Calling All Coaches... - April 17, 2007 Bright The DayGreetings, and welcome to another issue of e-divine, the newsletter dedicated to helping you Build a Better Life and a Better World through the Spiritual Practice of Everyday Life.This issue is focused specifically on tools useful for professional coaches, both new and experienced. If this particular topic doesn't resonate with you, look for the next issue of e-divine, which will focus on 'Basking in the Sun'! To ensure this newsletter is both empowering and immediately relevant for you, I would love to hear your feedback on what inspires you, what resonates for you, and how I can do more of both of those! Please send your comments, insights and suggestions on what you'd like to see in future issues to me at adam@dailydivine.com! Enjoy! Featured ArticleCalling All Coaches...Based on years of experience of coaching and training new professional coaches, I have decided to dedicate part of my practice to providing the very support I would have loved to have received many years ago. Below you will find details on the program itself, and on how you can join me in this brand new endeavour! The Program The Acorn Oak Coaching Success Program is specifically designed to provide accessible mentoring and support for emerging professional coaches working with clients in the areas of education, social justice, community building, the arts, environment, and health and wellness. The cost of mentor coaching can be quite daunting, and yet it can make the difference between a well-intentioned idea and a thriving coaching practice. When your target market is in an area that is traditionally underpaid (and often undervalued in many other ways), it can be even more challenging to tap into the support you need to help you make a living, and make a difference! The Acorn Oak Coaching Success Program was created to answer that need, and to help you achieve continuous inspiration and success. The program is limited to FIVE participants, who will each receive individual coaching and feedback, and who will also participate in monthly group coaching and peer interaction. This includes two 45-minute individual coaching sessions per month, one 45-minute Instant Feedback coaching session per month, and one 90-minute group coaching session per month with all Acorn Oak participants. The program cost is $300 CAN per month, which will be billed via PayPal at the beginning of each month. Alternatively, participants who choose to pay for the entire six months up front will pay only $1500 CAN - a $300 savings! Join me for a free 60-minute teleclass further outlining the program, and find out more about this unique offering! To join the teleclass on either Friday, April 20th or Friday, April 27th at 2:00 p.m. ET, email adam@mentorcoach.ca to let me know you would like to join us, and on which day you will be joining the call! You will then receive an email detailing the call-in number and PIN. There's a limited number of spaces available on each call, so be sure to reserve your space today! How to Apply This six-month program will be limited to FIVE participants, who will each receive individual coaching and feedback, and who will also participate in monthly group coaching and peer interaction. The final deadline for applications is May 4th, 2007.
