In This Six Week, 1-on-1 Workshop Design
and Mentoring Program
with Me,
Reid Mihalko!

I’m Reid Mihalko, designer and co-creator of such workshops and training programs as www.CuddleParty.com, www.FoundationsOfFacilitation.org, www.Speed-Flirting.com (and a host of other workshops and teleseminars). Let me help you bust through whatever creative blockage you’re experiencing as a facilitator. I can help you over come any “I’ve always wanted to, but could never” fears you might have and create a workshop that will change people’s lives. Allow me to make designing workshops make sense. How? By working over your shoulder with you as you and I midwife you through the sometimes difficult process of birthing a full-blown workshop!

YOU GET…

• • Six, 60-90 minute phone calls, Skype.com video conferencing sessions, or In-Person (when possible) Mentoring Sessions, each with your own day and time slot locked in and spread out over six weeks or twelve!

• • My “Reid Teaches You How To Fish” homework assignments: Don’t just get a workshop at the end of six weeks, LEARN how to design a workshop so you can do it over and over without anyone’s help!

• • A “back end” to your workshop that will include copy for your website and flyers that you can be proud to call your own - worth the cost of mentoring itself!

• • A workshop FAQ ready to upload to your website that you can use for the Press as well as your workshop attendees!!!

• • A workshop structure, outline and design process that you will be able to use to build off of and create an eventual Teacher’s Training Program if you’d like! (Yep, teach other facilitators how to run your workshops just in case you ever want to retire! Have your workshops grow larger than a one-person operation!)

• • Access to the resources, tips, and unique perspectives Reid has used to launch his career and workshops on just pennies!

• • My unbriddled enthusiasm and playful belief that everyone -anyone- can touch people’s lives and make the world a better place. (With this mentoring program, we’ll focus on doing it through workshops!)

ALREADY HAVE A WORKSHOP READY TO GO BUT
NOT COMPLETELY HAPPY WITH IT?

If you’ve already got a workshop that you’ve created but not thrilled with it yet? I can help you tweak and polish it, and mentor you on how to get the press to take notice when you’re ready to launch it. Cuddle Party garnered over one-million dollars of FREE PRESS and was receiving major publicity before it was two month’s old! Montel Williams, People magazine, Newsweek, Jay Leno, Saturday Night Live… Even The Colbert Report have covered Cuddle Party! While you and I tweak that workshop of yours from good to great, let me help tailor your creation into a news story that the press and media will want to snatch up and run with!

START WORKING WITH ME TODAY TO
CREATE THE WORKSHOP OF YOUR DREAMS!

If you are willing to take responsibility for your life and be accountable for doing the homework, my gift for teaching people how to design workshops and implement them will be the tipping point for you to birth the workshop you’ve always wanted to lead and start running it! Or let my 1-on-1 Mentoring be what gets that workshop you’re already running to garner more notoriety! 

… OR YOUR MONEY BACK!

Yep, complete the six-call series of sessions and homework over a six-week or twelve-week period (you decide), and if you’re not convinced that working with me helped you create (or revamp) your workshop faster and more powerfully than you could have done on your own…

I, REID MIHALKO,
WILL GIVE YOU A 100% REFUND!

Why a 100% refund? Because that’s the Reid Guarantee: nothing less than an extraordinary experience of customer satisfaction and creativity! (Note: an “extraordinary experience” does not always mean an “easy experience”, okay? After all, mentoring and coaching might cause you -and me- to grow a little, right?)

How much does 1-on-1 mentoring with Reid cost?

Well, I’ll tell you right now, this kind of access, focus, and devotion 1-on-1 for six to twelve weeks isn’t cheap…

For starters, I’m one of the few people out there with this level and depth of experience and insight (not to mention sense of humor!) in workshop design, workshop implementation, teaching workshop design, as well as experience in dealing with the press and media.

I’ve lead over 250 Cuddle Parties to thousands of people. I’ve taught more than two hundred people the nuances of group workshop facilitation and certified dozens of people as official Cuddle Party Facilitators in an organization I helped create. I did this all with training and mentoring programs I design, launched, and mid-wifed into existence. And, most shockingly… I did this all in less than 5 years!

And that’s just Cuddle Parties!
I’m not even counting the other workshops I’ve designed and run!

But the real reason I’m excited about mentoring other workshop facilitators on how to create amazing workshops is two fold:

• 1) I love sharing what I’ve learned and empowering people with it (this happens to be what most of my life is about, btw)

• 2) I want to see more high-quality workshops and workshop facilitators out there in the world doing what they love and making the world a better place!

