The art of avoiding cyber scams

Scams are everywhere, and even inasmuch as this fact is denied, many people still unsuspectingly fall for them. Being victimized by such scams is a great deterrent to success, and life coaches, such as Marc Accetta and Linda Deming Ratcliff, could not emphasize this further.

Unfortunately, scams evolve with time, and with the current influence of the Internet phenomenon, these scams have reached a stage where it can become global in scale, with the number of targets reaching to millions.

Remarkably, avoiding these cyber scams is just easy. Just be sure to remember the following tips before surfing the information superhighway:

• Don’t share your email address or any personal information for that matter. In most web 2.0 sites, it has become a trend to ask people to invite their friends by providing their email address and password. This must ALWAYS be avoided, as this is the surest way to enlist your contacts in an endless cycle of spamming. This is, of course, secondary to that fact that giving your personal account details to the wrong person may forever jeopardize your online safety. Some pieces of information, such as your social security number and credit card number, should NEVER be divulged to just anybody online.

• "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is." This age-old maxim has taken on a newer meaning with the advent of online fraudulence, as countless scam artists have found a better way to leverage the Internet toward exploiting many a user’s credulity. Be wary of listings and advertisements claiming to provide bucket loads of cash for an effortless job, as most of them turn out to be shams.

• Take advantage of modern security features in browsers. It is important to make sure that the sites being visited are certified trustworthy, and modern web browsers, such as Chrome and Firefox, contain enhanced support to check on these certificates at the click of an icon. Moreover, these browsers also contain anti-phishing and anti-malware software for maximum security.

The Johari Window: A life coaching tool

Image credit: underside.wordpress.com

The Johari Window is a concept created by Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingham in 1955. Soon after, it became one of the most widely used tools for self-awareness, personal motivation, and personal advancement. Anyone, including personal and business coaches, can use this tool for self-assessment.

Like any other model, the Johari Window is intuitive and simple to understand, making it easy for coaches to use. It helps them to push their boundaries to become open, share more, and ultimately seek honest feedback from others. They can also discover things they didn’t know they have and use these bits of information in any form of communication, especially when they want to persuade people.

Benefit on clients

As life coaches like T. Harv Eker, Bob Doyle, and Marc Accetta see the scams and ruts of life as challenges and use them as tools to help others, they can make good use of the Johari Window model. This is possible by teaching their clients the importance of self-disclosure, and showing how others’ feedback can help them grow, both personally and professionally.

The Johari Window-based assessment for coaches is not only a perfect way to look into their strengths and weaknesses in coaching, but also a great method of understanding and leading others to life improvement.
