How I Coach, Fees, etc.

Following are the questions I'm often asked about my coaching structure. Just click on the question you want answered, or scroll through the answers below.

How does it work/look?

The base coaching is three 60 minute phone sessions per month. On the fourth week we rest. (Well, you don't have to stop on your goals, but you get a rest from me). You call me so make sure if it is long distance you have a plan. ( Yak.com). This is supplemented by email coaching at no extra charge, plus the occasional "power coaching call" (10 minutes) as required. You take on as much homework/home play as you choose, and most of the learning/growth/action/results happen between the calls.

You'll actually coach yourself prior to each session - using a Self Coaching Form I supply with your Welcome Pack. I'm not interested in replacing what you would do on your own. I want to add to what you would do on your own.

Who are my clients?

Basically, people ready to make changes in their life, and/or to really go for what they want. My clients are normally successful in many areas of their life, but there might be one or two that are not up to scratch. Or - they are ready for more self-awareness - can you ever be too aware?

My clients are both men and women, normally in the 25 to 55 age range. Mainly professionals. And a lot of people wanting to become a coach, or at least explore the possibility. Some small business owners whose businesses are expanding, and executives looking to create a bigger game to play or to get more balance in their life.

To date my clients have been based in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, England.

What does coaching provide?

This is different for each client. Most often I hear words like: challenge, accountability, direction, inspiration, focus, sounding board, support and validation. Some people want someone else to share the wins with. Others request a firm kick up the butt<grin>. But the bottom line is, we're normally after a specific result that makes a ~difference~ in your life. And above all - let's have fun with it!

Other Coaching Areas

Who are you?

I'm a coach: Fitness trainer ,entrepreneur , father, husband and passionate about personal development, and in awe of the courage my clients continually draw upon to step beyond their comfort zones. I'm also a raving entrepreneur who loves creating businesses - with a particular passion for excellent marketing, creative products/services, fun, and massive leverage.

In the past - I've been a day spa owner in Toronto, a professional entertainer in Ontario, sales person in Calgary. Now I live and coach from Calgary , Alberta Canada, Canada's fastest growing and riches city in Canada. I am married to Bonnie, with two beautiful daughters , Madison and Jordyn, my family is the love of my life. Friendships, are really high energy coaching sessions, developing new coaching products, appearing on TV and doing my Boot Camps, and watching the movies with my wife!

How long would we work together?

Some people are done in 3 months, and others are looking for 1-2 year partnerships. I've been working with one of my favorite clients (and now friend) for over two years. We'll normally start with a 3-6 month time frame. I simply suggest my clients stay with me as long as they love the coaching, and the results!

What are your fees?

The following fees cover personal coaching, business coaching, and the Coach Program to become a coach. In other words, it's the same fee no matter what we work on.

* * *

Note: Once we've completed the initial coaching term, you may elect to roll over for another term, or we'll simply 'shake hands' and stay in touch; I love hearing from my past clients. You also then have the option to reduce the level of coaching to twice a month for maintenance.

Can I get an even better feel for who you are, and your coaching style, first?

Sure! For as little as $100 you can purchase 1 coaching session. There's a money-back guarantee, so it's a great low cost way to fully check out my coaching style and make sure we're a good fit if you're the cautious type<smile>.

Can I read testimonials or success stories?              
 Yes. You can read from some of the wonderful people I've worked with here.

Do you do any probono coaching or charity work?

Actually, yes. I have two probono spots for people who are working on a project to benefit their community, country or planet (i.e. not for profit), or working for/running a major charity.

If selected, you just donate $100 up front to a charity to demonstrate commitment, and we get started.

To apply for one of these positions, just request a complimentary consultation just like everyone else. But make sure you include in the comments field why I would enjoy coaching you, and details/benefits of your project. I.e. Enroll me!
