One of my graduates in the Comprehensive Parent Coach Training Program asked me why I put the program together.
Here's my answer:
As an aunt to 11 nieces and nephews and a person who believes in the impact of coaching, I realize that just because I never had the experience of having my own children, I know much about coaching skills and parenting.
I hold a Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology and as a specialist in child development, with a degree in this as well! For many years I worked teaching parents “coaching” skills to cope with their children and to understand normal development. I conducted therapy on children of all ages, from infants to 21 years of age and have massive experience spending full days with children, impacting their behavior, learning and self-esteem. In addition, I conducted parent trainings, workshops, learning and information sessions, teaching parents skills for better parenting.
I have been working on this material for over five years and based on people asking me to train them on this information; I decided the time was now. I spent a great deal of time deciding on the format of this information and realized these concepts could be shared quickly by an e-course.
The principles and concepts arise from the experience of coaching parents and from the trial and error reported to me from parents as to what works best for them. I want to make an impact on the world through you. You can coach parents to raise children with healthy self-esteems and greater personal responsibility, so that parents and their children will find greater joy together.
It is my belief that parents need to learn coaching skills and that the best place to learn this is by hiring a Certified Parent Coach. With the Comprehensive Parent Coach model, you will have exactly that of which parents are in need.
Your role is to take my coaching model and apply it with your wonderful talent to blend the art and science of coaching into an effective coaching technique that serves parents and their children. My heart and soul is in this material and I expect you to fully grasp the concepts and apply them.
As a Certified Comprehensive Parent Coach, you will be empowered to assist parents to use coaching skills to grow their children and themselves.

My BIG Story
Alright, I am finally ready to reveal my BIG story!
If you thought I was about coaching and books, that is what I do because of my BIG story...but it isn't the BIG story.
So here goes...
Many years ago when I lived in Yonkers, NY and was in elementary school, I met a girl named Jackie. Jackie came to school by bus and was living in an orphanage. As I got to understand through Jackie what this meant, I felt sad. We didn't have a lot of money at my home, but I had parents, an apartment, food and clean clothes.
The day before Halloween I was talking to Jackie on the playground about trick 'or treating and she said she didn't get to do that. I decided right then that I would get as much candy as I could for Jackie.
We lived in a cooperative where there were 6 apartments per unit and the amount of units we had was hard to count! I first went unit to unit and had to go home because I couldn't carry the amount of candy I had. (There were a lot of unit!s)
Then I left again, this time armed with two giant shopping bags. I tackled individual homes and then I realized there were two tall buildings called condos... they looked like apartments to me... anyway, I had a friend who lived in one. I went and rang her doorbell and she was home and then she helped me do both tall buildings.
It was late and dark and I had to get home.
My mother thought I collected the candy for myself (I never liked candy!) and she was wondering why I needed so much. I explained to her about Jackie and she helped me package all the candy up nicely.
My sister came home and brought me a giant plastic pumpkin filled with candy and a tall object with a skelton head on the top, also filled with candy. I told her thanks and explained that this year Jackie was getting it all.
My mom had to help me to school and we walked carrying all these bags and the pumpkin and skeleton head. Then, I waited outside for the bus and as soon as I saw Jackie I pulled her into our classroom and gave her the bags. She cried and cried. I've never forgotten this experience and the love and compassion I felt for her. I wanted to do more.
Ever since Jackie, which I think was in the third or fourth grade, I have lived my life on a mission to serve others and help others. When I make money, it feeeeeeeeeeeeeels good to me because I am then able to help others who are in need.
My vision is to give away 90% of what I earn and live on 10%.
Sure I could have another car, a newer car, a bigger home, a vacation home... who knows what else... but I want to give more and so I enjoy my life with what I have and I find causes I believe in and share money with others.
This in fact is what drives me to make money.
Ok, finally I shared my BIG story.
Jackie, wherever you are, I am most grateful to you. You touched my heart and soul and I'll never forget the beauty you brought to my life.
I hope I can continue to pay it foward in bigger and bigger ways.

