| Investment in the Coaching Relationship

Investment
Noun - an act of devoting time, effort, or energy to a particular undertaking with the expectation of a worthwhile result
New Oxford American Dictionary
The coaching relationship requires investment from all participants. Time, energy and money or it's equivalent are invested by all involved in this endeavor. It is worth it for all or us because the Return On Investment can be great!
Is this a good time to invest in your self? With today's economic climate, this question is much more than a rhetorical question. With some hope and a positive desire, the RIGHT NOW can present you with a wonderful opportunity for: RE-Visioning, RE-Evaluating, RE-Tooling, RE-Training, RE-Connecting, RE-Grouping, RE-Planning... a long list of RE-s.
Your future hopes and dreams can be turned into your realistic and achievable plan of action in the next few months. Coaching can be a cost effective part of finding satisfaction, abundance, life energy and joy in your future work world.
While many will be trapped by the perceived negative visions of the need to change (yes, change once again) you can take the opportunity to leap into your bright future. I am excited to work with folks who refuse to get stuck at this point in their work life. It is a great time to invest in your self.
My general investment fees are reflected in each coaching service description. I believe anyone who wants to enter a coaching relationship with me can do so. Investment opportunities are very negotiable in many ways. If you want coaching relationship with me, we can discus ways to find with a workable solution.
Creative Investment Fee Solutions Are Available:
Barter
In a world of tightening financial realities, some people and organizations have little available money for coaching and related activities. However they often have great abundance in knowledge and creativity and skills and spirit... a different type of valuable currency.
They express it in teaching, creating art, beautiful garments, yummy food events, alternative health solutions, unique skill set consultation, office or educational space to share, spectacular home improvements, travel opportunities and, well, all the many ways we work and play and create a good abundance around us. Let us talk about bartering!
These individuals and organizations are rich in non-monetary abundance that can be bartered with another if both parties are adventuresome and willing. I am. Are you?
Donation
I am very interested in donating a percent of my investment fee to client organizations that are tax certified not-for-profit organizations. Bartering additional percentages is also a possibility. Creativity and motivation are the keys here. If you want coaching, we can work on a mutually satisfying solution!
Discount
I am very interested in donating a percent of my investment fee to client organizations that are tax certified not-for-profit organizations. Bartering additional percentages is also a possibility as a NFP add on or standalone feature of fee investing for coaching services. Creativity and motivation is the key here.
Deferment
Some personal and organizational development is so front end loaded with expenditures and cash flow issues that situations are created where deferments of payment can be justified.
Corporate Education and Training Budget Possibilities
Coaching is an efficient and effective 'action plan' oriented alternative to traditional Professional Education and Training. If you have Corporate E&T funds budgeted for you, consider coaching as an alternative which: addresses your specific needs and desires; occurring while you are at the workplace; and, occurs over an adequate period of time to create measurable productive results.
Some will miss the excitement of airports, keynote chicken lunch, social "mixer" events (where did I put all those business cards I was given???), and will be greeted by a pile of missed work when upon return. Some won't! Include business coaching when you are considering where to best spend your professional development dollars for a true Return On Investment.
