It's graduation season at The Coaching Guild! This group of graduating students is remarkable. You'll hear me bragging about them a lot in the coming weeks. They are bold, masterful, and beautifully human. They kind of restored my faith in what coaching can be.

This is the third group to navigate through The Coaching Guild. Groups four and five are still in the pipeline, and we are enrolling students for group six now.

As the group three students complete their panel interviews, which is the final certification requirement, we will graduate them individually. Each of them is probably a better coach than I am in many ways.

This group has had almost two full years of training. We worked the curriculum at a measured pace to keep the group together. One of the many benefits of small group training is we can do what works best for everyone involved regarding the schedule and a myriad of other things.

These students have put in probably 700 hours of call, study, and homework time.

They have trained in:

Foundational Coaching Skills

Active self-love and self-worth

Science-based Deliberate Creation Principals

Working with belief systems and helping clients break limiting beliefs

Identify Shifting

Brain Science

Behavioral Science

Emotional literacy

Trauma Response and Decoding Triggers

Understanding Mental Health in the Coaching Process

Coaching Ethics

Understanding Sexual Identity and Gender Identity

Cultural Competency

Compassion Fatigue

Business Basics and Practice Management

Your identity as a coach

Setting Your Life Up to Support Your Success

Organic Marketing and Client Acquisition

And A LOT more.

They have spent more than fifty hours training with various experts who are the best of the best in their respective fields. They have also done at least one university course on positive psychology - which has exactly nothing to do with toxic positivity and spiritual bypassing.

Most of these students have had paying clients on the books long before graduating. Many of these students thought seriously about quitting at least once during the process. In fact, at the current average between all the classes, just over 40% of the students who start will NOT finish.

The commitment is real. Money is the least significant thing they invest.

The commitment of time and energy is the big spend. All of the students in the program have jobs and real-world other responsibilities they navigate while they are training.

These students are:

Brilliant

Determined

Engaged

Diverse

Deeply soulful

Most of all, they are ready to coach, and each of them is very, very good at what they do. I know this because I have heard them coach, and they are exceptional.

My goal for all of our coaches is that when you see them out and about doing their coaching thing, you will have no idea they were Coaching Guild Students. I want them to shine in their uniqueness, rocking their own genius backed up by the skills they learned in our program.

This group of graduating coaches will have no trouble doing just that. They all came in genius and are leaving with that genius intact, fortified by more confidence. They aren't trained to be cookie-cutter approach coaches on any level. They are fabulous and highly unique in their approaches and philosophies, and they are the real deal in their individuality. This program celebrates that.



The Coaching Guild trains rebels, misfits, artists, and creatives. We work with the wild ones who will make a difference on their own terms.  If you are a good trouble-maker, who wants to change the world, one client at a time, check us out.
