Basic Information About Coaching Cognition Certification

The coaching training is being designed to meet the International Coaching Federation’s (ICF)  standards. We will continue to build out our course offerings in order to become accredited  through ICF.

This will allow those who wish to be certified as a professional coach through ICF to be eligible  after graduating from Coaching Cognition. This will, of course, take a bit of time, but we are  ready and able to meet these goals.

Becoming an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC) involves going through a rigorous but  stimulating course of study along with documentation of coaching completed and received, and a required number of hours of supervised coaching by a Mentor Coach (MCC).

In order to serve as a Core Coach and participate in the training of other coaches at Coaching Cognition it will be necessary to hold ICF certification.

For those who wish to begin their coaching practice and start monetizing right away, the requirements are that you hold the Coaching Cognition Certification.

This means you will have completed the 12 part series and the accompanying assignments to be offered beginning in late October. This will allow you to coach Renegade Professional clients. Should you decide you wish to continue your own training and qualify for ICF certification, we will support you in doing that as well.

Quick FAQ Regarding the Submission of Video Tutorials

Several folks have asked about submitting the three video tutorials which are highly suggested for coaching candidates.

You don’t need to worry about this yet. If you decide you want to take the training with the end goal of becoming a Coaching Cognition Coach, we will take care of this after you fulfill your requirements to be Coaching Cognition certified. Lots more information on this to come.

If you wish to take the training for your own personal development, you will not have to concern yourself with the video creations – that will all be part of the next step AFTER the training.

Take This Next Step to Show Your Interest in Becoming a Coaching Cognition Coach

If you have not already done so, be sure to get your name on the list for the Coaching Cognition training.

We’ll be keeping you updated as we get closer to making this training available to you.

In the Spotlight – Curt Johnson

Written by Ann Sieg

Curt Johnson is a very special man in my life for a number of reasons.

I’ll get to the most important in a moment.

But first let me share with you how Curt and I met. This is important because I would imagine for anyone reading this you will relate to my story.

Way back when I hit the proverbial brick wall in my network marketing business I followed up on the advice given me by my eldest son Isaiah.

He told me, “Mom you need to go after your target market. See what you can find on the internet.”

Now you have to realize my son was my upline and no one else in my mlm company gave me that kind of advice. No body. But he did.

And it was the best advise I’d ever been given.

So I went online to see if I could get help. Help arrived in the form of Curt Johnson.

You see I had become Curt’s lead after I had requested some information online. Not only was I provided that information, more importantly… and please get this… someone followed up with me.

Curt actually picked up the phone and called me!

I eventually became his downline and was invited in to his personal mastermind group called The Works Team.

Curt and I worked hard together in that company but then had to shift direction when we saw the leadership was not up to the caliber we were wanting.

And guess what?! I become his downline once again.

But far more than this history about mlm and shifting companies is what Curt has meant to me as a personal advisor.

Inside skinny: Curt happens to be the very first and only person — outside of my family — to have seen the hand drawn schematic of the Renegade System. That was December of 2006.

Curt knew I was on to something big. Something much bigger than what our company (or anything else he had seen at the time) was putting out. He took the time to drive up from his home state of Illinois to meet me and my son and see what we were up to. Here’s a picture of us, along with a couple team members, during that meet up.

Curt and I wanted answers. We wanted to help as many people as we could become empowered and in control of their lives and future. He could see that together me and Isaiah were about to flip the entire mlm model on its head. He wanted in big time!

Curt just emailed me a very personal confidential email just a week ago about why he is so dedicated to the Renegade phenomenon.

You can take from The Renegade what you need to build your mlm but here’s what Curt had to say,

“The more individuals that are working their business as free and creative entrepreneurs, collectively the more good leavening effect we will have on society through business.”

That is what The Renegade is about.

Yes! Curt and I are definitely on the same page.

But now let me share with you on a personal level how Curt has helped me.

I think most of you would agree we’re pretty complex creatures. We’ve got these facets that contribute to our overall wholeness as an individual. They’ve been categorized as emotional, physical, mental and spiritual. And all of these components need to be fed and nourished. Neglect one and the rest of your system is off kilter including your ability to work your business effectively.

