FNC Role and Responsibilities

Coaches Role

  • To work as part of the Dr. Ritamarie team
  • To help guide the members through the ERC program
  • To help the ERC members along the journey using their Unstoppable Health Roadmap
  • To create, along with the ERC member, their lifestyle plan for the next year
  • To support the ERC member’s progress with the program and keep them motivated
  • To help answer questions and find out answers to those you don’t know
  • To be a liaison between the ERC member and Dr. Ritamarie

It is important that you set the boundaries at the beginning of the coaching year so your client understands what to expect from you.  This will be respectful for their time as well as your time.

Coaches Responsibilities

  • Complete a “Private Comprehensive Initial Consultation” with each Silver ERC member in your group (75 – 90-minute call).  ERC members should complete their “Getting to Know You” assessment form before this call. The completed form will be forwarded to you by Lynn.
  • Complete a “Report of Findings” call with each Silver member in your group (45-60 minutes)
  • Conduct monthly group coaching calls spread throughout the year (90 minutes).
  • Read and respond to the “Weekly Online Progress Journal” for each member in your group – at most 5 minutes per person, usually much less. Each of your ERC group members is responsible for adding your email address to the completed form, or forwarding his/her journal to you via e-mail.
  • Open ERC modules as you think best suits the needs and pace of each member in your group. Use the same webform you use to track appointments to open programs/modules.  Note that only ERC Elite members get access to those programs marked as Elite-Only.
  • Encourage communication between group members via Facebook group or e-mail. https://www.facebook.com/groups/ERCInnerCircle/
  • Lead at least one FNC Office Hours call for ERC members throughout the year to answer questions and provide coaching to anyone in the ERC program. These times should be scheduled at the beginning of the year, but can be adjusted as needed. Sign up here.
  • Attend the monthly FNC Leaders Meeting call with Dr. Ritamarie to check-in, discuss your clients’ progress, and get mentoring and advice from Dr. Ritamarie. These calls will be listed on the INE schedule page under NEPT calls. Dr. Ritamarie gets to better know our ERC participants through her interactions with you, so please attend as often as possible. We need you to attend  at least 10 out of 12 calls.
    • Before each call, please complete this form for each client to give Dr. Ritamarie a detailed accounting of your group members’ progress, any challenges they may face, and what, if any, additional support they need.  https://goo.gl/forms/hSmY1AlfMjh54NtL2.
    • If you are unable to attend the FNC meeting, please notify us in advance on the FNC Facebook group, and  make sure the form is completed.
    • If you will be late or need to leave early, please notify us as well.
  • Complete the tracking forms after each call.  See details and images below in detailed sections on conducting calls.
  • Become familiar with the ERC membership site and the Dr. Ritamarie programs available to ERC members, so that you can guide members through the materials. See the ‘Opening Modules/Programs Included in ERC’ page  for details.
