This is a kind, loving space. The people I met through it are amazing. If I needed a new client they would help me find one. Because of these connections, I don't have to figure it all out alone.
This program made it possible for me to set up a whole new career path for myself doing exactly what I want to do: helping other people realize their greatest potential.
This was deeper than any program I've done before. It changed me. The purpose statement I created in the program is now my north star. It keeps bringing me back to where I'm supposed to be.

What I did not expect was how much the live seminars mattered. You can watch videos anywhere; you cannot get a faculty member to stop you mid-session and show you where you lost the client. Everything is in one place on the platform, the recordings post the same day, and the community actually answers. I would do it again.
I came in burned out and not sure who I was outside my job title. The first part of the program is about you before it is about coaching anyone else, and that is what changed things for me. By the practicum I was coaching real people with a mentor watching, and the feedback was kind and specific. Twenty-one weeks later I had two credentials and, more importantly, a practice.
I enrolled right after a webinar and worried it was a rash decision. It wasn't. The Health Competency sessions with Dr. Sheila are worth the tuition on their own, and the mentor coaching sessions gave me the confidence to say I am a coach out loud.
