Educational Webinars

If you have recently started a coaching business are or planning to do so, you are in the right place. Starting a coaching business is exciting and maybe a little scary. It is exciting because you will have the opportunity to utilize your skills and passion for coaching while having the flexibility to set your own hours and the freedom of being your own boss. But, starting a coaching business can produce feelings of insecurity and uncertainty. Most likely you’ve already got great coaching skills, but you haven’t started your own business before. You wouldn’t have started coaching without coaching skills so why would you start a business without business skills? Our next webinar takes you through tips for success when you are ready to start or grow your own coaching business.

In this webinar, we will cover strategies and tips for building a successful coaching business. We’ll look at steps you can take before you open for business as well as tips for success during the first year.

Topics we will cover include;

  • Where do I want to go? Your vision and goals
  • What do I need to know? Education / training
  • How do I get there? Business / marketing plan
  • How do I get on the express lane? Operating systems / Getting help
  • Time for Q and A

Develop the skills and set yourself apart by jumping on the Fast Track. Coaching is becoming more and more competitive and yet many coaches have no credential and minimal training. One of the best ways to set yourself apart is to complete the training and earn a coaching credential.

Benefits of the Fast Track to ICF Credential include;

● FAST TRACK: Takes only 6 months to complete (other programs may take as long as 18 months).

● ROBUST, DISTANCE-BASED LEARNING: We use cutting-edge technology to create an in-person, interactive classroom experience while you participate remotely.

● TOP-NOTCH EDUCATION AND TRAINING: You get world-class instruction from expert coaches with experience in both coaching and teaching.

● FLEXIBLE SCHEDULE: We offer day and evening classes for your convenience, and new classes start throughout the year.

● AFFORDABLE: This program is priced to fit into your budget. Save $495 US / $595 CDN when you register for the package option. Don’t need the package option? You also have the choice of taking separate modules a la carte. We even have a payment plan.

Our next program (evening classes) starts March 11.

Testimonial: Coaching Out of the Box® gave me much more than what I expected. After the first couple sessions of FastTrack I was thinking, wow I’ve learned so much already and was really excited about what I would know by the end of the program. It didn’t disappoint, I feel I’m a much better coach and understand coaching in a way that I never imagined I would. Excited about moving people forward with my new found understanding. – Brad W.
