, although they probably didn't see it that way...I think the words "tyrant" were often used to describe my leadership style.

Of course that to me seems better to me now than a "dictitorial steamroller" which has been described on some of my leadership assessments, yikes!

In any case, they and I survived and I learned how to create a global coaching and consulting business from a small town in the middle of no where. I still live here in Mitchell, Nebraska, with no plans to move in the future, although there's a good chance I'll show up near you at some point<G>.

I know what it takes to become successful as an independent business person, if you want some help along those lines and you want to position yourself to enjoy your life and work--while you're living--then spending the $997 it takes to get in now. It is chicken feed, as we say out here in farm country, compared to what awaits you in return.

Now, that's my story, what's yours?

Feel free to email me, or better yet, go to http://www.b-coach.com and sign up for the free consultation, we'll walk you through the questions and issues you have to see if we're a fit for each other.

P.S. Oh, and btw, if you want to support my work, I'm now conducting a private reserve sale for my new book before it launches later this month: http://www.cprforthesoul.com/private [Got to pay the rent you know<G>]

P.P.S. I built a couple of online scrapbooks for my kids if you're interested, I mean, what's a mom supposed to do, right?

http://www.ktjay.com and http://www.alijay.com I think the ole tyrant did a pretty good job, don't you?

Actually, before anything goes to my head...Researcher: JUDITH RICH HARRIS,
Independent Investigator and Theoretician; Author, The Nurture Assumption puts forward her dangerous idea which I got from here: http://www.edge.org/q2006/q06_6.html

Before I let you read her idea, which I wish every parent was able to read and understand, this material was also pointed out in Stephen Pinker's BLANK SLATE.

I won't go into a diatribe here, but just so you know, our kids manage whether we do or not, and not because we don't per se, so give yourself a break, kids don't come with operating manuals, be the best person you can be, or were meant to be and the rest will take care of itself, even if at times, it appears tyrannical!

P.P.S. Our Youth Coaching Program starts in February, if you have a son or daughter and you live anywhere in the world and want them to be exposed to developmental coaching, we have a program being announced in a few weeks, when I get to that on my list...for 15-20 yr olds, led by our youngest COACH2 Graduate from India Pushpa Saran and for 20 somethings led by my daughter Katy. Drop me a note if you want more info on that or stay tuned for the announcement in the coming weeks.

Now, enjoy Dr. Harris:

The idea of zero parental influence

Is it dangerous to claim that parents have no power at all (other than genetic) to shape their child's personality, intelligence, or the way he or she behaves outside the family home? More to the point, is this claim false? Was I wrong when I proposed that parents' power to do these things by environmental means is zero, nada, zilch?

A confession: When I first made this proposal ten years ago, I didn't fully believe it myself. I took an extreme position, the null hypothesis of zero parental influence, for the sake of scientific clarity. Making myself an easy target, I invited the establishment — research psychologists in the academic world — to shoot me down. I didn't think it would be all that difficult for them to do so. It was clear by then that there weren't any big effects of parenting, but I thought there must be modest effects that I would ultimately have to acknowledge.

The establishment's failure to shoot me down has been nothing short of astonishing. One developmental psychologist even admitted, one year ago on this very website, that researchers hadn't yet found proof that "parents do shape their children," but she was still convinced that they will eventually find it, if they just keep searching long enough.

Her comrades in arms have been less forthright. "There are dozens of studies that show the influence of parents on children!" they kept saying, but then they'd somehow forget to name them — perhaps because these studies were among the ones I had already demolished (by showing that they lacked the necessary controls or the proper statistical analyses). Or they'd claim to have newer research that provided an airtight case for parental influence, but again there was a catch: the work had never been published in a peer-reviewed journal. When I investigated, I could find no evidence that the research in question had actually been done or, if done, that it had produced the results that were claimed for it. At most, it appeared to consist of preliminary work, with too little data to be meaningful (or publishable).

Vaporware, I call it. Some of the vaporware has achieved mythic status. You may have heard of Stephen Suomi's experiment with nervous baby monkeys, supposedly showing that those reared by "nurturant" adoptive monkey mothers turn into calm, socially confident adults. Or of Jerome Kagan's research with nervous baby humans, supposedly showing that those reared by "overprotective" (that is, nurturant) human mothers are more likely to remain fearful.
Researchers like these might well see my ideas as dangerous. But is the notion of zero parental influence dangerous in any other sense? So it is alleged. Here's what Frank Farley, former president of the American Psychological Association, told a journalist in 1998:

[Harris's] thesis is absurd on its face, but consider what might happen if parents believe this stuff! Will it free some to mistreat their kids, since "it doesn't matter"? Will it tell parents who are tired after a long day that they needn't bother even paying any attention to their kid since "it doesn't matter"?

Farley seems to be saying that the only reason parents are nice to their children is because they think it will make the children turn out better! And that if parents believed that they had no influence at all on how their kids turn out, they are likely to abuse or neglect them.

Which, it seems to me, is absurd on its face. Most chimpanzee mothers are nice to their babies and take good care of them. Do chimpanzees think they're going to influence how their offspring turn out? Doesn't Frank Farley know anything at all about evolutionary biology and evolutionary psychology?

My idea is viewed as dangerous by the powers that be, but I don't think it's dangerous at all. On the contrary: if people accepted it, it would be a breath of fresh air. Family life, for parents and children alike, would improve. Look what's happening now as a result of the faith, obligatory in our culture, in the power of parents to mold their children's fragile psyches. Parents are exhausting themselves in their efforts to meet their children's every demand, not realizing that evolution designed offspring — nonhuman animals as well as humans — to demand more than they really need. Family life has become phony, because parents are convinced that children need constant reassurances of their love, so if they don't happen to feel very loving at a particular time or towards a particular child, they fake it. Praise is delivered by the bushel, which devalues its worth.

Children have become the masters of the home.

And what has all this sacrifice and effort on the part of parents bought them? Zilch. There are no indications that children today are happier, more self-confident, less aggressive, or in better mental health than they were sixty years ago, when I was a child — when homes were run by and for adults, when physical punishment was used routinely, when fathers were generally unavailable, when praise was a rare and precious commodity, and when explicit expressions of parental love were reserved for the deathbed.

Is my idea dangerous? I've never condoned child abuse or neglect; I've never believed that parents don't matter. The relationship between a parent and a child is an important one, but it's important in the same way as the relationship between married partners. A good relationship is one in which each party cares about the other and derives happiness from making the other happy. A good relationship is not one in which one party's central goal is to modify the other's personality.

I think what's really dangerous — perhaps a better word is tragic — is the establishment's idea of the all-powerful, and hence all-blamable, parent.
