50 minutes

Hello friends! I'm thrilled to bring you this spontaneous episode - we planned it this morning and hit record this afternoon because when inspiration strikes, you go with it!

I'm joined by the wonderful Nici to discuss my upcoming life coach certification program and what led her to join the inaugural group. If you've been considering life coaching, questioning whether certification is necessary, or want to understand what becoming a transformational coach actually involves - you're in the right place.

Episode Highlights

Why Now? The Vision Behind This Program

My motivation for creating this certification (hint: it's the program I needed when I started)

Three pathways for life coaches: full-time practice, side income, or ministry enhancement

Building a legacy by equipping coaches who'll reach people I never could

What Sets This Program Apart

Personal one-on-one coaching sessions with me across 6 months

Bi-monthly small group calls (90-120 minutes each)

Buddy coaching with recorded sessions that I review and provide feedback on
