When you learn retirement coaching through RCI, you will have a unique and highly effective learning experience. Our training program uses a “Blended Learning” Approach, which training specialists have proven time and time again to be the most effective way to learn and retain new skills. Blended learning means that content is delivered in small chunks or modules, using multiple media, and repetition is incorporated throughout the learning process.   You learn our proprietary Authentic Retirement™ Model of retirement design that leads to fulfillment and financial satisfaction!

Here are the elements of our Blended Learning method:

1. Physical training materials: Included with your training are two of our renowned texts, Coaching Authentic Retirement and QuantumShift Coaching, both authored by Marcia Bench, MCCC, CPRC.  Not only will you use these manuals in your training – you will find that they occupy a prominent place on your bookshelf and become a ready reference throughout your retirement coaching career!
2. Teleclasses: In your Retirement Coaching teleclasses, you will interact with other retirement coaches in training and a highly trained facilitator to discuss the principles of retirement coaching and to practice coaching in real time. This aspect alone is hailed by graduates as one of the things that helped them shift their perceptions of what good coaching is and is not more than any other single element!
3. Feedback forms and exam: At the completion of each module, you will complete a feedback form on what you learned, as well as an exam at the end of the course. These kinesthetic training methods bring it all together as you prepare to start the next segment of your program. We review and compile the data in these forms to keep improving our program as part of our ongoing Continuous Quality Improvement.
4. Virtual community interaction: Another interactive (kinesthetic) aspect of our Blended Learning Approach is the virtual community. If you have a question about how to handle a coaching client’s issue, wonder about a new assessment you have found, or are just curious how others have gotten their web site designed or found their first few clients, just email our virtual coaches group and you can get input from RCI students around the world. Feeling isolated? Connect with a peer through our virtual community! Coaches even use it to share success stories, offer expertise or best practices, and more.
