October Teleclasses Start Soon, Register Now!

It can be hard work to own and operate a private practice.

If you feel isolated or alone when it comes to making decisions, if you need to understand the ins and outs of the business of therapy, or if you need to get to the next level with more clients, more money, more organization, or just more support --- these low-cost teleclasses (only $45 per call) may be the perfect solution!

Our Basic or Advanced teleclasses can help you set your own goals and achieve them over the next several months. Make 2007 the year you give your practice the help it needs to not just survive, but thrive.

The teleclasses start the first week of October and are designed for therapists, coaches, and other healing professionals, in the convenience of your home or office. We connect by phone and use Lynn's workbook as a guide. Pick the best course for your stage of practice development.

Basic Strong Start

This 4-month teleclass is highly supportive, motivational, and informational. Use this class to get unstuck, set new goals for the rest of 2007, or re-energize your practice.

We cover the first 6 chapters of Lynn’s workbook, from entrepreneurial mindset to marketing to money to your business vision. Using the support of the group, you will define your practice-building goals, move forward with them, and use the coaching support of each call for learning the skills you need to develop and become a truly savvy entrepreneur. A bargain at only $45 a call. Three hour-long calls each month for 4 months, for a total of 12 hours of business coaching. We tape each call so if you need to miss, you can listen in at your convenience. Choose one of 2 classes:

A) Mondays at 2:00 PM EST or
B) Wednesdays at 3:00 PM EST

Advanced Strong Start

Brand new, by request! Ready to go further? This is the class for you. Pre-requisite: Basic Strong Start, attendance at previous workshop, or permission of the class leader.

This 4-month advanced teleclass gives you the skills and support to take you to the next level. We cover the final 6 chapters of Lynn’s workbook, from profit to more marketing ideas, to charting the evolution of your practice and the new models of viablility.

Using the support of the group, you will define your practice-building goals, move forward with them, and use the coaching support of each call for learning the skills you need to develop to achieve practice success over time. A bargain at only $45 a call. Three hour-long calls each month for 4 months, for a total of 12 hours of business coaching.

What others say about the teleclasses...

"The teleclasses changed everything for me. This year my client count fell, but with the help of the coaching calls, I learned how to fix it and began to generate quality referrals within the first month. I also learned how to better manage my finances (finally!) and must say that I feel confident and competent. I loved meeting the colleagues from across the country and Canada and my group still stays in touch." (Social worker in private practice for 6+ years)

"I am a massage therapist and a life coach. I have taken other courses about practice building, but this was definitely the best. Lynn really understood my situation and my needs and showed me how to hang onto my principles while becoming more business-like. The course paid for itself immediately in more clients and a much higher level of profitability. Two months into the class I took a risk and raised my fees across the board. Thanks to Lynn's advice about how to do this in a relational way, I didn't lose a client. I find that I have more energy now for my work and less worries." (Massage therapist, life coach, in practice for 9+ years.)

"I am new to private practice and the calls really helped me get started. I loved the contact with Lynn and others who mentored me just by their willingness to share so openly about their own challenges. With the help of the teleclass, I am off and running. I have my office set up, am networking comfortably, and building the career I wanted." (Licensed counselor in practice 1 year)
