Very Few People Will Ever See an Invitation From Me

I have spent many hours on this decision, Christophe.

Speaking to you in our initial interview, listening to the coaching sessions, our 1:1 session, sizing up your drive and commitment, following up, reviewing our session notes, I've been pondering if we are a fit for a professional coaching relationship.

Here's what I came up with... ABSOLUTELY YES

With my time and energy radically more valuable than money, I'm where I need to be in order to invite you to this opportunity.

I now want to lay out what a professional coaching relationship looks like and ask you to consider if it's right for you.

Why I Am Particularly Interested in Coaching with You 

(I know... I shouldn't make it all about me up front - Bad Barry)

The Magnitude of Your Vision - I hear it every time you speak.

What you want for yourself. What you're doing to make it happen. How you unapologetically reach for the stars, while keeping your feet on the ground and doing the work.

How easily you tossed in, "I'm getting married this weekend" mid-sentence, during our recent talk.

Together we'll create milestones that will build your confidence and force you to trust yourself. I've heard enough to know that in 6 months we can move mountains (with a big focus on corporate entertainment, television appearances, and celebrity engagements/association). Watching your work ethic tells me that I'll be engaged with you on many levels - and that is what makes me play my biggest game as a coach and mentor.


Speed of Implementation As your coach, one of my secret agenda items is to capitalize on the gifts you bring to the table and support you in making each one bigger and more valuable. 

Where many get hung up is in the area of perfectionism and procrastination. We won't spend time engaging with either of those traps. 

I'll encourage you and stand by you during the trusting and testing phases that are an important part of every successful launch and expansion. 

You have so much in place and the important steps now will be to get in front of the right people with  sound bytes, media impressions (TV, articles, blogs, videos, podcast spots, and a following - the ingredients of a movement!)

A lot of moving pieces - and each stacks up to give you the view from the top that you want.


Be a Key Player on a Winning Team More than a coach, I aim to support you in the creative and strategical growth of this business.

Writing, editing, punching up content/ads, suggesting creative improvements, highlighting themes, keeping my speaker/entertainer eyes and ears open for brilliance to amplify - and sinkholes to avoid. 

When I say "Absolutely YES", I'm all in for your success. 

That's how I'll show up to each and every formal meeting - and the brainstorming session that happens outside of our time together.


Various Paths of Monetization - You are drawing from pretty deep and rare well in today's world - and we'll explore ways to package and sell what we bring to surface.

We will create products that brilliantly represent the gifts of your generation to clients who are hungry to see and hear that message. It will be part and parcel to your brand and will be an automatic takeaway for every audience member lucky enough to see you.

You will be trained and well-suited for keynote speeches, headline entertainment, consulting, coaching, writing, and guest lecturing. There's another TEDx in you and we'll work with a special member of my team to draw it out and book it.

Everything we do will be an intentional move towards the goals we set and the mission we serve.


Strategic Growth - You're doing great work, Christophe - and what you've accomplished in a very short time in the business is the stuff of legends. 

Now it is time to transition it to center stage. I've often said that what we clearly ask for shows up - and never in a package we expected. 

As a coach, my job is to see that you sculpt the vision into reality by assuring that all arrows are aimed at the target. 

We'll use the combination of our past experiences, connections, recommendations, and network to steadily increase your position and value so that you are making offers that are in alignment with the trust you have earned in your market. 

And I must say that the starting blocks your feet are in will give us a solid foundation for takeoff.


Changing the World My job is to hold the biggest possible vision for you. I see what you are going after to be nothing less than revolutionary. 

And while you never need to think about that, know that at least your coach will accept nothing less. My guess is that your new bride also holds this vision for you - and having that internal and external foundation means that you'd have to want failure for this not to work. 

Regularly pushing you in projects and actions that render change will connect you with more of the opportunities that increase your bottom line of joy and satisfaction in your life. And that's what every member of your audience really wants.

Why Coaching Will Change Everything

Clarity

There are dozens of ways you can justify your stories or spend your time. In business, just like roulette, there are only a few numbers that pay off. There is one question that I'll ask every session that cuts through the clutter and gives you clear direction in what steps you will take to hit your target.

Accountability

If you are paying to be held accountable, you will do whatever it takes to complete what you have agreed to. If you're like many of my clients, you'll exceed your commitment and get it done well before the deadline. That performance double-whammy will earn you a lot of money, more trust in yourself, and better relationships with your clients.

Objectivity

You can go down into the forest so deep and not see a single tree. You can easily turn off praise or criticism from friends and peers because you have nothing invested in their comments. As your coach I have your permission to be objective and help you look at not only the possible options in front of you, but the ones you can't even imagine.

Balance

Someone who knows you this well has the ability (and permission) to call you out when your balance gets wonky. Ever drive a car with the tires out of balance? The ride is very shaky. You can focus on work all day and your returns will diminish without balance. There are at least 9 areas of life touched upon in coaching and your trust in the process allows you to place those little balancing weights for maximum traction.

Return on Investment

I remember when I first considered hiring a coach. I wanted it so badly and contemplated the cost of having such a 'luxury' in my life and business. After the first month of working with my coach, I put into action several ideas and projects that earned me 5 times his annual fee. I know in my heart that you have those ideas and next year at this time I don't want them to be sitting on your hard drive. 

Challenge Your Blind Spots

There is 10% you know - and 10% that you know that you don't know. In every one of our sessions together you'll be gifted with gems from the other 80% that you don't even know you don't know! Getting clarity, accountability, objectivity, and balance on those possibilities - and alternative scenarios - will keep you on track and give a return on investment that you never imagined.

The "Box of Stuff"

What are the nuts and bolts of this coaching relationship? Here are the details.

