How we are able to lead the pack

We can proudly say that we were the first to embrace a non-diet approach (and not because it was fashionable) but because it goes to the heart of what we believe. We were the first to commit to all our coaches holding mental health training. We were the original college in Australasia to offer lifestyle coaching courses since 2012 and we were the first to move to a curiosity-based learning approach, which is free of stressful time-pressured exams, essays or exhausting deadline-based case studies.  How do we lead? We listen! We listen to our collective, we intuit the social changes mirrored by our people and we respond quickly, and with clarity, a clarity that only occurs when you authentically believe in what you are aligning with.

Testimonials and reviews

Our Collective is awesomely strong and connected, you'll find everything we do has reflections from our Collective, from our our Instagram and FB accounts, which are 'coloured in' by our students and alumni, to our testimonials page, everything we do is for and informed by our student.

Where and when we started, our story

Leanne Cooper begun the business in 1998 from one healthy eating course she taught at a local community college; since then it has grown so substantially that it is one of the largest, most trusted providers of wellbeing training in the world. Our core business values are SERVICE, authenticity, ethical conduct, quality, and innovation. Well College Global (WCG) is a brand owned  by Cadence Health Pty Ltd, a Sydney (Australia) based company. We are completely independent and do not receive funding from any kind.

Our health philosophy

We believe it is incumbent upon training colleges in the health sector to provide their people with the skill set and drive to empower others to make informed health choices. We err away from the paternalistic view of health, and instead believe client/patient care should be collaborative, supportive, inclusive, engaging, integrative, personal, time-generous, empowering and wellness-focused. Indeed this is one of the reasons we produced a free Personal Wellness Coaching course so that everyone, regardless of location, background, or resources can access to the steps to take their lives to where they can be of most benefit to themselves, their loved ones and society.

Our philosophy on food and dieting

WCG was the first college to offer Nutrition Psychology way back in 2013, we are and always will be the innovators because we are connected to our collective, we listen to what is happening for them and we respond. Nutrition Psychology was the tip of the iceberg in the reversal of weight-biased, body bashing, body shaming, diet demeaning, social comparison  and other negative paradigms. In 2019 WCG rolled out their Non-Diet Approach Coaching course because quite simply diets fail us, not the other way around. The outcome of the dieting paradigm was girls (and increasingly boys) began seeking to use food to control their bodies to reach unrealistic body images, women lost their love of themselves, and it became the norm to believe that we must all be thin to be healthy (and attractive). WRONG!!!! 95% of diets do not work and have failed us, they are simply anti self-compassion. We must love the bodies we live in because they love us. We must have a relationship with food that nourishes not just our bodies but also our minds and spirits. We must see food as something that is about health and happiness. Simple...

Our education philosophy

Education is not merely learning, in fact to learn is only half of the picture, educational process is about experiencing your learnings in such a way that it creates a shift within you. To create this learning must be based on a curiosity-led approach. Studies out of Finland, the country consistently at the top of the OECD for educational outcomes, shows us clearly that when we use curiosity to 'teach', the student becomes their own source of enrichment. From curiosity we can grow and express our true potential which we can share with others. You will not find a single essay, exam or time-dependent assessment, we often remind our students not to overthink their assessment tasks, we are not setting out to trick or place you under stress. We are about encouraging you to question, reflect, pause, experience and share. One of the pieces of feedback we hear most often from our alumni is how much their study has changed their lives (or rather brought out in them) and changed the way they connect with others.

Some of the cool things we do

We are a socially progressive college, we believe humanity has within it the ability to resolve the disparities that exist, which are in the main perpetuated by the few for their benefit. Our team at WCG all come from essentially humanitarian backgrounds and are passionate about raising our communities up through compassion, judgement-free, open and kind debate, and positive action, these also happen to be the qualities of a coach (no coincidence there). At WCG we enjoy rolling out initiatives to support local communities, to provide free courses in times of need to various groups in the community, to run mediation connection sessions and much more, there is rarely a day where we are not reaching out and connecting in a meaningful way.

Our mission statement is to enhance The Progress of Nations where ever opportunities to do so arise!
CAN' T SAY IT BETTER OURSELVES!

THE PROGRESS OF NATIONS
The day will come when the progress of nations will be judged not by their military or economic strength, nor by the splendour of their capital cities and public buildings, but by the well-being of their peoples:
¨ by their levels of health, nutrition and education;
¨ by their opportunities to earn a fair reward for their labours;
¨ by their ability to participate in the decisions that affect their lives;
¨ by the respect that is shown for their civil and political liberties;
¨ by the provision that is made for those who are vulnerable and disadvantaged; and,
¨ by the protection that is afforded to the growing minds and bodies of their children.
