A few days ago, I shared my thoughts about coach training and how I believe it is inaccessible to the majority of people due to, in my opinion, unnecessarily high training costs.

The post caused quite a stir; a few of the replies confirming exactly what I was saying ... the not so hidden message being the cost needs to be high to maintain exclusivity šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø

Exclusivity being the polar opposite of INCLUSIVITY

And being inclusive means being affordable

So that the people who most need these skills - to benefit the people they work with - can get trained

Whether they manage a care home and want to lead their team more effectively ...

Or whether they are a job 'coach' who actually wants to be able to coach their clients ...

Or whether they are the only paid member of staff and manage a team of volunteers in a charity shop

Believe me when I say a care home manager cannot afford to pay for coach training

And neither can a job coach

Nor can the manager of our local Dog's Trust

This isn't about essential coaching skills for leaders (although they are all leaders)

It's about essential coaching skills for managers working at the coal face; the people who could make a REAL difference if only they had more skills

But this isn't just about coach training

It's about all of the people out there who would benefit from coaching for whom cost is a barrier

And I'm not talking about the unemployed or the homeless

I'm talking about people earning a reasonable salary 30K, 40K, 50K for whom there isn't enough money to pay the bills at the end of the month, let alone pay £100, £200, £300 per hour for coaching

All of this troubles me

And what troubles me most is that this doesn't trouble more Coaches, especially given they all want to 'make a difference'

Eldridge Cleaver said

'There is no more neutrality in the World. You either have to be part of the solution, or you're going to be part of the problem.'

I am creating the solution; an affordable ICF Accredited Level 1 Coach Training Programme.

Are you part of the solution?

If so, I'd love you to get involved.

ICF Accredited Level 1 Coach Training Pilot Programme*

Our Pilot Programme costs £950, including the £600 fee, plus an extremely competitive £350 for Group and Individual Mentoring and the Live Performance Evaluation.

This is for you if you are:

new to coaching
currently coaching, but not yet qualified,
qualified and want to upgrade to an ICF credential
The Level 1 qualification will give you everything you need to become a competent and confident Coach

Given the level of interest, and unprecedented low cost, we anticipate places will go quickly, so please let us know if you are interested by replying to this email or use the link below to sign up

https://www.nlpforcoaches.com/offers/oTnd8Kqc/checkout?cid=7ee12ae0-254d-4ee7-94f7-2ef9736309e8

*Assuming our application for Level 1 accreditation is successful, you will receive your Level 1 qualification retrospectively. You will receive your ACC (Associate Certified Coach) credential as soon as you can document 100 hours of coaching experience (including at least 75 paid hours), and apply for and pass your ICF Credentialing exam.

Coach bashing is a thing

What’s annoys me most about the coaching industry is the way that some fully qualified and accredited coaches look down on those who are not qualified and accredited

Even when those 'coaches' are skilled and experienced, some more so than coaches who are newly qualified and accredited

I’ve noticed this phenomenon increases as coaches climb the credentialing ladder

It’s directly proportional

It’s as though qualified and accredited coaches conveniently forget that they too were once unqualified and not accredited šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø

And the higher up the ACC -> PCC -> MCC ladder they climb… the more distanced they are from most 'coaches' reality

This can be off-putting as it comes off as elitist. It’s clique-ey at best and I have even heard the upper echelon’s of the ICF described as a cult at worst!

This behaviour annoys me even more when coach training providers buy into this narrative and vibe

They express concerns about the number of unqualified and non accredited coaches ... and yet I don’t see them rushing to reduce their costs so that more 'coaches' can get qualified and get accredited

They fail to acknowledge - do they even care - that the BIGGEST barrier to training and becoming qualified and accredited is cost

I have even heard some justify their over inflated, exorbitant fees with

"I had to find the money so …

Just because you paid 5 - 10 K doesn’t make it right

I was only able to afford my own coach training in 2001 because I unexpectedly inherited a lump sum when my elderly uncle passed away; Uncle Alf didn’t have any children

And I invested that lump sum - 30K - in my own NLP Practitioner & Master Practitioner (2), NLP Trainers Training and Coach Training; an investment I will never regret because it changed my life both personally and professionally

That’s why this - Affordability - is so important to me

Regulation is looming as indeed it should be

I wholeheartedly agree that qualification and accreditation are important. It protects clients and opens doors for coaches; more organisations are asking for it

But nobody should have to invest their life savings to get there

So I for one am doing something about it

This year, I am taking a group of my former and existing students through 60 hours Coach Training* and I will be applying for Level 1 ICF accreditation.

* this is coaching skills not NLP

Taking a group of at least 5 students through a course is in fact part of the ICF application process, and assuming Level 1 status is granted, the students receive their award retrospectively

There is no guarantee, but, as you know, I have a successful track record of getting NLP Masterclasses accredited with the ICF… and if I can do that (when NLP is as good as a swearword for purists) I can do anything!

If you are currently coaching, or want to be a coach, and you are not qualified or accredited, and you would like to join my students on the pilot course, comment INTERESTED. Cost £950 (£600 Core Fee + £350 Group & 1:1 Mentoring and Live Performance Evaluation)

Payment Plan Options Available with Clearpay or Klarna

Affordability is right up there at the top of my list of business values

Why?

Because the ONLY reason I could afford to sign up for my own NLP Practitioner, training back in the day - in 2021 to be precise - was because I had unexpectedly inherited a lump sum following the death of my Uncle

My Uncle's wife, Auntie Doris had been what was referred to in those days as 'independently wealthy' when they met, and when she passed away before him after many years of marriage, her estate was passed Uncle Alf

Uncle Alf and Auntie Doris didn't have any children, and so when Uncle Alf passed away, his now considerable wealth, passed to my father and his sister

Then, my father decided to share his half between me and my 3 siblings

Not only was I able to sign up for Practitioner training, I was able to sign up for Master Practitioner training, the NLP Coach (ICF Accredited ACTP training), NLP Trainers Training and a second Master Practitioner training in quick succession

I was able to invest in 30K worth of training that very quickly changed the course of my life both personally and professionally

In the space of 18 months I went from being a regular Personal Training to presenting internationally at Fitness Conventions in the US, Australia and Canada after developing 'NLP for Fitness Professionals' the first NLP course for Personal Trainers in the world

But the ONLY reason I was able to do any of this was because my Uncle died

As a regular Personal Trainer, and single parent, I didn't have 5K to pay for Practitioner training; I didn't have any spare, disposable income

And I've never forgotten what that was like and how it felt

And that's why I've decided to offer a mini version of The NLP Coach

Because the reality is joining the full NLP Coach programme (Ā£2400 +VAT) isn't an option for a lot of Coaches right now

It isn't affordable

And neither is the Payment Plan (12 x £200 +VAT) particularly those early on in their Coaching career, in the current economic climate

Introducing The NLP Coach INTRO Programme; get started for just £50

When I say mini what I actually mean is 25%

āž”ļø 25% of the taught content: 10 x 45 minutes Masterclasses + 90 minute Workshop = 9 hours total (instead of 36 hours total)

āž”ļø 25% of the accreditation: 9 ICF CCEs (instead of 36 ICF CCEs)

āž”ļø 25% of the cost: Ā£600 (instead of Ā£2400)

āž”ļø 25% of the Payment Plan: 12 x Ā£50 (instead of 12 x Ā£200)

āž”ļø 25% of the Community Reward Bonus: 6 months Community Access when you pay in full, 3 months when you join the payment plan

Plus you can offset the £600 fee against the cost of the full programme when you upgrade

Absolutely nothing to lose ... EVERYTHING to gain

And you can get started for just £50 with the Payment Plan

I'm so very excited to be able to teach more Coaches how to help their Clients get exceptional results, quickly

Please Comment or DM INTERESTED and I'll send the details across for you

PS Can't believe I still have the original brochure šŸ˜‚

Money is a REAL issue for so many Coaches at the moment ... it's tough out there

I offer a 12 month Payment Plan to join The NLP Coach which was almost unheard of in the industry or at least it was until none other than Amy Porterfield announced this week she was offering a 16 month Payment Plan to join Digital Course Academy.

And when Amy Porterfield does something, the rest of the industry stands up and takes notice ... never mind that that Pam Rigden woman has always done it šŸ˜‚

And what does it tell us that she has chosen to introduce this at this time ??

It tells us 1) it's b****y it's tough out there right now and 2) some cash in the bank is better than none ... that's what it tells us

But the reality is that my Payment Plan 12 x £200 +VAT is still too much for the majority of Coaches, particularly those early on in their Coaching career, in the current economic climate

And so, because Affordability and Accessibility are right up there at the top of my list of business values, I have decided to offer a mini version of The NLP Coach programme

And when I say mini I mean 25%

25% of the taught content: 10 x 45 minutes Masterclasses + 90 minute Workshop = 9 hours total

25% of the accreditation: 9 ICF CCEs

25% of the cost: £600 (instead of £2400)

25% of the Payment Plan: 12 x £50 (instead of 12 x £200)

25% of the Community Reward Bonus: 6 months Community Access when you pay in full, 3 months when you join the payment plan

Plus you can offset whatever you pay, for example £600, against the cost of the full programme when you upgrade

Absolutely nothing to lose ... EVERYTHING to gain

And you can get started for just £50

I'm so very excited to be able to teach more Coaches how to help their Clients get exceptional results, quickly

Recommendations don’t come much better than this …

and the fact that Yvette is willing to say this almost 20 years later blows my mind 🤯

I first met Yvette in August 2006 when I was presenting at the canfitpro World Expo in Toronto for the first time.

Back in the day when conference organisers still paid for your travel from the other side of the World, put you up in the best hotel in town and there were flowers 🌺 and a card in your room to greet you.

Yvette had registered for the inaugural INLPTA 4 Day NLP Diploma course for Fitness Professionals

Yvette was at that time Personal Trainer

I was a relatively new, and inexperienced, NLP Trainer having only qualified in 2003

Yvette went on to complete both her INLPTA Practitioner and Master Practitioner qualifications over the next 2 years …

… that is, 32 days of NLP training!

I remember everyone of those days!

I have followed Yvette’s incredible career and have felt such pride as she reinvented herself as a Motivational Speaker and she finally enjoys the recognition and success she so rightly deserves.

And never more than when I saw her name listed as one of the Presenters at this year’s canfitpro World Expo

Yvette Raposo we came full circle!

BUT here’s the thing … as a teacher, or Mentor, we can give our students and clients the knowledge and skills they need to uplevel their lives and businesses ā€˜immediately and forever’

And it is up to each individual student to apply that knowledge, and those skills, to make that happen

That’s what Yvette did

That’s why she is successful

And Yvette, sadly, is the exception rather than the rule

Too many people - even Coaches - are willing to invest 2 - 3K in a programme, NOT take action and even blame their teacher or mentor when it doesn’t happen for them šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø

As a teacher it is one of the hardest lessons to learn

to NOT be attached to your student’s outcome

to NOT feel guilty for having accepted money from somebody who you know has all of the knowledge, skills and opportunity - both personal and professional - at their fingertips and who then CHOOSES to do NOTHING with it šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø

If this is you, I have two pieces of advice for you

1) take responsibility, please

2) be more Yvette!

And if you’re a Coach who does take responsibility for your outcomes (and believe me when I say I have met plenty now who don’t)

… and you’d like to start your NLP journey with me so that like Yvette you’re still saying nice things about me in 20 years time

… please comment here or DM me and I’ll send you an invite to join us for our upcoming FREE NLP Masterclass Series UNSTUCK

Somehow between being away in Cornwall, and all of the excitement over hearing firstly that the ICF have accredited UNSTUCK (6 CCEs) -plus finding out that we can award CCEs for each of the individual sessions - I completely forgot that I promised to post about Day 3!

So here goes ...

Day 3 of UNSTUCK (Thursday 12th September 12pm - 1.30pm UK BST)

It's all about how to Motivate Your Clients.

You will learn The New Behaviour Generator, a 4 Step NLP process that involves asking your Client a series of powerful questions to help them design new behaviours, and run them through their mind, before trying them out. They visualise and then mentally rehearse the new behaviour and so ā€˜pace’ themselves into their new future.

You will also learn about Eye Accessing Cues as the process relies on asking your Client to firstly think about what they want to do differently (this is the ā€˜new’ behaviour), before asking them what the new behaviour will look like. Finally you will ask them to step into the new behaviour and feel how it is.

If you don't know what Eye Accessing Cues are this won't make much sense!
So come and learn the theory and find out how using the New Behaviour Generator will help you motivate your Clients in this unique 90 minute Masterclass.

I promise you, your Clients will thank you for it!

I'll be popping back tomorrow with an announcement about the Day 4 Bonus Session!

PS if by any chance you are one of the few Coaches who hasn't registered yet - at the last count 915 have - I'll pop the link in the first comment for you!
