Hey Coach,

Greetings from the campus of Seton Hall University!  Today is our first day of training camp for the upcoming soccer season.  I am very enthusiastic about the team this year – the guys are eager for a fresh start.  Last season was rough – our worst record in my 14 seasons with the team.  BUT that is the beautiful thing about periodization: when the season is over, you take a break and then a new season comes and you get to start over. 

Think about bringing the idea of a new season and a fresh start into the BIG games of your life – your business, your romance, your career, your family.

Speaking of a new season…

We start a new semester of classes in the Center for Coaching Mastery in a few weeks – Classes begin September 1st.  If you’ve been thinking about getting started in Coach training or renewing your quest for mastery, or looking for a great way to get CCEU’s, NOW is a perfect time to jump in.  Whether full time or part time, the MOST important thing is to get into the game and PLAY! 

The full teleclass catalog is here!
Our new teleclass catalog is pretty snappy!
Please check it out and tell me what you think.

Play BIG! The Sprit of PLAY Lives On In YOU.

What EVERY Coach Needs to Know.
10 BOLD truths that will set you free… to Coach!WhatEveryCoach-banner-v1-jpg

A new complimentary teleclass for CV Members.
The first one is Monday 8/17 at 9PM ET

Remember the saying:
the truth shall set you free

 Well, on this call we will explore 10 BOLD truths about professional coaching that we hope will set you FREE… to Coach!

Here is just a sample of what you will discover…

TRUTH #3: You sign clients
based on WHO you are.

(more than HOW well you Coach)

Coaching is an INVESTMENT. A Player will ONLY invest in a Coach they believe in.
The hidden truth is that you already have a LOT more credibility than you probably realize.

TRUTH #5: You retain clients based on how WELL you coach

Coaching is about results, not rent-a-friend! When your players get positive results and see progress, they stick around. But how do you get results when you are NEW to coaching? The hidden truth is that while there are no shortcuts on the path to mastery, with the right method you can get very good very quickly.

TRUTH #8: There is a 6-figure coaching model for almost EVERY game that can be coached

There are several proven business models that you can mold and combine to create the right offer, with the right value at the right price-point for the players you coach. The hidden truth is that you must master the Attraction Principle “Add Value for the Joy of it”.

Professional Coaching is Growing FAST!

We plan to clear up several misconceptions that often block people from going for a career in professional coaching. By the way, professional coaching is one of the fastest growing careers in the world and for good reasons that we will explain on the call.

> Are you ready to jump into the amazing world of professional coaching?

 > Are you possibly considering it as one option for bringing purpose and meaning to your life and career?

> Are you yearning for the freedom you could experience when you have a coaching business of your own design?

In the last CV Member News we stated that Coach Dave presented the Super Conductivity Workshop at the TLC gathering.

Dave presented a talk on the Inspiration Economy – which was HOT!

Step Up and Stand Out #8: Your Offers

Posted by Dave Buck on August 5, 2009 under | DAVE BUCK | 10 Comments to Read

Another intense session.  Today we got down to BUSINESS.  Exactly what do you offer and what is the pice? 

**!! PLEASE share the Game and the  3 P’s of your core offer with everyone.  This will help all of us to clarify our offers and expand our awareness of what we are all doing! **!!

Here is the helpful outline…

 

1) Clearing: The business of coaching.

INVITE the thought: $100,000/year as a Coach is EASY.
Enjoy the feeling of that thought in your body.
Welcome any thoughts, feelings, emotions or memories that support the thought OR seem contrary to the thought.

2) They are investing in themselves with YOU.

What is the return on investment?

3) How to reduce the RISK of the Investment?
With your 3 M’s
Message – Model – Method
A) a MESSAGE that connects and inspires will make them feel safe with you.
B) a business MODEL that has you feeling good about yourself and your business success will give you confidence which they will feel
C) your METHOD gives both of you the certainty that the desired results are attainable and sustainable.

