Most nonprofit consultants and coaches use the high-jump.
When you use the high-jump, they’re only just clearing the bar—if that.
On the next turn, the bar’s a little higher and it’s only just cleared—again.
That’s most nonprofit coaches. There’s a clear goal—or “need”—but it’s right there. No higher.
The problem?
It’s a low, incremental goal. Scaling becomes almost impossible
Instead of high–think long
Eight Principles Coaches use the long jump.
With the long jump, you leap as far as possible every time you run.
There’s no limit other than the one you set for yourself.
This is how successful coaches generate huge, permanent revenue growth.
With the Long Jump, You Create Leverage.
When You Become an Eight Principles Coach You Make the Leap Like Nothing Else.

Click for the Answers to Your Questions
I’m a consultant who’s a one-person shop. Will being and Eight Principles coach and using the tools and training enable me to manage more clients concurrently and keep them longer?
Yes. Our tools and training platforms are specifically designed to quickly prepare clients to receive your best work. In doing so, you’re spending far less time hand-holding and much more delivering your expertise. Thus, you’re able to handle more concurrent clients. You also become your clients’ trusted advisor thereby retaining your clients far longer.
I have considerable experience in fundraising. Can I use my experiences and examples with The Eight Principles teaching materials or do I have to use them lock-step as delivered?
The beauty of The Eight Principles curricular materials is their high-level of flexibility and adaptability. When you maintain the fidelity to the Principles, you can insert your own experiences and re-arrange materials as it suits the particular situation. The Eight Principles tools are ideal for the seasoned veteran.
Is the Coach Certification for an individual?
Certification is for an individual. If you’re in a consulting firm that desires more than one Coach, The Eight Principles will provide an enterprise solution for you with reduced training and maintenance fees per coach.
I’m in marketing and communication . I am considering focusing more on fundraising. Will becoming an Eight Principles Coach help me be successful?
Yes. The beauty of Eight Principles training and tools is their straightforward presentation and use. Sophisticated and nuanced yet straightforward in application.
The fundraising training that’s out there all seems the same. How is Eight Principles training different from other fundraising training?
Eight Principles Training is unique in three ways.
First, it works to transform dysfunctional mindsets which severely limit fundraising success. Second, it’s created for adults. The training actively engages every participant. In the live sessions, participants work in small groups, not sitting passively classroom style. They use all five learning modes: visual, kinetic, written, aural, group participation. They’re action based and goal oriented. Third, they’re suitable for everyone in an organization–from the most senior board member to the most junior staff person.
What’s The Eight Principles Way™ Execution System? How does it work?
The Eight Principles Way™ execution system is a customized platform using Ninety.io which enables you to track and administer effectively the various pieces of a relational fundraising program. Specifically, it allows you to:
- Promote Your Vision–move forward as a team by clarifying, refining, documenting and then sharing your organization’s compelling vision
- Organize, Align, Share–end miscommunications and misalignments by seemlessly sharing knowledge, resources and data
- Elevate Accountability–Create a culture of trust and accountability by unifying teams into one platform
- Capture Core Data–Gain clear lines of sight into individual worlds with a readily-accessible hub that promotes sharing information and communication
- Save Time–Reduce the hours you waste on boring, unproductive meetings and tracking down lost information
- Boost Productivity–Give everyone the tools they need to get work done in less time with less frustration
Is there a ‘network’ of Coaches? A group where professionals can share information and experiences?
Yes. When you become a coach, you’re “wired in.” with a network of your peers.
I don’t live in the United States. How can I participate in The Eight Principles training and certification process?
Currently Eight Principles live training and coaching training is available in the US and in India. Contact us HERE for information on availability in your area.
Is certification as an Eight Principles facilitator permanent?
Once you’ve obtained certification, you remain active as long as you remit your ongoing licensing fee. The fee enables you to continue both your access to the full portfolio of training and tools as well as your membership in the exclusive Coach Community. If you allow your certification to lapse, and wish to reinstate it, you’ll need to contact us for the procedure. You’re encouraged to participate in facilitator conferences and work groups to maintain and enhance your skill. In order to use The Eight Principles curriculum with clients you will need to have an active use license. Licenses are for either one or three year terms.
What sort of support from Eight Principles is available?
We want you to succeed. Eight Principles Coaches with current certifications are invited to quarterly active support calls. If you’re having a particular challenge, help is only an email or phone call away.
What does an Eight Principles Facilitator license cost? Do I receive a credit if I am already an Eight Principles member or Certified Practitioner?
Eight Principles Coach Certification is priced as an initial training and certification fee and monthly maintenance fee thereafter to remain active. If you are already an Eight Principles member or Certified Practitioner in good standing, the initial fee is reduced by the training fees you’ve already paid.
Initial training fee is $4,495 in the United States with a monthly $495 licensing fee thereafter. The initial fee may also be paid in installments. For pricing in India and Asia, please contact us at info@TheEightPrinciples.com . Current Five Step Plan members and Certified Practitioners are credited with fees already paid.
