Great News for Coaches Who Are Building Their Practices!

 
Are you a coach, but don't have enough coaching clients? Do you know coaching is your calling, but you still feel like a fraud when you call yourself one? Do you wish you had more credibility, experience, and skill?

Coaching is a fantastic new profession, but most coaches find it hard to break into the business and that's why I designed the Experienced Coach Program TM .

I'm Julia Stewart, Life Fitness & Mentor Coach, and I want to tell you all about the program that gives lots of coaches the confidence, skill and experience they need to present themselves as coaches in today's market, and at the same time, gives them the sales, marketing and business skills they really need, plus referrals, testimonials, and most important, CLIENTS!!

Thomas J. Leonard, the father of coaching, wrote on several occasions that if he were a new coach and wanted to develop his skills and credibility, he would simply coach 100 people in two years, some once, some for the whole two years, but THAT‘S IT! Because, he said, you learn everything you really need to know from your clients! So I decided to design this program as an environment that would help coaches do just that and make it flexible and affordable enough that anyone, from brand-new coaches, to coaches who already have some experience can use it easily, benefit from it greatly, and last, but not least, Afford It!

There are five key features of this innovative program, #1 I'll help you set a goal to coach 100 people within a realistic amount of time. Each client can be coached just once in a complimentary session or as an ongoing client. #2 is a series of 25 classes that teach you everything from how to invite prospects to complimentary sessions, to how to give successful complimentary sessions, to how to leverage every prospect into a client, referral, or even a testimonial. #3 is an automatic online feedback system that will instantly provide you with valuable feedback from every client that you coach. #4 is the Certified Experienced TM designation that I'll award you when you've finished coaching 100 people. #5 will be affiliate and licensing programs, so you can easily make your money back (and then some!)

"As a somewhat "experienced coach", I will always want the camaraderie and support of working with a team / group. Life coaching is a dynamic and synergistic experience that I want to share with the world. Working with Julia in the Experienced Coach Program has been a gift - what a wonderful motivation to work with more and more new people, and have the benefit of the evaluations as an added benefit! I've gotten two new clients in just over a month with her program. Thanks, Julia."

Here are ten key points, to help you understand how the program works:

Ten Key Points About the
Experienced Coach Program

You'll be committing yourself to coaching 100 people within two years, from the time you start. This means you'll coach an average of one new person each week to finish in 2 years. Think of it as a complimentary session each week. If you have the time and enthusiasm, you can certainly commit yourself to coaching more than one person per week.

You will need to coach each person for a minimum of 30 minutes. Preferably, you will establish an ongoing coaching relationship with them, but even if you don't, coaching them once will count, as long as they fill out an online feedback form, which will take them about 3 minutes to do.

We're pretty flexible about what clients will count for credit. They certainly don't have to be paying clients, though we will give you training on how to convert them to paying clients. They can be friends, family, even buddy coaches. However, you can't very well build a practice with those people, so you will want to branch out much further into your network as soon as you have the nerve, so you can start building up your practice.

People who you should NOT coach for this program, include young children, anyone who is mentally impaired, addicted to drugs or alcohol, or who has a mood or character disorder.

If you already have coaching experience, you will only be able to get credit from this program, if those clients are willing to fill out the online form. No other form of proof will be accepted.

The form is designed to give you valuable feedback on the effectiveness of your coaching for each “client”. You'll learn to become a great coach much faster, because of this. Most of the questions can be answered on a 1-5 point scale.

The form will also ask questions of the “client”, like “Do you want to be contacted by this coach again?”, “Would you refer this coach to others?”, “Would you be willing to write a brief testimonial for this coach?”.

As you go through this process, you'll be able to take live and/or recorded teleclasses designed to teach you the skills you will need as you go through the program.

We'll also have useful forms designed just for this program for you to use.

Currently, there are 25 one-hour teleclasses planned for this program to be rolled out in 2004, at the rate of two/month.

“I wanted to tell you what terrific value I received from the pre-class notes for yesterday's session - Simply going through your suggested structure regarding time management in particular, was very revealing for me. No wonder I am feeling frustrated with not getting to finalizing my website and launching it...and numerous other things - my days are packed full already!! Ah, how helpful it truly is to have someone help us step back and take a look at the big picture of our lives!! This benefit from identifying how much time I have and want to spend on my coaching business was HUGE!!! Thank YOU!”

-- Catherine Miller, Coach cultivatingwellness@sympatico.ca

Eventually, we'll have a dedicated web site for this program at http://www.certifiedexperiencedcoach.com and ways for you to track your progress online, as you proceed. There will also be an affiliate program, as well as a licensing program for those of you who may want to share it with others. And when you earn the Certified Experienced tm designation you will be featured in the “get certified coaching news”!

“Thanks, Julie -- and just to assure you that the Universe is Perfect, right after our ECP class on complimentary sessions, I opened an email from someone who had been my fourth Coach100 client and she referred three more people who would like complimentary sessions! woo-hoo!”

-- Maura Mandrano, Career Coach, http://www.mjmcoach.com/

Obviously, you can set a goal of coaching 100 people and do it on your own, without our program and you probably will be successful, anyway. However, we think, with the support, guidance, and training, plus feedback that you get from this program, that you'll be able to become a great coach and have the confidence and know-how to build a thriving practice, easier and faster and, especially since you are among the first to try it, we will make it very, very attractive, financially, for you to try it.

How much more experienced, credible, confident and successful will YOU be when you have completed the Experienced Coach Program TM ?! AND where else are you going to get this much value for so little money?

"The ECP is proving to be one of the most helpful and important parts of my coach training. Actually committing to coach 100 people in a specified time has given me confidence that I could not get from simply taking classes. This program has made the class work relevant and much more meaningful, so much so that I think the ECP should become a required part of the Schools of Coaching. Every coach, new or experienced, would benefit greatly."

-- Bonnie Thompson, Coach, purposequest@earthlink.net

To take advantage of the Beta-Tester Price, all you need to do is click HERE, where to pay by check or credit card. You will get all 25 teleclasses, plus the online feedback system, plus all the other goodies that we're dreaming up for you like the Certified Experienced TM designation to be awarded when you graduate. In addition, you need to be willing to provide feedback on how the program is working for you, so we can make it even better!







“After 3 weeks in the Experienced Coach Program, I've gotten 6 referrals/ 6 testimonials. The greatest value for me of the program is: The opportunity to coach 100 people, all with different personalities and 100 different situations. I'm hanging out my shingle when all is said and done; I will have heard it all by then. With ECP I am motivated to Just Get Out There and Do It! I love the Teleclasses and support. I have 10 complimentary coaching sessions next week and 51 names on my 100 list, Woo Hoo! I am confident that at least 10 out of the 100 will become clients! Thank you for offering this program.

Julia Stewart is hands down an awesome teleclass leader! The space she provides for all of us is one that is always, open, authentic, challenging, intriguing, moving and inspiring.

I have taken several of her teleclasses and have gotten so much out of them, they provide so much support and structure as well as creative techniques that open new opportunities while growing your practice. Taking Julia's classes has really allowed me to expand in ways that I never imagined in the area of my coaching career and my life.

When working with Julia, there is a true warmth and space of feeling safe that allows for you to really stretch and expand in the area of expressing your thoughts, opinions and concerns.