Life is too short to
Be leading bad workshops!

That I can share what I’ve mastered about workshop design and help amazing people lead transformative workshops (workshops that you can design in such a way that you could even train others to lead them!) is a gift to receive as well as give. I love doing it and everyone benefits!

What’s more, how about creating workshops that are pre-designed to lend themselves to teacher trainings and certification programs? Imagine a workshop to train others to run your workshops! Or a certification program to certify talented individuals to spread your workshop across the country or around the world?!? That’s what we had to do in the face of the overwhelming response to Cuddle Party! What would it be like, if you wanted to, to have a Foundations of Facilitation Training or Certification Program or both as a means of expanding the reach of your workshops and create extra income streams for your business?

The Workshop Design Process I’ll Mentor You On,
You Can Use To Create Your Own Teacher Training!

Use our mentoring sessions to design a workshop from scratch, revamp an existing workshop, or create your own teacher training program and/or certification program. It’s all the same to me because, you see, the same design principles apply. A teacher training program is just a workshop on how to lead a workshop, right? Right!

So your question to working with me really shouldn’t be “What’s it gonna cost?” but…

“What is this worth to me?”

Well, if you take action, follow my advice, and do the work, you should have a kick-butt workshop ready to test-run in less than three months! How long it will take you to actually run it and tweak it and get the press to start covering it, exactly, will depend on your current level of experience and any other skills that you bring to the table…

When the media storm for Cuddle Party hit, I had only designed one workshop previously (and I’d only ran that workshop once!). Cuddle Party was only the second workshop I’d created! So, even if you’re brand-new to workshop design and haven’t ever run a workshop before, I can tell you from my own experience that the time lapse for what is possible -from workshop idea, to offering it to the public, to the media grabbing hold of it as a news story- can be measured in weeks and months…not necessarily in years.

I’m not saying that what happened with Cuddle Party is going to happen to you, but I can guarantee that you can design a powerful workshop that touches people’s lives and be beta-testing that workshop with real, live people in less time than it takes for the average person to get a hair cut and have to go in for another one!

Would that be worth something to you as a facilitator-wanna-be?

Of course it would!

What about creating a second workshop you could offer along side whatever other teachings and offerings you’ve currently got on your workshop menu? Or how about creating a completely different workshop for a whole new demographic of people? Would having that ready before the next change of seasons occurs be a valuable addition to what you can offer for the rest of the year as a seasoned facilitator?

Of course it would!

And, remember, that’s not bringing into account the idea that you could create a whole teacher training program for your workshop when the time is ripe and have other facilitators teaching something you designed! Heck, you could do what I did with Cuddle Party and create a teacher training for the teacher training program. Yikes! Imagine that, you’ll have all the same tools at your disposal that Marcia Baczynski and I had when we:

• • • Created, designed and launched Cuddle Party!
  • • Created, designed and launched Foundations of Facilitation, the weekend retreat/workshop we use to scout out and train our future Cuddle Party Facilitators!
  • • Created, designed and launched our 4-month long, Cuddle Party Facilitator Certification Program, what we used to launch our organization of qualified Cuddle Party Facilitators who spread Cuddle Parties to four countries across three continents (and expanding)!
  • • Created, designed and ran the training program we used to teach two of our best CP Facilitators how to teach the FoF weekends and run the Certification Programs so we didn’t have to be chained to our workshop organization in order for it to survive!

To date, I don’t have to run a single Cuddle Party or teach any of the Cuddle Party trainnings and certification programs for Cuddle Parties to continue spreading and growing. Yep, Cuddle Parties will continue to live on and grow without me! And you know what? You can learn the tools to do similar things with your workshops and offerings! It still takes work, but ask yourself…

WHAT IS THIS KIND OF FREEDOM
WORTH TO YOU

Really? What is it worth to learn how to design everything you run so that they’ll be able to live on after you. Design your workshops so they’re “pass-on-able” and start doing it now!

While that amazing concept bounces around your brain, let me ask you this: If you don’t start designing the workshop that’s waiting to burst forth from within you today, or if you don’t begin creating -right now!- the teacher training program for that workshop you’re already leading …

When will you start doing it?

Really, hire me to be the kick-in-your-pants that you’ve been waiting for. Let me hold you accountable and be your cheerleader in this amazing journey of workshop design. And, best of all…

Let me share with you everything I know!

Let me mentor you in what I have learned and mastered from the successful creation and running of my workshops. I’ve mid-wifed workshops that have touched lives and garnered much media attention, and I’ve already had great success helping others design and implement their workshops. Let me help you!