Work Yourself Happy... What Does It Mean?
What does it mean to "work yourself happy"? To me, this means to do what you love and love what you do! Work should be natural and effortless!
Work Yourself Happy works because it focuses on the clients interests and talents and allows them to give up the "shoulds" - you know the things we all hear we "should" do, but they aren't necessarily what we want and somehow we keep holding on to them...
People find themselves in jobs they don't love because they follow their "shoulds", although they rarely recognize this until a coach helps them see it. Then as they begin to put thought into their own desires they can realize their own professional goals vs. being in a career they should be in.
Here are 3 things you can do TODAY to increase your chances of being happy at work:
1. Do what you love
2. Have balance between work and the rest of your life
3. Be around positive people regularly

Cleansing Update
Well it's day 7 of the cleanse. It is so weird to have no hunger at all... in fact, seeing food makes my stomach turn!
My sense of smell is coming back (I lost if after sinus surgery a few years ago) and smelling food is also awful. That is so odd to me.
I have had a good amount of energy and have been doing some form of body movement each day.
I will admit I did nap many times this weekend;)
The hardest part for me is drinking a quart of water with 2 tsp. celtic sea salt in the am. Getting the quart down makes me want to gag and I fight hard to swallow it.
I know it's worth it because within an hour my system is flusing out waste... this makes my morning routine a bit difficult so I am getting up pretty early to drink the cleansing bath and prepare for "flush time".
All I know is it all feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeels good and after a year of meds I have to detox this body and then I can go back to living a Create Your Ideal Body lifestyle.
More later!

Cleansing Away The Rubbish
Ok, a year has now gone since my injury... so, I was thinking... how do I get rid of the dirt, the scum, the cellular memories of this? And then, a few of my good friends and business associates also suggested I get rid of an energy around a person who had worked in my business and turned out to be a spiritual fraud. They felt her energy was horrid and wanted to be rid of it, too.
So, we entered this ritual together this weekend!
First, we had a chocolate powder and milk bath (yes, Hotel Hershey!) and we soaked the old energy away.
Then we had some healthy cleansing tea.
Onwards, we then had chocolate scrubs and as I was being scrubbed, I felt the old skin and feeeeeeeeeeeeeelings falling off and begin to let in new growth of my skin and my being.
Time to relax for a few with some water and to sit in the silent room and just be.
Ah, already feeeeeeeeeeeling happy and like the old poisions were leaving.
On to a chocolate massage. As I lay on the table I visualized the injury memories going away and the massage creating an opening for them to flow out... I also saw the "spiritual fraud" person melting away from me and simply let her drift so far away she is matterless material.
Beautiful!
We ate a glorious lunch, sat outside, sipped champagne and breathed in the beauty of this new year about to unfold.
Now it was time for a chocolate facial and my face was ready for some attention.
It felt clean and clear and free of any worry or fears and no longer holding the attributes of a person who was injured as I re-shaped it into ease. (Oh, don't get me wrong... my RSD hurts 24/7... I am just choosing rituals to allow the Achilles injury to be done with and to live in a new way as a person with RSD).
After the massage I went to the inhalation room and sat and felt the calm and peace and ease. The joy was so intense I was blissful!
Finally (how sad to end!), I had a full body wrap with chocolate fondue! I felt warm and nurtured and supported and loved. As the wrap came off I allowed any old energy to let go from my injury and from this fraud who showed up in my life.
I emerged knowing all was new and fresh!
When I got home I had dinner with my husband and my dad and my good friend Mary Ellen and we talked and laughed and I knew I had made a huge shift.
Today, I began a 20 day purification cleanse called the Master Cleanse... and I won't be eating for 20 days. I already feeeeeeeeeeeeeel great and I know this is the last piece of the release.
My Achilles is healed and I am free of the spiritual fraud! What a bless-ed day!

How NOT To Get Rich, Ever
Just keep doing the same things over and over and over again but hope for different outcomes.
Blame everyone else for keeping you oppressed... there is a conspiracy against you for sure!
Wait for things to change.
Half-heartedly, skeptically try a few things and then quit because you knew all along they wouldn't work.
Keep giving yourself lots of negative, limiting and destructive affirmations, like, "I can't get clients", "I hate to sell", "I don't want to market"... that's right, go ahead and talk yourself out of success.
Stick up a website and hope that will get you clients... then go watch Oprah and eat cookies!
Keep waiting for the "right time" to make changes.... keep waiting... until???
Save money by staying home and skipping becoming a coach ... why do I need to that anyway? Besides I know coaching without training. I've been around. I don't need somebody teaching me to be a coach, I've been doing it for years. I know how hard it is to earn money and this won't help me at all.

