Merging Renegade Professional With Coaching Cognition…

Mike Klingler PresentingHopefully you’ve had a chance to watch Tuesday’s webinar, where Ann Sieg, Barbara Silva and I discussed “The Coach’s Advantage” and showed the new Coaching Platform for the very first time.

We are excited to announce that we are integrating the Platform into your back office later this week, possibly as soon as tomorrow.

This gives you access to our database of trained coaches and is where you can search  topics to get one-on-one help with technical hurdles, business planning, marketing questions or anything you run into while growing your business.

Paying It Forward…

On Tuesday’s call Ann shared how coaching has had a life-changing impact on her success, as it has mine.
This is why we are so committed to bringing awareness to “the value of coaching.”  It’s why this has been integrated into Renegade Professional.
Interestingly,  the coach who impacted Ann most, Curt Johnson, is also  a leading facilitator on the coaching platform and is now available to you!It’s also very interesting that the coach who has had the greatest impact on me, Ellie Drake, is contributing to the training curriculum for our coaches.

Why are we putting so much effort and investment into Coaching Cognition?

Through the trained coaches within the Coaching Cognition platform we are integrating the value of coaching into the Renegade Professional mindset permanently–because we know how vital this mindset is to your success.


Whether you decide to use the platform to bring out your own coaching skills and become a coach–Or, you use it to hire a coach to work on your business with the trained one-on-one assistance, we are excited to see this project come to fruition, made possible through the hard work of many people, and the big, warm heart of our coach’s coach, Barbara Silva.

If you haven’t already, please watch the Webinar we did to hear more about the tremendous value of coaching, and to get a sneak peek at this platform today.  You’ll learn how you can become a coach if you so choose.



The chance to become a trained coach is soon coming to an end.  It will not come again until late into next year.

Note we’ll be giving you a link early next week so you can get your own ticket to the Live Event in Portland where you can meet Ann Sieg, myself, and EVERYONE on the team!

Hope to see you there!

  1. Coaching Cognition is going to change my life.

    I want to thank Mike Klingler, Barbara Silva, Curt Johnson and Ellie Drake in advance for the benefits that I will experience from this work/from the new relationships with my peers and mentors.

  2. JV at it’s best. Here Mike Klingler found Barbara Silva…or rather, Barbara found Mike.

    I remember the first fledgling forays into internet presence. Barbara was authentic, candid and compelling.

    The rest is history. Mike did his part in relationship building. He and Barbara discovered her giftedness. Barbara with encouragement and coaching followed her passion.

    Now she lives her dream. Coaching Cognition. Interesting name in that to me it implies a relationship that empowers the student/client to “see” their lives in a new way.

    Renegade Professional is Barbara’s starting place. Very fitting that the partnership grows from the roots.

    If you have any sense that your life and/or business will benefit from some new insight. Coaching Cognition is for you.

  4. I just want to say that I’ve been in different kinds of MLM training programs in the past but once I found Renegade Professional I started to learn different things that I didn’t even know were out there. This is the Best of the Best Internet Marketing training I have seen in over two years.

  5. Yes, Ren. Prof. teaches you the best and what you do need to succeed. Why spend membership fees on other programs that online give you a little bit. I like the whole enchilada, and Ren. Prof. delivers that in abundance.

If you wonder what allowed me to take very little knowledge about blogs, social media and SEO… and then build a multi-million dollar business from it, teaching things effectively after just a week or two of learning it myself… now you know.

Coaching Skills.

Mysterious, intangible and highly valuable coaching skills.

That YOU can start learning right here, right now.

No one describes this better than my friend Dr. Ellie Drake (who taught me to focus on these coaching skills, which led to my own personal business transformation).

Listen to this powerful call where I invited Ellie to share HOW important these skills are for your business–WHY they are essential–and how your world changes almost instantly once you focus on them.

Note that the first few minutes of this call was cut off so you’re jumping in while I’m in the middle of introducing how I met Ellie and what she’ll be sharing.

I highly encourage you to Click Play if you haven’t listened to this already–it’s powerful…

After reviewing this business-changing training with Ellie and I, click to learn more about developing these skills through Coaching Cognition.  Class enrollment begins soon!

  1. Listening to Dr. Ellie Drake really impressed upon me how important Coaching Cognition is for all aspects of my life.

    Getting in touch with the “heart” of the matter may be easy for some, but most of us need guidance and there is no guide I would rather be a student of than that of Dr. Ellie and Barbara Silva.

    Comment by Marie Leonard — November 9, 2009 @ 9:37 am

  2. Dear Mike and Partners:

    You keep providing SO much enormous value to your community.

    Personally, I have been a fan of Dr. Ellie Drake for some time.

    Unfortunately, I am unable to get that above VIDEO to work – but I’ll keep trying.

    Perhaps there’s a ‘glitch’ in the software?

    Warmly / Peter A.

  3. Well I have to say that listening to this has inspired me to sign up for Coaching Cognition. Ellie truly has a gift of insight and can present in a way that hits home to my inner voice.

