If you answered ‘yes’ to any of the above, then you’re in the right place.
If you are a high-achiever, who has led, built, or worked in a business, you already have more
impressive coaching skills than you realize.
You understand people. You know how to handle (and mitigate) risk. You know how to
perform in high-stakes situations. You know when to challenge people and when to nurture
them. You know how to negotiate; you know how to delegate, and you know how to
communicate. You know how to sell (whether it’s products, services, or ideas). You’re not
afraid to speak truth to power. And – let’s be honest – you’ve been successful because of
the lessons you learned from the struggles you’ve faced…
But it is easy to forget how powerful you are, as you transition into coaching. Your previous
successes no longer seem relevant. And, if you’re a really high-performer, it never felt like
you worked that hard, anyway, right? Keep reading.
The 5 Biggest Challenges for High-Performing Leaders
For over a decade, I’ve been supporting former executives and entrepreneurs to thrive as
coaches and consultants. I have a track record in supporting leaders, on almost every
continent, to create high-performing, high-fee clients. I’ve trained many of the most
successful – and exclusive – coaches on the planet.
And there are 5 major issues I see, time and again, that successful leaders face, once they
become a coach:
1. Confidence. You’re a successful leader but now you feel like a complete beginner.
You have no idea how to get to your next level of success. Your confidence has shrunk
and there’s no-one to talk to. It’s frustrating to feel like your spouse, or your former
colleagues, don’t believe in you. Or even that they are just waiting for you to screw up.
2. Coaching. You became a great leader through decades of learning and experience.
But you can’t possibly wait that long in this career. You want to learn world-class skills.
You want to learn from the best. But you’re impatient for change and you’re longing for
success.
3. Clients. You know you have great coaching skills but it’s much harder than you
realized to enroll great clients. It’s so noisy online. Everyone is telling you to create a
website, build a ‘list’, learn SEO, do Facebook ads, use social media. It’s overwhelming. It
literally sucks the energy out of your body.
4. Cash. You loved your coach training but it was frustrating to be surrounded by ‘needy’
coaches. You can’t say this out loud (and you mean no disrespect) but you used to earn
$100K+, $300K+, or $500K+, and now you’re surrounded by coaches who hope one day
to make $40K/year. That wouldn’t even cover the expenses for you and the family. It’s
confusing to know what to do and who to believe…
5. Community. Your coach training was great but after it was over, life became really
lonely – sitting in front of your computer all day. You miss having a team. And you’re
tired of being the most interesting person in the room, in most rooms you’re in. It’s not
actually fun to have almost every coach you meet want to learn from you or seek your
advice…
Learn how to thrive in uncertain times. (I grew my own business during the worst
economic recession in recent history.)
Plus, you’ll have a peer group of top performers who will hold you to a high bar. Much
of the value of this program is in the caliber of your new community and the support
you bring to one another.
When you join Transition Excellence, you’ll access 100 days of support, coaching, and
community.
You build the skills, the confidence, and the powerful language you need to enroll
high-performing, high-fee, elite clients.
You see, she had all the skills needed to be a successful coach but she was struggling to get
clients. She’d tried all the online marketing ideas that screamed at her from every Facebook
ad. But they drained her of energy because they never seemed to work – despite all the
promises.
Life was really lonely. She’d be at home, with tears running down her face – still in her
pajamas at noon – wondering where on earth her next client would come from. And there
was no-one she could speak to. She had never met a successful coach (every coaching
event she attended seemed to be full of struggling coaches, who’d never earned what she’d
earned at the height of her career). And how could she talk to her old friends? After all, they
were jealous she’d escaped the corporate world; they were busy with work; and the only
response she’d likely hear was, ‘I wish I had your problems…’
I love working with coaches who have a track record of success behind them in another
career. And I know I will have to begin by messing with their thinking!
I quickly help them see that they are not a ‘new’ coach. In fact, they have years of learning
and insights behind them. They’ve often built decades of career capital and sweat equity
from a previous career. And that shouldn’t be dismissed.
I often remind them of a short story about Picasso...
Pablo Picasso was sketching in the park when a woman approached him.
“It’s you, Picasso, the great artist! Oh, you must sketch my portrait! I insist.”
So Picasso agreed to sketch her. After studying her for a moment, he used a single pencil
stroke to create her portrait. He handed the woman his work of art.
“It’s perfect!” she gushed. “You managed to capture my essence with one stroke, in one
moment. Thank you! How much do I owe you?”
“But, what?” the woman sputtered. “How could you want so much money for this picture?
It only took you a second to draw it!”
Helen became one of my clients and joined my community. She began to reclaim the power,
audacity, and confidence that she’d had most of her life. And within two years, she was
making $500K a year as a coach. She’s teaching women the skills they need to navigate
corporate life with power and grace, in companies that include American Express,
GlaxoSmithKline, and Johnson & Johnson. And her first book, The Unwritten Rules of
Women’s Leadership, has just been published.
How to beat the odds
High-performing leaders in the corporate world are burned out and tired. C-suite executives
are looking for a way out. Coaching is a way for them to make a great deal of income and a
huge impact, on their own terms. And be happier!
Yet, statistics indicate that at least 80% of coaches make $20K a year or less... They spend
tens of thousands of dollars on coach training, branding, and marketing, expensive websites,
or search engine optimization. And then they get no clients…
The top 4% of coaches consistently make between $200K – $1M a year, coaching
extraordinary clients, a few days a month. And that’s where WE come together.
You DON’T want… to learn how to get clients online using social media, SEO, Google
Adwords, Facebook ads, or email lists, right? You’re tired of marketing ‘experts’ telling
you to build a website, start a campaign, or learn the latest ad technology, right? And
who wants more soul-sucking networking meetings?!
The single-most important factor for enrolling high performing clients is to be a high-level
coach. With Transition Excellence, you’ll witness powerful deep coaching throughout all 12
modules. You will hone your own high-level coaching skills. You will create a powerful and
compelling vision for your future. And you’ll overcome the fears, doubts, limiting beliefs, or
insecurities that hold you back.
Clients are created. And high-fee clients are created through a powerful framework. You’ll
learn to “create” clients by mastering ‘The Prosperous Coach’ approach. You’ll practice
high-level client creation skills. You’ll learn how to build a business by invitation and referral
only. You’ll learn how to make $10K proposals, $20K proposals, and even $50K or $100K
proposals. You’ll collect NOs and you’ll be able to “fail” in a safe space.
If you can’t create and control your environment, your environment will control you. You will
learn to optimize your environment, to create goals, opportunities, actions, and thoughts that
energize you. You will create habits and rituals that support and renew you. You’ll learn how
to let go of burnout, forever. And you’ll help your clients do the same.
You will join me in a small cohort of talented and successful individuals, where you can share
your ideas and be heard. You’ll get 10x the value of Executive Insight by creating peer
coaching opportunities and ways to serve and be served by this amazing community. And
finally, you will learn how to create your own communities of extraordinary people –
wherever you are in the world.

“I was really hoping to become a six-figure coach when I started working with Rich. And what
Rich helped me realize was, that was only the beginning. Once I started working with him, I
got a book deal with Simon and Schuster. The universe is flinging doors open left and right...”
“Rich is committed to helping you remember how powerful you are. He holds nothing back
and truly serves the one person in front of him. Rich can hold the space for the group and, at
the same time, focus on YOU, making you feel that you are the most powerful person in the
room.”

same for your clients.”
