Want to learn how to make a difference in people's lives and business results?

Learn the Secrets of Effective Business Coaching!

Dear Prospective Coach,

If you're interested in helping people get results that matter, learning how to serve your clients with transaction and transformational coaching, or adding coaching skills to your current profession, then this might be the most important letter you'll ever read.

The B\COACH OPPORTUNITY is unlike anything you've experienced in consulting, teaching, training or counseling.  We train coaches the only way that really assures integration of coach knowledge--through an experientially driven program based on proven results-driven feedback.

Now, I know you're probably skeptical. That's normal and healthy. We'll tell you in a minute how you can take full advantage of this system, but first, allow us to give you three major reasons for our claims.

Three Reasons Our Program is Credible

 

  • Our training and development system is based on proven personal and organizational learning principles established by Chris Arygyris, Donald Schon and other well-respected experts.  Our methodology not only is foundationally sound in terms of learning design, theory and practice, it is continuously updated on a regular basis to encompass the most recent evolution of elearning principles.

  • Not only do we incorporate sophisticated learning models in each weekly training opportunity over the six-month program, we have integrated personal and organizational development into all modules of the program.  We have woven together the latest emotional intelligence development and sophisticated business practices including the balanced scorecard, integral leadership development, new economy marketing systems and strategy focused coaching .

  • Our graduation rates are the highest in the industry.  Unlike other programs that have piece-meal curriculums, high travel costs and ineffective systems of coach development, our accredited program leads to coach certification that is balanced between virtual and face to face experience.  Instead of paying for coaching, marketing and leadership programs that are "tacked" on to popular coaching programs, our entire system is integrated tightly to produce an effective business and executive coach system.

Here is a summary of the benefits you receive

 

  • Lifetime membership in a learning community designed for support, growth and knowledge sharing.
  • Your own business coach to support and guide you at no extra charge.  You receive 6 months of after-coaching when you complete the training to give you increased advantage in developing your coaching practice.
  • Personal development through our Leadership Foundation™ System [using 6 world-class assessments proven  valid and reliable.]
  • Complete system of coach training and a license to use it when you graduate.
  • New economy marketing system for attracting a continuous supply of clients through mastery of online and offline promotion.  This program is integrated into your training, not some add-on or after thought!
  • Experiential training with feedback each week of the program with certified facilitators who help you integrate the material faster.
  • Access to business strategies through our CoachMBA program so you can talk the talk.
  • Weekly teledevelopment classes designed to create action learning opportunities through interactivity.
  • Intranet membership with continuously updated elearning modules and supporting material integrated to support the program of learning.
  • Access to successful community members who need your help in fulfilling their contracts.
  • Peer mentoring opportunities among your other class members during your training.
  • Opportunity to certify as a business coach upon completing graduation if you meet the qualifications for experience.
  • Take part in a structured learning approach designed specifically for each person through a developmental plan.
  • Enjoy the lowest facilitator to student ratio in the industry: 3 to 1 for training and learning.
  • Low cost virtual training supported by face to face retreat to integrate program experience. 
  • No outside of class assignments required, all teledevelopment is self-contained and supported through attendance in the program.
  • Weekly competency reviews spread learning evenly over the program and deepen learning over time through spaced repetition and conditioning.
  • 7 professional assessments in a customizable assessment center are used to bolster your own personal development and your practice when you graduate
  • Online orientation designed to enhance your ability to navigate new economy business and prepare you for the connected world.
  • 3-day retreat to close program provides "live" video-taped coaching opportunities and feedback.

  • Opportunities to study executive coaching and practice with experienced coaches who are involved in the Fortune 100.
  • Lifetime membership to B\Coach Community with regular free training opportunities and the right to review any class at any time.
  • Develop an online marketing system and expand your marketing channels through the use of sophisticated Internet Marketing and Customer Relationship Management Systems.
  • Learn now to operate in a global virtual business environment
  • Experience the power of global collaboration with international members.
  • Master our strategy focused developmental coaching formula.
  • Experience the POWER OF INTEGRAL COACHING!
  • Enjoy commissions on coaches you refer to B\Coach with our unique affiliate program where you are paid to refer coaches to our training program once you graduate!

