LEAP – THE COACHING MOVIE

How did you come up with the idea of the coaching movie?

We were are invited to be coaches on a film set for a documentary many years ago and on that film set we were coaching one of the actors for that film. That's where we got the idea to make an entire film just about coaching that shows the actual transformation and shifts that people go through and get all the greatest coaches in the world involved to show the tangible proof of they are skills that and then we just started reaching out to the best coaches in the world.

What was your first step?

We started by reaching out to the best coaches in the world and researching who would be the best fits the showcase and represent the coaching profession on the big screen.

We set up the criteria for selecting the right coaching clients. We got thousands of applications from coaches and thousands of applications from coaching clients through our website and our networks.

Lots of coaches got on board to support the movie and lots of coaching organizations support the movie and spread the word to their members.

What would you do differently?

We would have an even more detailed screening process for both the clients and coaches. We started making other movies, like our movie Impact about communication and body language. For Impact, we set up a much more detailed and severe selection process. The success of the film totally depends on who you selected to participate in it. On the way we discovered that there are lots of criteria that you need to get rides to create the perfect match between a client that is open for success and coaches who are a great match to create a transformation. Just putting and coaches together is not enough for success. It's a very delicate process and it takes a lot of discipline, work and attention to detail to get everything right.

How did you select your coaches?

We set up a system to select the best coaches in the world. This included a lot of criteria that they should match to be able to participate in the film. We also went for the coaches that seemed to have the best successes and the most impressive testimonials.

How did you find your clients and were you looking for specific issues?

We found the clients through our network who reached out to their clients and asked if they want to participate in the film. We also defined four areas of focus for the film.

Business coaching, executive coaching, life coaching and relationship coaching.

What did you take away from the experience?

You can achieve anything you want that you set your mind to and where you have the right mentoring and coaching support. It took three years to make this film and hundreds of people to co-create it with us.

What do you hope that people will take away from the movie?

We're on a mission to inspire over 10 million lives to be more successful in life and business and this can happen by watching the movie and following the journey of the four clients that go through a total transformation.

Once people want to movie, I’d love them to reach out to a coach through our website and start changing their lives.

What would you like to see for the future of coaching?

I think it an important evolution to the coaching profession to have a tangible way to measure the results of coaching. That is one of the aims of the films, to show the tangible results of the greatest coaches on earth.

I hope that in the near future, there will be a way to select the right coach for you and a system that helps do you to decide whether the coach is a good coach or just one that can market themselves well.
