preparing for your CTI certification exam

Congratulations! You've had an amazing journey. You began with your five "Core" training weekends (doesn't that seem so long ago?) and it was clear that Coaching was important for you. So important that you continued on with your training, entering one of the more rigorous and comprehensive Coach Certification programs available. You've attended the classes, studied the lessons, and no doubt given (and received) plenty of coaching.
And now the time is coming for that final stage... THE EXAM!

    But how ready do you feel?
    Are you confident you will pass?
    What skills are you still striving to improve? How well have you been able to develop that ability to know where to take your client?
What if there was someone you could have a session with--something that was similar a "Supervision call" that can give you so much feedback on your coaching.
What if there was some way to "power boost" those skills that you already possess?
What if there was a way to eliminate any anxiety and pressure that inevitably builds in those final weeks?
What if there was a Certification Prep call that could get you centered, focused, prepared, and set on a path to your coaching confidence and exam success?

Well, good news. There is. And not only that, but it's guaranteed. (for more about that, see below)

If you're ready to sign up for one-on-one work or for the new Exam Success and Confidence Class, click here and get right to it.

why are prep calls important?

A) Let's face it. You're looking at this page most likely because you're a little nervous about your exam coming up. Even unconsciously, the last six+ months have been building up to this moment. You want to make sure you're prepared. The more specific feedback you can get in how to strengthen and apply your CTI Skills, the better you will feel. And because there's that underlying pressure of "You got only one chance to do it right," most likely your Saboteur is having a field day with you.

2) As amazing as your Core and Certification leaders are, there's just not enough time and structure built into the system for every coach to get the support they need.

III) Just about the best you can do is load yourself with practice sessions and an occasional triad coaching. Other than that, there's very little outside support in preparing for your exam. It's easy and very natural to feel overwhelmed and unprepared, or even worse, feel strangely over-prepared and confident, like you must be missing something.

why MY prep calls are really important.

A) Over five years of CTI training, massive amounts of assisting, and having a full load of CTI coaches as clients keeps me focused on the basics. I also lead the bi-weekly CTI Skills telecalls where we focus on a different CTI skill each time. If I may toot my own horn a little, I know the CTI skills deeply and have helped many coaches discover a deeper learning and integration of the CTI skills. I have a great passion to help coaches discover how to step in to their best, either through full one-on-one coaching or through prep calls. If there's something from your training that you don't quite get, I'll most likely be able to clarify. I can help you, too.

2) Before coaching I was an actor. Actors have to learn how to overcome performance anxiety and create powerful and engaging auditions almost every day. Through my experience, I've developed some amazing techniques designed to shift focus and purpose that'll COMPLETELY TARGET AND ELIMINATE ANY EXAM ANXIETY you may be experiencing.

III) I failed my exam the first time. I mean, miserably. It couldn't go much worse. And yet, it was the single most powerful learning from my entire coach training. I now know what was missing. The learning I received not only turbo charged my own coaching, but provided me with valuable insight in how to not only pass the exam, but to carry it into everyday coaching. I discovered "The Secret," the "Super Skill" and how to build deep coaching confidence that will extend way beyond your exam and well into your coaching practice. Your coaching will never be the same.
In other words, my past experience is yours to take advantage of.

My session with Ben completely shifted my perspective about the exam ina way that I did not think was possible. It's one thing to talk likeyou are not coming from fear, but, in reality, to still be scared deepinside. It's quite another to be able to stand in a completely newplace for real - and that's what he did for me. - Susan O.
The exam prep call with Ben has been worth every cent. "This is the best [money] I have spent for coaching." Ben goes deep bringing everything to the surface which hones in on the nuances of coaching. Laurene T.

what you get:

    First off, I offer a complementary introductory conversation to clarify your thoughts and feelings about the exam. If you still need to take your written exam, there is some guidance to help you keep focus. We also explore how to effectively use your transition time between the written and oral exams.

There are five calls in all included in the "Exam Prep to Confidence and Success" package. Each of them focus on building your skills and coaching confidence in a different way and are 45 minutes to an hour long.

    Call #1 focuses on a simple, yet powerful tool that you can use at any time. It's perhaps the most important thing that you can learn in your coaching that will help you discover amazing power, energy and focus.
    Call #2. Escalate your coaching in just 15 minutes a day. It's a simple approach that impacts over 7 of your coaching skills instantly, as well as some amazing extra benefits and impact to your coaching practice. Your coaching will never be the same.
    Call #3 revisits your Coaching skills with the Coaching Skills Game. You'll comprehend the Co-Active model like never before. It's just like music. You have to learn all the basic notes and chords first before you can play jazz. This is coaching jazz. This is where you begin your coaching mastery.
    Call #4 focuses on the actual exam experience and where you discover an added advantage and confidence for your exam. It's guaranteed that you'll be disconnected from your client at some point, and here is where you get three simple and powerful techniques to instantly get re-connected. We'll also discover the powerful and amazing Secret Super Skill that's even above the "above the line." Many coaches don't consciously know about this, but it's what creates complete coaching connection. Even CTI doesn't focus on this.
    Call #5. Your final call is completely about YOU and your purpose. This is when we will target and ELMINATE any anxiety about your upcoming exam, creating a 100% success for you in your exam. This aspect alone is powerful and has helped many coaches keep their focus during their exam so they can do what they came to do and be what they came to be. Of course you'll not only leave the call with this deeper knowledge, awareness and coaching shift, but with simple yet powerful structures to keep you in that focus from the moment our call ends until the moment your exam is completed.
All in all, you have up to 5 hours of working with a seasoned coach (not bad for only $400) who's expertise is helping coaches discover their unique "coachiness". You'll directly benefit from my personal exam failure, and all the skills and exercises that have come as a result--tools designed to build deep comprehension and and powerful application of the CTI Skills, adjust your focus for your exam, streamline your day-to-day coaching, and boost your coaching confidence, along with tips and techniques to keep you connected to your client and your skills throughout your exam, so that you can walk away feeling 100% successful.

In the end, you'll discover that this package isn't really about helping you with you exam. It's about helping you discover that powerful and confident coach within you. It's about turbo-boosting your coaching so that it will never be the same. It's about taking those steps towards coaching mastery, and coaching Jazz.

Now at this point, if you're even a little curious, I encourage you to take one of three simple actions.