CRPS/RSD Described...
I had such an overwhelming response to my sharing with you my
Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome (RSD), also known as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome that I wanted to give you facts about it as many were inquiring individually...the info below is taken from the RSDS.org website:
(CRPS) is a chronic pain syndrome characterized by severe and relentless pain that affects between 200,000 and 1.2 million Americans.
RSD is a malfunction of part of the nervous system.
Nerves misfire, sending constant pain signals to the brain.
RSD develops in response to an event the body regards as traumatic, such as an accident or a medical procedure. This syndrome may follow 5% of all injuries.
Minor injuries can cause major problems. Minor injuries, such as a sprain or a fall are frequent causes of CRPS/RSD.
One characteristic of CRPS/RSD is that the pain is more severe than expected for the type of injury that occurred.
Early and accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment are key to recovery, yet many health care professionals and consumers are unaware of its signs and symptoms.
Typically, people with CRPS/RSD report seeing an average of five physicians before being accurately diagnosed.
Symptoms include persistent moderate-to-severe pain, swelling, abnormal skin color changes, skin temperature, sweating, limited range of movement, movement disorders.
CRPS/RSD is two to three times more frequent in females than males.
The mean age at diagnosis is 42 years.
However, we are seeing more injuries among young girls, and children as young as 3 years old can get CRPS/RSD.
This is not a psychological syndrome, but children may develop psychological problems when physicians, parents, teachers and other children do not believe their complaints of pain.
Treatment may include medication, physical therapy, psychological support, sympathetic nerve blocks and, possibly, sympathectomy, or dorsal column stimulator.
... so there you have it...I got so many emails that were loving and beautiful and heard about so many of your stories and I wish each of you health and peace.

My Latest Book!!
Learing life lessons are never easy, but a new friend is here to help.
Abigail and The Purple Fairy takes the audience on a delightful journey as Abigail learns some valuable lessons from a purple fairy about growing up, dealing with big and small disappointments in life and learning to find the good in the bad days, too.
As the story begins Abigail is in her bed asleep and is awakened by a gentle, small voice coming from her bedside. She turns on the lamp and sees a fairy with white hair and gossamer wings that spreads silvery purple glitter into the air. The fairy wants to talk about Abigail's life - Abigail says it's boring, but the fairy teaches Abigail a valuable lesson. She tells Abigail to believe in herself and imagine he things she wants to happen.
The tale ensues with several examples of Abigail learning to believe in herself and her desires such as friends playing with her at school, the teacher asking her questions in class that she knows, her mom fixing her favorite foods and enjoying the colors and scents of flowers as she and a friend walk to school.
Abigail and the Purple Fairy gives children valuable lessons through the eyes of Abigail's day by accepting, believing, dreaming and making the most of their days and learning that disappointments are not everything in a bad day.

Recreating Yourself ... Life After CRPS/RSD
As you may or may not be aware, after a long period of immobilizations and castings due to a ruptured Achilles, I developed CRPS/RSD, known as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome/Reflexive Sympathetic Dystrophy.
There are many stages to CRPS/RSD, which have to do with changes in the extremity. In stage one, which is the stage right after injury, there is increased blood flow and swelling to the area of injury. In my case the extremity was always cold and swollen. It turned black and I could not feel it.
Stage two, is the dystrophic stage or ischemic stage. This stage is characterized by neurovascular changes that affect the blood flow into the extremity. Again, in my case, this meant the extremity was very cold, black and I had no feeling and could not tell hot vs. cold or feel sharp needles.
And stage three is atrophic where the neurovascular changes become more pronounced. There is a decrease of blood flow into the area, along with other nervous system changes.
My life and my physical limits have changed with this disease and so I had to change my hobbies and activities. I had to learn to do things I can do vs. things I want to do.
I have pain each day with CRPS/RSD and have physical limitations with this disease. I have had to learn to recreate myself in many ways so that my life is still full, juicy and meangingful.
I live life at a much slower pace now. Instead of going for long walks, working at on equipment, working with my trainer, hiking and jogging, and exploring countries around the world, I now do more writing, am at home more and have created more books and articles.
The busier I am the less I focus on the pain. There have been many times when the pain was just to unbearable to do anything and concentrating became almost impossible, yet I always fight my way through it and find that when I am writing, speaking, training or coaching clients, I escape the pain and have much joy.

Every Speaker Needs Coaching!
When a speaker uses poor grammar or has error in their speech, their credibility can be destroyed. Here are words and phrases that can make a good speech and a good speaker lose the audience.
1. Irregardless: Although some people say this isn't really a word, it can be found in Webster's. The word means regardless. So, just use the word regardless.
2. Proactive: This has become an overused word today. It refers to looking forward and avoiding future problems. Instead of proactive, try replacing it with the words active or reactive.
3. Capable of: This is a weak phrase. Substitute can or able to instead.
4. Remains to be seen: This is a cliche. Avoid cliches when presenting.
5. In terms of: What does this mean? We hear it said all the time, but it has no meaning. Avoid these words.
6. At some point in time :What other point is there than a point in time? Just say, at some time.
7. As to whether: Why not replace with the simplier, whether?
8. As regards: Once again, this is wordy. Replace with, regarding.
9. Timewise and otherwise: Don't you mean regarding or as to? Much clearer.
10. Equally as This is poor grammar. It is either equally important or it is important. Not equally as important.

