For months I’d been working on an idea to use my skills and background during my retirement years. I knew that I wanted to use group coaching to help clients on their own retirement journeys. But I couldn’t quite figure out how I was going to do that. The pandemic was a serious complication.

One day in May I was trolling the internet. I saw an ad that changed everything for me. At least that’s how I see it now.

The ad was from a company that helps people develop on-line courses. I was intrigued enough to attend two free talks on the subject. I liked the content and the speaker. The speaker and founder of the company, Danny, had insights that I had not seen or heard anywhere else. He was bright and somewhat unconventional, and he spoke exceptionally clearly. I was inspired.

I was also surprised. I had taught many courses in the past, some even at the university level. But this approach was new for me. I began to understand that I could use a group coaching approach in a course.

Danny offered a follow-up paid course that described not just the steps to do but also exactly how to do them. I was excited and signed up. This was a good decision. I love to learn new things and then apply them. This was a great opportunity to do just that.

I’ve been constantly surprised at how much I hadn’t known about the art and craft of teaching that I learned through this course. I’ve now applied what I’ve learned into my own on-line coaching courses.

What are your plans to learn something new and exciting?
