HCCP Advanced Students Learn To Coach The "Whole Person" Including The "Who" And The "What"

Per the International Coaching Federation, “The who” or “whole person” refers to the client as a human being and could be understood as the client’s internal way of being. For example, when or how the client shows up in their world as a unique human being, informed by their context, identity, environment, experiences, values, beliefs, culture, self-expression, perceptions, gender, nationality, age, ethnicity, spiritual beliefs, etc. that influences or guides the way they: • Think • Create • Relate • Learn • Feel • Value • View their world • Choose to “be” in the world.

In Holistic Coaching, we consider this to be supporting Clients with self-realization. The realization of “who” they are.

Per the International Coaching Federation, “The what” refers to the client’s external way of doing. This could include the client’s: • Goals • Aspirations • Dreams • Challenges • Issues • Gaps • Desired external topic, focus, or goal for this session • Desired internal topic, focus, or goal for this session.

In Holistic Coaching, we consider this to be supporting Clients with self-actualization.

Holistic Coach Certification Program Advanced Outline and Agreement for Part 2

Weekly Requirements:

1. Study module materials in the learning portal. Look over all assigned materials. Come to live-online sessions with questions or comments about each lesson. We enjoy being interactive with you and we all learn from one another. Please know your questions and thoughts are welcome. Learning portal login link: https://members.holisticcoachtraininginstitute.com. Should you have a challenge with log-in, contact: requests@smd.help. Login usernames and passwords are provided to you at signup or within days of signing up for the program. Check spam folders if you haven’t received them before reaching out to the support team. Content is also posted in the LinkedIn group for your convenience.

2. Practice coaching with your coaching partner for about 1-2 hours each week. You coach them for 30-45 minutes, and they coach you for 30-45 minutes. Please respect your partner’s time and schedule sessions when convenient to both parties. We have provided a tracking sheet so that you can start to accumulate coach experience hours. You will need to log 8 hours of you coaching someone else by the end of the program. You will be paired with a coaching partner in the class but can coach with other people, if you like. Best practices are to respect confidentiality, be dependable and be coachable.

3. Attend live-online sessions. Be sure to be present and available to coach, share and interact. Our preference is that you are on camera. Class recordings will be posted within 48 hours of completion of the live-online session in the LinkedIn group. Recordings will be available to view for approximately 14 days before being taken down. These recordings are confidential. Do not download or share the recordings. If you miss a class, watch the replay and share your learnings in the LinkedIn group. If you miss a class and choose to not have a LinkedIn profile, email your learnings to: info@holisticcoachtraininginstitute.com.

4. Engage LinkedIn group. Posting in the LinkedIn group is optional, but recommended as it provides another place to be supported and accountable. You are not required to have a LinkedIn profile to participate in the program. The best use of the LinkedIn group is to share your biggest take-aways or learnings from each lesson so that you can deepen your awareness as we move through the modules. Post as much as you would like. This is your space to connect, share, and celebrate with your peers. Ensure that any feedback or comments are positive, supportive and coaching oriented. This is a great place to practice your coaching skills by asking each other powerful questions.

Learning Goals:

Learn the ICF PCC Markers so that you are coaching towards the professional level:

● Learn the 37 PCC Markers

● Apply the 37 PCC Markers in your coaching conversations

● Practice coaching conversations that address all 37 PCC Markers

Coaching Philosophy:

Holistic Coaching empowers "the whole person" to reach their full potential in all areas of their life encompassing the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual levels. This philosophy applies to the Coach and Coachee.

List of Lead Instructors:

Lead Instructor: Beverly Sartain, PCC

Sub Instructor: Richard Sartain, PCC

Sub Instructor: Gage Bock, PCC

And any other current Sub Instructor assisting the Institute at time of cohort

Learning Philosophy:

We use a 3-step approach that includes asynchronous and synchronous learning.

There are 3 steps implemented each week throughout the program to support learning and developing coaching skills.

Step 1: Each week there is a video lesson delivered in the 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. Each Module takes about 30 minutes to review. There are 3 additional practical application assignments due by the end of the program.

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

phone or video for 1-2 hours each week based on your individual schedules. Each partner practices being in the role of coach for 30-45 minutes then in the role of client for 30-45 minutes. You are encouraged to work with more than one person from the cohort, as well as work with people outside of the cohort.

