No Matter How Well Trained You Are In 'How To' Coach...
That's The 'Technique of Coaching'

There's No Substitute For Hearing Coaching Unfold In A Live Dynamic With Real Clients

By 'Soaking In' Great Coaching Your Coaching Becomes More Masterful

Now You Can Immerse Yourself In Great Coaching With

The Coaching By Example 9-CD Series
with Mentor Coach Barbra Sundquist

produced in collaboration with Andrea J. Lee
based on the 9 Coaching Masteries™ of the International Association of Coaching

Each of the above CDs covers ONE discrete characteristic of masterful coaching for easy learning and listening...

Dear Coach,

Just as great musicians surround themselves with the sound of great music, so too must any masterful coach surround themselves with the sounds of expert coaching. 

In fact, I'm sure you agree that great coaching, like great music, has a special resonance one can only begin to recognize with practice.  Hearing it, holding the energy of that resonance, and bringing that energy to your coaching sessions is a habit that comes with time.

When Internationally-Respected Mentor Coach Barbra Sundquist Hinted About Retiring...

I Asked Her to Record As Many Coaching Sessions As She'd Be Willing

The truth is, I was willing to be as absolutely convincing as I needed to be to hear her say 'yes.'  Plead, tease, offer my own time and energy, appeal to emotion, intellect, whatever it took to entice Barbra to put herself and her deep well of coaching experience 'on the record' for the rest of us.

What was all this die-hard conviction?  As author of Multiple Streams of Coaching Income and Business Mentor in the coaching community since 2003, let me just say that the thought of Barbra 'retiring' and never being able to hear her coaching again - I couldn't swallow it, so I decided to do something about it.

As a Young Profession, It's Critical For Us To Treasure Our Mentors and Seize Every Opportunity to Learn Fully From Them, Wouldn't You Agree?

The musicality of the coaching essence is undeniable, and evident in every minute of coaching Barbra has personally selected for The Coaching By Example Series.  As veteran coaches scale back their coaching, it's my hope - if I have anything to do with it - each one will invest as much time and care as Barbra has into preserving a slice of their unique coaching sound.

The Coaching By Example 9-CD Series consists of *not* 10,
*not* 20, *not even* 30, but...

55 Hand-Selected Tracks Of Coaching & Commentary
on 9 Thoughtfully-Assembled CDs

55 tracks on 9 CDs in an enviro-friendly 9' by 12' package, shown above.  Ideal for keeping safe in the car or shelving with dictionaries and other reference texts.

The Coaching By Example Series has been created with one overriding goal - To showcase a wide range of coaching clients meeting a full spectrum of life challenges head-on, in a format you can play, enjoy, repeat and emphasize an unlimited number of times.  In addition to her own coaching samples, Barbra has carefully selected mini-demonstrations of 8 Guest Coaches from within her personal network.  Her commentary for each demo - including her own - allows you to understand how and why the sample was selected.  In this way, you become infused in the timbre, energy and pacing of a variety of stellar coaching while simultaneously remaining grounded through Barbra's consistent and thorough mentoring. Whether you've been coaching for many years or just a few months, you may at first be surprised - and then delighted - at how masterful coaching sounds in this many different circumstances.

You'll learn from the types of clients you hear as well, much more than you could by trial and error, trying to stay one step ahead of new clients under pressure.  By 'trying on' each Coaching by Example demo client as one of your own, your coaching 'ear' becomes seasoned very quickly.

This is the kind of seasoning that can come only with practice.  The Coaching By Example Series of 9 CDs is your opportunity to practice, practice, practice.

 Between Each Live Coaching Track, Barbra Explains 'Why' So You Aren't Left Guessing

I believe you'll agree it's a real coup for us to have Barbra coaching extensively in real-time on this series of CDs.  The only thing that would have made things better was to have her explain 'why' she coached as she did so we wouldn't be left hanging.  So that's what she did!

As a result, The Coaching By Example Series gives us both raw material for the intuitive right-brain in the form of coaching clips, and follows through with analytical left-brain explanation in the form of commentary and critique. 

Here's just one quick example of the kind of support you'll hear from Barbra every step of the way...