    Thanks.

    Comment by Andrew Collinson — November 9, 2009 @ 2:47 pm

  7. Enjoyed the frank, clear description Ellie presented. Thank you Mike and Ann.

    Comment by Jim Bradley — November 9, 2009 @ 4:17 pm

  8. Ellie teaches us from her own personal experience. She has learned to listen to her inner self. Ellie takes consistent action. She admonishes her listeners to do the same.

    When she teaches about becoming a good listener, it comes from her heart. Ellie encourages each student to “lean on your own authentic self”; to sit up straight; keep muscles relaxed; to speak and write from where you are coming from.

    Oh, there is so much more in the 9 Tips in Listening that she gave in this webinar. It is certainly a gift to be able to listen to it repeatedly.

    Thank you Ellie, Thank you Mike and Didi and the Marketing Merge team.

    Comment by Pat Campbell — November 9, 2009 @ 4:30 pm

  9. It’s been a while since I heard Ellie and must admit had lost track of her.

    Thanks Mike for sharing this with everyone who was not able to listen to the conference.

    “…Entrepreneurs are good coach, and good coaches are good listeners”

    “Learning to know who you are and what you stand for”

    Most importantly, how one could develop to communicate success, help others achieve it, and establish one’s organizational culture.

    Will you be the coach that you will hire to coach ‘you’? So profound.

    Comment by George Manlangit — November 9, 2009 @ 6:08 pm

  10. WOW!!! I am so happy that this is recorded, I will definately need to listen to this more than once. What a truly wonderful speaker, someone that I will follow.

  12. I’m new to internet and social networking and FB adn twitter. I cant get the video to play. Is there soemthing wrong with my computer?

    Comment by Jenny Wong — November 9, 2009 @ 7:18 pm

  13. Prior to listening to Ellie, I wasn’t sure I had the time to join Coaching Cognition, but hearing Mike and Ellie talk I knew I had to make the time, even if it meant putting my other projects on hold.

    Comment by Rallie Rallis — November 9, 2009 @ 7:29 pm

  14. Thank you very much to Ellie for spending time with us and for Mike and Didi for arranging it and putting the recording up for all of us to listen to. For me the ‘aha’ was learning when to interrupt at the right place. I allow people to unload themselves and I have learned it is OK to interrupt and bring them back to the essence. The 9 tips are critical for everyone to be aware of and to practice.

    Comment by Helen Wenley — November 9, 2009 @ 8:32 pm

  15. Unfortunately, I missed the “live” program, but, nonetheless, I thoroughly appreciated the insightful suggestions Ellie made on the playback.

    I plan to listen to it entirely again and view the interviews for further insight.

    Thanks again, Mike, Didi & of course, Ellie Drake!

    Comment by Wayne Holloway — November 9, 2009 @ 9:09 pm

  16. Thank you Ellie and Mike for such an inspiring teaching.

    Great to learn how to become a good listener – be able to communicate with your authentic self, listen with your heart and align with your body language even though when we are on the phone, so important.

    Develop the ability to know who we are first and people will follow.

    Lots of valuable tips to help developing ourselves from within first so we can coach and lead others.

    “I am my own product, invest in myself” a gem!

    Thanks again :-)

  17. hi i liked your speaking.it was good.

    Comment by kelly d. baser — November 9, 2009 @ 10:09 pm

  18. Listening to Ellie, I was struck by the similarities between her strategies and those, which I learned to employ, whilst becoming a radio interviewer, back in the 1970’s.

    I learned from George Yeatman, a dear man, who invested time and considerable energy in teaching me the fundamentals of being a good interviewer.

    I listened to him and, with all modesty, I did become better at it. But, having been in denial, for too long, I had turned my back on interviewing people, for a living.

    Now, realising that I still have something to offer, I am, thanks to Ellie, once more determined to use my poor talents.

    Not just in the search for a pot of gold, but in the deepfelt need to become a valued part of my business community – valued, through my ability to reach out, through the medium of sound and, by doing so, to help others achieve more, from their businesses.

    Thanks, Ellie. You have inspired me.

    Comment by Graham Freer — November 10, 2009 @ 1:43 am

  20. Thank you, Mike, for sharing this aspect of your success. To be able to improve ones self both professionally and personally is something that I look forward to. I know that I will listen to Ellie several more times and have already jumped to her website. I am sure that the coaching cognition course is going to be very worthwhile and look forward to adding this to my plate as I continue to work through your other trainings. Your ability to give the entire recipe, or set of skills, to us through Renegade Breakthrough has simply been amazing. Thank you for pushing us, while holding our hands along the way!

    Comment by Phyllis Emrich — November 10, 2009 @ 10:00 am

  21. if someone want to be a good coach,
    ferst of all, he has to build and establish good communication with the people. for to divelop the skills of making good communication, first of all we have to listen and to be interesting and to be focus to the massage which is sent to us, and to listen to ourselves intuition.

