Year Three

Lower price, broader discounts, selective high-value access

We are moving away from packing the EC Collective calendar with event after event. Instead, we are substantially lowering the membership price and rewarding members with something more flexible: discounted access across the entire Embrace Change ecosystem.

You stay connected to EC. You keep access to the Vault. And when a workshop, product, coaching session, Salon, or new opportunity speaks directly to what you need, you receive special access and the member rate.

No pressure to attend anything. No guilt about another unfinished program. Use the Collective when you need it.

Small room. Serious conversation.

The EC Salons are intimate, high-level conversations with Cynthia and other independent service providers who are actively earning, building, and adapting, not simply talking about it online.

Each Salon will feature Cynthia and two experienced operators. These are not beginner webinars. The content is built for people who already have something in motion in their career and want to understand how experienced BIPOC are earning more now.

How member access works:

  • Five live seats at every Salon are reserved for EC Collective members at no additional cost.

  • All remaining seats will be sold publicly for $49.

  • Because the rooms are intentionally small, complimentary member seats are limited and require advance registration.

  • Live attendees receive access to the Salon replay. Membership alone does not include the replay.

Topics include

Revenue

How service providers are making money online now

Access

Fractional work: what it is and how to get it

Systems

The systems behind a sustainable consulting business

Positioning

The ins and outs of Board service

Diversifying

Turning expertise into a second source of income

Reservation required.

You don’t always need a full-blown program.

Sometimes all you need is one focused conversation with a skilled coach who can help you see the situation more clearly and decide what to do next.

EC Collective members can book one-off coaching sessions for $99 each with graduates of the Embrace Change Coaching Certification program.

ECCC is an ICF Level 1 Accredited coach-training program specifically centered on BIPOC coaches working with BIPOC clients. Graduates receive rigorous coaching education and earn a coaching certification from Embrace Change.Learn more about ECCC.

No package required. No long-term coaching commitment.

The sessions are purchased separately and are available exclusively to EC Collective members.

The Vault is still yours.

The EC Vault remains completely exclusive to EC Collective members.

Inside, you’ll find the existing library of EC trainings, workshop recordings, templates, tools, guides, and practical resources housed in UpCoach.

Browse it when you need something. Ignore it when you do not.

There is no curriculum to complete and no obligation to consume everything. It is there to help when a specific challenge, decision, or opportunity arises.

I didn't ask for a promotion. I presented it to them. I was able to get a bump in my salary and also my title.