Whether You Want to Become Certified as a Coach Or *Not*
You'll Hear a Rigorous Professional Standard Upheld on each CD

In case you don't already know, Barbra has a long list of pioneering contributions she's made in the coaching world.  But the one you might care about most is her previous role as Certifying Examiner for the International Association of Coaching (IAC.)   

Now, you may be interested in getting certified as a coach, or, you may be completely uninterested.  Either way, you benefit from the part Barbra played in creating the examination standards for this major certifying body.  Why?

The explanations of 'why exactly' she coaches as she does on each CD are rooted in real-life international certification standards.   A great thing for any coach seeking a robust 'coaching immersion' experience, and priceless if your goal is certification. 

In fact...if you're actively considering certification, or feel you may in the near future, you'll be glad to know --  

Each of the 9 CDs Also Covers A Single 'Official' Coaching Mastery

To achieve the IAC-CC designation, you must demonstrate proficiency in a total of 9 masteries...

Effective January 2008, The 9 Coaching Masteries™ are the new competency-based standard of coaching proficiency, set out by the International Association of Coaching.

The live coaching on each Coaching By Example disc goes into detail about one of the 9 Coaching Masteries™ outlined here for your reference: 

With one CD dedicated to each of the Coaching Masteries, each CD is a discrete unit, and contains:

• Live Coaching Demonstrations between Barbra and hand-selected coaching clients.
   

• A variety of the most common client issues, tolerations and dreams being addressed.
   

• Commentary from Barbra in 'Director's Cut' style that highlights and clarifies each technique and interaction.
   

• Each of the 9 Coaching Masteries™ - fully, and in turn, on each CD - explained from the perspective of a former-IAC Certifying Coach.
   

• Questions on each CD designed to aid you in applying it to your own coaching.

• Guidance to support you in integrating the Masteries as part of your pursuit of the Certified Coach designation, should that be your ultimate goal.

By immersing yourself in this series featuring classic examples of coaching in action, you will be better able to:

• Absorb the timbre, pacing and energy of coaching from 9 coaches in all: Barbra plus 8 Guest Coaches.
   

• Understand clearly why the Mentor Coach coached as she did based on her commentary - no more guessing why great coaching is great coaching.
   

• Become comfortable emotionally to make the choices you need to make on the spot when you're sitting in the 'Master Coach' seat.
   

• Get up to speed quickly with the 9 Coaching Masteries™ whether in your pursuit of Certification with the IAC or simply in your quest to sharpen your skills. 
   

• Stop and re-listen to what unfolds in the session so you can really integrate.
   

• Consciously adapt 'theoretical' coaching techniques you've never heard used in real life - until the Mentor Coach models it for you.
   

• Comprehend how a masterful coach adapts to the needs and character of different clients - one size does NOT fit all in coaching - you'll hear the difference immediately

Working From Her Home Recording Studio, Barbra Has Customized the CD-Series With 200 Hours of Her Personal Care and Attention

200 hours is a lot of time to spend completing just one project, if you think about it for a moment - even in Barbra's dream office overlooking the trees. In fact, that's five full weeks of full-time hours - 40 hours a week!  Not your 'average' set of CDs, let's say.  So why would Barbra spend more than 20 hours on each and every CD in this series? The answer's pretty simple - she wanted it to be the very best finished product if could be, end of story.   What this actually entailed, however, takes a little more telling, but in a nutshell...

Everything on The Coaching By Example CDs was personally selected by Barbra in her home office, above.

Suffice to say that in addition to conducting the actual coaching sessions, painstakingly selecting the perfect clip down to the second, and drafting and recording the commentary as many times as needed to get it 'just right', Barbra also took on the task of editing the audio herself, and double checking each track so she could be 100% sure of the end result.

Though I don't envy her the standards she set, I can tell you that each time I spoke to Barbra during the creative process, she was positive and upbeat, excited at the prospect of coaches the world over improving the quality of their coaching, and thereby helping make the world a better place.

Pilots Practice in Simulator Planes

You Can Practice in the Coaching By Example Coaching Simulator Plane

With your purchase of The Coaching By Example 9-CD Series, you'll also receive a set of 3 suggestions immediately via email - 3 methods of using the CDs that will enable you to get the most benefit.  One of these is what we call 'The Coaching Simulation.'