This is why as a coach you need to treat the person as a whole. On the order of the naturopathic approach to medicine. You look at the person as a complete unit (not separate parts) to help them through a medical situation. Not always but for the majority of health issues.

Same with working your business. When anyone of these areas — emotional, spiritual, physical or mental– get messed up, it affects your business. Maybe because of an unresolved conflict you resort to drinking and other weird behavior and your business starts to take a nose dive. We see this all the time. Or maybe someone goes into major league depression. To treat it? Again, look at the whole person.

That’s what Curt did for me.

Not just once. Several times. And I’ll say it was mostly for emotional and spiritual counsel. His counsel (what I can best summarize as wisdom) made all the difference for me to go in and work my business with even more dedication and focus. It was because he was able to help me work through some internal issues that I needed addressed.

What price can I put on the value of Curt’s counsel? Incalculable.

This is much like the Coaching Cognition program that Barbara Silva has put together for our Renegade Professional members. Did you know Barbara and Curt have been working together on this project? More so Curt providing input and advice along the way. Barbara’s definitely the primary architect of this program but she’s also wise enough to accept input when it comes her way.

Barbara did tell me Curt’s help has been huge. Yes. That sounds like the Curt I know. He’s a Go-Giver in the truest sense.

Some of you may not know he also happens to be a full time missionary. He goes to scary places that well… I’d be chicken to. But he does. Because he cares.

That’s what motivates him. He’s lived in a hut a few times over the past few years as a missionary. So he’s definitely not in it for the money.

It’s more like what else he shared in his email with me,

“Part of the bigger picture for me in being part of the Renegade Phenomena is that we are standing clearly for FREEDOM. There is no sphere that inappropriate, overextended, or simply evil ‘controlling elements’ will not try to destroy the human experience as it was created to be.”

There you have it.

Like I told my Marketing Merge Professional team Curt is ‘good people.’

Curt, thank you for all the spiritual and emotional support you’ve been for me along with helping me to be a better network marketer and more effective business woman!

The Renegade Professional community is well served to have you as part of our community.

Good News, Curt is now officially a Renegade Professional Coach and Trainer…and here are some of the video tutorials he has already in store for you.

Renegade Professional Community Go-Giver Award – Becky Joubert

Meet Renegade Professional Super Guide, Trainer and Coach, Becky Joubert

Renegade Professional News is recognizing Becky Joubert with the honor of being this month’s Go-Giver, a distinction we give to those Renegade Professionals that go out of their way to give, give, give without want, and do so for the betterment of our Renegade Professional community.

Becky Joubert is one of the original Renegade Professional Super Guides, and has been a Renegade Professional from day one.

What did Becky Joubert Do to Be Honored with the “Go-Giver Award?”

• Becky always takes an active role in any and all “Renegade Collaborations.” Whether it be with the Super Guides program or an independent marketing joint venture with other Renegades. Becky listens closely, quickly assesses how she can contribute, and then gets it done with little praise and no commotion. Becky is consistently offering value for value’s sake.
  
• Becky is always helping other Renegade Professionals. For example, Becky recently spent hours of her time helping another Renegade Professional with iContact. Since Becky has created video tutorial content on the subject of iContact, a Renegade Professional community member approached her for guidance on that topic, and Becky over-delivered with a service-minded attitude.
  
• Recently, Becky has been named Renegade Professional Super Guides Coordinator. She’s long been helping other Super Guides in our Renegade Professional Super Guide community. Becky has accepted the position of Super Guide Coordinator without compensation. She is now leading her own projects and managing aspects of the program. Becky has always relished in the opportunities that the Super Guide program offer to help so many, and grow as a leader.

This is what Becky had to say about being a Super Guide:

As a super guide, we learned early on from Mike Klingler that Super Guides were not just ordinary marketers, but guides that went over and above what was expected of an attraction marketer. Every webinar that Mike led pointed us in the direction of giving, and having it come back to us long term.

First our relationships with other Super Guides formed, as we learned what we were actually supposed to be doing. As a group, we heavily support each other and “bolster” each other.

I try to set an example for other attraction marketers. I reach out a helping hand when we see a need. We all support Marketing Merge in its efforts to support us in the Super Guides program, and take it upon ourselves to point less knowledgeable marketers in the right direction without expecting anything in return. I’ve always viewed that as a win/win.