    Comment by lea sedan — November 10, 2009 @ 1:44 pm

  22. In just few days I’ve been able to practice the tips that Ellie shared during the call. It’s such a wealth of information that I have to go back to my notes often. These are not just skills for Network Marketing but for life.
    Thank you everyone for such an amazing learning experience.

  23. I am so thankful that this was recorded because I was unable to attend the original podcast.

    Ellie is so very inspirational and the points made truly hit some important spots with me.

    Thank you for sharing so much value with us all.

    Comment by Angela James — November 11, 2009 @ 10:14 am

  24. WOW! That’s all I have to say for NOW. WOW!
    And thank you, of course, to Ann and Michael, for giving me this wonderful opportunity to meet such a great lady. Dr. Drake is the first person ever who could put into words what made me such a success with what many call “problem students” or children in general. Until now I had no idea of what I now understand to be “visceral listening”. Even though I don’t remember even hearing the word before, I must have just been born with it which would explain why so many students often told me that until meeting me, they had never felt “inspired” to want to learn or what made me so popular whenever I was in sales.
    Like Peter Arnold, I had a hard time to get the video to work for days but I found the trick today! It just took a little patience to allow the blue bottom line to upload all the way before I began to listen or else it kept cutting off, which I did by putting it on pause afer clicking “play”. Then it was smooth sailing. Not only did I listen to it twice but filled a whole notebook of just about every word she had to say.
    By the way, I really enjoyed Peter Arnold’s website which, out of sheer curiosity, because we had the same problem, I was glad I checked. Duty calls right now but I will go back to it soon. Hoping I will one day have the know-how to acquire one of my own (website that is), I keep on learning all that I can about it and about having an internet business I can be passionate about. With Ann Sieg’s “The Renegade Network Marketer”, which I am still reading, I will surely learn as I believe I saw something to that effect on Page 94.
    “NOW”, and at the risk of repeating myself, I will say all that I have to say about this video: “WOW”.

    Comment by Teri — November 11, 2009 @ 2:18 pm

  25. What an absolute pleasure listening to Ellie! I was hanging on every word. She is so natural and friendly. A perfect example of what she is teaching us.

    I used a couple of the tips and noticed a difference already. It’s not hard, just have to be aware of it.

    Thank you Didi and Mike for arranging this call for us. What tremendous value! And I have taken Ellie up on her free gifts. Very generous of her.

  26. Wonderful insights… especially being able to listen to oneself before being able to listen to others. The call was amazing.

    Comment by John Cldwell — November 12, 2009 @ 7:20 am

  28. Mike, Didi, and Ann, this has been a tremendous teaching for living daily in work, play,and community. Especially, because this takes one out a self-centered mode of operation to a caring tactile– caring mode. Listening is essential for listening to others, self, and inner self of both. Dr. Drake is so inspiring to be patient, attentive, and encouraging personally. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP TO GROW AND BE SUCCESSFUL. I am thankful for her free gifts.

    Comment by Jessie Dudley — November 12, 2009 @ 9:08 am

  29. It is difficult to find the words to express my gratitude for what Ellie and Mike have shared with us on this call.

    It was so good to be brought back to basics and to remember “I am my product” therefore I invest in myself in order to be that genuine giver that tends to be forgotten in the rat race of life.

    It was of those soul touching moments. Thank you so much.

    Comment by Judith Atkinson — November 12, 2009 @ 9:48 am

  30. Mike and Didi the live conference call with Ellie Drake was truly educational and inspiring.

    Thank you Ellie for exploring and explaining the listening skills from within. The 9 tips were great. I will be listening to this audio again and again.

    Thanks

  31. Ellie web-cast was truly awesome. I enjoyed every moment as I sat there and listen to speak about coaching and how it helps an individual in more ways than one. I’m grateful I had an opportunity to listen to her first hand. She’s truly insightful…

    Thank you,
    Donna Wells

    Comment by Donna Wells — November 12, 2009 @ 1:25 pm

  32. Fabulous call. I am so glad you cover listening to yourself is the path to listening at a deeper level to others. Excellent information. A breath of fresh air. The power of asking the right questions, and taking the time to respond at a deeper level.

    Comment by Faith Barnard — November 12, 2009 @ 7:46 pm

  33. Thank you, Everyone for all the amazing comments. And Welcome to all of you who joined the Coaching Cognition training course with Barbara Silva and Renegade Professional. We are still open for a short time and I hope that we will have the opportunity to welcome you as well to this empowering journey.

    Comment by didi — November 12, 2009 @ 10:34 pm

  34. @MarieLeonard – I totally agree with you that most of us definitely need guidance to getting in touch with ourselves. Those of us who don’t resist that thought will be moving faster toward it.

    @PeterArnold – Great to hear from you, Peter. We posted a quick link below the video above to QuickTime player which you might need to download to be able to play it.

    @EdHyslip – Hey Ed, Welcome to Coaching Cognition. Looking forward to collaborating and interacting with you on the calls with Barbara and on the Coaching Cognition Blog.

    @MohamedRidhaBouguerra – Thank you for the comment. Happy to hear you enjoyed the call with Ellie and that inspired you to start improving your listening skills.