Using 'The Coaching Simulation' approach, you will listen carefully to the start of the coaching clip as if you were on the telephone with the client yourself.  Use a headset to listen to the CD to enhance the feeling of being live with the client.  Then before Barbra speaks, pause the recording, and play the role of the coach yourself.

After you play Barbra's next words, pause the recording again and make notes on what you felt. By observing your feelings and responses in this way, then evolving your coaching accordingly, you will see an enormous leap in your coaching fluency, adaptability and confidence. 

In addition to the 'The Coaching Simulation' technique, you'll receive 2 other practice suggestions to adapt. 

The Experience of Thousands of Hours with Clients Over Six Years
...Is Now Yours to Soak Up

Perhaps one of the most compelling things about Barbra's coaching is how simple and comfortable it is.  After so many client hours, there's an undeniable feeling of ease to every one of her coaching interactions, a feeling her many mentees have aspired to.

And that above all is probably what Barbra is most well known for...her ability to transfer this sense of ease to others, even when working on big goals and projects.   Here's a small sampling of what other people think of Barbra's work:

“Barbra, I’ve finally received word that I’ve passed! My scores were extremely high (99% and 97%) on the submitted tapes, and I want to thank you for your huge contribution to my success. I believe that you expedited my certification by a minimum of six months, not to mention catapulting my coaching skills to the next level!” -- Kerri Laryea, Certified Coach IAC-CC and Founder of iKlarity.com

"Barbra was a great help in writing the IAC exam certification questions, strengthening the design and quality of the questions. She is a tremendous asset to the coaching community.  If you can afford her, hire her as a mentor coach." -- Michael O. "Coop" Cooper,  Chair, Board of Governors - International Association of Coaches

"Barbra Sundquist is as elegant a coach as one gets.  She has a way of working with new coaches that creates a soothing, safe environment.  I've observed Barbra take on challenging client situations, working with the client to create a new more empowering orientation.  She is a gifted communicator, light in her approach and a gem of a mentor." -- Anna Dargitz, Ph.D. Psychology, Former Dean of Students, CoachVille Schools of Coaching

"I wanted to give Barbara feedback on the (Sound of) Coaching CDs.  I think they're excellent - clear, concise and helpful.  I particularly like the fact that Barbara provides insight into why she says and asks what she does following each coaching session." Gail Solish, Executive and Life Coach ActualizeYourGoals.com

Last But Not Least - Two Simple Assurances

In the online world, there is, as we all know, a fair pile of junk.  There are also a lot of promises made.  And although The Coaching By Example 9-CD Series isn't junk by a long shot, we'd be remiss not to give you just a little assurance. For your peace of mind. 

First, Some 'Sight Unseen' Assurance.

The truth of the matter is, without a medium like the Internet, Barbra and I certainly wouldn't have been able to collaborate and produce this product, much less be communicating with you to express its benefits.  That said, it can be very disconcerting to purchase something you've never seen.  Not to mention from people you may never have met! So that's the purpose of some 'Sight Unseen' Assurance. We've taken special care to ensure the packaging, recording, shipping, and every other aspect of the Coaching by Example Series is absolutely top notch.

Just as Barbra felt good creating the recordings in her dream office above, it's important that YOU feel 100% good about your purchase.

If however, upon receiving it, you discover you're not happy for some reason, we ask that you return the product for a full refund - our unconditional promise to you. 

Second, Some 'Feel-Good' Assurance.

In much the same way as you enjoy a CD from your favorite musical artist, we feel that the sound of these coaching clips and commentary should be enjoyable to listen to.  

If the Coaching by Example Series does not make your day more enjoyable - whether that be your commute, your exercise regime, or just your personal study time, once again, let us know within 12 months of your purchase date and we will stand by our commitment - a full refund with no hassles.

Click here to process your order now, and begin your immersion process.

Got questions?  We love to help!  Just send an email to support@learncoachingbyexample.com or call 1-403-615-1237 and we'll get back to you very shortly.

Barbra and I look forward to hearing about all the great new coaching interactions you generate, very soon.

In the meantime, here's to you and your most masterful coaching!
