We will ask you to complete a simple questionnaire and to participate in a brief conference call with Misti in order to walk through the content and delivery plan. This will give you a chance to alert Misti to your priorities for the session and to any special concerns you might have.

Coaching by Misti Burmeister
Many clients over the years have asked Misti to personally coach them on specific topics or skills.
These have included:
• Effective Leadership Strategies
• Developing Rising Leaders
• Mentoring Programs and Strategies Related to Mentoring
• Leading Innovation
• Training Techniques
As you can tell from her work on Creatively Increasing Communication Across Generations Misti Burmeister has a special gift for understanding how to help you become more effective with the various generations and more confident in doing so. She shows people how to get results while still being Real.
Many people credit Misti Burmeister's inspiration for significant breakthroughs in their own careers and lives.
(This can also be added onto a speaking engagement for a one-time assignment.)
To schedule Misti for direct personal coaching here are the guidelines.
The purpose of the coaching is for you to be able to achieve more on your own after accessing Misti's support. It's not about her but about what you can do with what she provides to you.
We have found that the following arrangement works best for most clients.
• Coaching is done in a three-month process. The fee is payable in advance and renewable upon agreement. (One time sessions can also be arranged.)
• This begins with an in-person meeting or extended teleconference to: assess your goals and needs, identify the best format for helping you and determine how success will be measured. Misti will request certain information from you in advance to assure that this meeting is highly effective.
• Following the first meeting the process shifts to telephone and email contacts. This allows you to have Misti's support "On Tap" for quick replies and spontaneous input as well as for scheduled contact.
• If some of Misti's learning systems or materials relate directly to your coaching needs deep discounts can be applied within the coaching agreement.
• The responsibility for action and follow through is always on you not on Misti. She won't be calling to remind you nor nagging you about performance. Her role is to give you expert advice, strategic counsel and the encouragement to do what you choose to do.
• Contact, after the initial meeting, is flexible and can be reasonably rescheduled as appropriate. In the event of multiple missed appointments we reserve the right to consider the coaching agreement complete. If Misti Burmeister is responsible for an unreasonable number of missed appointments a refund of up to half the coaching fee may be made.
• The coaching fee is set at dramatically less than Misti's speaking fees (currently up to $10,000 for a day) therefore we reserve the right to reschedule coaching in order to accomodate paid speaking engagements.
• FEES for coaching vary based on the nature of the assignment but are typically around $6,000 for a three month process. Payments can be arranged via automatic credit card charge if agreeable to both parties.
Note: For clients who just want some "right now" guidance we can often arrange for a one-time telephone session for a smaller fee. One hour sessions can often be arranged for a one time fee of a few hundred dollars.

Misti has worked her magic over the past year with my life/work TEAM and was truly the catalyst, that “spark plug” – if you will - igniting an innovative revolution in our organization. Whether talking to executives or large audiences, she connects in a way few do. She is genuine in her approach which resonates with both Boomers and Millennials. You come away with a real sense of what needs to be done. This is Misti’s gift.
Misti`s groundbreaking strategies will cut through the fog of our often distorted theories and folklore about the hopelessness of intergenerational communication as she paints memorable pictures using authentic examples while speaking with such clarity that you will remember not only the illustrations, but also how to apply those models in other circumstances.

You were such an engaging facilitator at the Management Leadership Team Meeting I recently attended. Your `incredible energy and disarming manner` allowed many attending the session to open up and disclose their true feelings regarding how we could better improve relations with members outside our own age or race demographics...

Misti is as dedicated and passionate about her craft as one can be. The only thing that can possibly rival those traits is the amazing amount of energy she brings into a room. I`m constantly waiting for her to burst into flames! If your organization has a cut in its `line`, Misti is the Master Splicer you need.

Misti helped me see things and people differently. Not only did she make me see work situations as opportunities and not road blocks, she also helped me work through various aspects of my position. She taught me how to look at me differently. Through books she has asked me to read, organization skills she has helped me apply, journaling and goal setting I am learning about me. I believed in my leadership skills before but now, I know I am a great leader that has a huge amount of talent to apply to any situation/position. I am looking forward to Misti working with me in 2007 on my new expanded team. Misti will help me expand on my talents as a leader in AGS and sharpen those skills to make me more effective as months pass. Misti challenges me to be a better me in all aspects of my life which in turn makes me a more effective person overall.

Group Sales Manager, AT&T
I now can see how my focus in life was moving away from some of the things that really matter to me – family, friends, relationships, spiritual life, personal interests, etc. My schedule was controlling me instead of me controlling my schedule. By recognizing the things that matter to me most I can better balance my whole life. That makes me a more effective leader, employee, mother, wife, friend, etc.
Pat Stipe
Client Business Manager, AT&T
... I find that I am taking a more strategic approach to my business conversations both internally and externally. While I am familiar with the skills and lessons discussed in these session, I have found that as a result of my time with Misti, I am now asking questions like "what do I hope to accomplish from this conversation" prior to beginning my dialogue. This tactic alone has had a noticeable impact on my communications professionally and personally. In addition, the coaching that she has provided in the way of time management and task preparation have allow me to improve the efficiency level in my day to day activities. I would without a doubt recommend the Inspirion program as time well spent.
Paul McRae
Client Business Manager, AT&T
Misti is truly an inspirational person who challenges me to be authentic. A true coach by all definitions, full of encouragement yet willing to call your bluff. She is challenging me to be better today than yesterday and make a difference in people’s lives.
