Thomas Leonard and Dave Buck
Co-presenters, Las Vegas, 2002

Thursday

Dear Registrant in a forthcoming CoachVille event,

I've been remembering some of the conversations I had with Thomas the last few weeks.  One of the things he marveled about was the delicious paradox of an internet-based company like CoachVille becoming so active in producing live events.  He always did love a paradox and had intended to go on another grand tour this fall, and meet many more of you.

Remembering this, we will be proceeding as scheduled with our live event plans this year.  In fact, as part of our commitment to Thomas' vision for CoachVille, which was always bigger than himself, we look forward to sharing with you the additional material from many projects Thomas left in our hands, in new programs and events this fall. 

Of course, the events that were to be led by Thomas now will not.  Instead, the material that will impact your practices, whether it be the 15 Proficiencies or other, will be delivered from the heart by presenters Dave Buck, Richard Reardon, Susan Austin and others.

Time for us to be together to celebrate Thomas' life and affirm his vision for Coaching will be woven into the agenda for each event. We will keep you posted by email so you can be sure to adjust your schedules.

I hope this alleviates any questions or concerns you may have about your registrations in these events, and I look forward to meeting many of you.  Should you have any further questions, simply email tina@coachville.com

My best to you,

Andrea Lee

Easily accessible and clear! Thanks for making the proficiencies, clarifiers, deliverables, style points and frameworks so easily accessible and clear! This information has radically changed how I work with clients. The Intensive weekend was the perfect format to learn, collaborate and integrate these aspects of coaching into my life.  In addition to the information and experiential learning process, I am especially grateful for the opportunity to connect with so many other coaches and learn from them - that was worth the price of tuition alone!  Coop Cooper Michael O. "Coop" Cooper http://www.betterme.org/ coop@betterme.org

My first live CoachVille event... "This was my first "live" Coachville event and it was a wonderful experience. I was apprehensive about taking this course since I am a graduate of another major coaching program, but found the Coachville intensive to be complementary to my earlier education and helped me refine my "thinking and clarify approaches in methodology of coaching". As with any event of this type I am strong advocate of the networking and meeting fellow coaches as you can learn a great deal from working with your peers and this course did not disappoint. I met many magnificent and gifted coaches and felt very much part of the CoachVille family. We are indeed a group of dedicated, talented, hardworking coaches all striving to serve our clients and in so doing...serving the future of the profession. "I strongly recommend this course for those seeking credentialing as it is well worth the price of admission and as someone who is leading a study group in my area I will be encouraging all CoachVille members in my area to make the effort to attend for interaction with your peers is a beautiful thing."  Bob Stack bobstack@att.net Palm Beach Gardens, FL

Much more confidence.... "I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to attend the Coachville conference in Phoenix! Just three months ago, I began my journey in formal coach training but have suffered somewhat from lack of direction and overwhelm. Thomas' frameworks, the five 15's, have given me so much confidence to move forward in my business. It's incredible. Thank you, CoachVille!" TheWORDCoaching@aol.com

Added depth was an exciting challenge... "It was an exciting challenge to look at my coaching through the Coachville System. Each piece; the Clarifiers, Proficiencies, Deliverables, Style Points and Frameworks add a depth and structure to the work we do. My analogy is taking a walk through the woods while having the leisure to look at every small and interesting thing along the path. On occasion I could stop and smell the flowers (participate in the triads and demos). And the opportunity to meet people from diverse backgrounds and with rich and interesting lives allowed me to develop referrals, gain interesting ideas and meet new friends. "I want to acknowledge Thomas as one of this century’s greatest synthesizers of information. I see him as a visionary with an incredible capacity to make fine distinctions. His work allows us to work ever more effectively with our clients while developing ourselves as people. I look forward to joining Thomas and Dave in other cities." Alicia Smith http://www.discninja.com/

Integrating all that you already know... "Thomas Wolfe was wrong! You can go home again. I have found mine at CoachVille and in the concepts and ideas taught during this last week-end in Phoenix. Everything I've learned through 30 years of training, consulting, developing businesses, inspiring and guiding people to reach new heights- all of me has found a final home! During my entire life, I have had to segment my skills, knowledge and training into separate categories and limit their use. I knew coaching was a way to integrate them all but it took this week-end for me to feel totally at home with the concept and the framework. I now see the big picture! I know how to implement concepts and strategies. I know how to bring value to clients. And wow - is that awesome! I can't wait for the next session." Saralyn Collins The Training Bridge http://www.thetrainingbridge.com/  consultantsc@cfl.rr.com

