Level One - Uncovering a Solid Foundation

Whether you’re new to coaching or have been in the game for years, the single biggest factor in your future success is the extent to which your work is grounded in universal truth. While beliefs and models can be fascinating to explore and at times helpful with your clients, they are also pretty hit and miss in practice and rarely lead to lasting change. This in turn leads to clients wondering why they can’t maintain their gains and leaves coaches to struggling with impostor syndrome, constantly trying to convince themselves that they’re worthy and continually worrying about how to justify their fees. If this is you, you’ve probably got a sense that you could be really good at this along with the occasional sinking feeling that you’re not really making as much of a difference as you’d like. Your next step is simply to take a deeper look at the basics – your “come from” and your “point to”.

Level Two – Gaining Experience

Sometimes, the next step in your development as a coach is just to work with more people, do more coaching, and begin to develop a reliable feel for the difference between genuine impact and “rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic”. If this is your next level, then these two days will be an opportunity to meaningfully commit to that process and clear

Level Three - Developing Mastery

There comes a certain point in everyone’s coaching career where the question changes from “is it working?” to “how can I make it work even more impactfully and elegantly with even more different kinds of people?” If you’re at this level, you’ve been in the game long enough to have accumulated numerous happy clients, some killer testimonials, and the awareness that no matter how great people think you are, you’re never more than halfway up the infinite ladder of your potential. For you, the next step is to raise your game by taking on teachers, mentors, coaches, and clients who will challenge your beliefs about the edge of what’s possible and force you to take an honest inventory of the how you’re doing in yourself and the difference between “really helpful” and “transformative”.
