This coaching program is for anyone who is ready to take their life to the next level.  It’s also for coaches who want to experience a coaching program that they can offer to their own clients!

Does the hectic pace of life sometimes overwhelm your dreams and goals? Have you set out to achieve certain goals, but just can’t seem to get the kind of momentum or traction you expected? Are you sometimes confused about what path to choose or what direction to take next?

If any of these statements describe you, it is likely that your foundation for success is not as strong as it needs to be for the level of success you are hoping for:

• You find yourself scattered and unable to focus on the priorities you say matter most
• You are successful at what you do, but feel like something is missing
• You have great plans and big goals, but seem unable to follow through
• You want some consistent accountability and coaching as you pursue your goals
• Fear seems to paralyze you from taking the steps you want to take
• Despite your successes, happiness feels elusive
• You are ready for a change and want the know-how and support to make the change
• You’ve downsized your dream and you sense it’s time to pursue your real goals
• You sometimes struggle with pursuing goals or activities that are not authentic for you
• Or … You are a coach who wants to better understand how to help your clients learn the basics of laying a foundation for authentic success

Bestselling author and professional certified coach Valorie Burton has developed a brand new, research-based life coaching program designed to help you lay the foundation that will empower you to create the kind of consistent success that is true to who you are and encompasses both your professional and personal life.

Through psychological research findings and her own years of coaching hundreds of people, she has observed two critical principles that will empower you to make lasting changes and enjoy authentic success and fulfillment:

1. Successful people think differently.  They make decisions differently.    They set goals differently.  They bounce back from failure and adversity differently.  They tap into their innate strengths differently.  They look at life differently.  They have a different set of thought processes and a foundation that empowers them to produce the results they want – in their relationships, finances, work, health and even spiritually; and
2. You must learn the skills to coach yourself through the challenges and opportunities you face daily so that moment by moment, you can make the choices that will manifest your vision more easily and quickly.  The Successful People Think Differently program gives you the knowledge, understanding and tools to master these skills.

This coaching program is rooted in psychological research from the emerging field of positive psychology – the study of how people become happier, more resilient, and successful – and it is aligned with biblical principles of success. Having completed graduate studies in positive psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, Valorie Burton developed this coaching program by drawing from her own professional work as well as that of world-renowned researchers under whom she studied. Using cutting-edge findings about success, happiness, resilience, strengths and the power of positive emotion, this in-depth coaching program will teach you:

• The 8 key ingredients that must be present to create authentic success and happiness, and how to build each ingredient into your ongoing lifestyle
• The one habit you must acquire in order to consistently produce results, break through obstacles, influence decision makers, and increase mental well-being
• Three keys to overcome the common thought patterns that sabotage success
• The specific steps and tools to identify and use your innate strengths to be more effective personally and professionally
• More than 100 self-coaching questions that you can use to coach yourself to success in your relationships, work, health, finances and spiritual life
• A personal plan to cultivate relationships that enrich and support your life and goals
• A unique formula for communication in your personal and professional relationships
• How to bounce back from setbacks and turn them into strategic advantages
• How to articulate your personal mission statement in one succinct sentence
• How to avoid the 6 common decision traps that actually undermine your success
• How to articulate your vision and create a goal strategy that succeeds every time
• How to consistently cultivate a sense of peace and contentment in your life
• How to set yourself up for success in a way that feels more effortless

Here are the other concrete benefits you’ll gain:

• A personal foundation that will support you as you pursue the goals and dreams that are most meaningful to you
• A proven set of immediately usable business and personal self-coaching skills
• A clear set of compelling, attainable, measurable goals and a plan of action to reach them
• A workbook to coach you through every step of this seven-session program so that you can review and even retake the course at your own pace later
• Access to audio recordings of each session
• Your questions for Valorie answered and the opportunity for one-on-one “laser” coaching during the course of the program (Laser coaching is short 2 – 3 minute coaching on a specific topic)
• The ideas and encouragement of your fellow participants on each call
• Personal accountability toward achieving a specific goal that you identify
• Measured results towards specific goals you set at the start of the program

Here’s how the Successful People Think Differently coaching program works:

• For seven sessions over the course of 60 days, you and a limited number of thoughtful, forward-thinking individuals like you will meet on a 55-minute private conference call with Valorie Burton that is part “teleclass” and part “coaching session.” 
• Valorie will spend part of the session teaching you key concepts that you can master to build your personal foundation.  The other part of the session will be dedicated to coaching participants on their goals, challenges and opportunities; answering your burning questions; brainstorming for solutions to the challenges and dilemmas you face; and encouraging you to reach your full potential in every area of your life.
• Each week, you will be assigned homework that is specifically designed to help you make critical changes and enhance your behavior to achieve the results you desire.  You will have an opportunity to partner with another participant to work on your assignments, if you so choose.
• You will receive session notes for each session and a workbook to follow along with your assignment, measure your progress and take assessments that help you better understand where you stand and where you need to go from here.
• After each session, you will be given access to a session recording so that you can go back and listen to the session again, allowing the information to take hold on a deeper level.
