My aim for these two individuals is that you will get a clearer sense of your own worth and potential as a coach and to be comfortable coaching.
I also want you to actually be doing or on the way to achieving the things that you don’t currently feel ready to do.
I know that there are some common experiences that some coaches encounter. For several years I have seen and experienced for myself scenarios such as:
- Not feeling ready to see “proper” clients
It’s one thing working with someone in a classroom or perhaps coaching a work colleague but the prospect of coaching someone who has the label of a client can be scary – Thoughts and fears such as “What will they think of me?” and “Will they actually find out that I’m not very good?” can really trip some coaches up.
The prospect of being paid for coaching and setting a fee can be quite overwhelming
I understand that you may be familiar with questions you may have such as: Where do I begin deciding where to set a price? Could I really ask for more? Can I provide that value in what I do? How do I actually ask someone for that fee? What if they say no? and many others.
- You feel isolated working in your own coaching business.
Many coaches work in a solo business; you may love coaching and the freedom of being your own boss but find sometimes, particularly if you come from a background of working in a team, the business of coaching feels isolating.
- You find it difficult to find the motivation to do the things that you know would make a difference if you did them
Perhaps you have been thinking that you are lazy/unmotivated/ not committed but there are things that you know that if you did them it would make a positive difference for you.
You don’t have a sense of your own identity and style of coaching
You may have a sense and belief about the value of coaching in general but you’re unsure about how your own identity and style affects how you work and who you’d love to work with.
- You thought coaching was supposed to be easier than this!
Sometimes coaches and other caring professionals can get caught up in a miscomprehension that as coaches/change workers we are suppose to have all the answers and should be able to coach our own lives without any outside guidance. This pressure to appear to lead the perfect life can be something that can really keep some coaches stuck. Yet, why shouldn’t you allow yourself the gift you give your clients and future clients, seeing what you can’t and holding that space for you?
If any (or all) of the above are familiar to you then you may be exactly who I’m looking to support as a coach taking your life to the next level.
For 2 coaches (or want-to-be coaches) I have designed a flexible package to support you with the challenges that you face to increase your confidence and start doing the things you don’t currently feel ready to do.
Just some of the things I’m offering in this VIP package are:
- Assisting you to get comfortable and relax into your own style of coaching so that you can fully focus on increasing the value that you add to your clients.
- Providing you with an accountability so that it is easier to keep moving in the direction you want to be heading
- Being a friendly guide so that you don’t hide and allow yourself to be of service to your clients.
- Challenging your beliefs and stories that are holding you back
- Giving a structure to make taking action easier and less challenging
Who am I?
My name is Jen Waller and my work focuses upon two aspects:
- Communicating your worth and potential so clearly that you come to see it for yourself
And
- Assisting you to grow the future of your dreams.
I have a love of learning which has meant that it has been a joy to learn from some fantastical talented individuals in fields such as coaching and NLP – all of which I will happily use to assist you to grow the future of your dreams.
I’ve trained with a variety of sources including Michael Neill, Paul McKenna, Richard Bandler, Michael Brean, Eric Robbie with trainings covering topics such as coaching mastery, high performance coaching, corporate and executive coaching diploma’s, confidence coaching …
Some of the more recent qualifications that I hold include Licensed Advanced NLP Therapeutic Specialist and certified NLP trainer.
Prior to setting up my own coaching practice I worked as a trainer within the corporate world, being an integral part of a team who were finalists in a European training award.
What others have said about me:
“Jen is the kind of coach that other coaches aspire to be. She’s fantastic. Grab any opportunity to spend time with her.”
(Chris Morris, world class training provider and host of nlpconnections)
“Jen’s trained with the best of the best, undergone extensive coaching herself with many coaches, and as such has distilled and evolved her own skill set like few people can or ever do. I know Jen personally and can highly recommend her.”
(Jonathan Altfeld, Director of training, Mastery Insight Institute.)
“Working with Jen as been a fantastic experience. In just a few short sessions I have learned things about myself I never had realised before. Jen has helped me to identify what I really want and I have now defined some clear goals. I have set some objectives along the way to achieving my goals and I’m already beginning to see results!
Jen is pleasant and easy to work with. She is very skilled in her approach. I highly recommend Jen’s services.”
