Dates, location, and delivery of the program:

Holistic Coach Certification Program 3-Step Weekly Learning Process:
There are 3-Steps implemented each week throughout the 6 month program to support you in
mastery of the coaching skill set.

● Step 1: Each week there is a video lesson delivered via The Holistic Coach Training Institute Learning Portal. Each video lesson includes a printable worksheet to assist you with taking notes and brainstorming how you will apply the lesson to your own coaching.The learning portal is available 24/7 so the lessons can be viewed at your convenience.

● Step 2: Each week you will collaborate with a partner from the cohort to put the skills that you learned from the lesson into practice. You will meet with your partner over the phone for one hour each week based on your individual schedules. Each partner practices being in the role of coach for 30 minutes then in the role of client for 30 minutes. You can apply your coaching practice hours towards obtaining your credential.

● Step 3: Each week we meet via ZOOM for a live 2 hour training where we review the weekly lesson, engage in a group discussion, answer questions, and listen to two recorded coaching practice calls with live mentorship feedback. Listening to peers practice coaching and receive constructive feedback will support you in having new awareness and developing your own coaching skills.

Engaging the weekly video lessons with worksheets, coaching with your practice partner, and receiving live coach training is a comprehensive approach to developing your coaching skills that will prepare you for greater long-term success with your coaching business. There is also a private Linkedin group created for each cohort where students can interact, network, share, receive course content, and get updates.