I like being in the position of someone who is known for setting an example for the community. I’ve taught or trained “something” that has helped so many people learn how to improve “something” throughout my working career. So, becoming a Super Guide fit right in with what I’ve always done – just in another capacity. It’s very rewarding to be in a position to help, and even more so as part of a team effort.

The Super Guide program is exciting because it is so much bigger than any one person, and we have such a “grass roots” impact on this fabulous community.

Renegade Professional and Renegade Breakthrough Mentoring Program Intern “Up & Comer” – Mike Wilson

Meet Up & Comer Mike Wilson

Mike Wilson is a Renegade Professional, Renegade Breakthrough Mentoring Program intern, and most recently, a Coach for Coaching Cognition and a Renegade Professional Super Guide.

He’s a perfect example of someone who has jumped into “all things Renegade” with both feet first – and getting tangible results and satisfaction in return.

Why Mike Wilson is an Up & Comer

Mike has managed the rigors of Renegade Breakthrough Mentoring Program with his Renegade Professional training to create 30+ pieces of content, and closely follow the 90 Day Action Guide.

Mike was diligent about networking with various people to learn more about both Coaching Cognition and the Super Guide Program. Upon being resourceful and “putting himself out there,” he got focused and accomplished the following:

• Created video tutorial content for the Renegade Professional back office on the subject of LinkedIn.
• Became a part of the foundational group of coaches that comprise Coaching Cognition.
• Sent in an application, went through the review process, and was accepted into the Super Guide program.
• Identified an immediate way to improve the Super Guide program, and has collaborated with Eric Walker to create specific Super Guide training that addresses that need.

In Mike Wilson’s Words

First and foremost, I am an Entrepreneur at heart … always have been.

I am pumped about all things Renegade Professional.

This is the first time I have been involved with a company (or program) where the philosophy fit so well for me … on all levels, not just on the business level. That is such a critical factor because it pervades every aspect of the business.

The more I learn about Renegade, the more I like it, the more comfortable I am with it, and the more excited I am to be associated with it. This has been going on non-stop for the last five months!

It’s the reason that I pressed myself to take advantage of Super Guides and Coaching Cognition platform – even at a time when I was going through Renegade Professional and the rigorous but rewarding Renegade Breakthrough Mentoring Program!

It just fits!

Yes, it can be overwhelming, but I recognized that these types of opportunities come along very rarely and I simply had to get involved. A business environment that truly embodies the abundance mentality, in action, and encourages not only personal development, but also service to others as the primary means to that end is very powerful.

The Renegade Community gives members access to an amazing depth and breadth of resources and expertise, but what sets it apart even more is the nurturing environment that is conducive to individual growth.

I can give back, I can help people, right now … and I can be a successful entrepreneur doing it.

Every other company and partner that I have worked with – the more I learned the more I realized that we were not operating on the same business philosophy or same high standard of excellence. In those environments, I couldn’t reach my potential and I couldn’t help others reach theirs either.

Here I can! And as they say, I’m on my way.

Upward and Onward,

Mike Wilson

Renegade Professional “Up & Comer” – Warren Little

Meet Up & Comer Warren Little

Warren Little connected with Renegade Professional in February of 2009 having been a successful seven year offline network marketer.

Why Warren Little is an Up & Comer

• Warren is quickly positioning as a genuine ‘guide’ in the Renegade Professional community, and prolific marketer (you’ve probably seen him around the net at one social location or another).
  
• Warren has the understanding that with massive consistent action, he will build his credibility ranking and provide a platform to display his leadership abilities – specifically in the eyes of those network marketers making the transition from offline to online business building methods.
  
• Warren Little is Renegade Professional’s newest Super Guide, and with that position, he commits himself to continue helping others experience greater levels of success without wasting time, effort, energy or money.
  
• Warren has gone through the 90 Day Action Guide, and now diving headfirst into video marketing. He’s learning the tools to market his videos on a large scale, and is already beginning to teach that skill to others.
  
• He networks with 2-3 other Renegade Professional community members nearly every day, and by doing so, is learning and exposing himself to more and more of the issues and needs common in this industry.

In Warren Little’s Words

Because coaching and training network marketers have always been a part of my business model, I saw all the opportunities within the Renegade Professional community as a boon to excel in the internet network marketing environment.

