Four Summer Programs for Coaches

Summer is a popular time to focus on your own learning and growth, as well as get ready for your own launches of new programming for the fall.

Here are four upcoming programs I am offering which may be of interest to you:

Group Coaching Essentials (accredited for 6.75 CCEs with the ICF) Upcoming Programs start:
July 2011:
Wednesdays 10:30 -11:45 am Eastern/New York/Toronto:
July 13, 20, 27, August 3, and 10, 2011
August 2011:
Thursdays 10:30 - 11:45 am Eastern
August 4, 11, 18, 25 and September 1, 2011

Each month I work with a small group of coaches (maximum 6-8) in the Group Coaching Essentials program. The program covers tools, exercises and resources to support coaches with the design, marketing and implementation of their own group coaching programs. We look at both in person and virtual (web and phone) based programs, as well as tips for groups from the general public and organizations. The program includes 5 x 75 minute calls, access to lazer/laser(15 minute) 1-1 calls with me (at no additional cost), and an 80 page manual (delivered in weekly modules). Benefit from the accountability and structure of the program to get your own group coaching program going! Note that pricing will increase to $375 US and CDN for programs starting in September.

"I love programs that give you lots of useable takeaways. By that, I mean that I can use the materials I receive immediately in my business. The Group Coaching Essentials program gave me just that. Not only has it jump started my group coaching offerings, it will pay for itself many times over in the additional revenue I will generate."
