As a self-proclaimed personality science junkie, Barbara Gunning loves to dissect personality models to discover their core elements and to determine the validity of the assessment. This session will demystify the most popular assessments and provide you a framework for quickly answering the question of whether the assessment will add insight and value to your clients.

You will also have some fun applying the personality wisdom to expand your own awareness of innate differences in people by doing exercises. We will explore the most common and time-tested traits.

Turn Your Slides into a Slook™ (Book)

April 8, 2019 - Rebecca Morgan 

As a coach and/or consultant, you give presentations full of valuable information. You’ve got well-designed, informative, easy-to-read slides. They are so good that audiences ask for them every time you speak. You don’t mind sharing some of them, but you know audience members would get much more value if they had what you said when you shared the slide, along with links to research papers, assessments, and others’ relevant articles. They would get even more value if they had places to write their thoughts during your presentation, and even better if they had assessments that would help them understand the material better.

You need to turn your slides into a book — you need to create a Slook™

**Bring a print out (can be multiple slides per page) of your most popular talk’s slides to get others’ opinion on if they are ready to become a slook.

Session Outcomes/Benefits include:

• You’ll determine which popular presentation has the best potential for a slook
• You’ll learn if your slides are ready to be turned into a slook
• You’ll understand the basics of turning your slides into a slook

Imagine that you’ve just received a career-defining offer to join a high profile coaching team in another State. You will get to work virtually, or be paid to travel to big companies to work. It will take your career to the next level, seal your reputation, and it pays very well! They flatter you by telling how honored they’d be if you will join them. Needless to say, you are thrilled UNTIL ... you realize you CAN’T do it. They don’t know that California just changed its 1099 laws. If they want you to join their consulting or coaching business, they’ll have to make you a full- or part-time employee in their company. They aren’t prepared for the cost of that. Here’s a list of vital questions to start from:

• Does it matter that the rules in other states may be different?
• Does this ONLY affect California Coaches and Consultants?
• Can you hedge your bets that the State of California won’t notice when you file your taxes?
• Is there any way around this? Could the company “payroll” you and pass off the responsibility to employ so they enjoy your services? If a staffing agency can become your “Employer of Record,” who will cover that extra administrative cost?
• Does this apply to your entire customer base? Or can you realistically toggle your career between Employee and 1099?

This program is a MUST ATTEND event for all coaches and consultants.

This significant change in the law will become a bigger topic in coming months and the years to come. You need to be prepared! Be the first to understand it and find new ways to adapt and protect your career and income.

Session Outcomes/Benefits include:

• Empowering YOU to understand the changes in labor law and manage their future contracts wisely
• Help California consultants and coaches to make a smooth and calm transition during the inevitable media buzz that will ensue
• Explore what to say to groups outside of California when they are making you offers to coach for their clients on a 1099

 Coach Timi Gleason

Timi is a member of three coaching teams (one in Texas, one in Northern California and the other in San Diego). In the last 60 days of 2018, her project managers have converted her over to employee status after they gave all their California coaches a choice: do the W-4 paperwork or opt out and stop coaching for us. Timi started her coaching and consulting career in 1994. Off  and   on Timi has directly contracted and at other times been “payrolled” coach or executive through a staffing company. However, since 2011, Timi has only worked on 1099 status. Timi just lost access to two years of a five-year contract because the contract holder “didn’t want the administrative headache of hiring his coaching team as employees.” SDPCA’s 2020 Club Mastermind is Timi’s pro-bono contribution to a group of member coaches who are systematically transforming their lives and careers between the dates of July 1, 2017 - June 30, 2020.  Read more about Coach Timi Gleason...

Raise your prices to empower your clients AND
fill your bank accounts by rewiring your brain

Every second coach makes less than $50 000 revenue per year.

Every second coach goes out of business before the end of his third year in business because it is not sustainable.

Sylvia Becker-Hill is committed to change that. Because she knows that for every coach who goes out of business there are thousands of people world-wide whose goals stay unreached and whose dreams stay unfulfilled.

One huge difficulty for most coaches is to get their “head around pricing.”

If you are one of them or simply want to raise your prices, this workshop is for you!

Learn how to design your prices so they empower your clients AND fill your bank accounts.

Workshop Outcomes/Benefits include:

• Get the transformation and information you need to raise your prices on the spot