10 Ways to Put Fun In Your Practice
It might be a stretch for any physician to imagine how "fun" has anything to do with their profession. I'm not suggesting you become frivolous or that you should take your responsibilities lightly. I am suggesting you find ways to lighten your days, for your own benefit.
Yours is not the jolliest of professions on the planet. It's hard to go home and switch off. How can you focus on being with your children in a playful manner, when your head is elsewhere, perhaps with a dying child? How can you interact with anyone cheerfully, when each moment of your workday involves sickness and death?
As a human being, having fun is your birthright. Learn to incorporate some fun into your day and YOU will feel better for it… and so will your staff, your family, and your patients.Need ideas?
Here's 10 to get you started
1. A physician I know has a smiley face sticker inside the cover of his bed lamp – when patients look up, they see this big smiley face. He also has a large, stuffed toy giraffe in one corner that he puts silly hats on and colorful mobiles hanging from his ceiling. His piece de resistance is a white Furby on his desk with whom he "consults" playfully.
2. Keep 10-15 minutes free morning and afternoon so you can have a break. Keep some puzzles, crosswords, games or even coloring books in your desk to play with. (If you're embarrassed, lock your door.)
3. Remember to smile. Illness and death are going to happen every day, whether you're there or not. You do the best you can, but you're not a miracle worker. Don't spend all of your day worrying about everyone else's day. Take your own advice. If you recommend your stressed clients take a walk at lunch time, you'd better get your walking shoes on!
4. Buy a joke book. Each time you enter your office, share a joke with your staff. If your staff are happy, it will rub off on you and make visits to your office more pleasurable for your patients. Children will love your riddles.
5. Allow your staff to play the radio in the front office. Do the same for your own office, or choose CD's that inspire and relax. Maybe you can have "happy" children songs playing for your child patients and soothing music for your stressed professional patients. (Or maybe they could also do with a dose of "The wheels on the bus go round and round…"?)
6. Take a rostered day off. Share this opportunity with your partners. You CAN arrange your schedule to fit in a rostered day off during the month. Do exactly what YOU want to do on this day: fishing, golfing, reading, hiking, or maybe you just want to spend the day in bed and do nothing!
7. When you send follow up notes and reminders to your patients, stick a "happy" sticker on the bottom near your signature. Put "happy" stickers on your phone, your computer and anywhere else you will see them.
8. Send your office a "happy" gift basket once in a while. There are online stores that sell specialty "fun" corporate gifts that include silly things, like moldable Gumbies, happy faces on a stick, fun shaped chocolates. You'll also enjoy receiving the basket of fun goodies, even if you have sent them yourself.
9. Have fun with your patients. Give them a riddle and tell them if they can answer it, you'll give them a jelly bean. Keep happy stickers on your desk so you can stick one to your patient's shirts before they leave.
10. Have a "wacky" day, like a crazy hair day. Wear silly wigs or do something crazy with your own hair. Put up a notice to alert your patients beforehand so they won't get a shock when they visit. Invite them to participate if their visit coincides with your scheduled "wacky day". Take advantage of special days like "Red nose day" when you and your staff can wear red clown noses. (You can "fine" your staff and patients a dollar if they don't participate, and donate it to charity.Think about this… if you were ill and had to visit your doctor, what would lift your spirits? A happy, "fun" environment, or a somber, gloomy environment that matches how you feel?