Step 3: Each week we meet via ZOOM for a live-online 3.5 hour training where we review the weekly lesson, engage in a group discussion, answer questions, and listen to

recorded coaching practice calls with live-online Instructor feedback. Listening to peers practice coaching and receiving constructive feedback from the Instructor will support you in having new awareness and developing your coaching skills.

Engaging the weekly video lessons with worksheets, coaching with a practice

partner, and receiving live-online coach training is a comprehensive approach to learning and developing your coaching skills that will prepare you for greater long-term success with your coaching. There is also a private Linkedin group created for each cohort where students can interact, network, share, receive course content, and get updates as a way to build community. LinkedIn groups are shut down approximately 12 months after the start of the cohort.

Languages that the program is delivered in:

English

Intended participants:

Coaching professionals who have participated in at least 60-hours of ICF coach education that wish to learn and develop towards the ICF (International Coaching Federation) PCC (Professional Certified Coach) level. The program can also be used to support individuals with personal growth and development.

● Attend live-online sessions. You can miss no more than 3 live-online sessions (unless otherwise discussed with the Instructor).

● Per the ICF, the program has to provide 6 observed coaching sessions to each student. Therefore, you will be required to turn in at least 4 audio recordings for us to observe during the class and participate in several in-class exercises. Per the ICF, we will provide written feedback on 4 audio recordings.

● Work with a practice partner from our group or outside of the group so that you practice the coaching skills you are learning for an experiential experience.

● Be open to receiving feedback on your coaching skills from the Instructor.

Transfer of credit policy:

Holistic Coach Training Institute does accept transfers of credit for the Level 1 program. If another ICF accredited Level 1 program has been completed then 100% of those credits will be applied towards the requirements to complete the Level 2 program. You can email us at info@holisticcoachtraininginstitute.com if you have special circumstances or questions regarding this policy. We may ask for additional documentation to verify your previous training.

Policies on payment of tuition:

There is a pay in full option that provides a discount to students. And there are payment plan options for those who want to pay monthly. The standard cost of the Holistic Coach Certification Program is $4,550, available with a 13 month payment plan of $350 per month or $3,850 if paid in full. If participants elect to sign up for Part 1 and Part 2 together, otherwise known as the “Holistic Coach Certification Program Advanced” full Level 2 program then the standard cost is $7,350 with a 21-month payment plan at $350 per month or $6,500 if paid in full. There are no additional fees or interest added to the payment plans. We use Stripe and Square as our invoicing system. Payments are automatically debited each month. If you do not pay within 21 days and have not made arrangements with us around how payment will be made, your access to materials will be discontinued and you will be taken out of the group. Please know you can discuss your needs with us.

Refund Policy:

Full refunds are issued if a notice to cancel is received within 3 days after initial payment is made. There are no refunds after 3 days from the time of initial payment. In order to qualify for a refund within the 3 day period, an email must be sent to info@holisticcoachtraininginstitute.com requesting cancellation. After the 3 day period, cancellations and withdrawals qualify for an “in house credit” that can be applied to future programs or individual coaching. If there is something that comes up and you are no longer able to continue in this cohort, we can discuss you attending another cohort. We are happy to work with you on ensuring you receive the value of your investment. And if you are not getting what you need from the program (for any reason), give us the courtesy of a conversation so we can work through it together. If you are needing different support, let’s discuss your needs and course-correct, if needed. A student can leave the program at any time. If the student leaves the program, they will still be responsible to pay for services rendered.

Unforeseen Circumstances Policy:

In the event of a temporary power outage or internet service disruption during a live-online session, the Instructor will attempt to re-enter the live-online session as soon as possible. In the event that more than 10 minutes pass without the Instructor present, the class will be considered canceled. Students should exit the session and attend the next regularly scheduled live-online session. In the event of unforeseen circumstances including, but not limited to: natural disasters, acts of God, service disruptions, war, terrorism, state, national, and international emergencies, etc, where training is unable to be delivered or attended according to plan/schedule, students/customers will receive an "in house credit" for the total amount paid to date and will be given the option to select a future training cohort as available. Agreed payments will continue. No refunds are available after 3 days from initial payment in accordance with the refund policy.

