Life and Executive Coaching The Journey Begins

The Best Getting Better

The Best Getting Better. Life and executive coaching is about working with people who are the best or consider themselves the best or have expectations they will one day be considered one of the best. I work with these people and make them exceptional, brilliant performers capable of magisterial work of the highest quality and merit. If you are the best or think you can be the best then I would like to hear from you. Whatever your field we can enhance and make you go further and achieve more. There is no limit to your self belief provided it is backed up not just by sheer hard work, for that is merely the minimum price of entry, but if you also have talent and raw potential then you are a prime candidate for high performance coaching. Getting a company off the ground, developing new products and services, preparing press releases and dealing with the world's press is an activity for the best of the best.

Press Release Preparation

Press Release Preparation for Small to Medium Businesses (SMBs). A press release forces you to sit down and formulate exactly what is different, special, interesting or newsworthy about you, your product or service. The difficulty with doing your own press release is that you do not have the perspective to do justice to your exceptional service or product (overblown press releases thrown in the bin by the press) and modesty may prevent you from fully stating your special qualities (understated and ineffective press releases). On the other hand using an advertising agency or PR agency to prepare your press release may cost you $1000 and using them to develop your whole advertising concept might cost you $10000. For $250, a one-time fee, I will develop an advertising concept and approach for you and prepare a press release that fully supports that concept. For an example of my press releases, please type in Gilbert Labour Press Release in www.google.com or follow this link. The turnaround time from the receipt of your information and details to press release preparation is 48 hours, shorter if you have an especially aggressive or tight deadline to meet.

The Press Release Preparation program takes your current product, sales, strategy and other business information and presents in a format that is acceptable to the world's press as a news item. This delicate balancing act turning business information into news is a very difficult one to achieve and requires a great deal of skill to interest the world's media in your product, service or strategy. The world's media are not necessarily interested in a story about your product or service unless these is a newsworthy angle or some other people related angle. The key to turning information into information into a story is an understanding of what might interest the media.

The primary purpose, therefore, of a press release is for you and your company to publicise your new product or service but unfortunately because thousands of press releases pour over the world's media everyday there is no reason to suppose your product or service will merit more than a delete button from their inbox. In effect any press release about your product or service is more about you coalescing your company and product information in a format that is easily disgestible to you and your current and potential customers. If your aim is to appear in the newspapers (other than as an ad) then I don't think a press release will easily do that for you (unless you own a paper) and in certain respects you do if you own a web site, you can put anything on there you like.

As a happy between a newspaper story and your web site, there are online news agencies. I can help you prepare a press release, supported by an advertising concept prepared by me, that is suitable for submitting to online press agencies for $250, a one-time only fee. I will prepare your information and turn in into a press release within 48 hours of receipt of your information.

This is not magisterial writing destined to wake the writing gods but a simple use of a potentially very complex instrument to get your message across. But should you require additional services to prepare other business oriented material, please ask for a quote for preparation. Does business writing work? well you're reading this aren't you?

Coaching Programs Generally

555 Program is complementary to the 333 Program and is part of a family of programs called The Numbered Series, a simplification of a plethora of products, services and programs into a number of specifically targeted set of programs that target a very specific audience with a limited amount of time and resources to devote to a life and executive coaching program. The programs covers a set of goals over a set period for a specific (one time only) fee.

The key goals of the 555 Program is to be able to run 5k in 5 months, to solve 5 life coaching issues or problems in 5 months and to investigate and resolve 5 executive coaching problems in 5 months.

Life Coaching Portal Programs

Beyond the existing Diamond program being run on the portal, a series of additional programs are being developed to be run for specific audiences and which have very clear targets and goals. These include the following.

The 555 Program

Gilbert Labour, will personally run this program. It will probably take in the region of 10 suitable people and run for 5 months. The program is multi-faceted and covers three main streams a fitness stream, a life coaching stream dealing with personal issues and an executive stream to supercharge your work, business and corporate environment.

The first stream is a fitness element. The goal is to be able to run 5k (non stop) in five months and be able to lose 5 kilos in the process. This is a modest achievement and is considered a healthy approach to fitness generally. I am a former fitness instructor and dance teacher and can provide guidance in this area. You will need a clearance from your doctor if you're over 45.

The second stream is a life coaching element. The goal of the life coaching is to investigate a number of current personal issues and focus on 5 for resolution in 5 months. One to be resolved or at least worked on each month.

The third stream is an executive coaching element. The goal of this element is to come up with five goals or issues to be dealt with in the 5 months of the program. These could involve working towards a promotion, changing jobs, changing careers, leaving the corporate environment and developing a small business. For the hard core executives and other corporate thrivers and survivors there will be a number of areas that include executive interview training and executive decision making that can be covered. There are many others and these can be chosen based on your current goals. The aim of this stream is canvass all the possibilities and focus on only 5 and work through each one.

The cost of the program varies. To take part on a one-on-one basis with Gilbert Labour will cost $5000. To take part in a group setting will cost $2000. Individual programs can start at anytime considered suitable.

To provide this program on a company wide basis (more than 10 people), please call Gilbert Labour for a quote.

Please call Gilbert Labour on 0409 223 436 if you would like to take part. Further information on the 555 Program is available from the portal.

General Information

I also do a small amount of pro-bono work in the area of life coaching. I belong to the Life Coaching Pro Bono Group (LCPBG), a group of life coaches I am putting together to do this type of work for people in need but who may not be able to afford the services of a full fee life coach. We make allowances for your circumstances and also on the understanding that once you're back on your feet, your capacity to contribute to your life coaching will also improve.

Generally speaking, we will set clear goals, we will put in place plans to attain those goals, we will execute the plan effectively. We will monitor and survey the results and ensure our goals are met. In most cases, we will envelope what we are trying to achieve into a coaching programme.

I operate flexibly taking into account the needs of the client as we progress with the programme.

Please call me on my mobile (0409 223 436) for a confidential discussion to begin the journey of self discovery.

You may prefer to email me your situation and your desired goals. Your details will be kept strictly confidential.
