If you want to learn and put into practice a coaching niche that is guaranteed to be both lucrative and exciting, executive career coaching can’t be beat!

Here are the Facts About This Exciting, Fulfilling,
and Lucrative Career

Coaching is a fairly new industry as industries go…it began in 1989.  And we were the first to apply it to executive career transition in 2005.  So you are getting in on the ground floor of a HUGE opportunity!

Here are some facts you will want to know…

• Coaching is now a $1.5 billion industry

• 6 out of 10 Fortune 500 companies use coaches for their executives…
  but there aren't enough uniquely qualified Executive Career Coaches™ to meet the need!

• Executive and business coaching expect to grow 500% in the next two years…It is a billion dollar industry, and the coaches who position themselves NOW are the ones who will benefit the most!
  
• Companies pay fees ranging anywhere from $900 to $15,000 per month for executive coaching… with the right skills and tools, you can tap into this very quickly and easily!
  
• No other career gives you the chance to be so highly rewarded and appreciated for doing such important and impactful work.

Given these facts, you can see why executive career coaches are in such demand – and there is an UNLIMITED market! You can learn the skills and knowledge you need to be a successful executive career coach in as little as 12 weeks…and earn your tuition back within the first few months! 

But I’m getting ahead of myself…

What IS Executive Career Coaching Anyway?

Career coaching is a specific way of working with people – over the phone or, if you prefer, in person – to help them discover what would most fulfill them and creating the path to get there.  They may be in job transition, or they may simply be unhappy in their current position.  You learn to help by asking coaching questions, providing feedback, helping them stretch beyond what they thought was possible, and keeping them accountable on the path to their goal – including overcoming any barriers that may arise.

When working with executives, common coaching issues include how to stay challenged when they have reached the top position in an organization, how to manage the incredible stress at the C-level, and how to effectively manage a team and effectively achieve business goals.

What Executive Career Coaches Earn

The income you earn as an executive career coach depends entirely on your willingness to apply the systems we teach you to a carefully crafted market, with a strategic business perspective. Whether you want to supplement your existing income with an extra 10 to 25 percent per month, or want to build an entire new business (as many students do) earning $100,000 or more, both goals are with your reach as a career coach.

Companies pay fees ranging anywhere from $900 to $15,000 per month for executive coaching.

So with just 10 clients you make $9000 or more per month. And with the new innovative bundled pricing strategies we teach, you can reach a 6-figure coaching practice within 1-2 years! It takes a solid plan, a sequential marketing process, and dedication to excellence.

The bonuses on launching and marketing your practice which you receive with your training (see below) are designed to help you build a successful practice by doing what the successful coaches do. Another variable is other activities that provide additional profit centers, such as selling assessments, writing and selling books and e-books, speaking for pay, etc. 

But you can definitely earn a good living – whether you want a few dollars to afford a nicer car or extra vacations, or intend to build a 6- or 7-figure business.

The Skills and Expertise You Will Gain

We know from experience that there are several primary areas you must master if you are to become a skilled career coach.  And our materials address each of these areas.

A. Career Coaching

1. Part One of the Training --The Practice of Career Coaching:  First, you need to understand the industry of coaching, and career coaching in particular.  And that includes the ethics of coaching -- all of this is covered in Part 1.
   
2. Part Two of the Training --Authentic Vocation Model of Career Design: Next, you need to have a template to use with clients to help them design a job and/or career that will be both fulfilling and financially rewarding.  We help you understand and learn to use the 8-part Authentic Vocation™ Model of Career Development.  It not only helps the client with his/her job choice, but with his/her overall purpose in life.  The model has been proven over 20+ years and is highly effective with all types of career coaching clients -- especially those in midlife or mid-career! 
   
3. Part Three of the Training --QuantumShift! Coaching: Now that you know the elements of an ideal job or career, how do you facilitate the client'sdiscovery of it?  That's where our trademarked QuantumShift!™ Coaching comes in.  Incorporating all 70 of the ICF core coaching competencies, you learn a simple -- but not necessarily easy! -- 3-step model and the 3 levels of coaching that are available.  Powerful questions, listening techniques, feedback, modeling, keeping clients accountable while being supportive, and more are included in Part 3. 
   
4. Part Four of the Training -- Job Search Mechanics: And finally, in Part 4, you discover how to coach clients on all aspects of their job search.  From resumes to networking, interviewing skills to negotiating, and what proportion of unpublished vs. published job leads the client should use -- you learn it all here.  You’ll even get insight into how to use LinkedIn, Facebook and MySpace – as well as personal branding – to help your clients get the job they want!

B. Executive Career Coaching

You will also receive 18 hours of in-depth training in the unique challenges and issues involved in coaching executive level clients.

We at Executive Career Coach Institute teach you something that no other program does: the issues presented by executive clients in their career planning. These issues are much more complex than those of other career coaching clients! Discover how to work with this lucrative yet demanding client group. And with the right skills and tools, you can tap into this very quickly and easily!