And after having been personally coached and mentored by network marketing industry icons Randy Gage, Randy Schroeder and Eric Worre, I knew how to identify and connect with strong mentors.

So I was immediately impressed with the leadership at the top (referring to Ann Seig & Mike Klingler) here at Renegade Professional.

I actually had a brief interaction with Ann Sieg about three years ago, and have always respected her insights and leadership.

Featuring Jerry Chen – Renegade Professional News Guest Author & New Renegade Professional Trainer & Coach

Who is Jerry Chen?

Jerry Chen is a relative newcomer to the Renegade Professional community. He has chosen to join and partner with the many programs that Renegade Professional has to offer. This includes becoming a trainer and coach.

Jerry’s profile as written in Renegade Professional back office coaches and trainers section:

Jerry Chen exemplifies the essence of attraction marketing and provides massive value to those around him in their business or personal lives. He combines his off-beat yet effective face-to-face relationship building skills with online marketing and branding expertise to teach attraction marketing in a highly effective form.

Having studied strategies and principles taught by various mentors such as Ann Sieg, Mike Klingler, Mike Dillard and Tom Bell, and finding success by applying what he learned, Jerry truly is a leader in the industry that walks the talk. Jerry is currently the host of the popular network marketing training show, Build A Magnetic Network, as well as a trainer and coach for Renegade Professional, with particular passion in the area of monetization through personal branding and information product creation.

About Jerry Chen’s Build A Magnetic Network (in Jerry’s words)

First off, this training interview show is about communicating a holistic approach to building a network marketing business by featuring a wide range of leaders in the network marketing industry (some in closely related industries, but not directly involved) to share their personal stories and simple, duplicable success tips and strategies that you can easily follow and apply in your business.

Before the show idea was born I had a slightly different idea in mind: Having found success in offline network marketing and after studying and practicing online attraction marketing for about 1 year up until that point, I was getting ready to hire a coach to teach me how to create a good video marketing campaign for myself.

I ended up hiring Jody Colvard and Declan Dunn, two of the foremost experts in training the average person to produce his/her own show. From them, I learned the following:

• What audio and video equipments to use
• What editing software to use, where to buy it
• How to edit audio/video files
• How to market the show effectively
• The training even covered things like How to breathe on camera and How to sit on camera

And because of their technical coaching and emphasis on heart-based marketing, what originally started out as an effort to promote my business became something much bigger than I thought – One that will be not just valuable, but also unique in its own way that benefits and UNITES people in the industry, not divide them.

The site is being updated as we speak, but to learn more, go to Build A Magnetic Network.

With a show like Build a Magnetic Network, you might be wondering, How do I go about deciding who to invite to be guest speakers on the show? And why would they say Yes?

Like many people reading this now, I have become familiar with the reputations of the big names in the attraction marketing realm, but didn’t have any actual friendship or personal relationship with any of them to speak of. Especially not as the basis for invite to interview on my show.

So, I get asked:

How have you managed to assemble a guest list that includes Mike Klingler, Ann Sieg, Fernando Ceballos, Tom Bell, Jim Yaghi, Tom Challan and Diane Hochman, among other great leaders… in less than 3 months?

In my opinion, it’s the personal development training I’ve received in network marketing and plenty of exposure “putting myself out there” at the social networking sites.

Note – see the new section in your Renegade Professional back office titled Personal Development from your main menu. Jerry has created a tutorial titled, Profiting Through Posture

How I Came to Meet and Interview Mike Klingler – A Lesson in Networking

I “met” Mike Klingler during the Fernando Ceballos vs. Ann Sieg saga.

We both commented in the same forum thread as peacemakers, and immediately noticed a commonality. Then we exchanged two email messages before connecting on the phone.

The next thing I knew – Mike honored me with an interview, relayed my idea to Ann Sieg, and later that night I was on the phone with Ann Sieg too!

Fast forward four months, and our friendship progressed. In early July, I flew up to Portland to visit Mike and film the Build a Magnetic Network interview. I had the pleasure of also meeting Didi Alcheva in the process.

It was a phenomenal experience hanging out with them. The interview went very well, and you can see Part 1 of the interview here.

The interview was great, however the most valuable part of my experience was spending three full days with Mike & Didi, and the exchange of ideas we shared.