    Thanks for the comments @CarnealHarris, @AndrewCollinson and @JimBradley – Good listening skills = building great relationships = building successful business = pure gold ☺

    @Patcampbell – I know you’ve been personally coached by Ellie and I am glad that you share with everyone some of the characteristics that you’ve gotten to know her to posses, that are a big part of why she is so successful. Definitely, consistency, listening to her inner self, being in touch with her heart and intuition, authenticity are just some of those characteristics.

    Partners in Progress,
    DiDi Alcheva

    Comment by didi — November 13, 2009 @ 11:36 am

  35. Adding on to the spirit of what has already been stated, I too, found the call interview both inspiring and challenging: both times.

    You say, “both times?” Yes, I just listened one ore time a few short moments ago.

    1. Page open.
    2. Keyboard ready.
    3. And taking notes while “the music was being played” again so-to-speak.

    Stopping.
    Pausing the lesson.
    Grabbing the important points.
    Trying to sense what I was to learn.

    All important ways to get to most out what was not only graciously shared for us but also provided for us to take advantage of listening to as much as desired.

    In addition, several of my “take-aways” from Mike at the conclusion were thoughts such as the following:

    Merely begin your next step.
    Merely start focusing on it.
    Begin “facing towards it.”

    Me? I like the “begin facing towards it.” For some reason, I liked that phrase. Possibly because I like the concept of “leaning into” a thought, idea or a person’s advice.

    I am grateful to Ellie, Mike and the Renegade Professional team for making this available.

    May you and those you love enjoy a wonderful weekend,

    Lee

    Comment by Lee Wise — November 13, 2009 @ 2:05 pm

  36. @Didi, Ellie and BraveHeartWomen give tremendous value. In coaching she truly is able to get to the core of the matter, even though I at times, was not ready to face them. But,it got work done

    Coaching Cognition is billing to be a most significant personal development program available to the individual serious about making changes.

    With Barbara Silva, Curtis Johnson and now Dr. Ellie Drake–three very wise, intuitive practitioners working with us intimately—wow, I am so glad for this opportunity.

    Coaching Cognition will be an instrument of change for each participant. The training program will equip a team of coaches impacting the community that reaches out to them in tangible ways. How empowering.

    Comment by Pat Campbell — November 13, 2009 @ 2:05 pm

  37. The nuggets in this webinar was outstanding because it is the application of knowledge that is truly powerful. If you are unable to connect in a genuine way with your potential business partners then your business will never grow to the extent that you want to grow. Many people hide behind auto responders and email but the most successful people figure out the best way to connect with their partners. Ellie Drake was tremendous and the knowledge was unsurpassed by anything I have heard in a few months.

    Comment by shirland — November 13, 2009 @ 6:07 pm

  38. WOW…

    Comment by John Harrington — November 15, 2009 @ 10:19 pm

  39. Knowing that Dr Ellie Drake is contributing to our Coaching Cognition course does influence people’s decision to take it.

    It did not for me, as I knew that this course would impact my life in a positive way right from the start.

    Having Dr. Drake’s contribution is just icing on the cake.

We’ve been discussing the significance of developing your Coaching skills (communication, how you relate to others, your leadership and influence) and how this impacts your income level more than anything else you do.
 
But What About Your Personal Life?
 
Can coaching skills really make a difference in your relationships with…
 
Your spouse or “significant other”?
 
Your kids?
 
Your parents?
 
Your Friends?
 
People you meet throughout your day?
 
I think Adrian Schleis summed this up well. 
 
Click the link below to hear Adrian and his son describe how just ONE class with Barbara helped him to…
 
 
And how that’s impacted him.
 
Coaching Skills Take A Load Off…
 
Think how valuable it would be if you were better understood… and if you could understand others and have them feel more understood by you.  With ease.
 
How much weight could be lifted if your spouse or significant other got what you were doing in your business better.  Or, if you had more tools (communication skills) that got the kids to work with you, rather than against you–only adding to the overwhelm.
 
This is a BIG deal.
 
Dig deeper when you look for new tools to grow your business… 
 
(after clicking, scroll down the page to see more than what was there last week).
 
Partners in success,
Mike Klingler
 
P.S. If you’re not with Renegade Professional.  Get in here.  Our community training covers ALL the bases, leaving no stone left unturned.
 
In our next email we’ll share more details about what exactly will be covered in this six month course series, when class starts and how you can join us.

  1. I am so excited about being able to participate in the Coaching Cognition program.

    I had an experience this week in a discussion that created an internal response of curling up like a fiddlehead. I know it is from “baggage”.

    I so look forward to breaking free from these kind of personal limitations that have no real power.

    I am very grateful to Renegade Professional, Mike Klingler, Barbara Silva and team for making Coaching Cognition happen for us.

Did you know that the extent of VALUE you offer in your communication to prospects and clients is proportionate to how much you make?
 
Same is true in your JOB… However you make your money, your communication skills SIGNIFICANTLY impact what you earn.  Improving your communication is the fastest way to better opportunities and increased pay.
 
