Coaching Skills Training
- Have you ever thought of being a coach?
- Do you need to learn more coaching skills for your job?
- Are you a new manager who needs coaching and leadership skills?
Do you really think you could be a highly paid professional coach? You’d be surprised, VERY surprised, at how simple and straight-forward it is to get into this business - and succeed.

“Darren, I would like to say thanks for the advice you gave. You really helped me look at my experience in a way in which I have not. Darren, you forced me to think!” Linda B. feng-shui practitioner |
Are you searching for your passport to freedom? Your one chance to control your destiny, to give your family the security and financial freedom they deserve and the lifestyle you yearn for?
Perhaps, like me 10 years ago, you’re sick and tired working countless hours to make someone else’s business succeed risking your future wealth and prosperity on the whims, wishes and weaknesses of others. Letting others decide whether you get the pay raise you deserve or the step-up to the job you know you can succeed at is asking for financial trouble. Or perhaps you’re at the stage where others are fast tracked above you for no good reason.
Fact is that you like many others, have the potential to do more but are forced by the needs of your company, the lack of vision, or fear of those above you to be frustrated beyond words.

“I’ve been an engineer for nearly twenty years, seven of those years I have spent running my own consulting firm. This Kit has made me realize why my business is not growing and how I can correct it. Thanks Darren!”Cyle D Blue Moon Inc |
Perhaps owning your own company is something you’ve always dreamed of but always felt was just beyond your reach? Maybe you worried that you do not have the capital to start it and do not want to risk everything you own to get it?