We had fun. For example, see this Attraction Marketing Training – TIRAMISU Success Secrets video from the last night I spent in Portland.

How I Became a Trainer & Coach For Renegade Professional

During my stay, Mike enthusiastically spoke of the trainers program and the upcoming Coaching Cognition program with Renegade Professional. It sounded great, and I thought I could collaborate and contribute.

I had only recently discovered all of Renegade Professional’s resources. When I laid my eyes on the back office and saw all the training, I was thoroughly impressed!

Not just by the sheer amount of training materials, but also by wildly detailed and clear step-by-step instructions. Upon meeting Mike and Didi, I just felt that I HAD to contribute to Renegade Professional.

Why?

Because I know I’m getting involved with a group of likeable leaders who know what they are doing!

Introducing the Generation Y Marketing Merge Professional Team Members

In the previous issue of Renegade Professional News, you learned about how the Marketing Merge Professional team met up in Portland – coming together to conceptualize the mission and vision of the company.

The Marketing Merge Professional team get together was a huge success, much was accomplished, and everyone got to meet each other – person to person.

Progress was made with a few of our major projects that will take the online networking industry to the next level.

When discussing our vision, a major emphasis was placed on family being a big part of business. We have a few families on the team working together that lead by example.

Another point of emphasis is the advocacy of cross or inter-generational relationships in business, and the win-win situation that occurs when…say… a baby boomer and someone from generation Y network, and offer value to one another. This is happening every day within the Renegade Professional community.

Take a good look at the Marketing Merge Professional team, you might have noticed that there are people who come from different generations: baby boomers, generation x and generation y. We all bring different skill sets, abilities and perspectives to the team. That’s what makes things so powerful!

In this issue of Renegade Professional News, we want to introduce you to the Generation Y Marketing Merge Professional team members.

Why Generation Y? 

The characteristics of Generation Y are as follows:

Technically savvy and/or ability to learn aspects of new technical exercises with relative ease.

Ability to adapt super-fast to change

A consistent energy and enthusiasm to inspire any “willing” dog – young or old – to learn new tricks (i.e. hang here for awhile and learn from the young’ins – LOL).

The major Marketing Merge Professional Gen Y contributors include Diyana Alcheva (24)

, Isaiah Sieg (25), David Sieg (20), Andrew Wanschura (25) and Justin Gehring (24).

You know Diyana Alcheva from our previous issue when we did a highlight on her and the type of work that she does at Marketing Merge Professional. To sum it up, Didi is Mike Klingler’s right hand … errr… “man.” She is often referred to as the glue that holds it together. She is also Marketing Merge’s COO.

Then we have Ann Sieg’s oldest son, Isaiah Sieg who is the Director of Marketing of Marketing Merge Professional and CEO of 80/20 Marketing. His main goal is to make sure our business-building information reaches the people who need it most.

David Sieg is also Ann’s son, and responsible for email marketing distribution. Andy Wanschura is head of the copywriting and PPC department. Justin Gehring is the web developer.

During the Portland meet up these guys found out that they have a lot in common so they decided that it would be really cool to have fun together.

They not only work together full time, but they are like minded individuals who share similar goals in life, and the same age group. So having fun together only made sense and as a great connection point to get to know each other out of the work environment.

So just a week and a half ago all of them (except Justin) met in L.A. and went to a rock concert together. It was the first time that David, Diyana and Andrew met. Pretty cool!

Because of the awesome experience they had in L.A., they’ve decided they will to get together and have fun around the World a few times a year and keep the trend going.

Our Marketing Merge Professional Team is proud of our Gen Y team members. 

You can see a quick video from Didi who recorded a quick video at LAX while waiting for the “boys” to land.

Partners in Progress,
Diyana E. Alcheva
Keep Going! Keep Growing!

P.S. Another Gen Y member recently joined the team. Blaine Glynn is working on the 80/20 Marketing programming team.

Blaine is also Candace’s son, which typifies another Marketing Merge Professional value – that family & business aren’t separate, and the bringing the family into your business in one way or another, can be very healthy and fulfilling.

It also touches on the point of cross or inter-generational relationships, and how that can play out in a valuable way.
Watch the interview Ann Sieg conducted with Candace Hogan, and her son, Blaine
