Coaching is a profession that expands in direct proportion to the growth of the coach. Every life experience, learning, training, course and workshop can be directly used in a coach’s practice.
Choosing to be a professional coach means signing up for a lifelong journey of growth and learning. The deeper we go inside of ourselves and the more we stretch our comfort zone, the more we have to offer our clients. This is the process of mastery…and this is what The Advanced Group is about.
Deepening. Mastery. Thriving in all areas of life.
Open to a maximum of six coaches I have worked with previously (in my groups, 1:1 or The CFJ Coaching Success School), this ten-month journey commits a coach to their next level in their work and life.
Truth, Courage, Creativity, Fun and Fierce Loving are the guiding forces behind the curriculum–which each coach sets for themselves based on their own wants and desires, making the program unique and specific for each participant.
There is a professional project devoted to expansion in work. Examples include: “impossible” billings, leading a first retreat, serving a new community (corporate, teams, sports, etc), creating a keynote talk, writing a book, working smarter not harder, etc.
At the same time a personal project is created in service to living a more intentional, whole-hearted life. Personal projects include: deepening one’s experience of pleasure, releasing weight, greater intimacy in marriage, developing and implementing a spiritual/self-care practice, prioritizing joy, etc.
Alongside these projects coaches will also discover:
- How to allow their practice to be a true reflection of themselves.
- What their unique gifts are and how to share them unapologetically.
- How to trust themselves and their creativity more fully.
- How to strengthen their enrollment skills.
- New tools and resources to share with clients for greater transformation.
- Ways to lead more effectively and whole-heartedly.
- More confidence, joy and authenticity.
- A new, beautiful community of solid colleagues in their fellow participants.
- and much much more!

The first intensive, I got a clear sign within that my partner and I were supposed to buy a house, despite the fact that I had only rented apartments my entire adult life and we weren’t even married yet due to COVID-related wedding delays. Two months later, an offer was accepted on what I can truly say is my dream house, in one of the “hardest real estate markets ever” Los Angeles in 2020–not that it was for us. For us, it was Graceful, magical, and full of ease beginning to end. Now we live in the home I’ve been dreaming of for years–and the upleveling continues.
The guest coaches have been astonishing. There has been big spiritual upleveling that has taken place. And I’ve attracted fantastic clients with ease throughout. This has been an investment I will always look back on as one of the most impactful.
