Train the Trainer: More Details

Further, all the above I’m calling Level 1 (L1). Those who complete L1 and have the aptitude for it will be invited to lead L1 leadership coaching circles themselves. In order to assist them in so doing I will lead what I’m calling Level 2 (L2) offering the following benefits:

·       Participation in twice per month training and guidance calls in group coaching skills so that L2 participants can lead their own L1 circles earning up to $400 per month per circle. Of course, L2 leaders can charge whatever they wish for the L1 circles they lead. This could be charging nothing to L1 participants. However, my experience is that unless people pay something for participation, they tend not to be as invested.

·       Also L2 leaders do not have to lead the coaching skills classes themselves, which would be part of what they are offering their L1 participants just like in the L1 benefits, described above. Their L1 circle members participate in these twice per month coaching skills classes that I will lead each four-month semester.

·       There will be other benefits to help Circle leaders, which will evolve over time. One of them is that if they enroll one of their L1 participants to become L2 leaders after they complete L1, the original L2 leader would receive half of the income for their L1 leader becoming an L2 leader.

·       Further, persons who are seeking credentialing as a life coach, need coaching hours to achieve certification. This program will allow them to gain coaching experience. In order to supercharge this benefit, L2 leaders could add an individual coaching component with their L1 participants adding a great number of hours of coaching to further help them accumulate paid coaching hours for certification.

·       2 CEU’s will be awarded for participation in L2.

·       The cost for all the benefits for L2 is $100 per month for 5 months for each semester an L2 circle leader is active. Payments will be made by check.

·       The first L2 leaders will begin meeting in January 2014 to prepare to lead their L1 circles beginning in February 2014.
