Work with Experienced Coaches and Business Owners

Work with Expert Coaches in 3 Key Areas

Goal Setting with Caroline Guntur

We kick off in January with visioning and goal setting, so that everyone is clear on what they would like to accomplish during the year’s masterclass. Caroline will use a business assessment exercise to help each participant identify where the most ROI lies based on their unique situation, so that we start off on the right foot with clear priorities. Throughout the month, Caroline will coach on practical steps for how to make goals a reality as well as how to make and measure progress in any project you take on, while still moving towards better work-life balance.

Profitability with Darla DeMorrow

This is the time to learn or, if you’ve been in business for years, tighten up your understanding of what activities are returning a profit and which are just keeping you busy. You should be able to draw a clear line between Masterclass and your financial success. This is a safe place to ask questions, challenge the status quo, and learn how to be the business executive you are meant to be.

Here's What Masterclass Graduates Are Saying

Hear Directly from Program Graduates

I enjoyed Masterclass so much I took it twice! The learning and development is unparalleled – and the in-person meeting at conference was fantastic. I have a cohort of wonderful professionals I can reach out to for advice, and I’m happy to reciprocate. This level of experience is only something you can get only in Masterclass and I started applying much of what I learned in class immediately…and my business is better for it already!

Marci Brennan

Past Present Pix

Masterclass was more than just a couple of coaching sessions. For me it was the beginning of a beautiful relationship with like-minded people that have become like family. We celebrate each other’s wins, console each other through the lows and lift each other back up, hold each other accountable and continue to work on ways to learn and grow together. Running a business by yourself is lonely. I don’t feel alone anymore.

“While hesitant at spending the money for Masterclass so early on in my business, I can say it was money very well spent. The instructors were great and I thought the pace was perfect. In our class, everyone was at a different stage of their business but that made it all the better to learn from one another. Having connections before going to my first conference made the experience immeasurably better. I highly recommend Masterclass!”

Ellen Oberhart

“Masterclass really helped me clarify what I want to do with my business and where I’m headed. It gave me people who are serious about their businesses as well and just as willing to be helpful in problem-solving. I’m not alone!”