Uh Oh…
Probably not what you wanted to hear.
 
I AM sorry if this bursts your bubble…
 
But you might be looking for answers about how to make more moolah’ (or obtain more success in your work or business) in all the wrong places.
 
And perhaps you’re thinking that a system or opportunity is the solution when what you’re actually lacking is good communication.

This isn’t a problem that’s going to go away until you step up and meet the challenge head on.

——————————————
Who Is Teaching These Skills?
——————————————
 
Regardless of how you generate leads…
 
Whether you build a marketing funnel to generate your own leads, work a referrals list, use Google Adwords (PPC), a blog, a website, SEO, social media or you cold call leads (hope not)–there comes a point where you must know how to effectively communicate or you limit yourself and depending on how little you know about effective communication, it could stop any level of real success from happening at all.
 
If you’re good at marketing but bad at communicating, you likely make 10% of what you could with the same number of leads. 
 
Ouch.
 
Coaching skills are effective communication–they give you the ability to lead and influence people. 
 
Confidently.
 
Competently.
 
Learning coaching skills doesn’t have to be difficult… it just has to be one of your main focuses. 
 
Doing so is one of the few shortcuts available to success. 

We’ll soon be allowing students to learn these skills with Barbara Silva’s Coaching Cognition. 

 
I encourage you to take this opportunity to learn in months what took me years because I was on my own alone. With Barbara and Coaching Cognition you’ll be in a safe place to accelerate your learning.
 
There’s another aspect to this that can really make a difference for you…
 
Students of Coaching Cognition will have an opportunity to be featured ongoing at our Coaching platform–where we direct PAYING clients to you and manage all the details (we have a lot of people in need of qualified coaches and regardless of what you think now, YOU likely have the ability to be one). 
 
For many this will be a full-time income as a coach. 
 
Others will do it here and there to make ends meet, build confidence, while enjoying assisting others, and building their dream in their current business.
 
An entirely new world opens up to you when you become a coach with Coaching Cognition.
 
In case you missed it, hear from Curt Johnson about Coaching Cognition.  He’s Ann Sieg’s upline and was her coach at one time.
 
Curt’s been a coach for years so his recommendation and participation in Coaching Cognition speaks volumes to what it can mean for you.
 
Here are two others I’d like you to hear from in case you missed them.
 
 
 
 
Here are more people you can hear from about their ‘take’ on Coaching Cognition… notice how authentic they are. 
 
Notice how ’salesy’ they are NOT.
 
 
Really watch them.
 
Read between the lines–these are real people who have quickly gone from where most people start… where you likely are now…  to owning VALUABLE coaching skills.
 
You CAN do this.
 
We’ll have more details for you about how to join this exclusive 6 month class program.  Watch closely.  We’ll be open for only a short time in early October.  The date isn’t set.  I’ll share what I know as I know it!
 
If you missed my article on The Only Shortcut That Exists I highly recommend it.  It talks about developing your essential list of skills to avoid the mistake I made in my first 14 years in business.
 
Partners in success,

  1. How Much You Make is Also Tied to This… (Relaxed Intensity)

    It’s not necessarily about how hard you work, you have to work hard tho.

    But I realized early early on that when I was working so hard and thinking I SHOULD be making money just because of hard work alone – I was actually hindering my progress.

    Here’s why.

    I wasn’t focused on offering value and communicating that value to a targeted group of prospects and market segments.

    I had to learn how to communicate that value better – rather than write tired articles or awkward videos that looked like every other person.

    Yet, for the majority, there really is no other way to learn how to create value other than continuous attempts at creating content that is valuable.

    But beware, that doesn’t create influence, yet Be Aware! that leads to something BIG – a “grand opus” if you will where everything you do and everything you offer leads to that grand opus. It’s like climbing the mountain and reaching the top.

    That’s how influence can be attained.

    Just to repeat, I HAD (and so do you) to write those articles and make those videos to get to a place where I felt comfortable with understanding the process of creating value and wielding influence.

    **I also had to find coaching … Most do, and if you don’t the odds of success are greatly diminished.

    **And I had to talk to my fiance on the pillow night after night … that is both coaching and communication.

    **I had to take thorough advantage of my interactions with Mike back when they were few and far between. I knew that whenever we got on the phone I had to both listen and communicate my needs in such a way and in a short amount of time. I had to be ready to do that and the only way to be ready to do that is to always be taking the pulse of your growth and communication skills.

    And then I had to continue writing those tired articles and make more awkward videos.

    And all the while, I had to continue to be absolutely vigilant about following through and finishing strong.

    Sound intense? It is … BUT it’s also relaxed, Jeffrey Combs “Relaxed Intensity.”

    Doing all of these things will put you in a developmental process continuum and you’ll have to stop every so often and reflect…what’s next?

    During these mini-periods of reflection between bursts of productivity
    and focus on training, I ALWAYS sought after a coach, and I was always seeking to communicate.

    I think you have to.

    I ALWAYS sought to bring my fiance on board with what I was doing.

