Hi Everyone,

I'm Danny (ISF) and Max (#2intheworld)'s brother Aaron. You've heard from me before in a poker playing related capacity when I was trying to become a poker pro. I steered away from it with very, very marginal success between July and December, cashing in the PCA 6-max event and winning a Deep Stacks event but not doing very well (kinda sucking balls) in online, 6-max cash.

I've moved onto a new path which I am really passionate about. I am in the middle of training to become a Certified Life Coach. One of the two niches that I am falling into is mental poker coaching (the other is dating and relationship coaching). I wanted to make an offer to the FTR community to give a free 30 minute session in either poker mental coaching or dating and relationship coaching. I would really love to receive some further feedback on my coaching and also develop some hours towards certification and referrals and potential clients. There is no commitment or anything like that to get the 30 minute session, just do a session with me by phone or sykpe, or in person if you live in Bay Area, and let me know what you think.

If you are interested, or have any other questions, you can PM me or write me an email to aaronfsteinberg@gmail.com.

Thanks for reading,
Aaron

Certified by whom as a life coach? And can the Commune get a demo of your abilities so we may recognize you as a Steinberg?

You mean the revolver, sir?
Precisely.

Nice Aaron. I'm sure you'll be successful at it since you already have the good mentality that it takes to be a solid golfer. I may seriously look into this later for maybe both poker and especially my baseball.

Oh... And he's a confrimed Steinberg, just as hairy at the rest of them.

Sorry guys I should have added more details. I will be certified by The Coaches Training Institute The Coaches Training Institute (CTI) as a CPCC (Certified Professional Co-Active Coach) and the International Coaching Federation International Coach Federation as an ACC (Associate Certified Coach) when all is said and done. As I said before I am still in training right now which I why I am offering some free sessions. Normally, even as I am still in training, I charge between $50 and $100 per hour.

I'm not sure what a500lbgorilla means about getting a demo. I thought I was offering a demo??? -- Some clarification please.

As for Big Red I'm assuming that means I need tits or I should get the fuck out? I guess I'll ask Danny lol.

UG's wife may need a life coach, but i think a dude being a life coach is awkward for most women.

$50 -100 hour is almost as expensive as a real twat doctor.

nayways good luck with the coaching!

Thanks for the good luck!

Yeah I could see that being true about a man for a woman. I think if any woman had a session though they would feel it didnt matter. As for the comparison with a "twat doctor" there is no sense in coaching as a replacement for therapy or gynecology etc, it's more about empowering a sense of full potential.

So... To be a certified life coach you basically just need to talk like this? j/k

Good luck with your new pursuit!

I'm assuming there's a lesson 1, let's hear it. I can't just let my commie-kids go off to private sessions with relative strangers. Well, with a relative of some strange twins. I have to protect these guys from predators and all that jazz. It's a wild internet out there.

There is no lesson 1 really because it's totally on the clients agenda. If you wanted to work on tilting then we would address that on your own variations of tilting. It's totally person specific.

It really depends on the person. I've had people come to me about feeling unfulfilled in their relationship, wondering if it's normal to have doubts but also have a lot of love, wanting to find someone but not knowing how, feeling like every time they are with someone they get hurt, someone talked to me about the possibilities outside the realm of "normal" monogamous relationships. Basically anything sex, dating, and relationship related.