4) The THREE P’s of an OFFER
What do you provide?
What do you promise?
What is the price?

 

KEY POINT: People invest to increase their wealth! So how will coaching with you and playing better increase their wealth in 1 or more of the 9 areas of wealth?

 

5) VALUE (we didn’t cover this in class today and will cover it on Thursday)

Once you establish your offer…
in particular the price,

THEN you put yourself on a QUEST in PURSUIT of VALUE;  What will make coaching with you worth SOOO much more than the price / investment?

How can you add more and more value for the JOY of it.

So….
How do you currently describe YOUR CORE offer.  Please post a comment.

 

Step Up and Stand Out #7 Your Wealth

This session on Wealth really hit a chord with the folks in the class!  It seems most of us have had a very limited perspective on what wealth IS.  The feeling of expansion was beautiful.

1) People INVEST to CREATE WEALTH

You MUST Demonstrate / Display the kind of wealth THEY value in order to look like a good / sound investment for them.  They look at you and think: If I invest in this Coach, I feel confident that I can create the kind of wealth that this Coach seems to have.

When People INVEST, they want a return on their investment.
What is the return? The value to THEM of playing the game better and winning.

When you have a solid method for Coaching you create certainty for potential clients – they feel that “spending time” with you and your service is a good investment.

When people INVEST in Coaching…
The INVEST in themselves AND
They INVEST in YOU as a Coach.

You have tremendous Wealth!
Wealth is the accumulation of VALUE.

Areas of Wealth / Value include:
Knowledge, Experience, Talent
Character, Community, Connection (spiritual)
Health, Finance, Relationship

Welcome the feeling that YOU ARE VALUE

Then welcome any thoughts, feelings, memories, or emotions that may seem contrary to this thought.
Remember times when you felt de-valued
Acknowledge thoughts of Scarcity
Welcome ALL of it to your Wealth Party

Know that every experience you have ever had has contributed to YOUR wealth in real terms.

3) Step Up! What does it really mean?

4) The Whole Wealth Exercise

5) REACH OUT – Your REAL Value

Ask 2 Questions…
1) What was the REAL reason you hired me?
2) What was the REAL value of me

5 People: Clients, Former Clients, People you have served in some way.


Play a BIGGER Game in life
Step through the doubts and fears
Step into the challenge of clarity
Step into OWNING your value
Keep playing even when it is NOT easy

Play with a partner using the Wealth Creation Game Form to document your current wealth.

2) Invite the thought:
I AM WILLING to BE VALUED

Step Up and Stand Out #6 – Your Credibility Stories

Posted by Dave Buck on under | DAVE BUCK | Be the First to Comment

step-up-and-stand-out-6-your-credibility-stories

08/03/09
Here is an outline of what we covered…

1) Human Greatness ONLY occurs in the face of challenge!
This program IS challenging.  I know that.
It is designed to challenge you where you are probably weakest: Your Clarity about Who You Coach, How You Coach and the Game you Coach
and next Your VALUE as a Coach.
Clarity is challenging!  Accept that as a truth and vow to keep at it.  Make clarity your quest.
Clarity = clients!
2) Your Credibility Story Matrix
For every element of your coaching method, you need a real life story that demonstrates it.
The story can be from your own life.
The story can be from someone you know that you played the game with.
The story can be from a Player you coached (this is the best kind)
Talking about your method is very powerful, AND it comes to life through your stories.
You must have a story for the following:
1) The Vision / definitions for winning – how they were achieved
2) The Tangible Objectives – a few typical 12- week objectives, what happened and the results
3) The Recurring actions of the game and how you learned or taught them to become a leveraged skill
4) Typical game plans that leverage strengths
5) Typical challenges and how they were overcome.
6) Typical inner game blocks and how you resolved them
7) Typical Environmental design challenges and how you created shifts for sustainable winning
8) Recurring results that lead to an objective being reached.

Please share your feedback about this session…
