SUPERCOACH ACADEMY 2011 IS COMING TO LOS ANGELES!

For nearly 20 years I’ve been coaching, teaching, and writing about what it takes to live happily and create success in a world that doesn’t always do what we tell it to and doesn’t always deliver exactly what you want. Over the past few years, I’ve been sharing some of the insights I’ve had, skills I’ve developed and models I’ve created with other coaches through my books, CD’s, trainings and apprenticeship program.

Now it’s your turn…

Beginning in January, 2011, I will be guiding 50 people through a gentle yet rigorous training program designed to unleash the most powerful, impactful difference maker that is there inside you. Whether you are already a coach looking to take your practice to the next level or if coaching is something you’ve always thought would be wonderful to do and you want to learn to do it to a phenomenally high standard, this program will take you from wherever you are to a place where you can consistently transform the lives of your clients.

Along the way, you will find your own life transformed as you literally see the world and other people in a whole new way.

The program will be delivered through a combination of monthly live events, weekly teleclasses, online forums and virtual masterclasses and will be a comprehensive education in some of the most powerful technologies for change ever created.

Along with a faculty that I’m thrilled to say includes many of my own mentors as well as a few of my top students, I’ll be leading the 50 “chosen ones” through the adventure of a lifetime!

Here’s how it all works:

1. I will be your guide through six live weekends in Los Angeles, alongside some of the finest transformative coaches on the planet including Steve Chandler, Bill Cumming, Mandy Evans, Gay Hendricks, Kathlyn Hendricks, George Pransky, and one or two surprise guests along the way! Each weekend will be highly interactive with discussions, live demonstrations, and an opportunity for you to connect in a direct and personal way with each of the teachers. Based on the experience of last year, we’re extending the a first and last weekends to be three days for more intensive learning and integration.

The dates for 2011 are as follows:

• The Fundamentals of Transformative Coaching with Bill Cumming
  January 15 – 17

• Creating the Climate for Change with George Pransky
  February 19 – 20

• The Happiness Option with Mandy Evans
  March 19 – 20

• The Genius Catalyst Weekend with Gay and Kathlyn Hendricks
  April 16 – 17

• Creating a Fearless Coaching Practice with Steve Chandler
  May 14 – 15

• Integration, Evaluation, and Commencement
  June 11 – 13

2. Between each of the live sessions, your learning will come to life through weekly teleclasses led by specially trained members of the Genius Catalyst team. These classes will be a chance for you to ask questions, practice what you’ve learned, share stories and gain new insights into what it takes to transform a life. Each “coaching pod” will consist of 12 – 15 students and the coaching pods will meet on different times and dates to better accommodate schedules throughout the US, UK and Europe.

3. Throughout the course, you’ll be given the opportunity to participate in virtual masterclasses with some of the top coaches in the world. We’ve already got classes booked in for you with Jennifer Louden and Paul McKenna PhD – and there are plenty more to come! All masterclasses will be recorded so that even if you can’t attend live, you’ll still be able to benefit and revisit them again and again.

4. A special members-only forum will give you the opportunity to stay connected with your fellow supercoach trainees on a daily basis. Many participants on past trainings have said that the people they’ve met through the trainings and the friendships and alliances they’ve formed have been one of the most valuable of the “unexpected perks” of participation.

At the conclusion of the program, you will be eligible for certification as a Certified Transformative Coach, and your certificate will be personally signed by me. In addition, we have applied to the ICF so that your training hours will be able to be used as CCEU’s.

Here are the certification requirements:

• Attendance of at least four of the six live events (including the first and last)
• Attendance of at least 75% of teleclasses live and the remaining 25% via the recordings
• Demonstration of skills during live events
• Positive Peer feedback
• Log a minimum of 50 client sessions (minimum 25 hours) from the beginning of the course
• Completion of a mentoring session with a faculty member, including a review of a 30 minute coaching session of your choosing (included in the cost of the program)

The requirement that I feel is most important is that you log a minimum of 50 client sessions before your certification is complete. You do not have to do this by the end of the program, but we strongly recommend that you do. Until you actually experience the process of getting and coaching “real live clients” the material in this course will remain theoretical and you will not know how difficult or easy it will be to apply things when they matter most.

We actually want you to get through as much of the learning curve that all coaches face when they are doing something new while you are still on the course, so we can offer you the kind of support that matters most at the time when it will be of most use to you!

To sign up now and guarantee your place, click here.

The cost of the program is $12,000 (US), but if you pay in full before the 1st of November, you will save 10%. Please click here to learn about various payment options.

If you would like to speak with someone about whether you will be suitable to participate as one of the 50 participants or to ask any specific questions, please contact us for more information.

Have fun, learn heaps, and I look forward to seeing you for the training of your life beginning in January, 2011!

with love,
michael

Some words from the Class of 2010

This was, is and continues to be the most amazing journey of learning and path to enlightenment, both as a person and as a coach. My time at Supercoach academy has been full of loving kindness, personal and spiritual growth, and the meeting of minds, hearts and souls with some awesome fellow coach travellers. I stand in awe at our journey thus far and know it is only the beginning. I am filled with happiness and inspiration at being the best Coach I know how to be. – Fiona Jacob, Saudi Arabia

Super Coach Academy really has transformed me – and my life. Did Michael have any idea of what he was creating?? The sheer alchemy of hanging around with the world’s foremost coaches and trainers over a 6 month period, cannot help but rub off. I’m a different person now – and have the T shirt to prove it :-) – Sue Trinder, London

I loved the connections with people, the fun of the weekends, the variety of knowledge and perspectives that was shared, and that I have enough areas that I would like to explore to last the rest of my life quite likely! I loved the exposure to so many wonderful people that share the same passions and interest in coaching and making a positive difference in the world.  I loved the absence of “hype” and “sales gimicks”. – Alara Laden, Canada

Where to begin?  I just know that on the 4 occasions I made the trek (24 hours from Australia to NYC) by the time I was at morning tea break, having listened to Michael share for the first part of the day, I knew the trip was worth it all, even if just for that one hour of learning from him!  I let it wash over me, soaked it in, remember some of it, and experienced his genuine commitment to expand his learning and yet still recognise his humanity in the process.  He is the rarest combination of smart thinking, sensitivity to people, and sharing of stuff that makes sense to my soul.   I and DEEPLY grateful to have had the opportunity to learn (and continue to learn) from him and the gang he hangs out with! – Jenny Ashton, Australia

The SCA is a really well structured, clearly thought out programme that allows coaches of differing experience to access material, practice new skills and revive forgotten skills and knowledge in a very safe, enabling environment. The structure of direct input,discussion, reflective learning and coaching practice together with the opportunities to debate ideas with coaching colleagues makes for a genius programme! – Marie Taylor, Marie Taylor Consulting, London

The wide variety of instructors and the depth of knowledge each brought,  made this an invaluable course….mastery comes from learning from many. LOVED the course, just LOVED it!!!! – Jim Pehkonen, Amazing Life Design, United States

For me, one of the best ways to learn is to watch somebody being coached. I couldn’t get enough of that and everything I learned I ended up using on my own practice.  I also loved to have homework – I love challenges and the weekly calls kept me on track. – Alexandra Barreto, Portugal

It was a brilliant idea by Michael Neill and executed so well by him and all his support team. It was a lot of money and effort but well worth every penny. This level of coaching tuition is not available anywhere else. It has moved me forward at least seven years, and the benefits, knowledge and friendships are on going. Thanks to everyone. - Nigel Palmer, Chilbolton, UK