It works in the real world... "The Coaching Intensive experience and materials are by far the most stimulating, valuable, and applicable learning in my coaching development thus far. Just back from Phoenix, in my first client call this morning, my mind surfaced the Clarifier, "Accurate vs. Interpretation" in response to her comment about ' I just know that he wouldn't call me back." By asking whether she truly knew of perceived/interpreted that he wouldn't call her back, she leapt to the realization that she's been limiting her own marketing efforts based on inaccurate self-limiting beliefs/interpretations. I was excited about this because I wasn't looking at the list; I was just doing what you suggested, having a stimulating conversation with the client, and the stuff from the Intensive came flashing through my mind. Bravo, Thomas! Great stuff that I'm excited about using more, and regularly. THANK YOU." The Wonder Coach Susan E. Race, PCC http://www.personalgrowthsystems.com/  coach@personalgrowthsystems.com +1-610-695-0464

Significantly reduce the learning curve... "I believe the 2 day intensive is a must for any serious-minded coach (or want-a-be) who wants to significantly reduce the learning curve to becoming a masterful coach...certified or not. The "live" presentation of the material, the examples, role plays, and triad discussions add a dimension that is not available in any other format. For those seeking to become mentor coaches the two-day experience provides insights that will increase their ability to guide their mentee client toward certification and higher levels of proficiency." Enthusiastically, Bob Moore, CMC, MCC The Effectiveness Coach™ http://www.theeffectivenesscoach.com/     bob@effectiveness.com +1-813-286-7320

Intensive, and delightful... "What a fun experience the Phoenix Certified Coach Intensive was! Yes it was an intensive - yet delightful to have 'The 15s" presented with lightness and humor. If you want a jumpstart on coaching, this is your ticket.  I can hardly wait for Toronto!" Judy Irving, CMC, PCC judy@MovingOn.net

The magic of being in person... I loved being able to do the Coachville Certification Intensive training in person in Phoenix and have more "face time" with Thomas, Dave and such wonderful fellow coaches. Not only was this an exciting and fun environment to be in for several days, but Thomas and Dave made absorbing and applying this transformational material both fun and easy. I find it easier to absorb these tools in person than via web &/or teleclass, and enjoy having all 3 options to go through and practice them. In Phoenix, the demonstrations and discussions of Stylepoints, Proficiencies, Frameworks, et al, brought them instantly to life and made them far easier for me to apply in real coaching situations, starting with the brief but effective practice triads. I'm excited about attending more of the Intensive weekends to hone my new "tools" and also to connect with more coaches from around the world as the Coachville community is far more than just a website for me! Barbara Schiffman EvoLuminus Coaching Evoluminus@aol.com  Burbank CA

The live training validates the website content... This was my first exposure to CoachVille beyond the website. I have to admit, attending was a way for me to "check-out" CoachVille and to see what other kinds of people are involved in coaching. Thomas (and Dave) did an excellent job of presenting the material and for me, adding validity to what is on the CoachVille website. I thoroughly enjoyed the program and a highlight of the Intensive was meeting the other participants. I currently work in a corporate position where one of my hats is coaching our managers. My biggest challenge after this weekend is assimilating what I learned and transferring the 5-15's into workable terminology for our culture and workplace. After 20 years of personal development work, spiritual growth, graduate school (Pepperdine MSOD), owning 2 completely different businesses, and being a trainer and consultant, it was fun to learn some different ways of looking at things, new terminology, and to see and hear what other coaches are doing. Bob McAllaster bobm@servco.com

The most productive learning experience I've ever had. Without question, the Phoenix intensive was, and still is, the most exciting, fun, valuable and productive learning experience I've ever had. It is, in all reality, a gift I gave myself that keeps on giving. Course content and delivery were superb. The instructors, Thomas Leonard and Dave Buck, taught in the best manner possible- by example. They repeatedly demonstrated the 15's in action and produced excellent results using them. Lecture was kept at an essential minimum allowing plenty of time for us to have immediate practice. For me, this resulted in much greater retention of the material presented and a deeper understanding of how to effectively apply the information in my coaching practice. I am a better coach and a better person for having attended the intensive. The skill sets we learned are applicable to all life arenas, not just coaching. Our clients will obviously benefit, but so will our families, friends, acquaintances, and the people with whom we come into contact in daily life. These are life skills, not just coaching skills. This wasn't only a class, it was a deliberately created environment that pulled us forward rather than us struggling to grasp the material. So, we also got a demonstration of how effective creating environments is. The environment produced unexpected results such as getting other coaches as clients right there at the intensive. Networking opportunities abounded and new friends were made. Another unexpected result was on my first coaching call after I got back. In no way did I intend to practice on my client until I had absorbed the material more fully. What happened was that I found myself naturally applying the material without effort- my client noticed the difference and was delighted more than ever with our coaching relationship. A new client signed on the day after I got back and her goal is to become an advanced communicator and learn advanced relating skills- precisely what I had just been immersed in. Now that's in line with Thomas' 28 Principles of Attraction. Bottom line is that this stuff works and works very well. Coachville says it adds value for the joy of it and that's true too. I am taking advantage of the opportunity to attend another intensive in Chicago, free of charge, to further sharpen my skills and that's a real value. I hope to see you there!