This isn’t work, |
You Already Possess the Skills to be Successful!!
Knowledge is the new gold. If you know something others don’t or have a skill that others need, you can be a coach. Don’t be fooled by the title. A coach is only someone with knowledge, or good listening skills that your client needs. And you may be surprised by how much you know.
Everyone has at least two sets of knowledge - what you know and how you do your job. For example if you sell software, you know all about the software and you also know how to sell. This opens up two coaching opportunities for you. By the time you add specialist knowledge about your hobbies and what you have learned from past experiences and successes, there may be four, five or even six potential markets available to you.
Opportunities are Endless Once You Know How
Not all coaches are Business coaches. The opportunities are enormous with many relatively new fields available. Business Coaches are now joined by Life and Spiritual Coaches, beauty and personal care coaches, personal trainers, retail coaches, holiday advisers, sports trainers - the opportunities are boundless limited only by your imagination.
The term coach can also be confusing. A coach is someone who takes a client’s problems and helps them find a solution. But you can also be a trainer, a mentor, a personal advisor or an advisor. All are slightly different but each has offers you tremendous opportunities for personal development.
OK so what’s holding you back?
1. No passionate desire for a better and more secure future?
2. A feeling of insecurity that you cannot succeed on your own?
3. The confidence to make that break and take that first step to freedom?
4. Belief that you don’t know enough?
5. Fear that you can’t compete with the larger firms?
6. Fear that you don’t have sufficient resources?
Let’s be honest. If you have no desire to improve your financial position and secure a better way of life, then coaching - and any of life’s other challenges- is probably not for you.
If you believe you cannot succeed on your own, then you are like most of the rest of us who have! Ok some people are hyper-confident and set off on this journey without a worry. I was not like that and I don’t believe many successful coaches are. It is the small nagging concerns that will keep you alive during the early years. After all animals not afraid of the jungle tend to have short lives!
| The Ultimate Coaching Success kit is a dream come true. Unlike many other products out there,”The Ultimate Coaching Success Kit” truly fulfills its promise to the buyer - instead of giving you generic applications, un-useable business plans, and mediocre resources, Darren has put together a package that provides coach-specific tips, tools and techniques on subjects ranging from marketing and pricing to building long-term relationships with clients and partners. The business plan is absolutely awesome, and the resources have shaved months off of market research and product innovation.The tips, tools, resources, plans, and templates in this kit are simply the best and most useable I’ve found - and this is the only kit I’ve found with all of them in one place. Finding these separately would have wasted a lot of precious time in starting up my consulting.Using this kit has freed me to focus on putting the plans into action and getting down to the business of making money. “The Ultimate Coaching Success Kit” isn’t for armchair quarterbacks, daydreamers, or those people who want to spend the rest of their lives “planning” the perfect business. This success kit is solely for people who are serious about making money in this field and *achieving* success!Dee K - http://www.yourholistichealthcoach.com |
If a lack of confidence and a feeling of insecurity or just a lack of knowledge of what to do are all that are holding you back - relax that is why I wrote this guide.
Think you don’t know enough? None of us know everything and if you wait until you do you will be to old. The point of a coach is that she knows enough about her subject to be able to add much greater value than the cost of her fee. Look at how many companies are run, or people run their lives, and then tell me you cannot add value!
So perhaps you believe that ‘big’ coaching firms will not let you survive. Many of these firms take on juniors with little knowledge of their industry and let them loose on clients’ projects, with an occasional review from their line manager. Yes overcoming the image of their brand name can be difficult on occasions, but many clients prefer a job done efficiently to a name that will cost them more for little, if any, extra value. That is how you compete with named firms.
Lack of resources? I started with nothing but a second hand computer and nothing in the bank! It is not the ideal way to start but it was not a barrier for me and need not be one for you either.
Decide What You Really Want
Some people will promise that you’ll make $millions from coaching in the first few years. That would be very nice, but it just isn’t true for the vast majority. However if you want to:
1. Earn two to ten times what you do now,
2. Keep what you earn and stop others enjoying the fruits of your labor,
3. Decide who to work for and what you do,
4. Choose when to holiday and when to rest,
5. Enjoy your work by ‘hiring’ the right clients,
6. Get more job satisfaction in a month than you’ve had for years,
7. Be in the position to decide whether or not to attend your family’s special celebrations rather than be told what to do, then…
…coaching is for you.
If you want to start your own coaching Practice now … then the Coaching Success Kit is absolutely critical to help you achieve your goal in double quick time. It covers everything you need to know and will have you on-track to success in hours. The Kit shows you:
1. How to become a successful coach by following the exact business Plan I used to fund and start my business (updated for 2006).
2. How to plan and develop a coaching service that will become the provider of all you require in life and more.
3. How you can get clients and get top dollar for your services without any coaching experience at all
4. How you can reduce the risk and maximize the financial return.
5. How you can find and keep customers.
Would you ask a banker to do your dental work?
If you want to design a new house, do you ask the guy next door or an architect? Would you take lifesaving lessons from someone who can’t swim? Would you see a lawyer about fire prevention?
Well some people may but the chances are that you will learn more from an architect, a lifesaver or a fireman. If someone else was doing my dental work - I want just one person - the best!
I started with nothing 10 years ago and have not only survived but enjoy:
- A higher standard of living than I ever had before,
- Learned more than ever I did when working for others - which adds to my value,
- Had 10 years experience not one year’s experience 10 times,
- Visited places and countries I’d only read about,
- Shared in great projects that I would never have seen if working for others,
- Created security for my family,
- Enjoyed almost every minute of those 10 years,
- A great pride in knowing ‘I did it’.
Aim for Surefire Success - Not Ulcers!
Coaching is a great life - if you start off properly. Many coaches are doomed to a twilight zone of hard work, low pay and ulcers! This is because they did not plan before they started and never tried to resolve the issues that hold them back.
Your initial plan will determine your final success. It’s as simple as that. If a ship leaves harbor without a route, then where will it go? Who knows! If you start a business without a plan, where will you get to?
You may prosper. But why take the chance when you can grab every last piece of information you need at this very minute?
If you need to learn coaching skills, you have come to the right place. I have been training leaders and coaches for many years.
Some of my coach clients have gone on to become Business, Executive or Life Coaches, while others have benefited from learning good techniques for bringing out the best in people.
Building the best or professional services practice requires clarity, a proven system and on-going support. Coach Darren ensures you have the information, tools and ongoing support to move your practice to the next level of success. Since 2002, we have worked with over 300 consultants and high-value services advisors who have made huge leaps in their practices, all because they took the time to create a plan for consistently marketing their services and followed through with their intentions.
Coach Darren begins by clarifying your goals for marketing your practice during your initial consultation. We quickly focus on those issues that are most important to you. The specific aspects of business development that you want to concentrate on. Coach Darren will give you the on-going support, accountability and acknowledgement that you need to help keep you on track and gently force you to make your practice the success you desire.
