As a business and branding coach for the past 12 years (who's dabbled in money coaching, nutrition, speaker coaching and more), I kept coming up against my own barriers.

Anything I set my mind to, I could accomplish. People have called me "Jill of all trades" for YEARS, but I HATED it, because the saying traditionally ends with "master of none." BOOOOO.

As a recovering A-type (A in this case stands for ANAL), doing well at something was never enough. I had to EXCEL at everything. I was a perfectionist.

So what do I mean by "barriers"? In every endeavour, I've MAXED OUT. I've given my everything. Time, energy, money, more time, more money...you get the picture. And did I find success doing that? Depends how you define "success". Did I make money? YES. Lots of it.  Was I happy? No. In fact, the more money I made, the worse my health and relationships were. Yikes!

I didn't want a business that mades lots of money but sacrificed my ability to be an effective wife or mother. I didn't want to hide my spirituality. I wanted to unleash my creativity.

It took me 12 years to figure out what I was; a) good at, b) enjoyed doing, c) able to sell (market demand), and d) holistically aligned in!

Every issue I had in my business had everything to do with my lack of clarity about who I AM.

Enter:  i  a m - Identity Alignment Model.

A system to deeply connect with yourself so that you can show THAT to the world. 

A program that will bust the roof off that box you feel confined to. To FINALLY be the biggest, truest version of yourself, and make COIN doing it.

It's not just a training to learn branding, it's a turn-key system you can implement IMMEDIATELY to add value AND revenue to your existing business, or a stand-alone framework of resources and support to launch your own branding business.

My name is Ash, and I'm the channel behind the  i  a m  program. I say channel, because it wasn't my idea, but something God planted in my heart around this time last year.

But truthfully, I've always known I was meant for something much bigger than myself. From a young age, I had visions of being on television, authoring books, travelling the world and speaking at large events. My first real vision of "fame" was from age 6, when I saw the adult version of me being interviewed by Oprah Winfrey.

Even then I knew that "fame" wasn't really the point. It wasn't about being a billionaire, but having a global impact. There was a message I was supposed to share, but I had no idea what that message was (yet).

Fast forward to today. I'm 12 years into my career as an entrepreneur, and it's been everything but

sunshines and rainbows. To say it was a challenging journey would be an understatement, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. Every obstacle, hurdle and set back was a SET UP for my eventual success. One where I can finally be myself and thrive in all areas, not just in business.

I'm here for one simple (but MASSIVE) reason: to remind people how amazing they are, help them reconnect back to who God intended them to be, and teach them how to leverage their divine quirks through soul-aligned brands and businesses.

Are you ready to equip yourself with the most DEEP and POWERFUL brand identity training program on the planet?
LET'S DO THIS!
f r e q u e n t l y    a s k e d    q u e s t i o n s
Do I need to have a business or business idea in order to participate? No! In fact, the sooner you learn the fundamentals behind the Identity Alignment Model, the better. You'll have the advantage of starting out on the right foot versus re-doing everything after the fact.

Is the training primarily for online businesses? Yes. Having said that, I believe offline businesses would benefit greatly from learning about the online business space so they can expand their reach (and their revenue) through what I teach.

What if I can't attend the live training calls? No problem. Every call will be recorded and uploaded for you to review at your convenience. However, all assignments are due September 5, 2019.

What is the investment for this program? $22/month CAD. Since this is the first time I'm training others on the Identity Alignment Model, I'm offering a low-end membership subscription as I work out any potential kinks and perfect the content. Once the program is complete, it will be packaged and automated for a one-time enrolment of $555 CAD.

What if I need to cancel or drop out early? No problem. I've never been a fan of contracts, so  you can opt out at any time. Simply login to your Paypal account and follow these instructions to cancel. If you need further support, please email my assistant at admin@ashahern.com. Upon cancellation, you will be removed from the Facebook group and will no longer have access to the training materials.

How do I become a certified  i  a m  practitioner? At the end of the program there will be a 6-week evaluation period where we will guide and support you in the implementation of the system with your clients (if you choose) and an 8-week follow-up support period. A minimum of 20 recorded hours will need to be fulfilled where you actively work with clients, along with all assignments from the program. The i  a m  team will audit your work and issue you a certificate of completion if you meet the criteria. You will be coached and guided in this process.

Is there any additional investment associated with getting certified? Yes. The training program itself is $22/month CAD, which includes the review and follow-up support period. The certification process itself will be $2,000 CAD, with an ongoing licensing fee of $22/month CAD. This allows you full use of the 
 i  a m marketing, lead generation and brand rights.

Do I need to get certified to use the system? No. Once you've learned the system and wish to use it in your business or with clients, you are free and welcome to use and modify as you desire. You may choose to license the i  a m brand for ongoing support and brand rights from  i  a m  without certification. Leads, however, will only be distributed to certified  i  a m practitioners. 

What are the benefits to certification? Put simply, having a credential when you're starting a business is a huge confidence builder, both in those who hold the certification and those looking to hire a coach or designer. Second to that is the ongoing support, brand rights and leads that come with being a certified  i  a m practitioner. Our end goal is to create a thriving team of coaches and designers that we can trust to service our clients. 

Do I need to have Photoshop or Illustrator to take this program? No. There will be advanced teachings on Photoshop and Adobe Creative Cloud, but they are optional. We will be teaching you how to use simple applications to accomplish beautiful work.

Do I need a laptop or desktop computer to take this program? You can login to training calls with your mobile device, but the assignments will require a laptop or desktop computer.

How many hours of homework should I plan for? I get it. We're all busy people. I won't be issuing assignments that will take longer than 1-2 hours a week, TOPS.