Fixed Term

My coaching program is for 6 months. You'll immediately see tangible and lasting change in your life and build on it every day. After 6 months we can renew the agreement, or take a break.

Consistency

We have sessions 3 weeks/month with one week off. This regularity demands that your intentions get your attention and create the progress you have demanded of yourself.

Fierce Compassion

We cut through stories, negative thoughts, false ego, and attachments to anything  holding you back. Many coaches won't do this for fear of losing a client. It's the fulcrum of our relationship. 

Consultant Hat

The part of me that knows your business inside and out is a value proposition you won't find in any other coach. Need a contact, introduction, or recommendation? As your coach, I do whatever it takes for you to not only see the next rung of the ladder, but also to step onto it with solid footing.

Confidentiality

Our sessions can go into areas of life that you might have never spoken aloud. Breakthroughs happen by tearing down the walls that keep you captive in your current box. The safety of our container will never be violated and that allows for the deeper work that allows you to show up bigger.

Unlimited Coaching

While our formal sessions are scheduled for 3x/month, you'll also have access for spot coaching and support as needed. When you're stuck or feeling unsure, my coaching, real-world experience, network, expertise, and focus will trigger an instant shift in your thoughts, beliefs, actions, and results. 

Private Coaching Is

A 6-month mentorship program that gives you unrestricted access to me as a coach, strategist, networking partner, and confidant.

It's About Consistency. We will have 3 formal sessions every month. During the sessions, we will review your progress, strategize, develop, brainstorm, uncover and set a plan to resolve blocks, and make commitments for moving forward.

It's Trackable. These sessions, as you might have already experienced, go into realms beyond ordinary conversation. You will have a recording and summary of each session sent to you.

It's Your Launchpad. The ShowBiz Blueprint has given you a brilliant foundation on which to create the next chapter of your life. In Private Coaching, I will push you as hard as necessary in order to reach your goals. If you are serious about wanting it, you are going to get it.

Attention on Intention. You know what you want - and I'll keep you focused on the steps necessary to achieve it. Clarity, however, about the dream you can't yet imagine, is the bigger vision I hold for you as a client.

Whatever It Takes. Literally anything necessary to move you to the next level is at our disposal, and will be provided. I typically spend 10% of coaching fees on outside advisors as needed.

Private Coaching Isn't

It's Not ShowBiz Blueprint. There are no webinars. There are no brainstorming and accountability groups. There is no Private Facebook Group. In fact, unless you tell someone you are working with me, no one will ever know.

There is Not a Set Syllabus. Private Coaching is individually designed to transition you from where you are, to where you're going. The discussions we'll have don't come from a template.

It's Not For Everybody. As you can imagine, a relationship like this is intimate and based on some history of mutual respect. This invitation is only for you. My experience of and with you has lead me to believe that you are at the threshold of the next big chapter.

It's Not For Whiners. This is the domain of those that dwell in the realm of possibility and action. I will expect nothing short of 100% accountability on everything you agree to do. If you fall short, we'll uncover why, how it might be showing up in other areas of your life, and how to clean it up.

Its Not About Making Friends. You'll give me permission to coach you in any way I see fit - and I will. If it isn't challenging you, what good is it to you?

Why Would I Work With a Coach?

Often it is a compelling or urgent call that seems 'too big' or gets lost in the minutiae of everyday life. The desire to move a project, idea, or career along faster has led many of my clients to private coaching. A lack of clarity around choices might have you paralyzed and time is slipping away. Your current choices could be leaving you with undesired results and you aren't willing to settle any longer.

How Can I Know if Coaching is Right for Me?

This can be a great unknown and exactly why I have already spent at least 10 hours in your presence. I want you to feel the power coaching has on your career and your life. I invite you to check in with yourself and confirm that you value collaboration, other viewpoints, and new perspectives. And while you're in there, get clear on whether or not you're willing to devote time and energy to making real change.

Do I Need a Coach?

You do not need a coach. On this page I have outlined what coaching has done for me and what it will do for you if you are open and willing to be honest, stand in the fire, do the work, and grow.

What's Expected From Me as the Client?

Show up with meaningful goals. Hold a vision of success for yourself. Assume responsibility for your decisions and actions. Use the session to think bigger and be open to possibility, To the best of your ability, follow through on all stretches you make during a session. Be willing to enhance your problem-solving skills.

What if it Just Isn't Working? What is the Refund Policy?

By the time you're reading this page, we've spent some hours together. I put in time - up front - without compensation to assure that by the time we are working together we hit the ground running. I have always offered a money back guarantee and have never been asked to refund a cent. That said, If you are giving this your all and you aren't seeing dramatic results in the areas of professional achievement, income, relationships, physical health, and personal growth, I will refund you for any unused portion of our agreement (pro-rated monthly).

Your Investment

The 6-month Private Coaching Program is a one-time payment of $20,000. 

A payment plan of 6 monthly payments of $3,400/month is also available.

Unlike many offers, this is not available for a limited time and you don't have to decide today. We both need your answer to be an unequivocal ABSOLUTELY YES before moving forward. Because of my schedule and the commitment this will require from both of us, I never accept more than 4 private clients at a time and I have one spot available starting January 2023 - and we could kickoff with a few meetings in December that won't count as part of your 6 months.

As I said at the top, very few people will ever see this offer. The fact that you are reading this means that I have chosen "ABSOLUTELY YES" with regards to working with you.

In Closing...

If this is your time, let me know and we'll move forward. 

If it's not your time, I respect that. I trust that you got value from our time together.

My desire to see you reach your full potential doesn't fade just because this isn't your time for a coaching relationship.

Check back with me when it's "ABSOLUTELY YES". We can discuss it at that time.

With unwavering support and belief in you,

Barry Friedman