    One of the worst things you can do is to live in a vaccum. Doing so
    stunts your ability to communicate.

    If you aren’t talking to people, you aren’t doing one of the most important things that creates success – that’s communicating.

    “Producing results comes from being focused with a relaxed intensity, developing skills & habits that reward you.” -Jeffery Combs

  2. Mike and Eric have really hit the nail on the head.

    Communication is a necessity for success. It is something that I don’t do easily and I have noticed a difference when I have worked at ‘breaking my silence’ and working to communicate better.

    I can see that communication is the key. People want to relate to ‘real people’, not just be a number or a cog in a wheel.

    Communication itself is contributing value but to develop the skills will be highly beneficial to everyone, and most of all yourself.

    As Mike has said, Coaching Cognition with Barbara Silva will give you a safe place to learn how to communicate more effectively so you can continue to add value and attract people to you.

  3. There are many places I can turn to access coaching for personal development.

    Recently, I attended a conference that provided a hugely discounted value with a renowned coaching agency.

    I have decided, that Coaching Cognition is where I will seek my personal development.

    I have a deep confidence in Barbara Silva, her values and track record for succeeding in making meaningful changes in her students’ lives. I look forward to learning to be a better listener and working through “blocks” of personal baggage.

    It feels good to be able to say “no” to many other similar services that may provide great training, but do not fit for me at this time.

  4. Better Communication = Better Pay
    I have to be reminded sometimes to get my head off marketing and back on communicating. But,I know how to do it well. After all, I’m with Coaching Cognition!

    Watching Curt, Eric and Claire remind us of our ability to impact and influence others in a positive way with coaching and communication skills.

    And what a pleasure it is to learn how to effectively communicate and influence others. I’m staying focused….thanks for the opportunity!

    Comment by Becky Joubert — October 27, 2009 @ 10:27 am

  5. Becky, I agree with your equation …

    Better Communication = Better Pay.

    As Eric points out, it is so important to be able to both give value and communicate that value well.

    Coaching Cognition is definitely an ideal environment … to learn and practice better communication skills.

When I was in a networking business I did a TON of prospecting on the telephone.
 
I had to deal with a lot of prospects who were VERY challenging to work with. 
 
I remember my early years–
 
Talk about frustration!
 
Many of them had no money.
 
Others had unrealistic expectations.
 
Some were just down right depressed. 
 
Others hostile. 
 
Some would talk and talk and talk
Some were distracted.
 
Some were really kind people but totally feared change.
 
Others only needed a nudge. For me to ask one good question that ended up leading them forward THANKING me for the dramatic impact it had on them it.  Wow.
 
I learned the hard way–and the long way–how to positively influence people; how to change the way they think about things by helping them discover the answers for themselves.
 
As you know, with Barbara Silva’s Coaching Cognition training soon opening up, you’ll be able to learn these skills head on, in a safe environment and quickly. 
 
Instead of it taking years it can be learned in months.
 
These skills will assist you in nearly every interaction you have (in your business AND personal life).
 
They’ll assist you in understanding people in general (helping you in all forms of communication, including emails and copy), and how to lead people to action (key).
 
They’ll assist you in your confidence, competence and how your marketing comes across.
 
Obviously, they will assist you in succeeding by addressing the “essential list” we’ve talked about over these last two weeks.
 
A Safe Environment To Learn To Lead
 
Just one of the valuable aspects of Coaching Cognition is live role playing. 
 
You’ll have lots of opportunities to participate in the LIVE role playing–
 
This alone can be life-changing… because it’s where you learn some of the ‘finer distinctions’ (AKA, developing a “keen insight”–the first item on the ‘essential list’).
 
It may sound scary at first; but in this environment it’s actually quite safe and fun–no one is ever put on the spot.  
 
Role playing is an extremely important part of learning at a fast pace.  Because it gives a type of “accelerated experience.” 
 
Here’s why it’s accelerated…
 
The Impact of a “Real Life” Role Playing Session
 
When role playing, one “coach in training” will pretend to be a challenging prospect or client.  The other ‘coach in training’ will pretend to be the Coach. 
 
Interactive discussions among the students and Barbara help the Coaches pinpoint key moments in the conversation where it could move forward, or fall flat.
 
Ever had a conversation with a prospect or client fall flat or go south when you wanted it to go north?
 
Imagine holding a compass that you could use during any given conversation and always knowing where north is (moving toward their goals positively).
 
And whenever your prospect or client goes the wrong direction you’re able to ask a question to get them to realize ON THEIR OWN how to correct course so they can achieve what it is they want faster.
 
You’ll have “Influence” with such a skill.
 
Through role playing with Barbara and the other students, you’ll learn to recognize patterns in conversation and what to do to build bridges that lead it forward constructively. 
 
The power comes by learning to recognize the patterns and ‘own’ the questions that definitively lead someone forward. 
 
One of the role playing sessions I listened to was between Eric Walker and Claire Covington–they were in the first Coaching Cognition training course offered by Barbara.
 