Organization’s Illness Policy:

Students who are absent from class or any required class-related activity because of illness should contact their Instructor, if feasible, as early as possible prior to the missed class. Students and Instructors can work together to see if materials can be made up in a reasonable time. If a student is going to miss more than 4 of the live-online sessions due to the illness, an alternative option for completion of the program will be provided.

Holistic Coach Training Institute allows students who need to drop out of a cohort due to illness to participate in another cohort within 12 months of the initial cohort's start date without additional fees. Future payments can be halted, but no money is refunded for an illness.

Limited Liability Policy:

Except as expressly provided in this Program Outline and Agreement, Sartain Soulutions, LLC DBA Holistic Coach Training Institute (Organization) makes no guarantees, representations or warranties of any kind or nature, express or implied with respect to the services negotiated, agreed upon and rendered.

Notwithstanding any damages that the Client may incur, the Organization's entire liability under this Agreement, and the Client’s exclusive remedy, shall be limited to the amount actually paid by the Client to the Organization under this Agreement for all services rendered.

Confidentiality:

If you share a recording in class then you must have prior, written permission from the Coachee to share it. Anything shared in the live-online sessions must be kept confidential unless written permission is provided. We may ask if we can use your recording for ICF accreditation purposes. The ICF requires programs to provide student recordings as an example of work being completed in the program. We will ask your permission if we would like to use your recording. We will be housing our group calls for 2 weeks in our LinkedIn group so that people who may have missed class have an opportunity to view it. These recordings will be discarded.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Life changing experience for me. I've taken other courses and trainings and this is BY FAR the most exceptional program I've ever been through. Bev and her team are absolutely incredible. They provide such a safe environment and attract a beautiful community of people. I loved my cohort and it was the perfect size for learning. 10/10 recommend. I would take this course even if i wasn't planning on becoming a coach; the skills I learned have improved my communication with everyone in my life (work, friends, family, etc). Bev is so generous and truly helps you to understand, learn, and develop the skills as a coach. Can't give enough praise for HCTI!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the great experience of being ICF and holistically trained by The Holistic Coach Institute. I highly recommend this platform to anyone seeking a coaching certificate. It made all the difference in the world to my effectiveness as a coach, a spiritual intuitive, and a business owner.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As someone who defies the "one-and-only" standard learning recipe, I'm so glad that I did my ACC training with HCTI and the supportive cohort that Bev curated. We had a safe space to practice and listen to each other learning to apply the fundamental coaching framework, and I finished the program feeling like a much stronger coach and knowing what I'm doing - not just minute by minute in client sessions, but also how I'm developing holistically as a coach who holds space for others and for myself.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From my first interaction through the entire experience, HCTI felt like a “meant to be” fit and the right place to invest in myself. I enrolled in Level 1 (notably, with zero pressure or selling) and found it so rewarding that I went on to complete Level 2. The program is professional, thorough, practical, and deeply relevant. I gained valuable tools and resources, and had meaningful opportunities to practice while receiving thoughtful feedback and encouragement. The holistic approach deepened both the learning and the overall experience. An added bonus was connecting weekly with high-caliber humans also committed to growth. If your next chapter is leading you in this direction, I highly recommend starting here.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Holistic Life Coaching Training Institute provided me with transformative knowledge, a supportive community, and invaluable resources that helped me align with my life’s purpose. What stands out most is the personal growth I experienced simply by showing up to class; each session was a step toward deeper self-awareness and empowerment.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Searching for an ICF accredited training program was so overwhelming for me!  I somehow stumbled into this program and it was life changing.  If you are looking for an in-depth program where you will grow personally and professionally AND leave with everything you need to pursue ICF certification - look no further!  Book a Discovery Call and see if it fits your needs.  Enjoy the journey!

