How much does it cost?

You’ve gotten this far so you’re interested. Or you’re trying to find a reason not to be. (I see you.)

“If the price is too high, I’ll know I would if I could, but I can’t.”


”If the price is too low, I’ll know it’s too good to be true.”

I’m not letting you put up a roadblock to your success that easy. When you decide your long-term career success and personal fulfillment are worth continued investment, fill out the simple form and I’ll reply directly with details.

What I’ll tell you now is that my peers think I’m crazy for pricing a 16-week program with one-on-one coaching so low. They’re probably right, but that’s how much I want to see the future of our profession succeed.

The only problem I see is the accelerator filling up too quickly. If you’re interested, don’t wait too long to initiate a conversation.

 FAQs

  • PR Pro Accelerator is 16 weeks long, the same as the fall semester for most U.S. universities. As a college graduate, you’ve likely operated on a traditional school calendar for at least 16 years. The familiar semester schedule and defined support will help you transition into your new normal.

  • Those who have graduated from college with a PR, communications or related degree in the last six months are ideal accelerator members, whether they have a job in their career field or are looking for one.

  • While every situation is different, most employers will applaud your self-awareness, initiative and the desire to be a top performer you demonstrate with your interest in PR Pro Accelerator. Some employers may even help cover the cost. If not, they may allow you to have coaching calls during company time. You’ll want to be intentional about how you approach the conversation which is something we will assist registered members with.

  • Yes, PR Pro Accelerator is a thoughtful gift for a recent grad. It is something that will pay off for many years by giving them a solid foundation and unbiased support system during a transition many find difficult.

  • Those who pay for the course in full receive a discount. Current PRSSA or PRSA members also receive a discount.

  • Registration is open now and will close when full. Your registration is confirmed when your application is selected and you complete the down payment.

  • The agenda is developed using a co-creative method and driven by the individual or the group being coached. Typical agendas relate to a current situation, a goal, a roadblock, an idea, prioritization, or something else that needs to be talked through, reframed, or goaled. Coaching is not therapy. We do not diagnose, treat or spend time looking back. Instead, we focus on personal accountability, growth and opportunity.

  • Business coaches rarely publish their rates online. Coaching isn’t a flash sale or an impulse purchase. It’s an investment in yourself for people who have realized the cost of not doing so is greater than the cost of doing so. You’ll invest hundreds this year without blinking on coffee runs, rideshares, subscriptions, nights out and bachelorette trips. Those things help you enjoy the moment. This will help you love your job now and in the future. When you’re ready to take the next step, fill out the form on this page for the price.
