DEVELOPING COACH & CLIENT CONFIDENCE

An explorative course designed specifically for professionals working closely with clients who are seeking to consolidate their coaching professionalism, and build client trust. The transition from student to coach can be the step that is the biggest. We often hear students say 'I don't feel like I know enough', or that they don't feel ready, or that they just don't feel confident. Like a healer, heal thy self journey, a strong personal experience in confidence growth enables us to better support others in their road to self. Learn about what confidence is, how it is cultivated and maintained, and grow your coaching presence in the process.

This subject is designed to peel back some of the layers of what can hold us back, and as you begin to champion your own successes you'll be better able to stay true to fulfilling the reason you came to coaching in the first place. We have so many excellent coaches in the making, don't let yourself be limited by your inner critic, or fall by the wayside, live your life to its fullest.

As an experience-based subject you'll work through a workbook and discovery booklet that directs you to personal and practical work, and along the way. In turn you'll be able to extract content, activities and meaning to share with clients.
INCLUDES THE CLIENT'S DISCOVERY WORKBOOK VALUED AT $99
You'll receive a copy of our unique Client's Discovery Program Workbook (a 73-page booklet of self-exploration and Coaches Manual) as part of the course (valued at $99). The Discovery Program will assist you to plan and create a coaching program of your own to use with clients. Through the use of the program booklet and your Coaching Manual you'll be able to provide your clients opportunities of self-discovery, with reflections of what is crafted in your sessions. The client is able to continue to build on the work done in and between sessions.

One of the most common challenges when you start out with clients is confidence

Of all concerns that professionals hold when starting out, confidence in knowing they can adequately support their clients, that they'll have the knowledge to respond where needed, that the client will be confident in their skills and that they'll cope with all a session might bring up, are the most common.

TESTIMONIALS
... the Coaching Confidence course - AMAZING! :) Loving this course so far, and I am excited about all the sessions we have to do. I love the section about exploring yourself and finding out your values, attributes and strengths etc. It makes you actually stop and think about you and what is important to you... in going through the values and personal strengths that you (every one of us) have, you can see your amazing and unique combinations of values, attributes and strengths that make you to the person you are and will make, in every case, a unique coach with their own personal touches.

Maybe I love it so much as I do love self-reflection and have done it heaps in the past years and through that, I have come so far and learned to love the person I am with all my flaws and imperfections. I am curious, anxious and excited at the same time for the sessions (same feelings as I had in the Wellness Management & Coaching Practices course prior to the sessions - but it ended up being my favourite foundation unit!),. Still, I know this is exactly what I need to do (lots of the coaching practice), so I can get to the stage of being confident enough to offer my services with confidence and skill.

Thank you for creating this course, I know it is of enormous value to all of us and will see us students on the right path with confidence.
