Come in with an open and curious mind and learn more with us!
Brad Yates is the online guru for Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), also known as “tapping.” He wrote the bestselling children’s book, The Wizard's Wish, and is the co-author of the bestseller, Freedom at Your Fingertips. He is a featured expert in the film, “The Tapping Solution,” and has appeared at many events, seminars, and media outlets. Brad’s core belief is that we all have greatness within us, and he views it as his job to help people reveal that greatness. He has over 1200 instructional videos on YouTube, and he encourages our listeners to take advantage of his online resources. To get the full experience of today’s episode, we urge you to watch the video interview on the STaR Coach Show YouTube channel so you’ll more fully understand the technique of tapping.

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.
It's small, personal, and powerful. If you've been waiting for the right time, this is it. So head over to Star Coach Show. That’s https://starcoachshow.com/mentor/ to grab your spot or to learn more. I'd love to work with you. Now, let's get into today's show.
I’m enrolling coaches now for my Spring Mentoring Program. Some are here for credentialing hours. Others are here because they want to become the coach their clients rave about.
Inside the program, we work on your actual coaching.
You’ll hear yourself differently.
Learn from other coaches.
Develop more presence.
And ask questions that create real transformation.
If you’re ready to deepen your skills and your impact, I’d love to support you.
