Alright folks, let me spill the beans on this “coach new year dragon” thing I’ve been messing around with. It’s been a trip, let me tell ya.
So, it all started with this itch to do something different for the new year. You know, skip the usual resolutions and dive into something… scaly. The idea of a dragon-themed coaching program popped into my head, and I just ran with it. First thing I did was hit up the internet, just to see what kinda dragon stuff was already out there. Didn’t wanna reinvent the wheel, ya know?
I started brainstorming what this coaching would even be. I wasn’t about to teach people how to breathe fire. I thought, “What are dragons known for?” Power, wisdom, hoarding… wealth! Okay, scratch hoarding, but the other stuff felt like solid ground. So, I sketched out a rough framework: personal power, strategic thinking (dragon smarts!), and, maybe, achieving financial goals.
Next up, I needed a catchy name and some visuals. Spent way too long fiddling with fonts and dragon clip art. Ended up going with something simple and clean – “DragonRise Coaching.” I threw together a quick logo with a stylized dragon silhouette. Nothing fancy, just enough to look legit.
Then came the hard part: the actual coaching content. I broke it down into modules. Module one was all about identifying your “inner dragon” – strengths, weaknesses, the whole shebang. Used a bunch of personality quizzes and journaling prompts. Module two was strategy – how to set goals, plan your attack, and stay focused. Lots of project management techniques and time-blocking stuff in there. Module three? That was the “treasure” module – dealing with finances, investing, and building wealth. I’m no financial advisor, so I kept it pretty general – focusing on budgeting, saving, and avoiding debt.
To make it interactive, I set up a private online forum where participants could ask questions, share their progress, and cheer each other on. That’s where the real magic happened, honestly. People started connecting, sharing their wins (and struggles), and giving each other advice. It was like a dragon support group!
I ran a beta test with a small group of friends and family. The feedback was mixed, but super helpful. Some people loved the dragon theme, others thought it was a bit cheesy. I tweaked the content based on their comments, added more practical exercises, and toned down the dragon references (just a little!).
Launched the official “DragonRise Coaching” program a few weeks before the new year. Got a few sign-ups, not a ton, but enough to keep me motivated. I’m still refining the program as I go, learning from my participants, and adding new content based on their needs. It’s definitely a work in progress, but I’m having a blast with it. Who knew coaching could be so… draconic?