Here's our step by step system:

Once your payment is processed, you'll enter our program and be immediately introduced to our Executive Director who will guide you through our online orientation system. 

Our technical coach is available to help you master the telephone and internet environment of our teledevelopment system.  All you need is a relatively modern computer and a connection to the internet, we'll show you how to do the rest.  Including installing helpful coaching aids, joining our intranet community and connecting with our other community members in discussion lists.

Our system of development is based on four "legs" or integrated programs of development.  Two of these programs are required and you'll come to teleconferencing calls twice per week for 1.5 hours each. 

Most of classes are in the evening from 7 to 11 PM EST.  We do offer some optional day time calls for our European participants.  The two required programs are COACH2 and the Leadership Foundation System™.

The other two programs can be done asynchronously.  In other words, you don't have to do them in a specific time and place.  They can be done at your own speed and/or with the aid of weekly 1 hour teleconference calls that support each program.  These programs are called CoachMBA and MAP$. 

Our cMBA program helps you understand and gain exposure to leading edge business strategies and timeless business concepts and theories around strategy, finance, accounting, marketing and operations. 

The MAP$ program or Marketing 4 Attractive Professionals System is designed to help you attract clients and customers for your products and services.  If you desire to do the work, we'll guarantee that you come out of this program with a complete, automated, online, professional marketing system!  This is one of the most attractive elements of our business coach development system--the integrated approach to business coaching.

There you have it in a nutshell.  Four solid programs of development spaced evenly over a six-month period of time that ends in a face to face retreat to meet your classmates and go through our initiation of live video-taped coaching and feedback. 

Alumni state the retreat experience is one of the most profound learning opportunities of their lives, as they and their classmates coach each other, deliver real time feedback and integrate the COACH2 methodology.

Standardization in our methodology promotes your membership into an international community after you graduate.  Many of our members form partnerships to do work all over the world. 

Opportunities abound for B\Coach graduates as you become a licensee of our development systems.  COACH2, LFS and MAP$ are all available for a small license fee [$100 for each person you teach the EXACT program you were taught!] once you graduate.  That means, you leave our system with a business in the box. 

This is helpful to break into corporate markets, set up leadership and management development programs and if you're like some of our graduates, set up your own global coach training system using our business model! [Yes, we believe in abundance and if you have a desire to train coaches, we'll show you how to duplicate our system of learning easily and efficiently.]

You can spend up to 6 hours a week or as few as 3 hours of week in our training.  It's up to you, we provide you with the opportunity, we tell you what we expect and then we help you customize your experience to meet your requirements--inside of work or out! 

You can even come back to classes after you graduate or continue to take classes until you graduate.  You can take just on time training to work on areas you want to strengthen.

There are hundreds of advantages that come with your exclusive membership to our learning community!

Don't take our word for it.  
Listen to what our alumni say.

 

TESTIMONIALS

"B-Coach is a comprehensive and well thought out coach development program committed to imparting practical knowledge and skills to existing and would be business coaches while developing their abilities to effectively serve their clients.  

Mike Jay the founder of B-Coach has a thorough understanding of business coaching and a love for this exciting and rapidly growing profession. He is extremely dedicated to the success of all the participants in this course."

Ken Estridge, DBA Harvard, Executive Coach

"I chose B\Coach Systems Coach Training System because I wanted to supplement what I already knew with some of his business background and systems coaching methodologies. I had already been using cognitive therapy to help people grow and found it useful in transitioning from psychotherapy into coaching. The surprising thing was that as I began to incorporate Mike's business coaching style into my own, even my long-term psychotherapy clients began to profit. 

I found that they were making progress and insights at a quicker rate, and our sessions were more productive and focused. The B\Coach System integrates business, philosophy, psychology, coaching, economic and the latest trends in today's world as it affects all working adults. The founder is a future thinker. His B-Coach Systems is the best advanced coach training around. Not only are the courses delivered in practical ways, over a relatively short period of time, but they are accelerated and intelligent. 

