The Charged Writer

The Charged Writer Group Coaching sessions is the next step toward High Performance after you have completed the High-Performance Writer Group Coaching Program. The Charged Writer sessions are based on Brendon Burchard’s book, The Charge.

Course Content

In these 12 sessions, you’ll examine what makes you feel the most alive and fulfilled. These sessions will help you master your internal world so that you can better direct your thoughts, feelings and behaviors.

You’ll learn the 10 human drives framework. In high performance work, we often discuss what drives your desire and behavior. So in these sessions, we’ll discuss these areas and see what habits are supporting or hurting your progress and performance. You’ll explore each drive in depth.

The 10 human drives include:

Control
Competence
Congruence

Caring
Connection

Change
Challenge
Creative Expression

Contribution
Consciousness

Also you will learn about the caged, comfortable and charged lives, and you will assess which type of life you live—and weekly move closer to the charged life (or a more charged life), which also charges up your writing.

In HP we talk about three kinds of life, and depending where you are in that spectrum, you’re going to have a different quality of life. If you’re on one side of the spectrum you’ll often be miserable and suffering, struggling and upset all the time. Whereas, if you’re on the opposite side, you’re fully engaged, energized and enthusiastic, and knowing where we are on this spectrum can completely change your life, because you can make a decision about what type of life you want to live.

Praise from Past Participants

The High-Performance Writer Group Coaching Program was just what I needed to get out the mud and reconnect with my identity and purpose. It was so nice to come out of that program with complete clarity around my intentions and what projects I was committed to moving forward. If High-Performance Writer gave me the WHO I was and WHERE I was in terms of a sense of direction, The Charged Writer Group Coaching Program kept my foot on the gas, showed me where I was still not quite unlocking the handbrake, and gave me the WHY I was doing this, the HOW it needed to come together, and the WHAT that needed to keep happening day in and day out to fully actualize the vision that was shown to me in High-Performance Writer. At the end of High-Performance Writer, I asked Nina to tell me where to go next, and she confirmed that The Charged Writer would be the right place to keep the momentum going. It's done that in spades. Moreover, I believe that without the program, I wouldn't have really been able to keep going with the same level of velocity and impact to achieve some pretty cool results. For example, look for my book Realize Your Big Screen Dream: What Authors Need to Know About Bringing Books to Film and Television, which is available for pre-sale on Amazon and will be released in November 2017 and the book I co-wrote with my client, FMP Steel Buildings, titled Pre-Fabricated Steel and Metal Buildings: From DIY to Erector Services and Design-Build, which is also for pre-sale on Amazon and will be released at the end of October 2017. I am kicking off a crowdfunding campaign for the independent feature film "Boulder Buddz" that I am producing; that project will be completed in 2018. I've added 500 people to my mailing list with a webinar series, which was designed to seed the crowdfunding list. And let me not forget to mention I got a new contract writing job between High-Performance Writer and The Charged Writer that literally tripled my income.

--Philippa Burgess

Taking Nina's High-Performance Writer and Charged Writer Group Coaching Programs was one of the best decisions I've made in a long time. I love the sessions, and I appreciate that Nina is nonjudgmental, supportive and caring. I always feel comfortable participating in class and my writing has benefited. Despite being an aspiring writer, when I first started the High-Performance Writer program, I was not writing. By the second week I was. With Nina's encouragement during The Charged Writer program, I started writing at least 700 words a day. Writing became easy, and I was focused on set goals. I had the energy and desire to write. And I haven't stopped!

--Debra Rubin

Anyone looking to jump-start a writing project or get a stalled one back on track should check out Nina Amir's books, writing conference sessions and training or coaching programs. Her How to Blog a Book was my first taste of practical steps needed to get from an idea and a bunch of text to a professional finished product. Her coaching series, High-Performance Writer and Charged Writer, has helped me with focus and motivational tools to navigate an unfamiliar landscape. My project has moved from manuscript toward finished product. Nina has a deserved reputation for offering advice and information that is immediately useful. In a writing culture saturated with experts offering obscure wisdom, Nina is a refreshing departure.
