TLT Coaching is built on brain science. Brain science advocates spending short periods of time concentrating and spreading out the learning over time. We designed the program to be completed over ten to twelve weeks with about one hour per week of study. If you need to complete the program more quickly, we encourage you to go back and revisit the material in order to get the most out of the program.

The most complete type of learning is application to a real world challenge. We ask you to read Becoming a Strategic Leader and answer questions in your journal about how concepts apply specifically to you. Writing in your journal is key to retaining the material. You also cement learning through both the audio and visual modalities and by completing practice exercises and suggested activities.

We believe in growth not change. Change is unnatural, that’s why people resist it. Growth is naturally inspiring. We help you to become more of who you are when you’re at your best. This is opposite to the approach of the vast majority of coaching and training programs and why so many “self-help” programs are doomed to fail.

“Holistic coaching” and training leads to long-term growth. Focusing solely on strengths or simply taking a personality test misses the aspects of your personality that can derail you. We help mature your strengths AND lighten the shadows that can threaten your career.

Self-knowledge without a game plan gets you nowhere. Once you gain self-knowledge, we show you how to capitalize on your unique personality and use your strengths strategically.

You want to think about the Core Program in three parts corresponding to the three parts in our book Becoming a Strategic Leader. The program consists of the eBook and personal journal, a career branding exercise, coaching tip videos, professional development articles and an action plan. We describe how to navigate the course on our website and in the welcome video once you enter the learning site.

You can take the program on your own or with a partner or team. We have found that when individuals team up to take the program together it helps everybody to stay committed. A study partner or team dynamic is also useful to help reinforce the material, address challenges, and exchange ideas.

We recognize some people have near-term important events and goals and want to accelerate learning. If you need to prepare for a critical interview, job performance review or a big new assignment, by all means, put the pedal to the metal!

By selecting the accelerated fast track option, we expect that you’ll compete the TLT Coaching program in 4 weeks. We’ll be checking in with you once a week for 4 weeks via email. If you do not select the accelerated fast track option, we expect that you will complete the TLT Coaching program in 12 weeks. We’ll be checking in with you once a week for 12 weeks via email.

Should you select the accelerated option we encourage you to return to the material. Neuroscience advocates that spreading out learning results in improved long-term memory. So if you select the accelerated program, take the time to go back and re-read the book and view the videos again. Take full advantage of the program!

The components of TLT Coaching are designed to build upon each other. Everyone receives all of the components of the Core Program. The Advanced Career Coaching builds on what you have learned in the Core Program. The Executive Program builds on your Advanced Career Coaching experience.

Advanced Career Coaching contains the Core Program plus an individual coaching session. In order to have the knowledge and understanding to get the most out of the Advanced Career Coaching, you should have read the first seven chapters of Becoming a Strategic Leader, completed the accompanying journal sections and done the Career Branding Exercise.

To get started with Advanced Career Coaching, you download, complete and return a questionnaire. Once you upload your questionnaire, you’ll receive a confirmation email with instructions to schedule your coaching session.

We use the information you provide in your questionnaire to create a customized report. This report is the basis for a 45-minute live coaching session. This session can be used to hone your personal brand or branding statement, prepare for an important interview, or help you think accurately on how to use strengths strategically.

The Executive Program builds upon the Core Program and Advanced Career Coaching. This coaching option includes extensive personality testing, an analysis and interpretation of your results, and two additional live coaching sessions. It is for those who want to accelerate and intensify their professional growth, gain dramatic self-awareness, and strategically accelerate their career.

When you sign up for the Executive Program you will receive an assessment package in the mail for you to complete and return. Once we receive your completed assessment package, we’ll send you a link to schedule your first coaching appointment. But first you should have completed your Advanced Career Coaching session – the customized report created for your Advanced Coaching session is forwarded to your Executive Program coach prior to your first coaching appointment.

No refund will be provided once payment has been processed and a password has been provided. If you put in the appropriate time and effort, you will get results. Your satisfaction is very important; although we do not have a refund option, we encourage you to contact us directly if you have trouble on the site or have any issues with the content.
