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.

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 Instructors:
Lead Instructor: Beverly Sartain, PCC
Sub Instructor: Richard Sartain, PCC
Mentor Coach and 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.

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.

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.
If there is something you are curious about that is not included in this outline and agreement, feel free to ask. Remember that we are in a partnership together. Please communicate with us what is going on for you. We do not know what you do not communicate.

The Holistic Coach Training Institute is honored to support you through this incredible journey!
Part 2 Program Outline and Agrement
Weekly Requirements:
1. Access module materials through the learning portal. Look over all materials. Come to our live sessions with questions or comments about each module. I love to be interactive with you, and we all learn from one another. Please know your questions and thoughts are welcome. Content is dripped out weekly. Learning Portal Login: https://members.holisticcoachtraininginstitute.com. Should you have a problem with log-in, contact: requests@smd.help. Login and password are provided to you within days of signing up for the program, if you don’t already have access to the learning portal. Check Spam Folders if you haven’t received it before reaching out to the support team. All content is also posted in the LinkedIn group for your convenience.
2. Practice skills, templates or session outline with a coaching partner for a total of 1-2 hours each week. You coach them for about 45 minutes, and they coach you for about 45 minutes. Please respect people’s time and schedule sessions when convenient to both parties. I’ve provided you the ICF Tracking Sheet so that you can continue to accumulate hours. You will need to log 8 hours of you coaching someone else by the end of the program. You will be asked if you would like to be paired with someone 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 sessions. When attending live, be sure to be present and available to coach, share and interact. My preference is that you are on camera. Class recordings will be posted within 48 hours in the LinkedIn group. Replays will be available for 14 days and then will be discarded. These recordings are confidential and are not meant to be shared with other people not in our class. If you do miss a class, watch the replay and share your learnings in our LinkedIn group.
4. Post in the LinkedIn Group. Posting in the online group is optional, but highly recommended as it gives you another place to be accountable and supported. Best use would be to share your biggest take-aways or learnings from each lesson so that you can ground and deepen your awareness as we move through all the Modules. Post as much as you want. This is your space to connect, to share, to celebrate together! Make sure feedback is positive, supportive and coaching in nature. This is a great place to practice your coaching skills by asking each other powerful questions.
