For Consultants, Coaches, Speakers and Trainers An unprecedented new web technology that makes the skills you teach stick, while permanently embedding your presence in client organizations. |
Too often, the work you do for a client doesn’t “stick.” You deliver high-value services, but the client doesn’t invest in follow-through and participants don’t apply the skills and tools you’ve taught them. ProStar Coach is a revolutionary follow-through support technology your clients use in conjunction with your services. Subscribers get 24/7 access to rich ProStar content along with your content, and virtual coaching along with real coaching from you and others:

“Where has this tool been all my life?” “I certainly know what most of my strengths and 'needs work' traits are, based on years of experiences, and I’ve made less-than-whole-hearted efforts to overcome faults without ever being able to say I’ve really conquered that problem. "Now I’m investing time in ProStar Coach and I find that I’ve never worked with such a comprehensive set of tools to address my 'needs' as ProStar Coach provides. These resources have actually inspired me to work daily on specific traits – I have a choice of videos, activities that drive my thinking beyond the first or second level of self-examination and access to people I trust as personal coaches. "Each morning I open ProStar Coach and prepare to complete at least one Success Tool for the personal strength I’m currently addressing. Often I’m so intrigued by a Self-Discovery activity or the Insight-to-Action analysis that I go beyond my self-assigned task and choose other strengths to examine (there are 40 strengths to work with!). "Where has this tool been all my life? It’s in-depth, comprehensive and easily accessible; it allows me to identify where I want to focus and then select the Success Tools, Training Videos and Job Aids that suit my learning style. I have the option of moving at my own speed, consulting with peers, but being accountable for my own growth, knowing that I will never stop learning." Christine Johnson |

“It feels like a good friend and coach who's encouraging my progress and bringing out the best in me!” “ProStar is the most complete online coaching leadership program I have seen and used. If you have the motivation and willingness to grow, then this Coaching system brings everything else. The assessments help you focus on both strengths and gaps. The training videos are practical and easy to digest. The support job aids serve as perfect reminders of each leadership skill set. The numerous Success Tools are inspiring and encourage self-reflection and growth. And the ability to get feedback from my personal and professional network helps me stay accountable and focused.” “The tools provided within ProStar are powerful and solid, plus they are all offered in a sincere, authentic and encouraging way. It’s inspiring just to log-in! It feels like a good friend and coach who’s encouraging my progress and bringing out the best in me!” Suzie Price |

“The key measure is that it helps me improve my business.” “As a long-in-the-tooth and experienced independent consultant, I have used ProStar Coach in a way that meets my needs in an environment where I work very much on my own. With no support team to delegate to, I can build on personal strengths but I have to find ways around coping with my weak areas. I find that the Voice of Encouragement is a very helpful way of thinking about how I approach various aspects of my work activities, and what I might do differently. The messages are short, relevant and very much to the point. It is so easy to slip into well-established ways of behaving, yet the message seriously challenges you to step back and think again. “My preferred learning style is that of a Reflector, so the Insight-to-Action reflection process also resonates well for me. It is a regular activity at the end of the many feedback projects that I run, particularly at the end of sales presentations. With business life generally being quite pressurised it is so easy to omit the review phase in the Plan-Do-Review cycle of project management, with the temptation to move on quickly to the next challenge. The structured Insight-into-Action process ensures that you don't become complacent about what you do, whether one-offs or routine activities. It's a great antidote to complacency. “There are many other things that impress me with ProStar - easy to use, well-presented, there when I need it, and so forth - but the key measure is that it helps me improve my business. It does, and that is why I commend it to others.” Harvey Bennett |

"My 24/7 virtual coach when I need to think through an issue while my buddies are sleeping..." “As a life-long learner and executive coach, I’m always interested in broadening my professional skills so I can bring the best to my clients. But, like many busy professionals, time is precious. "ProStar Coach meets my needs and fits my schedule. It’s easy to use and has an impressive array of practical learning resources that lets me learn according to my learning style. I get to pick and choose what to work on and when. For example, it gives me the opportunity to take a topic and watch a 20-minute video, download hard copies of “Cliff” notes as well as PowerPoint slides. I can then follow up with a select series of exercises to provoke my thinking and reinforce my learning. I can also create a real-time accountability circle of trusted friends to test my perspective and give me feedback. If I want to further reinforce what I’ve learned through relaxation, I can listen to a 10-minute meditation on the topic at hand. There’s even an exercise that helps me learn from experience. "The content is fresh, diverse and on-target. It is now my 24/7 virtual coach when I need to think through an issue while my buddies are sleeping. I’m also recommending it to all my clients as a 'one-stop shop' learning resource center to reinforce and strengthen leadership skills over time." Elizabeth Fried, Ph.D. |