(Mike Gee)
“Although I was initially nervous about what to expect, Jen put me at ease and made it fun. After each session I felt so much better and ready to take on the world, with a toolkit of exercises to use as and when I needed.
I would recommend Jen as she is professional, very approachable and she gets results.”
(Sophie Wise)
“From the very first phone call I was amazed at how much Jen was able to draw out of me and just how motivated I began to feel. I feel positive about my future and know I CAN do what I’m planning without fear! I would recommend Jen without hesitation!”
(Deborah Roberts)
If you have read this far by now you are probably interested in the structure of this offer.
The coaches VIP experience is designed to be flexible enough to support you and includes:
Your Welcome Pack – This contains all the information you’ll need to begin our journey together. It’s specially designed for you so that we can start to clarify what you’d love to achieve from our work together – even if it seems that you’re not ready for it or that it’s totally impossible!
Our 1st session – This call of up to 2 hours builds upon your answers from the welcome pack. It’s an ideal time for us to determine:
- Where you currently are, both with your coaching and in your life in general,
- Your dream future
And
- Any obstacles that are currently in your way.
4 x 1 hour phone coaching sessions per month: You get to pick what we actually use this time for but you may choose to:
- Develop and design the content of your own welcome pack
- Generate and nurture new ideas and potential solutions
- Step back and see new options and choices
- Decide upon the next steps and action that can be taken
- Get a gentle push (or huge shove) when needed and become accountable for your actions
- Get more focused
- Find the ways that work for you to deal with any obstacles
- Make things less scary
Action assignments This is not a program that is just about what happens during our scheduled time together. At the end of our phone coaching session we will jointly design an assignment(s) that you are willing to play with to continue moving you forward.
1 x 2 hour face-to-face session per month (Either in London or South Cheshire, UK) If its more appropriate you can always choose to use the entire quarterly face to face time in one 6 hour session.
You decide how we use this face-to-face time – we can use it to do your own personal work or maybe you want to use it to get direct feedback on your own coaching or other skills based work.
4 Action days per month Particularly if you have come from a background of being “employed” one of the things that solo coaches can struggle with is finding the motivation and momentum to get started or carry out a project. Action days are a fun way to provide accountability and support to physical get “stuff” done.
Unlimited email support This experience is about much more than just the time we spend together either on the phone or in person. My aim is to get results that work in your life so you are welcome to contact me in-between our scheduled times to ask questions or share any news or wins.
Self-belief CD I know that one of the things that can get in the way of coaches taking action and being successful is their self-belief. So I am including my Self Belief Coach CD containing various tips and techniques as a bonus with this package.
3 month Momentum Diary This diary provides you with a written record of how you are progressing with a specific project as well as containing a daily quote to provoke, inspire or get you thinking.
I know that you may have some concerns, fears and questions about potentially working together so let me go through some one by one now:
Shouldn’t I be able to do this by myself, what does it mean about me to work with a coach?
This seems to be a fairly common underlying belief in certain groups that as a coach, or change professional, you should have all the answers yourself. It’s also one that I don’t subscribe to 🙂
Firstly, if you want to become/ are a coach yourself having your own coach, for me, demonstrates how much you value the process. It also gives you a greater understanding of what your own clients will be experiencing, so in my book demonstrates the commitment that you have to their future growth.
Coaching is not necessarily giving someone the answers, it’s about having meaningful conversations so that the answers are easier to find. With everybody I work with there will be things and parts of your life that weren’t working as well and other things that were. From my point of view working with a coach means that you are willing to invest in yourself and the future of your dreams, it’s not about you being “broken” in some way.
What will my friends and family think?
It’s worth mentioning at this stage that who I work with, as well as the content of our work, is confidential so I won’t be telling them anything. However, it is not at all unusual for others to see positive changes both in the person I’m working with and their life in general.
I may not know your friends and family but I am going to presume that what they want for you is to happy and living the life of your dreams, which is what my work is all about. To demonstrate my confidence in my own work I offer a 30 day unconditional happiness guarantee, if after 30 days you are not happy with our work and you can not see the long term benefits for you then not only do you not have to carry on but I’ll also give you your money back.
Am I too messed up for this to work?
I’ve had clients who, when we started working together, were convinced that they were so unworthy that they had no potential – it was a mystery to them why I agreed to work with them in the first place. If this applies to you, while you may want to keep that belief for a bit, I will warn you now that no matter how hard you try, do not expect me to be convinced by your arguments!