My sincere thanks to the Holistic Coach Training Institute for offering an invaluable certification course that is so thoughtfully and intentionally created. It is easy to see that each facet of the training is designed with care, and in alignment with the International Coaching Federation, in order to set every coach up for success. I am so grateful for the experience, as well as for the ways in which I have been well-equipped to move forward with supporting others through Holistic Coaching.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Holistic Coach training program was life changing on a number of levels for me. It brought a new perspective and approach to all the conversations and relationships in my life as well as any healing modality I step into. It not only has provided an amazing framework for coaching, but a framework for stepping outside of the ego and focusing on other's magnificence. I will utilize the skills I learned in this course for any healing modality I venture into. Thank you Bev for this wonderful blessing you have created. <3

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I finish HCCP with Beverly. It was an amazing experience. Good teaching methods, allow you to have your unique journey. After this experience, I became a different person. I slowed down, my vocabulary changed, and my level of confidence changed. I learned to listen to other people and keep space for them. I truly recommend it!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t say enough good things about HCTI! I had a great experience. It was the perfect combination of education and connectedness to self and others. This ICF-accredited program sets it far apart from the others and raises the bar!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I truly enjoyed the Holistic Coach Certification Advanced Training Program. The program's design, which breaks the 37 markers into bite-sized learning pieces, deepens understanding through discussion, application, and feedback, cultivates an open, safe, and explorative learning atmosphere, and, most importantly, features the instructor's absolute loving presence, was excellent. Working towards ICF credentialing would have been a very tough process if I hadn't joined this training program and received all the wonderful support! This experience is truly igniting, inspiring, and nurturing. I highly recommend it to any life coaches who wish to advance their coaching skills and proceed with ICF credentials.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The way Bev guides you through the process is second to none. I've been in other coaching programs but have never felt so held during the process. No question goes unanswered and I always felts heard during the group sessions. The feedback given by her and Gage is constructive and provided in a caring and loving way.

If you want to be a Holistic Coach and feel nothing but love and support during the process - this is the program for you!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have engaged with Beverly at HCTI in multiple ways, and can whole-heartedly recommend her certification program as well as her coaching services.

I wasn't searching for an ICF-approved coach certification when Bev reached out to me from a previous association. Having been a self-employed health coach previously, I knew my next step would involve the ICF as opposed to a certification offered via an individual or higher education.

Beverly led me through her certification program in 2020, and I have remained connected with her community since I graduated. There were opportunities for learning, growth, collaboration, peer coaching and more under her program. Since then, I have written blogs and delivered presentations for her group of holistic coaches from all across the globe. She is very collaborative and inviting in her approach. Even more powerfully, she attracts a wide variety of professionals- from higher education to entrepreneurs to government employees. The benefits of learning from this incredible cross-section of folks cannot be overstated.

In 2023, I coached privately with Beverly. Never have I felt more seen and acknowledged. This is despite having worked with many coaches over the course of the last decade! She truly demonstrates the best of what this industry strives to be, and I am proud to have been mentored by her.

If you are considering adding coaching skills to your career, especially one that follows internationally recognized standards, I highly recommend the HCTI. The program was value-packed, paced appropriately for someone working full-time hours, and led to many rich partnerships. If you have an opportunity to coach privately with Beverly, you will receive an experience that will enrich both your personal and professional life.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am thoroughly impressed by this course! It superseded my expectations by a landslide!

Every aspect of the learning experience has had benefits. The ongoing support has been invaluable and the coaching principles taught in class were easy to learn and delivered in a way that made it easy to adapt to.  My personal growth through the course and in large part because of it, has to receive a mention as well. I was also impressed by the materials provided to start my business - actual gold!

I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is interested in finding key principles to be able to help people and really see growth in themselves.

Thanks for all the learnings Bev! I can't wait to explore what the future has in store!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Holistic Coach Program at Holistic Coach Training Institute (HCTI) was a wonderful experiential program rich in education, learning and opportunities for growth on every level. The support I received from Beverly Sartain and the members of my cohort was unwavering. Most importantly, the teachings and learnings at HCTI reflect my strong belief that conscious, positive transformation (even as a coach) begins with the individual. This is embodied and woven throughout the entire program. I highly recommend!!!