They are definitely not for the slow thinker or the beginner. I have taken many other courses through other schools, and this one's the only one where I felt like I learned something new at each session. I particularly benefited from the role-play coaching sessions. The instructors are not afraid to give feedback that is useful and right on target. I highly recommend it for professionals who already know a lot about coaching: this will take you to the next level. You can't afford not to learn this B-Coach System methodology!"

Patsi Krakoff, Psy.D

B\Coach Systems can help turn around a company and person in very short period of time.  The founder's use of knowledge, techniques, wit, and sincerity are traits found only with exceptional coaches in the business arena.

Bill Harvey, MS, Ret. Col. US Army

Just wanted to let you know I have been applying what we have been discussing via phone conference calls and on-line with those on my staff and am happy to say I am seeing changes happening before my eyes. Just imagine that :) Thanks again to both of you for allowing me the opportunity to be a part of this great program.

Barbara Hayden, Executive Director

I just got offered a position as the Director of Sales Training for xxx company...starting salary $131K. I had to turn it down because they want me to relocate. They said they were very impressed with my resume and all the ongoing training that I've invested in myself. Also the fact that I've grown my career with B\Coach.

Beverly Post, VP Sales & Marketing

The CoachMBA program has provided me with additional tools to talk about and market the business services that Person Ability Inc. provides in the community. Mike Jay provides a weekly forum that addresses business strategies that enhances a coaches capability in maneuvering and understanding the current and future needs of business. He shares and highlights the readings and conference teachings of leading gurus in the business world. This encourages and creates an environment for a practicing coach to watch business trends. It allows a coach to be more effective in dealing with both small and large businesses. I have utilized these tools to move to another level in my coaching practice. Kudo's to the CoachMBAprogram.

Marcia Boehm, ACSW, BCD, CBC

The program is leadership based and an amazing amount of resources are given to you in order to make you extremely valuable to your clients. (one coaching call with Mike increased my proposal from $2500 (which my client thought was too much money) to over $11,000, which they can hardly wait to implement!!) He is very generous with his time and is one of few coaches who models the abundance principle.

Kelli McCauley, CBC

I am particularly grateful for the journey you have joined with me; I am particularly grateful for the opportunity to lay out all of the distortions and old stories I have told myself and continue to tell myself under conditions of stress or desperation. I am particularly grateful for how this journey has already connected me to strength and integrity and appreciation within myself.

Russ Volckman, Ph.D.

I have found the B-Coach Training program to be very informative and beneficial. My original goal when I joined the program was to find out about standards and best practices for business coaches. I met this goal. In fact, the B-Coach training program has exceeded my expectations. The program provided me with valuable experience working in a virtual environment with people from all over the US and Canada. I have enhanced my management and communication skills. The B-Coach model is practical and effective. The program emphasizes the use of assessments and other tools to measure bottom-line results.

The classes utilized best practices in adult learning methods by applying practical application to the subject matter. For example, in a typical B-Coach class, I would access and review the class material prior to the session. The leader would discuss the material and facilitate a dialogue on the topic. The class would break away into various virtual rooms and conduct role plays with an emphasis on the new lesson. After that, the class would meet together again and share lessons learned from their role play experiences.

I would recommend the B-Coach Training System to anyone who wants to excel in business today by enhancing their skills in working with other people.

Carla Gracen, MEd,  Business Analyst Team Leader and Business Coach

Hi Mike,

Thought you might like some feedback at this, the end of the first semester:

This week's session has really shifted things big time for me. I re-listened to the tape and gleaned a lot from it, specifically, the point about clarifying and leveraging MY style instead of trying to copy someone else. A lot of people pay lip service to this; in B\Coach we actually DO IT. As a result, I've felt empowered and have stepped up my frequency of interactions with people on many levels, engaging them, but with no intention of "making the sale". It's been wonderfully fun and rewarding and I now see the connection, the relationship between accessing what I love ... relationship building, interaction... and ultimate results that will accrue. People's response has been favorable, and I can only surmise it's because I'm in my authenticity, being myself. Most of all, that sense of failure, not being enough or not being right, is lifting and instead I'm experiencing joy, flow and forward movement.

