PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:

Ever find yourself triggered by your clients, your family members, or events that are taking place in the world? Or maybe you say to yourself, I could never be like that. In the world of shadow work and integrative coaching, the events and people who cause you to react, highlight aspects of yourself that you have not fully integrated. 

In the six-week Meeting the Shadow (zoom, portions will be video off) class, you will learn key elements of shadow work, look at how your story and beliefs might be holding you back, and uncover and integrate the positive qualities to support you in living a more expressed version of yourself.

More specifically, the six weeks will address:

1)   To begin to understand what the Shadow is and how it can affect your life at almost every level.

2)   To break out of beliefs that have limited you and to see yourself from another, more powerful perspective.

3)   To gain the ability to identify your story and the limiting beliefs that it holds.

4)   To learn how to step outside of that story and reclaim your ability to choose who and what you can be.

5)   To discover your unique recipe and unveil the secret hidden in your personal drama

6)   To support you in living an extraordinary life and delivering your greatest contribution to the world.

SYNOPSIS:

You have a great service.  You KNOW you are a great coach.  ANd yet you just aren't closing the sales you want (or at the price point you want.

IF:

• You have ever reached the end of a sales conversation and heard "I can't afford it!"
• You have ever lowered your prices to "fit in" to what you THINK the market will pay.
• You're tired of constantly over delivering and spending long hours working for a low price point.
• You want to raise your fee, but think "people won't pay that!"

Then join Chris for this in-depth sales mastery training.  During this training -- designed specifically for coaches -- you will learn:

• How to close the sales you want at the price point you want.
• How to position your services to create maximum impact during the sales conversation (and have your clients excited to say yes to working with you!)
• The Business Model for building a successful coaching practice (and why most people have this completely upside down)
• Chris' EXACT step-by-step Signature Sales System - used to close over 4 million dollars in coaching services.  (You will leave the training with the exact system in place, ready to use on your very next sales call.)
