Why
would I want to be a TurnKey Coaching Solutions (TKCS) Coach?
What’s in it for me?
Thanks to our global marketing efforts, TurnKey Coaching Solutions
affords you extensive reach in the exposure of your coaching business.
TKCS generates the client demand for you, and then pays you for your
coaching services. You enjoy the regularity of a steady stream of
qualified clients to your coaching business. We do the marketing
– you do the coaching! [top]
How
much money will I make? What additional opportunities are there for
more income?
The income potential for coaches associated with TKCS is exceptionally
good. Compensation for individual and group coaching is extremely
competitive because we assure our clients only the highest quality of
coaching. Additionally, there are opportunities to earn even more
income through other means, such as leading group coaching sessions,
conducting teleclasses and teleseminars, developing off-the-shelf
workshops or other materials, writing articles, referring business to
us, making public appearances on our behalf via our Ambassadors’
Program, and more. [top]
What does it
cost to become a TKCS coach?
There are NO application, registration, or membership fees. [top]
How many clients will I
have?
The exact number of clients any given coach will serve will be subject
to individual determination between that coach, TurnKey Coaching
Solutions and our customers’ needs. [top]
Do I have to
take the clients you assign?
No. When we match you with a client, we will formally offer you
the engagement along with a summary of the program, the relevant fees,
and any other client requirements. You may accept or decline any
coaching assignment. We ask that you respond within 48 hours so
that we can continue to move the process forward, especially if we
need to assign a different coach. Thanks to our matching
process, the clients and coaches are typically a very good fit.
On occasion, however, a client or a coach may request a
reassignment. In such a case, the Program Manager will assess
the circumstances and determine the most appropriate
resolution—reassignment being only one of the
possibilities. [top]
Do
I have to be certified?
TurnKey Coaching Solutions promises and delivers the finest quality
coaching services available in the world. We are proud of our ability
to attract and service the finest clientele, as well. In order to
maintain this top-notch standard of excellence and to meet our quality
commitments to our customers, we use only coaches who demonstrate
excellent coaching ability and the highest integrity. These attributes
are crucial in the delivery of top-caliber coaching. We believe
coach training is important to these standards and accordingly look
for coaches who have invested in their own professional development.
Several of our coaches hold International Coach Federation (ICF)
credentials while others do not. Although formal credentials are
viewed as a plus, it is NOT a requirement. Conversely, having an
ICF credential or other training certification alone is not sufficient
for automatic acceptance as a TurnKey Professional Coach. [top]
Do I
have to carry professional liability insurance?
The availability and affordability of professional liability insurance
for coaches is still uncertain and spotty. The insurance market
is regulated by each state which complicates the underwriting of this
kind of policy. At this time, TurnKey Coaching Solutions is NOT
requiring its coaches to carry professional liability insurance.
We anticipate that some corporate clients will mandate it in the
future, such that coaches chosen for the assignment will be required
to provide proof of professional liability insurance in order to
accept the engagement. Several new options and policies are
coming into the market every day, and we strongly encourage you to
procure a policy as soon as it becomes available and affordable in the
scope of your business. In time, when this coverage is more
broadly acceptable, we hope to make it a requirement. This is
one more way we can provide our sponsor companies the peace of mind
that they desire. As this issue evolves, we will keep you well
informed of any pending requirements and also provide a significant
transition period for compliance.
| Please note: If you are a
member of the International Coach Federation (ICF), you are
eligible for professional liability insurance through one of its
resource partners, Westminster Indemnity Ltd. A very high
quality professional indemnity and public liability insurance is
now available to ICF members in Ireland, the United Kingdom and the
United States - at a very competitive premium. You may want

What
educational opportunities will there be?
In addition to the annual reorientation sessions to update Independent
Contractor Coaches on the Company’s procedures, policies,
prescribed methodologies, and current developments, there are numerous
opportunities for coaches’ continuing education with TKCS,
including teleclasses, seminars, workshops, and ongoing peer
coaching. We are dedicated to the continuous training, support
and professional development of all our coaches and the coaching
profession worldwide.
For those coaches who want to pursue ICF
accreditation, acquire CEUs to maintain their accreditation, or are
interested in taking their coaching ability to the next level with
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), TKCS is affiliated with Coach
Academy Texas. Coach Academy Texas offers practical,
NLP-based coach training and ICF certification preparation that
integrates the science of Neuro-Linguistic Programming with the expert
coaching practices embodied in the ICF coaching competencies.
It’s a one-of-a-kind training experience of the highest
quality. The faculty includes a Certified Master NLP Trainer, 2
Master Certified Coaches (MCCs), and a selection of highly regarded
guest speakers throughout the program. The program’s
founders, Mina Brown (TurnKey’s President) and Paula Asinof, are
seasoned business executives and experienced professional coaches who
bring a valuable perspective on what it takes to be successful in
today’s coaching world.
All TKCS coaches are eligible for an automatic 15%
tuition discount when they enroll in Coach Academy Texas. Please
mention TKCS when inquiring for further details. [top]
Who are your clients?
Because of client confidentiality, the identities of our clients
cannot be revealed. However, we can tell you that our clients are,
typically, executive, supervisory or professional employees of large
corporations, constituents or fans of national public speakers or
personalities, or members of on-line membership businesses. [top]
Where are the clients?
Geographically, our clients may be located anywhere in the
world. From a practical perspective though, they are only as far
away as the other end of a telephone line. [top]