It’s too much fun! Yes, it’s hard work at times, but working hard on something great is a total blast, especially when you’re not doing it alone or having to reinvent the wheel!

So that leaves just one question …

Do You Want To Experience the Sheer,
Unbridled Joy of Leading Your Own Workshops and
Touching People’s Lives?

If your answer is Yes!, then I invite you to hire me…

Participation in my 1-on-1 Mentoring Program requires an investment of $1997. That’s not a small sum of money, I know, but…

• • • I warned you it wouldn’t be cheap, and…
  • • It’s worth 10x that amount if you implement just HALF of what I’ll be teaching you.
  • • (And honestly, if you aren’t planning on designing and facilitating your own workshops then why are you still reading this copy?)

Read enough? Know this is right for you and want to work with me?
If so, CLICK HERE NOW to get started…

If not, keep reading because I’ve come up with a solution that will allow ANYONE to have access to mentoring with me on workshop design… even if you don’t think you can afford the $1997 investment.

Here are the details…

For a Limited Time, You Can Get Personalized
1-on-1 Mentoring From Me and Start Designing
and Running Your Own Workshops for
ONLY $397

I want to make something crystal clear right at the outset…

This is high-level training and mentoring and the investment I’m requiring reflects that. Seriously, as much as I love helping people design workshops that touch lives, I can’t afford to waste my time. I want to work with people who will actually run the workshops I help them design!

What’s the point of mentoring someone who’s never going to implement or run their workshops, right?

I’d be better off running my own workshops, but helping people put more quality workshops out into the world actually fulfills on my intention of helping as many people as I can live fulfilling lives. Helping you design awesome workshops expands my reach, but only if you’re someone who takes action and has the gumption to bring your talents out into the world and share them!

With that said, over this past year I’ve received many requests from facilitator newbies, other beginner workshop facilitators, and even several seasoned pros asking for alternative ways for me to make mentoring more affordable.

There’s a part of me that wants to say, “Look, my time and focus on you 1-on-1 is worth $1997 for six to twelve weeks, so, if you want it, please pay and let’s get started!”…

And while that part of me is logical and it might make better business sense to work only with those who can commit their money upfront, the much wiser and more sympathetic side of me says…

“Look, Reid, you know what it’s like to be a workshop leader who’s
barely making ends meet and you’ve had people who were kind enough and
generous enough to take a chance on you when Cuddle Party was
just getting started… So do the right thing!”

Well, it’s time for me to do the “right thing” and return the favor in a way that works for all of us, so I asked for advice from one of my business mentors (yes, I take my own medicine and make sure I have mentors for myself!). And guess what they said? They suggested a “subscription model” as a way to make this work for you and for me…So, at their behest, here’s what I’m doing…

If You’re Willing To Take a Chance On Me,
I’m Willing To Take a Chance On YOU and Finance
Your Training and Learning
for a Full 6 Months!

Ok, here’s the deal…

If you promise me that you’ll put my mentorship and training into actual use and allow yourself to experience all the amazing results I’ve touched on here, then I’m going to let you have access to working with me 1-on-1 for only $397 a month for 6 months.

That’s right. NOT $1997… just $397 TODAY is all it takes to get started.

You can take a full 6 months to pay me back, which leaves you with more than enough peace of mind, extra cash, and time to explode forward with your workshop design and implementation.

And I’ll make all this even better by fully guaranteeing your investment (as if the 6-month financing wasn’t “guarantee” enough…)

Whether you pay in full or let me finance your training for 6-months, here are my TWO guarantees…

Reid’s DOUBLE Guarantee!

At this point, I’ve lowered the barrier to working with me so much that if you still aren’t ready to say Yes, you really need to consider if creating and running workshops is really something that you want to do.

I can’t design your workshops for you, nor can I promise that you’ll be able to retire off the money your workshops generate. But I can promise that you’ll learn tons, you’ll get more than your money’s worth, and that I’ll make it as fun as I can! And I’ve taken my own advice and am implementing the advice of those who are mentoring me by offering to finance your training for a FULL 6 MONTHS so you can get started for only $397!

We both win: I get to put more amazing, high quality workshops and facilitators out into the world and you get to run a workshop of you own design! What could be better than that, right?

In the end, there will be people who see this opportunity, jump on it, give birth to their own workshop and are touching peoples lives within the next few months… And then there will be people who make excuses, procrastinate and, months from now, will still be attending workshops that others lead.

Don’t fall into the last group!
To paraphrase from Jerry McGuire… Help me help you!
And Let’s create workshops!
