When Should I do Coaching?

Hi captain Bob, I have really enjoyed your web site and your postings on the PFC board. I have ordered your tapes and video and I am working on getting better at my orals.

My question is I would like to do the coaching because I know it would help and I need to improve my oral score. How does the private coaching work? I live in Washington, do you do it over the phone? If so do you tape the conversation so I can review it or how does that work?

Also, I do not have any orals coming up at the moment so should I do the coaching now and keep on practicing or should I wait until I have an up coming oral to do the coaching?

I ask this because funds are tight and I want to make sure I do it at the appropriate time. Sorry for all the questions, I just don't know how this process works. Thanks for your time and all the great information you continue to supply. Steve

Captain Bob's Reply:

We will record your coaching by phone because of time and distance. Too many candidates wait until the last minute to get coaching. You should plan on a coaching session when you have practiced your script with a tape recorder.

You will use the taped session to improve your presentation. When you're ready, call my Son Rob at 707-869-1330.

Absolutely nothing counts 'til you have the badge. Nothing!
