Next Strong Start Teleclass begins May 8, 2007!

Back by popular demand, we are offering another Strong Start Teleclass to begin in a few weeks, on May 8, 2007 at 3:00 PM EST. We still have a few spaces left and would love to have you join us.

Here are some comments from the Strong Start Teleclass participants of the class that is just ending:

"I got very clear from this 4-month process that I need to head in a very different direction. I don't think I would have realized this on my own."

"I filled my practice during our class from 8 clients to 25 clients."

"I loved knowing I was not alone, and that my challenges were shared by others across the country."

"Best for me was the concrete information and strategies, so I know exactly what to do next."

The Strong Start is our motivational teleclass for therapists, coaches, and healing professionals at any stage of practice building who feel stalled or burnt out. Starting a private practice or renovating a stalled one can be daunting. It takes time and energy to turn a small practice that is just surviving into one that is profitable thriving. Going it alone can be tough, especially when you have a full and demanding life.

It helps to have the right kind of support when you are building your practice. The right kind of support is a professional group of your peers who will celebrate with you when you succeed, commiserate (but not indulge you) when you have a tough time, help you stay consistently motivated, encourage you, and hold you accountable for your goals.

Join our Strong Start Teleclass Program! We meet by "bridgeline" — an easy to access conference line, that you dial just like a long-distance phone number at the given time, to be connected to everyone on the call. The Strong Start Teleclass Program is a twelve-hour, four-month-long progressive practice-building program that follows the first several months outlined in Lynn's best-selling workbook text: 12 Months to Your Ideal Private Practice: A Workbook to help therapists and healing professionals take the right steps to build their ideal private practices.

Using a combination of lecture, discussion, assessments, exercises, skill sets and lots of fieldwork, you will be guided through a curriculum-based program, based on the workbook. Each month the teleclass meets for a total of three hours by phone (one hour every week, three weeks per month, for a total of twelve hours) to complement the workbook objectives and assignments. The teleclass will help you to take the learning and preparation further than you might do on your own. We tape each class for you to listen to at your convenience, anytime, if you are away or need to miss a session.

It is led by Lynn Grodzki, LCSW, MCC and Wendy Allen, PhD, ACC, who will help you to get moving on the goals and visions you have for 2007. Cost is only 40 per hour ($475 for twelve 1-hour sessions.)