The way that I work is to find the way that works for each individual client, it’s about finding the questions, techniques and approaches that make the difference for you – it’s not about getting you to fit to a one-size-fits all technique.
Occasionally someone may approach me to move forward with their life which I feel will be better suited using a different approach or by a colleague who specialises in a particular subject matter. This is why I insist on chatting to anyone interested in working together so I can make sure that what you want is a match for what I do – if not it does not mean that you are messed up or unhelp-able just that somebody else is a better fit for you. I will happily refer you on if that is the case.
What if I spend all this money and get nowhere?
Part of the focus of my work is about assisting people to grow into the life of their dreams and you’ll find that I will invite you to take action to move you towards this at the pace and speed that is right for you. I do understand that, particularly if this is the first time you have considered working with a coach, or if you are not that familiar with my work, that this may be a very real concern for you.
I have carefully put together packages that are designed to move coaches forward and this does involve a commitment from you not only financially but also with your own time. To demonstrate my confidence in my own work I offer a 30 day unconditional happiness guarantee, if after 30 days you are not happy with our work and you can not see the long term benefits for you then not only do you not have to carry on but I’ll also give you your money back.
Will I end up telling you my deepest, darkest secrets?
You are the one who controls the direction of what we cover in our work together and it is possible that you may choose to share concerns that you feel are getting in your way you’ve not shared with others – however, it’s not compulsory and in that scenario you get to choose if you want to do that. Again, I will echo that our sessions are confidential. I’ll also mention in passing that what most people think of as deep dark secrets can turn out to be quite tiny when they shine a light onto them.
I will add that our work together is about focusing upon your present and your future that you dream about – it’s not about reliving past events.
Will you make me do stuff that I don’t want to do?
No. My work is about focusing upon the life of your dreams and while you may want to choose a difficult and unpleasant route to that life I suggest that we find the easier and fun route for you. 😉
You’re in control of what you want to get from our work together and with that in mind, from time to time I may invite and encourage you to take a step into something you may not feel quite ready for but ultimately it’s your choice if you are willing to take that step – I won’t make you do anything.
How long will we have to work together?
I don’t know how fast results will happen for you. Everyone I work with is different; they start from different places and define what they want differently which means that the route between each point is a unique one for you.
By it’s very nature, this VIP experience encourages you to reflect how far you have come and focus upon where you are going. If at any time either of us feels that we have gone as far as our work together will take us we can end our work together at the end of that quarter to allow us to wrap up what we were working on naturally.
I do ask for a minimum of an initial 3-month commitment to allow us to really get results.
Do you work with someone like me?
If you’re interested from what you’ve read so far, why don’t you email me and set up a time to chat so that we can find out? It will help if you have an idea what you want to achieve from working with me. 🙂
I do only have 2 spaces available with this package and my current thinking is that I’d love to share this with:
- Someone who is passionate about coaching and the idea of coaching but who doesn’t feel quite ready to go the next step for them
- Someone who is generally positive and forward thinking
- You may already have chosen to go into business on your own or it is something that you plan to do eventually
- Somebody who is prepared to make the investment both financially but also with time to find the ways that work for them
- Coaches who are prepared to play with new ideas and perspectives
I’m interested but it’s just a bit scary
It’s not at all uncommon for you to feel excited, or nervous, or scared, or mix of all of those and more besides when you are about to work with a new coach. I understand, and if it helps I have been there myself. While it’s not compulsory for you to feel any of that, it’s also something that we can deal with. Give me the opportunity to deal with that for you and set up a time for us to chat further.
I’d like to know more but don’t want a hard sales conversation
That’s good because I hate hard sales conversations! Before agreeing to work with anyone I insist that we chat first to make sure that what you are looking for fits with what I do, as well as giving you chance to answer any questions you may have. If, for whatever reason at the end of the chat either of us doesn’t want to move forward I’ll happily point you in the direction of other resources.
How much?
This isn’t one of those offers that keeps your investment a secret until you’ve made contact, I believe in being transparent with my pricing from the start.
The monthly investment is £497 with a minimum 3 month commitment.
What do I do next?
Email me to set up a time for us to chat further. Remember I do currently only have 2 spaces for this experience so emailing me sooner will increase your chances of having this support.
