What Our Students Are Saying
Kathleen Duffy
I learned some new tips in addition to many good reminders of effective coaching techniques. I also found the handouts to be very useful and will use going forward with my coaching clients. I always find it interesting how even "seasoned" coaches can always benefit from programs like this [Coaching Mastery Series] and use the information and experience to reinvigorate their own coaching.
Julie Buck
This course [Group Coaching Facilitation for Health & Wellness Professionals] had great info and I feel more confident in creating and facilitating groups for coaching. I liked that there were separate modules to break topics up.
Meghan McHale
This [Coaching Mastery Series] was a VERY helpful and enjoyable course! I really learned a lot from listening to the peer coaching sessions. I think one of my favorite things about them was how they would use the learned skill from the module but the sessions were not perfect, which made it relatable to being a coach. Those stuck moments were good learning moments and something every coach experiences. I took something away from each module, like how to make referrals and helping unfocused clients. It was helpful listening to the content as well as the coaches coaching each other. I really gained a lot of insight on their coaching styles and how they applied the skills learned.