You have been a terrific role model for me; the way you respond and continually strengthen relationships with those of us in the class - it's very clear to me that there isn't some hidden motive; rather you're clear about your intention and acting out of a principle of engagement. It's also very clear and is a distinctive feature of your coaching, that you choose to provide this "extra" level of support, because it works. And when you're unavailable, that's also clear and I can make the accommodation because I trust you and I trust the process (though I miss you!)

BCoach is exceeding my expectations on many levels, levels I didn't even know about! (under-promise and over-deliver - it's happening!)

THANKS!!!!

Joyce Baker, CBC

 

Within 30 days of signing up for B/Coach I increased my client base by twenty clients and went from $500 in income per month to $10,000. This program is rich in value with respect to content regarding coaching, leadership, marketing and creating a community of high integrity colleagues and resources.

Just a quick note to give you my feedback on BCDS.  I was quite the cynic (I have high standards) and had been researching several coaching programs before I was referred to B\Coach by a friend of mine who is brilliant (and happens to have a PHD).  She told me this was the best program she had ever been through and highly recommended it to me.  I signed up, but was still a skeptic.  Fast forward four months and here's my feedback:

 
This program has exceeded my expectations on all measures: 

1) my revenue went from $500.00 per month to $9,000.00 this month and still counting  This occurred in about four months and  is directly attributed to B\Coach

2)  I have received unbelievable coaching as part of this program that models what we learn in class 

3) The content is very rich and I have been using the content for my own teleclass to develop 16 leaders for a client (quite lucrative) 

4) We are exposed to new and cutting edge technology on a weekly basis 

5) My coaching skills/competence has increased dramatically as evidenced by the e-mails, phone calls and direct comments from my clients both in their wins and in their verbal expression of appreciation for the work we do together 

6)  I referred two people in the last class who have each sent me two e-mails thanking me for encouraging them to take the leap and join the class, plus they have both called to thank me profusely for suggested they get involved in the class. 

7) I have never seen generosity and abundance modeled so purely, as by the leader of this program Mike Jay

Kelli McCauley, MK Performance Group 

B Coach is a graduate level program that takes place over a six month period. Truly an engagement that brings forth all of one's resourcefulness accelerating the possibility of renewing ones mind.

As a result of my B-Coach experience, I feel totally prepared to engage with others in a healthy response to the new economy. In fact, I find myself well equipped to help shape it.

When I first started out I was shaping myself to conform to someone else's agenda; through B-Coach, my purpose has come alive and all the gifts that were most natural for me have come forward into my coaching practice. I am so vital now and can take action at will on purpose.

Mike Jay is one of those life experiences I would never have wanted to miss. He doesn't want to duplicate himself--you join a learning community evolving your business while taking the lead in the new economy.

Mike Jay and B-Coach provides a lens to look through into the business world. Your lead through coaching is honed and you find yourself equipped to coach others to assume their leadership role as well. Business reality simply becomes an opportunity to shape something powerful for yourself and your clients.

I am filled with gratitude and know that the energy we are tapping into is in line with what Bergson called the "elan vitale". The vital energy is alive and well.

Thanks Mike and Thank You Mel. . . .

Galen Griswold

B-coach is not only a journey of deeper learning and understanding, but a journey of self awareness, purpose, competence and well being.

Liz Peterson

Finding B\Coach was like finding an oasis in the desert for me. It provided a needed link between a place of uncertainty in my professional life and my new focus: a career coach training school modeled after the B\Coach program. Thank you Mike for your vision and support!

Marcia Bench, CMP

B-Coach has added professional clarity, confidence and a supportive, learning community. This, and new tools helped me launch a successful consultancy doing what I love.

Ellen Moran, Ph.D.

Prior to joining B\Coach, I had already completed some other recognized coaches training and had been coaching for some time. I felt I desired additional work in some of the areas B\Coach addresses, so I joined B\Coach specifically to target a corporate / business clientele, and to create a thriving practice.

What I've observed since completing B\Coach just this past week is a profound leap in both my coaching abilities and confidence. My coaching is much more efficient and I have become skilled at assisting the client to identify the lynchpin issue(s). My business is in a high growth curve, and this week alone I have experienced dramatic, break-thru sessions with clients, using the methods I've learned in B\Coach. THANK YOU!

