The week-long training will be life-changing for you personally. It's designed to be that way… Very practical, hands-on, and focused on personal breakthroughs and acquiring the skills of a highly effective life coach. Some of the key areas covered in the program are:

Building an Outstanding Coaching Relationship

Masterful coaching comes from the heart. One of the keys to becoming an amazing life coach is to understand how to create and nurture your relationship with your clients. If you are already trained as a therapist or health practitioner, then this is a great opportunity to extend your current skill set. You will be able to offer new services to your clients. You will also be able to attract many new clients. In fact, whatever it is you do currently, just learning about this one key area of human change and potential, will make you more effective at what you do.

Defining and Crafting Success

Every individual person is unique. We all say things like "I want to be successful" or "I want to be happy". The truth is, what makes one person happy and successful may be hugely different from somebody else. One of the core skills in coaching is to help clients create their own personal life vision. You will literally be able to change people's lives by allowing them to build compelling goals and outcomes for themselves. There is a whole art and science to this, which you will master.

As well as the teaching, we will provide you with all of the planning tools, documents and resources you need to create breakthrough coaching sessions with your clients.

You will also learn how to work with clients to uncover their hidden personal strengths. One of the key philosophies to our style of coaching is the focus on helping clients have rapid and significant breakthroughs and epiphanies. The easiest way to do this is to utilise the hidden assets and resources clients have immediately available to them. They will not have experienced this kind of empowering process before. We will give you all the tools and skills you need to become truly competent with this process.

Breakthrough Coaching and the Concept of a "Perfect Life"

The true power of the coaching process is that it works not on what is "broken", but what is possible.

At the end of the 5 days' training, you will have your certification, and you will be able to confidently help clients to:

• Break out of their current constraints and overcome all obstacles
• Find the motivation and resources they need each step of the way
• Enjoy a powerful journey of self-discovery and personal growth. You'll understand how to create a balance between giving clients the support and help they need, yet also allowing them to find their own wings
• Redefine just what is possible for them. One of the great things about coaching is that the initial goals and objectives for the relationship change and expand throughout the process. Working with clients on this level, is truly one of the most rewarding things you will ever do in life.
• Help them make "unconscious breakthroughs". Much of your client's success will come down to how they harness the power of their subconscious… their imagination… their creative mind. The vast majority of life coaching training fails to utilise this aspect of personal optimisation. It is a significant point of difference with our training organisation.