Prepare For Job Interview Questions
To be prepared for an interview it is helpful to have an understanding of the questions you may be asked and to have prepared answers for them. As you read the questions below, think of adaptations to these and then answer them. You may want to say your answers out loud while looking in a mirror to see how you look and sound. Another great tip is to record your answers into a tape recorder and then play it back and see what it sounds like. Practice your answers and then go take charge of your career and get the job you want and find the employer you want to work for!
1. Which supervisors have you found easiest to work with and which have been most difficult? This is to judge your adaptability.
2. What did you like best and least about your previous job? Checking your administration and management skills.
3. Have you ever had to get a point across to different types of people? Give me an example and tell me what approach did you take? Finding out about your communication skills.
4. Describe a work-related problem you had to face recently. What did you do to deal with it? Decision making skills tested.
5. Give me an example of a time you did more than what was required in your job. Seeking initiative.
6. Give me an example of a time you found it necessary to make an exception to the rules in order to get something done. How is your integrity?
7. What was the best decision you ever made? What were the alternatives? How did you go about making it? Checking your judgment.
8. Tell me about a time you had to gain the cooperation of a group over which you had little or no authority. What did you do? How effective were you? Leadership.
9. Have you ever had trouble learning a new method or procedure? How did you deal with that situation? Investigating your learning ability.
10. Tell me about a problem you have had that would affect more than one department. How did you try to solve it? For organizational cooperation.

Prospecting For Clients
Believe it or not in one of my first business, I simply pulled names straight out of the telephone book. A through Z....and called. I dialed and dialed to get clients.
I'd say, "Hi...how are you? My name is Terri Levine and we are looking to host local art shows and give free art away to people in this area...Are you interested?"
And guess what? Most people said NO!
Why am I sharing this? Whatever medium you are using whether it's phone, written word, Internet, radio or TV, you have a few seconds to identify who has a need, want or desire for your products or services, and then you have to hold their attention long enough to get them to do what you want...
Simple concept, yes?
Of course, there's more to it... for now just do one of the following two things and your success will soar immediately...
1. Scare the audience... worry them badly about something that affects them...
OR
2. Promise them something ridiculous yet true...
So ...Knowing this, my cold calls would be different now (if I still did them!)...
"Hi...My name is Terri Levine. Let me ask you something...If I can truly show you how to
get your home fully decorated with original oil paintings everywhere you desire in your home for free ...is that worth 14 minutes of your time to find out how?"
So there you have my prospecting gift!
This one tip will dramatically change your success forever...
Do you want to have more people saying "yes" to you?
Then tune in to me:)

Empower Your Employees!
The word empower is often overused. Many employers talk about empowering their employees but often employees feel disempowered. Here's a list of the top 10 things you can do that will really empower your employees, according to employees, not employers!
1. Allow employees to actively participate in team and company goals.
Look for every opportunity to include employees at every level of the organization, in being active participants. Employees often report getting one-way directives instead.
2. Allow employees to suggest better ways of getting their jobs done.
Ask for employee suggestions for other ways of getting the task or project accomplished. Listen and be willing to really hear the employees' comments. Employees often report that they have no input and are told exactly how to perform their jobs, leaving no creativity.
3. Provide positive reinforcement.
Always listen and acknowledge your employees. Employees often report that their decisions and actions are second-guessed and that most, if not all, feedback given is negative.
4. Clearly delegate responsibility and give the employees authority along with the responsibility.
Do you give inconsistent messages? Do you ask the employee to handle a problem or project and then give them negative feedback or give them an assignment and then say "never-mind?" Employees often report that they are given tasks and then told they did it wrong.
5. Be clear in your communication.
When you express goals or explain projects, be sure the employees really understand what you are asking for. Employees often report that the goals are unclear and that they are not sure what they are being asked to do.
6. Show you have trust in your employees.
Allow them to make mistakes as a form of learning. Show that it is really ok to make mistakes. Let them know you really support their decisions. Employees often report that someone is always looking over their shoulder to make sure they do things right.
7. Listen. Listen. Listen.
Do you do most of the talking? Employees often report that conversations are one way, comprised mostly of their ideas being criticized. They don't feel they are heard.
8. Be interested in the employees' career development.
Meet with employees and discover their goals and their wants. Employees often report that their goals are not viewed as important in the organization.
9. Let the employees help you achieve success.
Are you doing it all yourself? Employees often report that their managers do all the tasks and that they have no way to make contributions outside their job descriptions. Look for opportunities to delegate and enhance the employees' career development at the same time.
10. Be a coach.
The best way to empower employees is not to manage them. Coach them to success. This is a process of developing their skills and providing them specific feedback to meet high standards. Employees often report feeling like children rather than being on the same team with their bosses. Be their coach and lead the team to success!

