Weekly Live Group Coaching Sessions

With Chris Mursau, you make a plan for exactly how to implement it. We don't leave you to plan on your own. You show up weekly for the group coaching sessions to get your specific questions answered and focus on the next steps for implementation.

community_peers_edge_sales_page_2 (1) (1)-1

Community Networking & Peer Support

The community is built of other growth-minded leaders from companies around the world.  You have the opportunity to connect and access a support system during the implementation process. The more you can collaborate with other like-minded peers at your level with similar business problems, issues, and opportunities, the more accelerated your learning and action.
We use this same process methodically every single week  – and it's how we've helped thousands of companies in 70+ countries. This process is powerful, and why we can say we have implementation rates of around 70%.

Entrepreneurs and business leaders who work with us not only understand "how" to make the changes needed in their companies, they are enabled to finally "make" the changes, step-by-step, rapidly, without faltering or losing steam.

You can always dial in from wherever you are; there will be leaders joining from around the world. That's a reality and we want to accommodate it.  You don’t need to be camera-ready to participate in these live sessions.

Once recorded, they're uploaded to your learning platform, Dojo, where you can find and revisit them at any time. 

 

So if there are sessions you can't make, you can always watch the recording and then ask questions and get involved via the forums.

What is included in each Master Business Course?

Each course is uniquely designed and jam-packed with value and added value! You should find the specifics for this course on each unique information page.

Every course includes: 

  • Recorded sessions with the thought leader and their teams of experts and raving fans
  • Live virtual coaching calls with the thought leader and their teams of experts
  • Robust Toolkits and resources designed JUST for the Growth Institute course (you won’t see most of them anywhere else!)
  • A global community of peers learning and implementing alongside you
  • And a custom stack of added value, parallel learning opportunities, and more!

How are Master Business Courses different from other online courses?

We offer a unique learning experience, specially designed for busy leaders of growing businesses. There are 4 main elements of our 360 Hybrid learning experience that ensures that you see the change you want to see in your business throughout each course:

  1. Direct learning from the experts - the creators, authors, researchers, and experts who crafted the methodologies and concepts shared in each course are the ones teaching it!
  2. Robust systems toolkits - our course creators work directly with these amazing thought leaders to take their methodologies and turn them into an actionable and implementable curriculum that you and your teams can use right away in your business
  3. Live Coaching - this is a BIG ONE. Deepen your knowledge of each concept with direct, live virtual access to your thought leader and their team of experts. Ask questions, get personalized advice, and… 
  4. Community and peer support - learn also from your peer's experiences, questions, and the advice they receive!

How much time does this take?

Roughly 3 hours a week for the duration of the course: 1 hour for watching the weekly video modules and 2 hours a week for coaching and implementing what you’re learning alongside your team and classmates.