Here, Eric Walker role plays as the client and pretends to have just signed up in a new opportunity and has very “Unrealistic Expectations.”
 
Claire Covington pretends to be the Coach.
 
They then discuss the pivotal moments in the conversation where it could go north or ’south’ and this is when you pick up the skills.

You’ll have access to the recordings of this very role playing session with Claire and Eric, along with many more from the first students who have now graduated from Coaching Cognition. 

 
AND, of course… you’ll be able to have ‘accelerated experience’ of your own by partaking in the new LIVE sessions offered. 
 
In the next two emails, I’m going to answer these two questions
 
1. “What Does Coaching Have To Do With YOUR Business.” (just in case that isn’t clear yet)
2. “How Coaching Impacts Your Personal Life”
 
I’ll soon share the details of what is completely covered in this highly in-depth six month course.
 
In case you missed it, watch what Claire has to say about her experience with the entire Coaching Cognition program.
 
 
We’ll be opening this to new students for a limited time in early October. 
 
After that, you’ll have to wait until next year to become a coach with us again. 
 
So if you have interest in moving forward fast this year with Coaching, please pay close attention to our emails.
 
I’ll share more details as I have them.
 
Partners in success,
Mike Klingler

  1. I am so priviledged to know that my name is on the list for Coaching Cognition. I listened to both Claire’s and Eric’s comments on their experience with the beta phase of this program. I know that their lives are forever changed.
    Eric coached me for a season and I can vouch for his very targeted, yet intuitive ability to get to the core of the matter. Eric was able, because of the skills he acquired in Coaching Cognition to zero in on the central area of development need.
    I look forward to participating, growing as a person and business owner.
    Coaching Cognition warrants your close consideration.

  2. I,m looking forward to being able to take the Coaching Cognition Course. I was unable to access the list to put my name on, it came up as a system error. Could you please let me know another way to get on it.
    Thank You

  3. Not Getting Paid to Coach? You’re Probably Not that Valuable.

    With Coaching Cognition, I learned how to be valuable. I fit myself into the Coaching Cognition platform, and now I’m getting clients sent to me who pay.

    Now I can call myself a coach.

    Before…

    I was one of the people who called themselves a coach.

    We see it all the time, it’s in their profile descriptions at the Social Media locations. It’s sounds similar to this:

    “Hi I’m First Last, an internet network marketing coach and consultant. Get coaching from me and I will teach you attraction marketing lead generation so you can leverage the power of the internet to build your online business the most effective way possible.”

    With so many people saying that, unless you’re really IT, you won’t differentiate yourself and be an active coach.

    Trust me – I went that route for months. Sure, there were months where I’d have a few coaching clients, but nothing predictable.

    Then I decided to join Coaching Cognition because I wanted to be a REAL coach, who’d gone through REAL training with a “coach of coaches” who had received REAL coaching training.

    That’s Barbara Silva. And that’s Coaching Cognition.

    You can also find more about Coaching here for your convenience:

    Webinar #2 Get Paid to Coach

    http://www.marketingmerge.com/backoffice/videos/CoachingCognition/presen...

    Upon going through the Coaching Cognition training, my confidence grew, and I realized NOW I’m a real PAID coach.

    It’s already amazing, the Coaching Cognition platform has been sending me paying clients who already know who I am and want to receive coaching from me.

  4. Some great information here for those wishing to get into coaching. I think its important to be clear on what you want to achieve.

    Do you really want to be a coach? That could be coaching others on how to be successful but your business may revolve entirely around coaching.

    That works well for solo-preneurs who can coach and get paid an hourly rate and also package their knowledge into information products and thus create some passive income.

    Coaching alone is still only trading time for dollars so its really important to be clear on what you want because the odds are you will attract it if you stick with it!

    In Network Marketing I’ve found that you very quickly see how valuable you are as a coach. You either get paid as a professional or you run your business as a hobby.

    This course will be a brilliant asset to those who really want to develop coaching skills or even perhaps those who need to discover whether they have what it takes or have the passion to be a generic type coach.

    For example I love the Network Marketing model of coaching because its fast paced and very focussed. I don’t enjoy the coaching where I get paid by the hour because it reminds me too much of a job. I get asked to do consulting work and I actually turn it down but am very happy to consult with people on the right direction for them when they become a team member or affiliate with me.

    Its funny but just goes to show that we are all unique and need to find our passion as Mike always says.

    Keep the good stuff coming guys! You inspire us all to greater things.

  5. Coaching skills are important if one wants to build a lasting Network Marketing business. Everytime we sponsor a new person into our business the coaching, and leadership must start right away to retain ones team members.
    Coaching Cognition training is a great idea.

    Comment by Rallie Rallis — October 5, 2009 @ 10:30 am

  6. Over the past two years, I have found that I really have a passion for teaching and coaching. Of course, what I have been doing is mostly natural skills and what I have learned on my own. I am VERY anxious for the launch of Coaching Cognition so I can learn how to do my passion the right way.

