Are you looking for a coach on the Coaching Cognition site based on the Coaching Levels? While there are benefits to working with the more seasoned Coaching Cognition coaches such as viewing more client feedback, overlooking the entry level coaches can potentially lead to missing out on a great opportunity for you and your business!
If you are looking to hire a coach, the process does not usually take place overnight. It’s an important decision that should take time and care. Look at all aspects of your potential coaches such as profile information, background, feedback, rating, offers, coaching level, cost, etc.
When a new coach is selected for the Coaching Cognition platform, they are not placed in levels based on expertise. They all (unless they have a particular high level coaching credential already) start at the entry level, which is currently Level 0. Therefore, any new coach with Coaching Cognition will, at first, have no rating, no feedback, and minimal cost per session ($0-$25 for a full coaching session!).
Coaches at Coaching Cognition are hand-selected based on the value they give to the community, the training they have received, their coaching skills and the application of those skills, and their overall intention for becoming a coach. These are individuals who want to become coaches for the good of the community, not the good of themselves. Those who are invited to become a coach with us are the ones who have shown their value, integrity, top-notch skills, and a mindset.
Once they begin to coach clients through the Coaching Cognition platform, they will start getting feedback, which will help them advance through the levels. A Level 6 coach can charge up to $300 for a session, but when they were Level 0, that same coach was giving free sessions. Many times, mere months go by before a new coach reaches Level 5 or 6.
Why is our platform set up this way? There are two main reasons:
- 1) To give our coaches a chance to get started using the Coaching Cognition platform and show their dedication to giving value first!
- 2) To give you, the clients, an opportunity to receive quality coaching from quality coaches at a fraction of the normal ‘going rate’.
So what does this mean for you?
This means that you can receive coaching for $25 a session from the same coach who will be able to charge up to $300 in a matter of months! This is simply a deal that is hard to justify passing up.
If you are interested in hiring a coach, but you aren’t sure exactly what coaching will do for you and/or your business, look to the entry level coaches as an inexpensive way to discover the benefits of coaching. Hiring a coach is an investment in yourself and in your business, but if there were a way to get the same value for less, wouldn’t you want to take it?
But remember, our new coaches will not be new for long. Therefore, the window of opportunity is potentially narrow. Now that the students of the Coaching Cognition training program have graduated, we are taking on many new coaches, who each begin at Level 0, so now is the time to receive services from any of the following Coaching Cognition Certified coaches for next to nothing.
But first..
We would like to officially welcome and introduce our newest coaches to the team! If you see a coach who might be able to help you reach your goals, let them know by visiting their coach profile and setting up a free 15-minute introductory session today.

What can you gain from collaboration? Do you avoid working with others because you feel it will distract you from your own professional goals? How can collaborating help you reach your goals faster? Do all forms of collaboration involve beginning a new project with someone else?
To answer these questions, let’s discuss the meaning of collaboration. Collaboration describes two or more individuals who work together toward a common goal. Whether that goal is to create a product or service, to educate people about a particular concept, or to simply promote each other, if you are working with another person, you are collaborating.
So how can collaborating help
you move your business forward?
Working with others is a great way to gain more exposure. You will not only be seen by your own target market, but also by the target market of the person with whom you are collaborating. Most likely, you will both be promoting your project.
Collaborating will also teach you new perspectives, ideas, and practices. When you work with another person, you will get an inside view of the way they operate, more knowledge about that person’s target market, and see how they promote to that market. You can learn a lot from working with others.
There are different levels of involvement when it comes to collaboration. Here, we have grouped collaborations into 5 categories, for the purpose of simplification. However, the possibilities for types of collaboration are as vast as the various types of business endeavors, if not more.
1) Business Partnerships –This is most likely the highest form, because a business partnership may require the most time, effort, dedication, and focus.
2) Small Project Management – This is considered a temporary project, even if the promotion of that project continues long after the project itself is complete, because the bulk of the work for the project itself will be ‘finished’ at some point.
3) Masterminds – If you are part of a group of entrepreneurs working together for the common purpose of helping each other succeed in their own business, this mastermind group fits the description of collaboration.
4) Brainstorming – If you know someone whose knowledge will improve a product or campaign you are creating, invite that person to brainstorm ideas with you.
5) Cross-Promotion – This is the most indirect form of collaboration that sometimes begins with one person promoting another, without any expectations from that person to ‘return the favor’. However, the moment they begin to promote your work, you are collaborating, (even though you do not actually sit down together and brainstorm, plan, etc), because you are, in essence, working together toward the common goal of giving value to your community and promoting each other.
Richard Goutal, a graduate of Coaching Cognition, is an expert collaborator who helps other entrepreneurs learn how to collaborate successfully. He comes from a long background of teaching, and enjoys taking concepts and making them easy and fun to learn. His website, www.collaborationsimplified.com, is designed to give entrepreneurs the opportunity to learn from his expertise and apply the lessons to their own business.
You may have read his recent article about the No Excuses Summit in Vegas this summer (2010), in which he describes his experience of self-discovery as a leader in the industry. In our interview (below), Richard discusses this article, how collaboration in the form of cross-promotion helped him get noticed, and the incredible response to the article.
Richard Goutal wrote another insightful article in which he compares collaboration to schoolyard children at play and discusses the lessons we learn as children in the world of play seem to be re-learned as adults in the world of business. Reading this article will help you tap into those lessons learned long ago and apply them to your business today!
As a brand new coach with Coaching Cognition, Richard Goutal is going to be taking his expertise to a new level by helping you discover your own methods, strengths, and skills that can be used to develop and maintain successful and profitable collaborations.
So be sure to find Richard Goutal at Coaching Cognition so that you can work with an experienced entrepreneur and trained coach.
The interview with Richard Goutal was absolutely enthralling. You will gain new insight on how collaboration, specifically cross promotion, will help you move your business forward. It was an honor to interview Richard, because he brings such a unique perspective to his work.