Always listen and acknowledge your employees. Employees often report that their decisions and actions are second-guessed and that most, if not all, feedback given is negative.
4. Clearly delegate responsibility and give the employees authority along with the responsibility.
Do you give inconsistent messages? Do you ask the employee to handle a problem or project and then give them negative feedback or give them an assignment and then say "never-mind?" Employees often report that they are given tasks and then told they did it wrong.
5. Be clear in your communication.
When you express goals or explain projects, be sure the employees really understand what you are asking for. Employees often report that the goals are unclear and that they are not sure what they are being asked to do.
6. Show you have trust in your employees.
Allow them to make mistakes as a form of learning. Show that it is really ok to make mistakes. Let them know you really support their decisions. Employees often report that someone is always looking over their shoulder to make sure they do things right.
7. Listen. Listen. Listen.
Do you do most of the talking? Employees often report that conversations are one way, comprised mostly of their ideas being criticized. They don't feel they are heard.
8. Be interested in the employees' career development.
Meet with employees and discover their goals and their wants. Employees often report that their goals are not viewed as important in the organization.
9. Let the employees help you achieve success.
Are you doing it all yourself? Employees often report that their managers do all the tasks and that they have no way to make contributions outside their job descriptions. Look for opportunities to delegate and enhance the employees' career development at the same time.
10. Be a coach.
The best way to empower employees is not to manage them. Coach them to success. This is a process of developing their skills and providing them specific feedback to meet high standards. Employees often report feeling like children rather than being on the same team with their bosses. Be their coach and lead the team to success!

The Top 10 Approaches to Your Career Goal Attainment
Most of us spend the majority of our working hours engaged in work or work related activities. Yet over 80% of the population is dissatisfied with their current job situation. These top 10 tips will assist you in achieving your career goals.
1. Whether you're unemployed, underemployed, considering a career change, re-entering the job market, or recently graduated, the first step toward reaching your career potential is to objectively analyze and evaluate your skills and capabilities. Have a coach or career counselor objectively assess your natural talents, skills and professional strengths.
2. Set realistic short and long range goals. Create a plan that will give you a competitive edge. Be specific. Have it reviewed objectively.
3. Design a high profile resume. You must have a resume that will sell you. Don't send out a resume until it is a strong sales tool that represents you.
4. Gain information on industry trends and specific companies. Use a business database, CD-ROM or on-line systems.
5. Develop sophisticated networking capabilities.
6. Create winning interview skills. While you may be an expert in your profession, you must be able to sell yourself during an interview.
7. Negotiate the salary that you require. Have a strategy for negotiating top dollar. A coach or career counselor can give you tools for getting the money you want.
8. Use marketing techniques for a competitive edge. You need to implement an effective marketing strategy to increase your visibility and give you an edge. Create a plan targeted to meet your needs.
9. Find long term support, even after your short term career goals are met.
In order to keep growing, stay abreast of market trends and issues related to your career growth and development. Use an objective partner to support you.
10. Use an approach that meets your needs. Don't follow guidelines in a book or from a friend if they are not comfortable for you and not representative of who you are. Be authentic in designing a career search and marketing plan that really reflects who you are.

Wanted People Who Want Success NOW!
I only help a select group of people each year who want to be coaches. I take only those with the real qualities needed to make themselves a success.
So ask yourself the following questions:
1. Do you want more money than you have now?
2. Wouldn't you spend about $8,000 to make about 100k?
If your answer to both questions is yes, then the ideas and strategies I have for you will achieve both in record time.
I know that you might be skeptical, and I don't blame you. There are a lot of purported experts, saying they can make you money in a business.
So, how can I show you that this program really works, has worked for people all over the World, and will work for you?
Maybe you're intrigued, it sounds good (maybe even too good), and you want to believe -- but how can you really find out for sure?
If you read the testimonials at www.CoachInstitute.com you will have heard from lots of people I'm already helping. If you've yet to do so, here's an example of just how different and effective this is...
"Thank you for an incredible experience. I looked long and hard for a coach training program that would emphasize marketing as much as coaching. After all, what good is a great coach who can’t be found???
You provided the perfect blend. You have the unique ability to capture the listener’s attention with terrific delivery while providing meaningful, thought-provoking content. I often hear echoes of “T” as I am coaching my clients. Just as you suggested, when a client sets a goal of mastering time management or marketing, I find myself paying more attention to fine-tuning that skill in my own life. Thanks for giving so much of yourself, and for making coach training so darn much fun!
PS: My coaching business is already soaring...through your powerful partnering and referral, I found an immediate stream of clients."
Cynthia PhiferGraduate, Virginia Beach, VA
So will my training work for you?
Implement what we teach and history has shown that answer to be a resounding YES. But the only real way to find out is to try out what we have to offer.
So if you haven't already reviewed www.CoachInstitute.com I suggest you do so today. The faster you respond, the faster you can start seeing the success you're after...
