Kind words 
...about our recent Conference in Las Vegas (March 2002)

All I can say is WOW!!! The conference content was practical, relevant and motivational. 

Thank you for the opportunity to meet with so many incredible people at the 2002 Coachville Conference in Las Vegas. I am a new coach in private practice, and I learned a lot, met a lot of exceptional people, and came home with a lot of valuable ideas to attract clients, add value, and market my coaching skills more effectively. I was gratified to be able to add value to some of the discussions and coaching exercises, and have found new motivation to make my coaching skills better, and my coaching practice more professional and focused. I look forward to taking better advantage of all the content available on the Coachville website, and to developing long-term relationships with many of the coaches I met.


dear thomas,
you are wonderful -- a great formulator, communicator and teacher. as someone
who has been in the academic field (and has thus attended many conf and
seminars over these years) you are certainly in the top ten. more later.


Hi Thomas: Thanks for a very motivating conference. You went all out. 

I am looking forward to the next conference. I got a 
lot of value out of this conference.


Thank you for a very powerful - business shifting conference - I've already implemented 12 of about 100 actions I committed to there... 


Dear Thomas,
Thank you so much for the conference. It exceeded my expectations for content and inspiration. I also met some really nice people! As a result of  the conference I've signed up for the graduate school. Thanks again.

Are you a coach who...
Has heard about the 15 Coaching Proficiencies from CoachVille and is eager to learn them in an immersion weekend?

Has been looking for a universal coaching model that can be adapted to a wide variety of client types and situations?

Is considering the Certified Coach designation track and wishes to prepare yourself for the Certified Coach exam?

Is currently coaching and interested in expanding the number of ways you coach, and the types of models you use?

Is working with clients who you sense are wanting more from you as you coach them?

Is new to the coaching game and wants to quickly understand how to coach well instead of waiting years to learn by trial and error?

Is working internally or externally for a company and is seeking an open-architecture approach to coach leaders in the company?

If any of the above are true for you, then the CoachVille Intensive is for you.  Offered in just 7 cities worldwide this year, and led by the coach's coach Thomas J. Leonard, founder of CoachVille and the Graduate School of Coaching, this 2-day training is the type of immersion, highly experiential and fast-paced training that you've been looking for.  And it leads to the Certified Coach designation offered by the ICA (International Coaching Association), should that be a part of your professional plans.

What You Will Be Learning
The 5-Element CoachVille Coaching System





Key Points

About the CoachVille Coaching System
Is there an open-architecture coaching system available that is effective with a wide range of clients, and usable by coaches at all skill levels?  Yes!  In this intensive, you will learn -- and become effective with -- the newly released CoachVille Coaching System.  The highly flexible system includes the 5 elements illustrated above, and described below.

The 15 Coaching Proficiencies
The Coaching Proficiencies are the engine of the coaching process; this is what the coach spends 90% of his/her time doing during a typical coaching call.   The list of the proficiencies is here.

The 15 Listening Clarifiers
In order to know which of the proficiencies to use at any given time, the coach needs to know, and sort through, what they are hearing.  Thus the 15 Clarifiers which help the coach know the nature of what they are hearing and guides them to select the most important element of what they are hearing.  Once this is clear (it can take just a millisecond), the coach will naturally choose the most fitting proficiency.  The list of the clarifiers is here.

The 15 Deliverables
Deliverables are what the coach delivers.  Which is distinct from the outcomes that the client may have or cause as a result of the coach's deliverables.  (Deliverables vs outcomes is a key distinction in coaching.).   The list of the deliverables is here.

The 15 Life Frameworks
Frameworks are places that the coach (and client) come from in their thinking, perception, behavior and attitudes.  Frameworks expand thinking, which can result in clients moving forward more quickly and with less effort.  Think of a space ship being launched. It needs the thrust of booster rockets to break the inertia/gravity/weight to get the rocket beyond the pull/heaviness of Earth's atmosphere so that it can play effortlessly in space, where there is no resistance.  Something similar happens to the client when their frameworks are expanded.  Blocks to success are reduced and progress accelerates. The list of the frameworks is here.

The 15 Communication StylePoints
How you come across and interact/relate with your client can accelerate or slow down the coaching process. We've identified 15 aspects of communication that we call the StylePoints.  Each of these 15 StylePoints can help you become more effective coach by tweaking your coaching communication style.  The list of the StylePoints is here.

Then here's how you will benefit by attending the 2-day Certified Coach Intensive

As a participant, you will learn how to...
	Learn and discover how strong you are in the 15 Coaching Proficiencies
	Expand your thinking and approach via the 15 Life Frameworks
	Polish how you relate with your clients via the 15 Communication Style Points
	Quickly identify exactly what the client is saying via the 15 Client Clarifiers
	Immediately add value to your clients by offering the 15 Coaching Deliverables
	Gain confidence as a coach by building on what you already know.
	Get your arms around the entire coaching process; no more surprises.
	Learn how to articulate what you can offer your clients.
	Learn about the future of coaching; what clients will be wanting and needing from coaches over the next 5 to 10 years.
	And, from 4 to 5pm on Saturday, we'll be offering a special one-hour program called the Strategies for the Six-Figure Coaching Practice which will include everything from selecting a niche, to positioning your brand, to using emarketing to developing passive revenue sources.  This segment is free for all registrants in the Intensive.
	Meet and network with other coaches from you area and from around the world who share common interests with you.

How is the Intensive designed?

The intensive has been designed as a powerful learning experience...
	Multimedia presentations to quickly and graphically convey the key points, principles and theory.

	"From the podium" discussions between Thomas Leonard and you so that you can benefit from the wisdom of other coaches in the room. (We use floating wireless microphones.)
	Highly interactive diads and triads so that you can practice and perfect what you are learning using scorecards and guides.
	Case study examples and 'team solution' methods to prepare you for the types of client situations that you will be encountering in the real world.
	Networking opportunities before and after each day's sessions.