The methodology works, and I'm amazed at B\Coach's accomplishment both in creating a system with such a high level of sophistication AND in being able to teach, model, and reinforce it for the students in such an effective and profound way. B\Coaches Rule!

Joyce Baker, CBC

Mike,

I just want to say how much B-Coach has meant to me. In all my years of education and training, I can not remember a time when I have learned as much so quickly as I have from your program. The quantity and quality of the ideas and perspectives you bring to each class session is almost overwhelming especially with your intensity and passion. But your
commitment to each person's learning and development is always evident, even as you constantly challenge us to stretch beyond our comfort zones.

The intellectual sophistication of your models and approach to coaching is itself a competitive advantage. And when combined with your focus on business reality and developing increased emotional intelligence your masterful coaching has challenged me to grow constantly. But as you continually point out, the key to coaching effectiveness is in the practice and the many opportunities to actually practice coaching have been an equally beneficial part of your program. Your most effective modeling of what you teach and the B-Coach program have constantly challenged me to learn, grow and develop intellectually, emotionally and behaviorally in these past six months in a way that has been most meaningful to me.

As Ithink about it, I count you among the most influential people in my life. Thank you most sincerely for being a most outstanding model of effectiveness as a teacher and coach.

There is a lot of confusion surrounding our field. I want to give you 6 criteria or elements you absolutely, positively must have in any coach training solution you buy:

One:  We learn to coach by doing it, not by hearing about it!

Make sure the program you select is based on experiential training, don't just sit around and listen to other people model coaching, you need to be practicing coaching just as much as you need to learn about coaching.  You should spend as much time coaching and being coached as you do learning about coaching.  Don't let other lecture-based programs lure you into a lecture-driven format.  Coaching practice with feedback is where you learn coaching!  One or two experiences with coaching won't make you a better coach.  Continuous practice and feedback will give you the confidence you need to perform at higher levels in the organization over time.  Repeated opportunities to practice is key!

Two:  Learn to build capability not co-dependency

In regards to point one, make sure you join a program where you learn more than just accountability coaching.  While this form of performance coaching is practiced widely, building capability is much more leveraging over time.  Capability comes from modeling effective double-loop or Model II learning systems as discussed by organizational learning experts for the past 30 years.  the appropriate combination of performance and development is the key to new economy success and prosperity.

Three:  Will you get regular feedback on your coaching?

Regular behavioral event feedback is extremely important to development, whether you're a coach or a person being coached.  Make sure the program you join provides you with a system of regular feedback.  Make sure the program you pay for provides you with a method of delivering feedback in a way that is conducive to leveraging development of the people you coach.  Make certain the program provides you with a coach not just for as long as you're in training but after your training is over!  It's frankly amazing so many programs are built on a lecture-based model rather than an experiential model.  Make sure the program you buy practices what it preaches.

Four:  Will you have a practice or a business system when you graduate?

Most programs focus on taking your money for coach training.  They will say that making a living with the methodology is beyond the scope of the training and we say hog wash.  If you can't make more money when you leave than when you came in, you're not being given appropriate value in training.  Ask them what kind of business system you'll have when you graduate?  In fact, do yourself another favor, ASK them what their graduation ratio is--you'll be surprised at how few people actually graduate from popular programs!

Five:  Does the program provide you with a coach during training?

We don't know another program that provides you with access to your own coach during training as a part of the program each week of the program and monthly* for six months after you graduate without paying extra for the program.  If you don't experience coaching during your training, how will you experience what your client's are going to experience when you coach them? 

*Make sure the coaching doesn't stop when you graduate.  You need help the first six-months after you complete training, make sure you have a coach there to help you without extra costs!

Six:  Utilizing referent groups increases the training value up to 500%

Make certain you go through your training with a group of people who experience what you experience each week.  Don't just meet people from time to time as you pass through a university-style system.  You need to get to know people well enough so you all experience the opportunity to work deeply with each other during your training.  Learning about each other at a deeper level will provide you with cohesive relationships that serve you for a lifetime.  The familiarity you have with this group will push you to realistic coaching--simulating effective client relationships!  Networking opportunities abound for people who build relationships and there is no better way to bond deeply than through wading through training together!

You get at least 10 times your money's worth!
