As you may know, I’m riding the Echelon Gran Fondo 100-mile ride on September 26^th in support of the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute and LIVESTRONG.  One very generous donation that I’ve received is ten hours of executive coaching to pass along to you – the other donors who support my fundraising efforts for these worthy causes.  The donation comes from one of my mentors, TV Srinivasan.  I’ve known TV for over 10 years, going back to his days as a business leader at DuPont.  Over the last two years, as he has moved into executive coaching, TV has been my mentor.  Working with TV, I’ve been able to better balance the priorities of family and work, to more effectively set realistic but aggressive goals for my professional and personal life, and to better manage my stress level.  TV’s widely varied business experience, working across cultures and building partnerships gives him an incredible wealth of knowledge from which to draw when coaching.  For more on TV, check out his credentials at LinkedIn.

How you can win executive coaching

There are two ways you can win one (or more!) of the ten hours of coaching:

1. Purchase an hour!  Five of the ten hours are set aside for outright purchase.  All you have to do is:

• Make a $100 donation at my Echelon Gran Fondo fundraising page.
• Then e-mail me at mike.goodner@gmail.com with “Gran Fondo” in the subject line and indicating that your donation is going toward the Executive Coaching giveaway.

At that point, if you’re one of the first five donors at the $100 level, I’ll put you in touch with TV to arrange for your coaching.  And yes, if you donate at the $200 level, you can purchase 2 hours, $300 for 3 hours, etc.  Once the five hours are sold out, I will post an update at the page stating so.

2. Enter a raffle!  Five of the ten hours are in a raffle pool.  To enter the raffle:

• Make a $50 donation at my Echelon Gran Fondo fundraising page.
• Then e-mail me at mike.goodner@gmail.com with “Gran Fondo” in the subject line and indicating that your donation is going toward the Executive Coaching giveaway.

At that point, you’re in the raffle.  The raffle will end Sunday, September 12^th at noon Pacific Daylight Time… with one caveat.  We need to have at least 15 entries in the raffle to close out the raffle and select the winners using the list randomizer at Random.org.  So forward this to your friends and colleagues to ensure we have enough entries to move forward with the raffle!  And yes, you can enter the raffle multiple times to give yourself multiple chances to win.

Once you’ve won an hour of coaching, you and TV can arrange how to utilize your hour: a single one-hour session, two thirty-minute sessions, three twenty-minute sessions or some other arrangement.  Just keep in mind that with TV in India, most US clients find it convenient to set up morning or evening appointments with TV, in which he will call you.

Good luck!

I’ve benefitted greatly from TV’s coaching, so I congratulate those of you pursuing these coaching hours.  And keep in mind, you don’t have to want executive coaching to make a donation toward the Knight Cancer Institute and LIVESTRONG – just make a donation at my fundraising page and know that you’ve benefiting a pair of great causes!
