Underemphasis on Classical Coaching Techniques in the Quantum Success Coaching Academy's Curriculum

The basic coaching format that the QSCA taught us was this:

1. Ask the client how they are doing on a scale of 1 to 10, to get a sense of where they are holding on the “vibrational scale” (i. e. how positive they are). 
2. Ask them what their intention is for the call, (i.e., what they want to resolve in their life that will be the topic of the call), and maybe a powerful question (i.e. an open ended question with no right or wrong answers) to help them gain more clarity and think of a solution.
3. Guide them through a Law of Attraction exercise (explained below) to help them achieve emotional relief and come into “vibrational alignment” with their desire (explained below.) 
4. Ask them what they are taking away from the exercise, to help them “lock in the learning” through self reflection. 
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until they have come significantly closer to being in “vibrational alignment” with their desire.
6. Ask them what practice or plan they are willing to commit to to progress toward achieving their desire after the call has ended, and have them commit to it.
7. Ask them what they are taking away from the session.

The “Law of Attraction exercises” (called “coaching processes” by the QSCA) of Step 3 are short psychological practices that cause one to focus on what one wants and to become inspired to attain it (what the QSCA calls “getting into vibrational alignment with one’s desires”). Most of these exercises are described in “Ask and It Is Given,” a book by Abraham-Hicks, where they are referred to as “games” because they are uplifting and “fun.” The QSCA curriculum, whose stated goal is for students to become certified Law of Attraction coaches, emphasises them strongly, for they are the “Law of Attraction” part of Law of Attraction Coaching. As you can see from Step 5, in the coaching formula above, that calls for their repetition, they are the main part of the coaching formula. Much more time in the curriculum is devoted to teaching them (7 classes in Module 2, and several more in later modules) than to teaching other coaching techniques, such as asking powerful questions (1 class, see Step 2, above) or creating a plan of action (0 classes). The rationale for this prioritization is, as the QSCA says, because these exercises are what “bring clients results,” for, through them, clients come into closer “vibrational alignment” with their desires, and, consequently, the Universe brings their desires to them. This is fine if you believe wholeheartedly in the Law of Attraction, but if you aren’t completely sold on it, you may find it disappointing that more time in the curriculum is not devoted to teaching the more classical coaching techniques, like asking powerful questions, brainstorming, and creating plans of action. 

My advice:
In considering whether to become a student at the QSCA, I recommend that you get a copy of “Ask and It is Given” and read it. See whether its message and tone resonate with you, for much of the QSCA curriculum is based on it. Also, practice its “games.” If the QSCA is going to be your coach training program, then it is important that you believe in their efficacy.
