I love the fact that I was able to have a practice partner that I was able to gain experience with. I love the fact that I was able to go at my own pace and it was set up for us to succeed. The material and lessons was a lot of good info to learn. It was a lot to learn but it was good because it was all useful info that I can always apply to real life experience and it was helpful to learn with my partner. Another thing that is so good is that even when your done and pass, you can always go back to the material of everything you learn and practice and also you get access to a coach to help you through... Thank you I had a really good experienced it was well worth it 😊

A complete and comprehensive coaching course

The course is well paced weather you are working full time or have a family or both. The course is concise and covers so many aspects of coaching on many different topics and personalities. I have been a health coach for 14 years and this is exactly what I was looking for to sharpen and upgrade my skills as a coach. So far I have only accomplished pillars 1 and 2 and cant wait what pillar 3 is bringing.
The coaching zone experiences are such a great bonus to bring it all to live! I find this course very complete and comprehensive! Definitely worth the investment so far.

Fantastic experience!!

What made my experience great was, that our mentors walked us through the processes step by step. The "Done-for-You" scripts are excellent for a beginner. I learned so much about coaching and myself.

I love everything about this program

I love everything about this program. I anticipate Friday evening every week to get new material, take a peak and dive in first thing Saturday morning. The videos, the scripts, the tools, and the skills labs are all valuable.

So, even if, I failed to get pay 💰 Client because of racial unawareness of the need to get, use or pay for Health and Life Coach? My experience Super worth the investment I made to become a health and life Coach for Me 💥 lol 😂
I hope 🤞 the above ☝️ review nails 💅 it albeit so amateur lol 😂

A lot of good info but definitely some things I wish had been different

There was a lot of information and handouts and scripts and for that I appreciate it. But I can’t help but feel a little duped that we aren’t credentialed afterward by any sort of coaching body. The program is ICF accredited but we are not as coaches. So the program doesn’t set you up to do anything but work for yourself which I didn’t truly realize. I also didn’t realize I would never be formally evaluated by anyone. A lot of good info but definitely some things I wish had been different.