Here’s just some of what you’ll learn:

• What executive career coaching is, and is not – and whether it is right for you
• How to avoid common mistakes in executive career coaching
• Emotional Intelligence and how it can either get an executive to derail or be promoted
• How to “get inside the executive’s head” to understand the challenges of today’s complex workplace and how to coach the leader through them
• Succession planning tips
• Calculating ROI (return on investment) so companies will hire you
• What makes a masterful leader
• How to fill your practice with executive clients that love working with you
• Coaching as a catalyst to outstanding team dynamics and improved performance

Your Certified Executive Career Coach (CECC) program includes in-depth training in all of these areas. 

But that’s not all!

You Can Gain a Prestigious Coaching Credential --
Recognized Worldwide --
With This Program

One of the “door openers” for a career coach is having a recognized industry credential.  You receive the Certified Executive Career Coach™ credential - which the International Coach Federation has approved for 30 hours of Approved Coach-Specific Training Hours - once you complete your training and 50 practice coaching hours.  Your clients will immediately know that not only have you been trained as a coach – but as a coach in the specialty they are seeking:  career coaching.

Coaching is a new field, which means there are tremendous opportunities. But there aer also those who do the rest of us a disservice by simply hanging out a shingle and calling themselves a coach - with no coach-specific training. The CCI program is best suited to responsible professionals who want to obtain appropriate training before working as a coach. To do it right, you need to connect with the oldest coaching school of its kind, a school that is both recognized and respected globally, a school that is known as the BEST. That school is CCI.

Our credential is recognized around the world as the premier career coaching credential.  And with the stamp of approval by the International Coach Federation (received on our previous program and expected to be renewed on the new May 2008 version once submitted), you have the best of both worlds in credentialing!

We have trained and certified hundreds of students who have gone on to launch their own successful career coaching businesses.

2.  Original content:  Our founder, Marcia Bench, authored the first and only textbook specifically focused on Career Coaching: Career Coaching: An Insider’s Guide.  This benchmark textbook and its companion Study Guide was just updated and revised in May 2008 – and you get the new edition of these valuable resources with your training!  This textbook creates and foundation for our training programs.  In other words, we have authored our OWN model and content. We don’t ask you to read someone else’s book to learn coaching --you read ours and use our workbook, our audio content, and our proprietary models for career design and for navigating the job search. 

3.  ICF Accreditation: Our coach certification program has been accredited for 30 hours of Coach Specific Training by the International Coach Federation (“ICF”) when you take the PREMIUM option (see below).   This coveted designation is awarded to programs that meet professional standards for coach training programs established by the ICF.

We are also accredited by the Institute for Career Certification and other associations.  

4.  A customized, flexible learning experience for busy students:  We offer a one-of-a-kind blended learning approach with maximum flexibility and a personal touch.  You can choose from books, online modules, teleclasses, online discussion groups, audio, and more.  If you can’t attend teleclasses each week, listen to the mp3 file of the class – or download it to your ipod!  Want a refresher or need to reinforce something you missed?  View the online e-module - consisting of Power Point slides and audio -- on each key concept of our program.  We accommodate multiple learning styles, so whether you like to learn visually, auditorily, or kinesthetically, you will learn easily with our methods.

What Does It Cost to Become an Executive Career Coach?

When I was in your shoes, unhappy in my job as an executive and longing for a way to get OUT…to carve my own path to success…I looked at the coach training I invested in as an investment in my future.  The tuition you invest is your “seed money” for your future business and personal earnings.  Your return on investment just the first year of your coaching business could be 20 times your tuition – and that’s if you earned just $60,000!

You can begin today with as little as $590 under our 6-payment plan…or you can pay the entire $3497 in one payment if you choose (or less if you choose the home study option - see below).  Our convenient payment options allow you to learn while you begin to earn – since the training only takes 3 months to complete, you can be actively coaching for fees before your payment plan is even complete!

Let me put this in perspective.  If you were to be mentored 1:1 by me to learn career coaching, at my hourly rate of $500/hour, it would cost you in excess of $9000.  And that’s before you start the process of setting up your business and doing your marketing!

What You’ll Lose Out on If You DON’T Enroll

Okay, so by now you’re probably thinking this sounds like a good idea…and you would like to become a career coach.  But maybe you are putting it off, thinking you will wait for another 6 months, ask a friend about what they think, etc, right?  Or you’re moving, going through a divorce or other life circumstances are changing.

I want to ask you to think about where your life will be in 6-12 months if you DON’T enroll now.  You’ll still be on the merry go round of commuting to a job you don’t like, feeling dead-ended, having no time for yourself or your family – and earning exactly what you are earning now.  And your gifts and talents will be wasted!

If you are a business owner now and considering adding career coaching to what you already do, if you don’t enroll you’ll still be struggling to make ends meet, wishing you could do something to add revenue to both top and bottom line – and be at the mercy of the economic ups and downs.

Tony Robbins once said that “It’s in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.”
What will your destiny be if you embark on a new career now that will increase your income, your fulfillment and enjoyment of life?  What will it be if you don’t?