I have been enrolled in their programs since 2020 and have been trained and certified at both the ACC and PCC levels. Not only will you become a confident coach by training with them, Beverly and Richard Sartain provide a nurturing and safe environment where students gain important insights and make huge internal shifts. The learning experiences they provide offer opportunities for both personal and professional growth.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Holistic Coach Training Institute not only teaches you how to coach but shows you how to embody being a coach.  The support is there from the beginning till the end and beyond.  Beverly is extremely supportive and her program aligns with who she is as a person.  I learned so much about myself through this process.  Stop thinking about joining the program and just do it!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Let me take this opportunity to full endorse the Holistic Coach Training Institute. I have complete two Certification Programs with the Institute because challenging myself and learning from other disciplines outside my area of expertise is where the growth opportunities occur. Through Beverly's fantastic programs, I’ve received challenge, support and encouragement to consider the possibilities of where my coaching can go- even as a veteran coach. With Beverly's coaching and mentoring, I feel like I’ve grown my practice, well holistically!, and was lucky enough to gain this wonderful, unexpected, bonus of a coaching community I can celebrate my wins with and coach through my challenges in a loving and guided way. Thank you Beverly, Richard and everyone else who makes the Holistic Coaching Institute what it is! You’re doing life-changing work and those around you see it, feel and are touched by it.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I started the Holistic Coach Training during the summer of 2020.  At the risk of sounding cheesy it was one of the best professional and personal decisions I have made in my life...and I'm almost 50! What started as an extra credential became a life altering adventure. This program embodies its mission. Bev and her team create a container for growth, learning and thriving through the holistic lens. If all you want is an excellent training with opportunities for getting credentials, this program will do that for you. Get ready though...more than your resume will be transformed! ;)

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would give this rating a billion stars if I could. What an incredible experience it was to take a course here and to learn from Beverley Sartain! Bev is a gift to this world (and so is her book, "Transcending Trauma" - highly recommend! It's available on Amazon)...Her teachings will inspire and move you in ways I can't even begin to describe. The course I took was about 6 months long and it was definitely something I was excited for every week. It was soul-nourishing and life-changing to be able to connect with other like-minded individuals and to learn from and heal with one another...I learned so much about myself and what it means to be a great holistic coach and have been able to apply everything I've learned into building my own successful coaching business. If you're reading this review then please take it as a sign that you should SIGN UP with Holistic Coach Training Institute! You will not regret it as I have not.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I completed both the Coach Certificate & Advanced Coach Certificate, and WOW. These programs changed my life in profound ways, all of which have set me up to change others' lives, and that is the most powerful thing I could've asked for. To receive not only the technical education and knowledge behind the actual coaching practice, but also the emotional/spiritual education on how to best be an effective leader in holding space for other people's brilliance was the richest part of the program, not to mention the community of amazing people you connect with throughout the program. I am so grateful for my time here, the journey has been so incredibly fulfilling and enlightening.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I started my journey with the Holistic Coaching Institute in May 2022 and just recently completed my Holistic Coach Certification Training Program.  My experience with Bev greatly exceeded any expectations that I had when I started.  Not only did Bev prepare us to confidently coach on our own, but she created a supportive and safe environment within our group to take risks, grow as individuals and be vulnerable.  I loved the program so much that within a week of completing my certification I signed up to become part of The Legacy Program to continue nurturing my personal growth and coaching skills.  I would HIGHLY recommend this program to anyone considering becoming a Holistic Life Coach. This has truly been a life changing experience.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am incredibly grateful to have taken both the ACC Level 1 and PCC Level 2 Coaching Courses from Beverly Sartain of the Holistic Coach Training Institute. When reflecting on what has made these two courses so impactful, the image of a tree with Bev’s body transposed on top of it comes to mind. Bev is reaching her arms (branches) and splayed fingers (leaves) to the clouds, the cosmos, the universe to represent her connection to the divine. Through this portal and her innate ability to hold space, she provides a container for all of us to discover ourselves. Moving down the tree trunk is Bev’s trunk, and where the stump widens are Bev’s legs, as one foot stands in the “teacher” role and the other in the “coach” role. Her energy weaves effortlessly, subtly dancing between the two. When Bev teaches it’s never from a place of authority or ego, but instead from modeling, embodying, and an authentic sharing of experience and wisdom. When Bev coaches, she demonstrates curiosity and compassion so that we are able to experience increased awareness and growth. She teaches us to coach, and coaches us to teach ourselves how to recognize the opportunity for expansion moving forward. This is all possible because anchoring Bev’s feet to Mother Earth are the principles and paradigms that holistic coaching is rooted in. By holding onto these firmly and lovingly, Bev’s roots have spread to grow other trees (coaches); so as we all look around we realize we are not alone, but part of the forest. Russell Page said, “To plant trees is to give body and life to one's dreams of a better world.” Sincerely thank you, Bev, for following your dream of a better world!