    Comment by Patrick Howard — October 5, 2009 @ 3:31 pm

  7. I believe the coaching cognition is the best thing for me because of all the skills you learn.
    People can recognize when somebody has true coaching skills and that’s what’s so great about this program.

    It set’s you apart as a leader that can help others in making a dream really come true. Look at the people that have learned how to coach from this program. I know enough about most of the people that have gone through this program that I wouldn’t think for one moment they couldn’t get me where I want to be.

    Comment by Rick Salas — October 8, 2009 @ 8:45 pm

  8. I hope I am already on the list too. I am ready to work on skills that I
    can help other people get on line and be successful.

    Comment by Bev Ferraro — October 10, 2009 @ 3:23 pm

  9. I can’t wait to begin the coaching course. This so resonates with me. I love to help people. I’ve watched Barb’s coaching videos and I’m ready to start!

  10. Presently I visit businesses with business coaching and communication in business in English in Poland.
    Please fill me in about Coaching Cognition

    Comment by david arnold — October 13, 2009 @ 5:12 am

  11. @ David Arnold, I would encourage you to follow the links within this article. Barbara Silva has two short videos explaining Coaching Cognition. You should have an opportunity with them to submit your name for the next class.

    The links to recorded videos of participants provided are excellent also.

    Hope that helps you get more insight on the program.

    Comment by Pat Campbell — October 14, 2009 @ 9:08 pm

  12. Even if you don’t want to be a paid coach, good coaching skill will help you build a successful MLM business, by know how to lead and coach your downline.

    Comment by Rallie Rallis — October 15, 2009 @ 9:24 am

  13. It’s all about helping others in the best possible way that you can. Then why wouldn’t a person want to learn how to coach? It’s a win-win scenario.

    Comment by Marie Leonard — October 20, 2009 @ 9:25 am

  14. Hello from Russia!
    Can I quote a post in your blog with the link to you?

    Comment by Polprav — October 22, 2009 @ 8:28 pm

  15. Polprav,

    Of course!

    Comment by Mike Klingler — October 29, 2009 @ 6:26 am

  16. Even if you don’t want to be a coach, this class will help you so very much in your business relations as well as your personal relationships. Click on the links above and listen to Claire and Eric tell of their experiences. I was in the first coaching class with them and totally agree with them!

    Comment by David Enders, D.C. — October 29, 2009 @ 7:18 am

  17. Barbara has been a mentor for me, even thought we have never met face to face, I had the good fortune to interview her a few weeks ago and she is definitely a coach’s coach.

    I have patiently waited for these sessions to start; we are just a few days away. As with everything else Renegade has had to offer thus far, this will truly be the frosting on the cake for me.

    I thank you so very much for this chance!

    Comment by Patty Jones — October 29, 2009 @ 7:38 am

  18. Coaching is something you are either good at or not. Many try to coach without any idea how to share their unique skills. Some who gain knowledge and experience failure in their chosen area of interest turn to coaching as a way to redeem the time they put into learning. DO NOT follow a coach unless they have been successful in their area of expertise. I spent many years in direct sales of financial service products and met many manager/coaches who failed at selling and were no better at coaching new people. The best coach is one who has failed his/her way to the top of their field. These coaches know how to be successful. So the bottom line in selecting a coach is finding a successful individual who also has developed leadership/ coaching skills. NOT ALL SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE MAKE GOOD COACHES! SO Develop your leadership?coaching skills before attempting to coach others! Good coaches gain satisfaction from helping others, false coaches only care about the monetary return for time. Are you willing to enrich other for the satisfaction of seeing them succeed in life and business?

  20. I have been busy studying all these weeks, months. And I enjoyed everything, Ann, Mike, David (Garfinkel) – and now I am finally beginning to feel ready. Need to take some pictures of myself, We have created a company, new email addresses etc. I will start with the Marketing merge profile, and web (Living with a purpose). And then my own web. And I really would like to study coaching!! But I live in Brussels, Belgium, so I can not interact with the other students (time zone difference). Do you have a solution ?

    Comment by Arlette Stanley — November 4, 2009 @ 12:45 pm

  21. Hi Arlette,

    I’m pretty sure they’ll be quite a few others from your time zone (or close to it) in Coaching Cognition.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if Barbara will be able to facilitate you!

    Email support@marketingmerge.com and ask that very question. She is an amazing person who seems to always find a way to help someone make it work.

    Comment by Mike Klingler — November 5, 2009 @ 8:04 am

  22. The idea that we should “find a mentor” or “find a coach” has been in the MLM tradition for quite a while. A number of the guru MLM books give that advice. Finally, we have Renegade Professional merging the best of internet marketing (check!), network marketing (check!), and now coaching (triple check!). The merge grows. So what is the role of a coach or mentor – I took a stab at that here: http://www.squidoo.com/FindaBizCoach

What People Are Saying...

What an event! I would not trade $10,000 for the experience.

The dynamics of a live event – actually connecting with all of the people we’ve met online – and having the opportunity to see the depth of character that the leaders in this movement possess – it was a fabulous experience.

Thanks to all who made it possible!
