Coach Camps

Most coach training programs do a fairly good job of teaching you information about  coaching.

What they don't do a good job with is actually helping you master the art of coaching - in other words, they don't help you become a masterful coach.

What's missing?

Most coach training programs leave out one of the most essential pieces of coach training - concentrated, purposeful, and effective mentoring and supervision

That's where Coach Camps comes in...

...plugging the holes in your coach training!

Imagine...you are sitting with 2 powerful mentor coaches, listening to and absorbing everything they share...

Hover and listen, learning vicariously, via on-the-spot feedback for 5 days of real-time coaching.

Observe 5 powerful supervision sessions...learning all the secrets and insights to revolutionize your coaching.

Experience Coach Camps by absorbing the 5 critical training classes and observing the masterful demonstration of each coaching principle following the lesson.

Do you find it challenging to:

• attract clients?
• retain clients?
• ask for more money?
• handle new, unanticipated client situations?
• stay within the assigned coaching time?
• reach the client at a core level?
• zero in on what's really most important?
• feel completely confident about your coaching ability?
  

If you answered yes to any of these questions, it's probably because your coach training program did not adequately prepare you for real-time coaching.

They should have, but we know most of them don't.

They teach you about coaching, not HOW TO coach in the real world.  Rarely do you get to hear a masterful coach demonstrating masterful coaching...so you just have to imagine what coaching should really sound like.

Plus, most coach training programs don't have much structure when it comes to the actual coaching. They tell you to "just go out there and start coaching" before you really know what coaching feels like, looks like, or sounds like.

Coach Camps plugs this hole by providing examples of real-time coaching experience with hands-on guidance - feedback in-the-moment - from two of the most respected mentor coaches in the coaching industry.

Not only will you increase your ability to model excellence, giving you an edge up...

You will also learn how to form deeper, longer term relationships with your clients, so you can spend more of your time coaching, and less of your time marketing and selling!

As a Coach Camper, you learn:

• how to help your clients achieve the results they want more quickly - for real. We're not just spouting lingo.

• how to eliminate uncertainty - yours AND the client's - so you can get on with powerful coaching.
  

• how to eliminate the fraud factor so that it is easy and natural for you to coach - as well as attract new clients easily.
  

• how to conduct high-speed coaching sessions, with grace and gentleness, so your clients get results faster and become your raving fans!
  

• how to reach the client at a core level, so you are helping them with what their REAL goals are.
  

• how to help your clients feel more confidence in you - so they are willing to stretch themselves more, they stay with you longer, and they refer friends and colleagues.
  

• how to develop longer term relationships naturally, plus know when to let them go.
  

• how to model excellence, so that your client feels coached between sessions, and you feel great!
  

How does it work?

Your virtual Summer Camp for Coaches consists of your Coach Camps Field Guide and 5 digital audio recordings to download and listen to at your own pace (7 and a half hours of powerful training).

In each 90-minute session, you will hear Marion Franklin, MCC and Nina East, IAC-CC demonstrate exactly how to handle real-time, real-live coaching situations.

You will be learning what great coaching is by hearing it - and by hearing it be dissected!

Each camp session consists of approximately 1/3 concrete solutions and case studies, 1/3 accelerated learning, and 1/3 real-time coaching with Marion and Nina supervising and mentoring the whole way.

What will you hear at camp each day?

Each morning you'll get up at dawn for calisthenics.   Sit Up
Oh, wait....that would be bootcamp, not COACH CAMP!   

A lot of people are offering "bootcamps" these days, but we realized we didn't like the metaphor.  Bootcamp, of course, is designed to tear you down before building you back up. And that's not what coach training should ever be about!

COACH CAMP is nothing like that!

Coach Camp is much more fun and more powerful!  At Coach Camp we build you up from the beginning, with the right building blocks and the right mentoring. Instead of feeling less secure, you will be significantly more confident and aware!

You  will do some things that will stretch you, though...

Here's what to expect each day in your self-guided camp.

Day 1: The HeART of Listening: building deeper, more trusting relationships
The key to great coaching lies in great listening, building trust, and developing exceptional rapport. There is an art to inquiry using building blocks within the listening stages. In this session, you begin to become proficient in interpreting and connecting with clients even when they are not articulate. Coaches become confident and secure by developing astute, open, genuine, and non-judgmental listening skills.

Day 2: Intuition – Using your intuition: choosing wisely
Masterful coaches use their gut to their best advantage. Not only do they recognize and pay attention to their intuition, they act on it appropriately. But how do they tell the difference between intuition and just a lot of hot air? If you don't come by it naturally, you have to develop and practice your intuition. In this day's activities, you learn how to recognize the internal and external clues of intuition, how to separate your own issues from intuition about the client, and how to develop client-focused intuition.

Day 3: Laser Coaching – target practice  
Masterful coaches have to zero in on what's most important without wasting any time, but also without overpowering the client.
In Day 3, you learn:
- Helicopter Coaching Approach™
- how to target what's most important, plus determine the next, most effective step
- how to listen to the story and identify what's really going on
- the #1 most important question a coach needs to ask themselves.

Day 4: Shift happens…or does it? How to create shifts that work.
Day 4 will focus on how to create an environment for shift. We address the 3 key steps in facilitating shift, and how being able to do this will completely transform your coaching.

Day 5: The real deal – being a coach.  
In your last day of camp, we focus on You as a coach.   Knowing the skills of coaching - and even being able to use them at the right time - isn't enough.

To graduate to masterful coaching status, there are a series of "being" skills that must be lived.  This is the essence of being a coach. Living as a coach. It’s a coach’s life.
