Coaching and Training

Ethan Time is an expert in personal coaching technologies, speaker, writer and martial arts coach.  He’s a contributor to the soon to be published book Action of Mind by life coach and hypnotist Michael Giles and is authoring his own book on personal excellence guided by his experience in life coaching and his lifetime of experience training in old Japanese martial arts.

Ethan is simply the most effective and helpful coach I’ve met. He can be considered a master at helping people discover solutions. As a model of personal integrity, he respects the individual needs and values of others and gently helps people to find their own answers inside of them. I wholeheartedly recommend his coaching to anyone who genuinely wants to make their life better.  - Michael Giles, Life Coach

Being at the right place at the right time, Ethan overheard an off-the-cuff comment about Tony Robbins in April of 1995 that led him on a path of constant study of life coaching techniques, NLP and Ericksonian Hypnosis.  These new skills allowed him to integrate the ancient meditative skills learned since his youth in ways that have proven effective, elegant and simple for himself and his clients.

My Perspective

There’s nothing better than the feeling of going to bed each night knowing that family is cared for, the the people around you are safer because you are there and that you are serving your community.  That’s my first assumption about you: that you care and want the best for yourself and those around you.

My personal coaching is based on the assumption that you are doing your best and that you recognize the desires and needs for positive changes, and you know, or at least suspect,  that a coach can be a useful tool for you to use.

My group coaching and seminars are based on the idea that you feel like your group or company could use a boost in some area, you’ve heard about coaching and maybe you or some company you know has even had a positive experience already.  You’re looking for a fresh perspective and you hope for something other than the tired old same messages.

In either case, thank you for finding me.

What’s It All About?

Self-help, self-hypnosis, persuasion, self-coaching, covert hypnosis…  you can have and use all of those things.  I will teach you much of that.  But why stop there?  If you knew that you had that chance right now to live impeccably, as a Warrior walking with integrity in the world, fearless, facing every challenge life presents with – would you do it?  Would you try that path?  I think you would.  You’ll see then that the techniques and methods I show are for a larger purpose, to guide your mindset to one of greater fluidity, openness and resourcefulness.

The life improvement techniques parts of what I do are really all about just that, improving your life in methodical ways.  You can be at the top of the world, looking for even better ways of living life, or you could be what you think is an average person hoping to achieve greatness for yourself, your family or community.  The methods I show you are simple and reliable.  You’ll be learning elegant techniques to change your state of mind in ways that make you resourceful in ways that I think will happily surprise you.  Using your new skills I expect you to be able to look at your life’s situations and take advantage of opportunities that will allow you to excel in any area of your choice.

I’m told that it’s customary to have some bullet points outlining the things that you will learn.  So here they are.  Just remember, this it is partially about the specific techniques, and it’s mostly about developing a mindset that encourages fluidity in your thinking, quicker and more creative problem solving skills, and confidence that you will persevere through tough times.

You will  learn to…

• Get Grounded and Focused!
  The first step is to get a firm command of your goals and perceived challenges.  Working to create clear, well defined outcomes, you’ll continue with a stronger sense of purpose.
• Get Creative and Find Your Tools!
  Take a step back and away to get a big picture view of the situations and the changes that are about to happen. You’ll know what tools you’ll need to reach your goals and live your dreams.
• Do Big Things and Embrace Life!
  Confidently moving forward with solutions and experiments to gain ground and make big changes
• Deftly Handle Challenges!
  Smartly and elusively avoiding and overcoming obstacles and allowing potential trouble to blow right past you so that you can reach your destination.
• Integrate, Adapt and Succeed!
  Incorporating all of your previous learning into a new way of resourcefully reaching goals and overcoming challenges. Using techniques in your own new ways.

Another one of my goals is to offer you originality. Will everything you learn from me all be original?  No.  I’ve been too influenced in incredibly positive ways by some great coaches and leaders in the field of personal coaching to be totally independent of their ideas.  I consider this a good thing.  There are some standard methods and philosophies that need to be in a practice like this.  What I will offer you are my perspectives, old school methods mixed with new techniques that you will find refreshing and pragmatic.

Now here’s a question: are you feeling just so-so?

They way I see it is that people often want to jump from everyday life into super hero status.  I would love to as well!  But that just isn’t practical when their daily decisions are mediocre at best – and we know when we have made poor choices, don’t we?  We find out somehow and then beat ourselves up about it.  That starts a viscous cycle of trying our best to live our daily lives, feeling like some things are a failure, followed by guilt, and an impatient desire to have all of it change in an instant.

People allow themselves to be ruled by work life, aggressive drivers, doldrums, other people’s whims, and the status quo.  The first step then is to start to make good choices and to think more openly and strategically.  From there, after you’ve moved from mediocre to clear and ready, you are then positioned to step up from feeling boring and dull with few resources into a life of opportunity and greatness.  Now, don’t be fooled, you might think that you’re just a so-so person, but I bet you’re deluding yourself.  You might be great and not know it yet…

Here’s a hint: we’re sometimes too hard on ourselves.  No kidding, right?  The very fact that you’re reading these words tells me that there’s a seed inside you that knows there’s more to life than ‘average’ or ‘unresourceful!’  Congratulations, you’re about to read a meet someone (me) that will help you to change around your own life in ways that will delight you.

Here’s another question: are you already awesome?

Yes, you are, aren’t you?  I’m happy to know that.  You either already know the value of coaching or are intrigued by the idea, or you wouldn’t be here on my site right now.

Here’s stuff I will do for you.  You’ll learn from me ancient and modern coaching techniques that I’ve distilled and concentrated here so that you will achieve the next level of fantastic.  Philosophers and martial artists have been using the contained techniques over the centuries to gain more clarity and focus, and modern coaches have been using these skills to elicit growth for a few decades now.  I bring my expertise in coaching here for your use.

I’m here for you.

Follow some simple steps and see improvement.  It’s that simple.
