As coaches, we know how essential it is to build relationships and work one-on-one with our clients. One way to step up your game and get your message across is through public speaking engagements. Speaking to a crowd maximizes your influence far beyond the one-one-one platform. Another benefit of speaking publicly is attracting clients who want to work with you. Join us to learn more!

Mentor Program

If you're working toward your ACC or PCC credential, or if it's time to recertify your ACC mentor, coaching isn't just a requirement on a checklist. It's one of the most transformative investments you can make in yourself and your coaching. I've taught or mentored over 2000 coaches, and I hear the same thing again and again. I came because I had to, and I am so glad that I did. Coaches tell me they walk away with renewed energy, deeper confidence and a community of peers who genuinely support each other. Here's what you need to know right now. Mentor coaching must span a minimum of three months, so the time to start is not when your credential is just about to expire. And if you complete your hours in 2026, you get ahead of the upcoming ICF changes, which means peace of mind along with skill development. My fall cohort is already filling up. Every group is capped at ten.

If you’re a coach who wants to grow—not just check a box—this is for you.
