1. CONTEXT - LAST CALL for MentorCoach's final $2000 ABDSG Coach Training Fellowship.
Dear Colleague,
This is the last call for our final ABD Survival Guide Personal and Executive Coach Training Fellowship.
The winning applicant will receive a $2000 tuition-free fellowship f or the 31-week internationally recognized, ICF Accredited MentorCoach Coach Training Program--Foundations.
Coaching continues to be one of the fastest growing consulting fields in the world. It is ideal for those with the skills needed for success in academic arenas. For example, the most central skill for building a coaching practice is the ability to write lucid prose. This is quite likely already a strength for you.
The MentorCoach Training Program is accredited by the International Coach Federation. When you become certified by MentorCoach, you have met virtually all the qualifications to be certified by the ICF as well. (ICF's final step is simply to pass an open-book ICF multiple-choice exam.)
You can add coaching as a part-time addition to your current work (as a student, teacher, or other professional position) or as a full-time coaching practice, and you can make it exciting. You can tailor your practice to your strengths and interests. Graduates of our program now coach in dozens of niches with clients ranging from doctoral candidates to corporate managers and from executive coaching to academic and life coaching.
Certification
In addition, the Foundations Program provides the first (and largest) step
toward becoming a certified coach in one or more of these four domains.

3. More About the Fellowship
You will inevitably need to miss some classes. No problem. You will receive digital tapes of all classes.
* Fellowship winners should be deeply interested in the field of coaching (and in applying it to their areas of interest). Winners must be determined to take the MentorCoach Program-"Foundations" as seriously as if they were paying $1000 per week for the 31 weeks. In the long term, coaching should be an area of genuine interest in which they intend to develop a true expertise and practice over the next ten years.
* If due to conflicts you cannot attend the first class, you may join during the second or third class. You'll be able to hear the recording of any missed classes and will be quickly and seamlessly integrated into the class.
* If you cannot agree with these points, you should not go forward with this application. (If you have a special circumstance, you may write us at info@mentorcoach.com.)
Please give succinct answers to the following.
