The Benefits of e-Coach Membership Programs

For me, it is all about freedom and affordability.  For most, it is virtual, using only the Internet to give and receive coaching.  Often, it involves a membership and little to moderately interactive coaching.  For many, it more resembles an e-Course.

The one thing that was missing for me in those formats was the real-time, authentic connection with a coach.  You know, the one-to-one coaching conversation with the person who listens and responds based on what you are saying and feeling.  The person dedicated to you and your success.  Not simply a virtual group coach, but a personal, private coach.

So, fast forward to March 2009 and a brief look at what I am creating.  I say creating because in true coach fashion I launch the program then let my fabulous members determine it’s growth and form.  I will start with a format that has worked for the few, and see what the many want to create.  Not a novel idea, just coaching in it’s purest form, i.e., listening, responding and letting the client lead.

So, what will my first e-Coach program look like when it gets started this March.  Let me share the foundational offering:

1. Your own Personal Coach: You will have access to me, an experienced ICF certified coach via unlimited email.  And, monthly, LIVE group coach calls.  Real-time. NOT autoresponders.  I read each email and return a personal, private response to whatever you present in each email.
   
2. Flexible schedule (you decide) - If you are like me, you wear many hats and me-time cannot always be the same each day or week.  So, I have created the program so you can spend time with workbook & fieldwork whenever it works for you, e.g., before work, after work, during lunch break, after you put the children to sleep.  Whenever you can put at least 30 minutes of focused attention to sit with the workbook and send me an email.  The only scheduled times are the monthly live group coaching calls.
3. Power of Collective Wisdom and Energy - You may already know that achieving a goal is easier when there is someone to hold you accountable, cheer you on, and celebrate each win - no matter how small. So, you will have access to three forms of members-only group support: 1) the live monthly group coaching calls that I lead 2) online community I facilitate  3) Optional Mastermind circles - virtual or by phone. 
4. Powerful Self-Coaching Tools & Resources - anytime access to self-assessments, recordings of all live calls, daily inspirational email, and the program workbook Art of Life Balance with H.E.A.R.T.™
5. Accountability - If you are like me, I stay on track when someone asks me, "So, how's it going?"  "Have any questions?"  "Can I help?"  To answer these calls I have created optional weekly-check-in forms - which you will receive by email once each week.  You will have the option to reflect on or write your responses and return to me for review and response.  And, if you join a mastermind group, they may also help to inspire you and keep you on track.
6. Affordability - Often times, you tell yourself "I can't afford a private coach" or "Why would I pay for a coach when I have friends and family?"  Well, if you are still questioning your success, struggling with overwhelm or wishing for more, a coach may be just what you need.  Since I know the value of a coach, and the group, I want to share this with you.  In this case, the power of the group makes it possible for me to offer the same quality of coaching tools and services at a fraction of my usual coaching fees. And when I say fraction I mean fraction.  Actually, because I am so excited about the possibility of this program the launch-price will come out to less than $2.00 a day.
7. Terms - You may already know that true change does not happen in less than 21 days, and creating the new, more successful you will take at least 90 days (no matter how wonderful you already are). Most memberships are for 12 months, but since I believe in flexibility and affordability, I created this program in six month modules.  If it is working for you, and you want to move from surviving to thriving, and a life of passion, prosperity and balance, you can renew every six months.  And, if it is not working for you, drop out within the first 30 days for a full refund - and keep the e-Workbook chapters you have already received.
