BECOME A CONFIDENT COACH AND FACILITATOR OF CHANGE

There’s no doubt coaching is fast building traction as a popular career and personal development pathway. Coaching is a blend of various psychological approaches that include self-help, personal growth, behavioural psychology (CBT), neuroplasticity, and neurolinguistic programming (NLP). Coaching isn’t about goal ‘setting’ though – it’s about goal achieving.  Professional coaching provides clarity, confidence and the ability to take what you ‘know’ and turn it into ‘action’. As a confident Coach, you’ll help clients increase their sense of self-efficacy and learn how to create the change that they simply couldn’t on their own. You will also get clear about your own values and goals to deepen your personal growth and competency skills in practice, all while learning how to inspire change and empower others! As you move through these essential foundations, immediately start applying the coaching methodologies, communication skills, behavioural psychology, mindset & habit protocols, and practical exercises and tools into your own life, career and relationships. Our course is the product of over twenty years of study, research, and direct personal and professional experience presented in an easily accessible, absorbable and personally integrative way. You’ll get the information you need to know– without all the fluff – and learn how to immediately apply it into real world scenarios as an effective, empowering and confident Holistic Life Coach and behaviour change specialist.  There is no other rewarding career quite like the feeling of inspiring and guiding someone to truly create lasting change!

PERSONAL GROWTH AND PRACTICAL SKILLS

Self-Development & Holistic Life Coaching Training!

If you want to help people change – in any capacity – you first must learn how to properly conduct insightful, progressive coaching conversations that take your clients from their problem (pain point) to their desired solution (intentional goal).

You’ve likely already tried to implement a healthy eating plan, design a fitness or strength-training program, or use motivational skills to create a mindset shift using the SMART goal-setting method as your go-to….

However, despite all your good intentions and strategies, your clients may not stick to their change plan and keep sabotaging themselves from reaching, or maintaining, their goals. WHY?

Your client might be trying very hard but seem genuinely perplexed why that can’t stick to it, or they may know they’re self-sabotaging but look to you to get unstuck. Or they may make great progress for a few weeks and then suddenly motivation falls away and it all gets too hard… (Why can’t I just do it?!)

It’s frustrating to invest so much time and energy into your clients only to get stuck yourself and not know how to move them beyond their inner barriers to change!

Here is the missing piece that most other training courses in the health, fitness and wellness arena don’t teach: Change happens in the mind. And not your conscious mind…

What you think, feel and do on a consistent daily basis becomes your patterned beliefs… And beliefs direct behaviours.

Learn how to identify why client’s get stuck in certain patterns, what they’re getting out of them (a need or secondary gain), and how to meet their needs or feelings in new, supportive ways.

Whether you’re an existing coach, therapist or practitioner OR you have no prior training working with 1:1 clients, this course guides you through the foundational skills of professional practice with the evidence-based approaches you NEED to effectively coach and guide others.

"Words are not enough to express my gratitude for this amazing program! I’ve learned so much about myself in the process especially the areas within myself and my life that need more focus and healing. Some of the exercises brought up feelings I didn’t know I had! It was enlightening and invigorating. I absolutely wouldn’t change a thing and highly, HIGHLY recommend it to anyone considering a career in holistic life coaching. Thank you, Viki and MBF Team! "

    "I have loved the course which has far exceeded my expectations! It doesn’t feel like work at all as it is so interesting and I look forward to each new module along with all the videos. I find Viki great to listen to, very knowledgeable and I am so impressed with her coaching skills. I have always been interested in the mind and how our thoughts affect our behaviour and ultimately the course of our life. This course brings so many of the teachings and information that I have read about in the last 30 years into one platform. The course has reinforced that coaching is what I want to do and I am excited (and nervous) about putting all the useful tools we have been learning into action. From a personal growth point of view, it has helped me clarify the areas in my life that need attention. I already knew in a semi-conscious way what needed to change but the course has helped me get crystal clear and be completely honest with myself on what needs attention and the steps I can take to improve them."

    Details & Duration

    You can enrol at ANY time and join students from over 30+ different countries around the world! There are always students starting each week so you’ll always have people moving through at a similar pace to you.

    The Holistic Life Coach Practitioner course is comprised of four theory PDF modules + training webinars, competency tasks for integration, 1 competency quiz + practical coaching sessions. It is designed to be completed within 12 weeks however it is a self-paced structured program and we provide a generous 6 months to complete all requirements.

    Delivery is one module per week (PDF and teaching webinar) to provide time to absorb the learning, integrate the practices, self-reflect and solidify the knowledge through application.

    The practical coaching components require a minimum of 10 x 1 hour sessions of practice coaching with written feedback, client session notes, and self-reflections with your final submission to develop the core coaching competencies and experiential skills in practice.

    Each module includes in-depth teaching webinars that you can watch or listen to on the go. While there is no final exam you will complete one carefully designed competency quiz to affirm knowledge. 

    We host fortnightly live group sessions to suit all timezones, and educational masterclasses with guest presenters in various professional fields, alongside personal support from the Institute coaches and teachers.

    Upon graduation you’ll receive a professional certificate with your official Certification, including hours, which will verify your professional qualification to relevant industry associations and accreditation boards internationally to become insured.

    Yes – but only for a minimum of 3 over the course of your learning! Live synchronous training is provided for student connection in a safe space to discuss, observe, and practice skills effectively.

