Three Little Girls

Once upon a time in Dallas, Texas
there was a small incorporated town,
within the city that had no library.

For years and years the citizens
had lamented and petitioned for library funding
But for years, it was to no avail.

Now in that town within a city,
there were three little girls wanting to earn
a Girl Scout community service merit badge.

One of the girls had always wished for a library,
and she asked the other two to join her on a mission,
and the three decided to create a library to earn their badges.

So three little girls dropped off hundreds of flyers,
followed by reams of donated grocery bags
on doorsteps asking for books for the library.

In the summer of 2001, three little girls,
And some of their friends,
collected 40,000 books for the town with no library.

Then Bank One gave them some space,
Donors donated generously to add furnishings, and
Volunteers catalogued and shelved the books.

Today the town has a volunteer library
that is full of wonderful books and
is open six days a week for all the people to enjoy.

The town has a library because one little girl had a vision,
and two of her friends decided to join her in creating that vision,
as a project for their Girl Scout community service merit badge.

Twelve Keys to Group Coaching Success

With Coaching a 2.4 Billion dollar business in the US alone, group coaching is the way to leverage your reach in the market, leverage your time, increase your income and provide a new challenge and inspiration in your business.

Next group begins in January of 2009. Ginger Cockerham, MCC, started coaching in 1995, and has been coaching groups in companies and organizations since 1997.

1. Twelve Keys Group Coaching Success is a six-month program that includes all the tools and skills you need to successfully launch and coach your groups. Group Coaching is not simply an intuitive process there are some things you need to know!

2. Each week we incorporate key topics, report on successful implementations, learn new proficiencies, inspire and encourage each other and coach around obstacles and opportunities.

3. You will receive extensive materials, worksheets, templates, proposals, agreements, flyers and group coaching presentations so that when you finish you have your own “group coaching manual.”

4. Laser-coaching sessions for each person help you eliminate obstacles and maintain momentum.

5. Each program group is limited to 10 people so that we have an interactive and creative environment with lots of time to customize your practice.

6. The six-month program of two 60-minute sessions per month with Ginger offers one off-week session with group members. The cost is $295.00 per month (charged at the beginning of each month). This gives you the opportunity to create and launch your own groups during the program and co-create with others who are on exactly the same path. Join a group now.
