This book fully describes the proven techniques that people like you can use to help other people: coaches, social workers, educators, consultants, therapists and psychotherapists, counsellors, mentors, support professionals, and trainers. It is a book that will make you more effective in helping and serving others.

In this book, I share what I have learned in the past seven years from my coaching practice with clients, none of which was taught to me by the schools I attended all my life.

Although I am not a therapist or consultant, I wrote this guide because it can serve as a useful and practical manual for people who care about others and who desire to help them.

For purposes of this book, I will use the term “coach” to refer to all those people who help others. While personal coaches have different methods of working with clients and their specific roles may vary from one client to the next, this term will be used universally for the sake of simplicity. Understand that using the term “coach” as a generalised notion is like describing the same practical emotions of your clients.

So each time you read the word "coach", remember that it applies to you if you are a therapist, adviser, counsellor, educator, consultant, mentor, psychotherapist; in short, a "professional.” As for the term “client”, remember that it can refer to a patient, student, or someone seeking advice or needing assistance in some way.

What I have written comes from my professional experience as a coach. The principles that I have learned apply to all the professions I mentioned above.

Again, this book is for practitioners of various professions who share one thing in common: helping people make changes to improve their lives. You may not identify with the term "coach" but if you consider yourself a professional who provides help to others in any given context, this book can help you, regardless of the nature of your work.

When I use the word "conscious," I am not referring to the mental understanding of clients and their problems. I refer to their emotional and spiritual "understanding." From my point of view, "a conscious coach" does not rely solely on knowledge of the techniques of the profession acquired in a trade school, but is based on an understanding and awareness of your deepest self.

The conscious person is someone who has examined his inner self and has developed an inner life that will help in developing relationships with others.

"Coaching for Daily Miracles®" is a book with a solid foundation, filled with both practical and spiritual guidance. As you can see, I have combined the pragmatic word - "coaching" – with another short spiritual word - "miracles."

I think life is a mixture of what is manifested and not manifested, or is a mixture of external and internal actions.

There is room for logic and magic!

From quantum physics I learned that matter is a product of consciousness and that which is not manifested constitutes the foundation and basis of what is manifested. Ancient wisdom books from the East have confirmed this. This highly interesting work condenses this fusion of the material and immaterial.

I have organised this book into two parts:

The first part consists of practical and tested material to jumpstart your successful career as a coach.

The second part is where I discuss - in depth – what kinds of people meaningfully help others, and how they do very well both professionally and personally because of this personal commitment to help others.

If you want to help others but do not know how, or fear that you’re not able to, this book will help you. The first part discusses how to do business with your clients; the second part is where you create miracles.

Before you finish reading this book, you will understand that it is necessary for people helping other people to develop a higher level of consciousness if they want to be effective and develop successful careers. There is no alternative.

Why did I write Coaching for Daily Miracles®? This book was based in part on A Course in Miracles by the U.S. Foundation for Inner Peace. It has been my path towards personal transformation. It has helped me more as a person and has inspired my writings. It has helped me understand myself and my neighbours; it is the material I use most frequently in my professional coaching when clients come to my office (I use it even more than all the traditional techniques I learned in school and from all the books I've read on coaching).

This is why I decided on the title Coaching for Daily Miracles®. I can assure you that I have witnessed many "miracles" after my clients made changes in their lives.

To me, a miracle happens when a perception changes about a problem and in which solutions are sought. Solutions are unnecessary because the problem disappears. The miracle here is that the problem never existed in the first place.

My three promises to you:

If you consistently apply the proven principles in this book

• Promise # 1: Your practice and client consultation will fill to capacity, and your professional coaching becomes a standard in the market, as it happened in my case. You will win more clients!
• Promise # 2: You will double your income within 12 months, the way I have done over the years. You will earn more revenue.
• Promise # 3: You will become more effective in your practice to help others, because you shorten the process of change and improvement in people, the way I did with myself by doing it daily. You become a more effective coach.

What you learn from this book will help you fill your professional consultation schedule with more clients, increase your sales significantly, and of course…your bank account!

But the most important thing is that your heart will be filled with satisfaction as you become passionate about helping others; from that point, your earning abilities and lifestyle will satisfy you emotionally. When you coach and help others, it no longer is a means of survival, but a super, emotionally rewarding life!

It saddens me when so many people with lots of goodwill and talent help others, but do not know how to help themselves when it comes to achieving economic progress and moving forward with a successful project. This is one reason I wrote this book.

I'd be very happy to leave my profession as a coach when this role turns irrelevant, and when everyone is fully capable in achieving their dreams without professional assistance. I consider my profession as a “conscious coach” temporary, but because I love it, I would like to continue doing it for a slightly longer period of time. When that happens, humans will no longer put limits and obstacles, or encounter barriers to their dreams and desires. Consequently, they enter into a phase where they achieve their dreams most naturally and spontaneously. The miracles shall cease to be commonplace and normal.

That's my big dream.