    Fortnightly live calls are scheduled in Brisbane, Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) and rotate between AM and PM sessions to cater for all time zones. Replays are added to our ever-growing Video Training Vaults.

    As someone interested in becoming a ‘Coach’, the word itself may not actually resonate with you. In many countries, coaching is still a relatively new term, so the word ‘Coach’ simply may not align with your niche area, your clientele, your community, or even your energy.

    But no-one says you have to call yourself a ‘coach’ when you’re qualified! You can essentially adopt a title that best represents your niche.

    ⇒ Training modules in theory PDF & video to make studying easy and accessible anywhere, anytime. Modules are available weekly inside our user-friendly student platform.

    ⇒ In-depth teaching webinars for audio-visual learning to complement your written module PDFs and help you dive into the practicalities and strategies of real transformational coaching.

    ⇒ Fortnightly live group training calls and practical coaching experience to build confidence, practice skills, and connect with us and your fellow students in real time.

    ⇒ 1:1 mentor call at the end of the theory stage, before practice.

    ⇒ Email, Message & Audio support for questions and guidance Mon-Fri. A private community with group chats and connection. At no stage are you going it alone.

    ⇒ Additional coaching resources, training masterclasses and client exercises to deepen your awareness and further inspire change.

    • Each student must complete each competency task containing a variety of activities, self-enquiry questions, practical tasks and coaching exercises – there are no time-consuming research projects!

    • Each student must conduct a minimum of 10 x 1 hour minimum practical coaching sessions with completed client feedback forms and session notes (provided in your toolkit). Students can conduct coaching sessions with each other for accountability and support, but are also required to coach non-students.

    • Each coaching student must attend a minimum number of live training calls for practical skills integration and live synchronous guidance, demonstration, interaction and group practice. This provides insightful discussions and practical coaching guidance in a safe, supportive learning environment.

    • Live training calls are held fortnightly and rotate between AM & PM Brisbane time to cater for all timezones.

    We assess your competency based on demonstrated self-insight, self-reflection and written assessments, plus practical feedback, coaching integration, experience and skills participation in our live group & mentor calls.

    On successful completion you will receive a beautifully designed certificate to verify your accomplishment for professional recognition.

    Support & Assessment

    Absolutely! Our awesome team of passionate mentor coaches are here to help you succeed. However big or small the question, we’re here to give you the information and guidance you need, when you need it. We are all qualified industry professionals.

    You bet there is – we love questions and we’re here to help you gain the most out of your learning experience and see you through to graduation. As online study can often feel overwhelming or isolating, we are consciously active and involved with our students so they know there’s help available whenever they need it. As long as you reach out when you need to, we will be here to support you as much as you need. There is oodles of support in our active community spaces too!

    No! Modules are made available in the platform every 7 days beginning the date you enrolled, thereby honouring our weekly schedule and ensuring students take their time to absorb, apply and integrate their insights and learning without rush. You are not expected to keep up with the weekly schedule as some modules are an invitation to stay awhile and allow for healing.

    We don’t want to overwhelm anyone so the module tasks are designed to help you feel like you’re also growing and stretching while you’re doing the work that you’ll expect your clients to do. We always focus on small steps, consistently.

    Your module tasks are much more practical than research based, so don’t worry about having to spend hours and hours reading and referencing! We’re more about the ‘doing and being’ so you can apply what you’re learning into ‘real life’.

    Competency-based certification courses with practical elements require demonstration of understanding and self-application within a specified learning window. If learning is not consistent, knowledge and skills will be diminished or lost and the student may struggle to effectively demonstrate skills to meet competency.

    It’s similar to how certain professions require continuing education every 1-2 years to stay relevant and knowledgeable within their field of practice. As coaching does not require CPD, the learning and application window must be contained for the best opportunity to retain information, utilise practical skills, and grow in confidence consistently.

    YES! In fact you’ll be trainee coaching clients from week four of the course and gaining direct practical experience with clients! You are encouraged to action your new skills and knowledge straight into sessions to grow your confidence and skills in practice – even before you feel ‘ready’!

    Practitioners have the knowledge on how to move the client forward in their modality of specialization and generally have existing protocols and methods (exercises, assessments) that specifically take their clients through a process to a resolution, constantly adjusting and personalizing along the way.
     
    A Coach works on the premise that the client already has the answers (client-centred), so they help awaken that information through effective communication skills, direct questioning, cultivating self-insight and the use of various exercises to address core beliefs and habitual behaviours. Coaches co-create action steps and assist the client to move beyond their current experience into an empowered and conscious life (solution-focused).
     
    There are many different types of Coaches, each with their own focused niche, who act as a sounding board, objective guide and facilitator of new thoughts, beliefs and behaviours for clients wanting to make change in their lives.
     
    So, although these ‘titles’ are similar, it depends on the setting, approach, method and objective.

    Yes! You will gain instant access to these invaluable resources:

    • THE ‘BONUS TRAINING’ REPLAY PLAYLIST
    • THE COLLABORATIVE GROUP PRACTICE REPLAYS

    We know running a solo business can be isolating for some so we like to offer opportunities to stay connected and feel a sense of community with your new ‘colleagues’. That’s why we offer our graduates the following as part of successfully completing our courses:
