Practice Development For Professional Coaches
For Individuals and Small Groups

Next class starts TBA.

During 2004, Schilling and Maure and Julie Layne designed and delivered a 2-day course with 90 days follow-up to help new coaches develop their client-based coaching business. We had rave reviews from the participants and have since then delightedly received reports of how they have put what they learned with us into action in their professional life.

We remain passionate about providing a support structure to empower coaches to establish viable, sustainable and ultimately thriving practices. In order to meet the diverse requests for class start dates and locations, we have redesigned the course structure in order to be able to deliver the class to individuals or very small groups.

The new model combines evening or half-day weekend class sessions with conference calls, independent study and individual coaching. The program still extends over a 90 day period, but the introduction of material and timing of exercises are spaced to allow more time for learning and practical application over the duration of the program. Our new pricing structure is set to allow for us to lead the course for groups of 1-6 participants, with the ability to be far more flexible on start dates.

As in our original program; participants will engage in rigorous work focused on developing and embodying key competencies for various stages of Coaching Practice development.
