A similar group program for independent business owners who want to incorporate more coaching skill and competency into their work with their staff and their own clients. This program is designed for fairly well established business owners moving to more of a relational business expansion stage.

Do you want to:

  • Earn advanced learning credits as you learn “insider” business development secrets?
  • learn and practice how to build stronger alliances and cross collaborations, plus expand your current network?
  • build business structures that are sustaining and provide continuous business flow?
  • design a business that leverages your values and strengths?
  • drive the process, not the decision — and create the pressure-less close?
  • manage a competency driven business — and align your business and client
  • interactions with ICF core coaching competencies as a safety-met and a support system?
  • conserve your time and simultaneously recharge yourself everyday?
  • learn how to manage your client relationships for life?
  • expand your fee range and raise your rates comfortably?

What can you expect?

There are 3 key elements or main themes. Each session we make a commitment for an emphasis on a:

  • competency or skill;
  • a tool, process, handout;
  • action/deliverable, for the group, to self, and a structure between sessions, to update the group for the upcoming session
  1. Credits to be easily applicable from the perspective of ICF — This means we will emphasize how competencies/skills can directly apply to your effectiveness in your client-work and to how you structure your business and the design of it for both stability and eventual thriving. You will have clarity of your in-house messages and in your public communications to prospective and current clients.
  2. Concepts, tools, and processes that support the identification of a strategically designed business-base — this applies directly to Agreements, Coaching Presence and Direct Communication, as well as Managing Progress and Accountability in your business and client work. This will include experiential learning, working examples, handouts, materials templates.
  3. Accountability — field-work all along the way with an interim, optional, voluntary support-group process for whole class to help support your accountability and to support your follow-through as we proceed through the 6-month period.

How you qualify for the program? Expectations of You As Registrant:

  • Some concentrated (if not completed) coach-specific training
  • YOU are past the “can this be done” and tire-kicking stage
  • You are refining and buffing an already existing business — if part-time
  • OR...you are already an exemplary student currently still in training (but beyond your foundational program)
  • You are seeking a true support group and some edge-pushing ideas
  • You are seeking a goal-setting emphasis on accomplishment that is overt and measurable
  • You can be participatory in basic nature
  • You can be excited about what can be created in cross-industry introductions
  • You can potentially be open to supporting referrals to others with non-competing specialties within our group
  • You can be trusting of these leaders to consciously develop this group with specialty variance in their specialties/niches
  • You are naturally drawn to a group of this description — not in it just because you need the credits...in other words

You will work on your business and have the support of 2 experienced and diverse ICF (MCC) Coaches (Master Certified Coaches) throughout the six-month period, including between our twice-monthly sessions.

Lydia and Sherry will also be engaging you in your peer group to apply concepts, tools and share best practices. We will use many tools including assessments such as Disc, VIA-Strengths, and StrengthsFinder2, and introduce others as options. From a technical perspective we will have a bridge available for your use for interim and voluntary support. Classes can be recorded for review. Accountability partners will support you during the program.

You will learn the ‘insider’ business development secrets on how to design a profitable business that establishes YOU as a successful business owner and successful coach.
