Quotes from recent
students:
- "I
want you to know how much I appreciated the course, The Power
of Possibilities! Being a participant in this course has given
me more freedom to begin dreaming again. I plan on spending time
reviewing the material and writing out some dreams. Thanks again."
- "I've
taken many classes in the past 30 years and this
is truly the first time that I couldn't wait for the next day's
class to begin."
- "I
hope others have a chance to take a class here so they too can
feel as inspired as I did these last couple of days."
- "I
feel like here we can experiment and take risks without fear and
become the best we can be."
- "This
class was a gift. It was exactly what I needed right when I needed
it. I came here to learn how to motivate and change other people's
lives and I transformed my own."
- "I've
learned more tools and techniques in the last few months than
I learned in the three years I spent in my masters program. And,
this is more enjoyable."
Our Coaching
Philosophy:
There are
a wide variety of definitions for what coaching is and how it
is used. The one we find effective and embrace begins with the
belief that coaching is a partnership relationship. The client
is the expert in their life. They have the answers within them.
We are simply there to ask questions that take them below the
surface so that they can source answers that have meaning and
will motivate them to embrace change. We do this by raising
the client's awareness of how they are responding to themselves
and the word around them. We connect them to their values so
their steps align with who they are and who they are becoming.
And, we champion them towards their goals so that they don't
lose energy or sight of where they are headed.
We have
five underlying beliefs that are at the heart the coach-client
relationship.
- People
prefer to be stretched and challenged.
- People
are more accepting of their own decisions.
- People
learn best through self-discovery.
- People
hunger for an accountability partner.
- People
have a purpose in life and at a deeper level want to manifest
it.
Transformation
occurs when the client's awareness is heightened, alternative
perspectives are explored and a conscious path of action is taken.
This emerges in its own time and own way. It cannot be rushed,
predetermined, or guided in a certain direction. When the client
is allowed to choose how, when and what for him or herself it
becomes part of who they are not just another task to complete.

Today, coaching
is a recognized discipline used by many professionals engaged
in people development. However, as a distinct profession it
is relatively new and self-regulating. There are six self-appointed
accreditation bodies for business and life coaching:
the International Coaching Council (ICC), the International
Coach Federation (ICF), the International Association of Coaching
(IAC), the Certified Coaches Federation (CCF), the European
Coaching Institute (ECI) and the International Guild of Coaches
(IGC). No independent supervisory board evaluates these programs
and they are all privately owned. These bodies all accredit
various coaching schools as well as individual coaches, except
the IAC and ECI which only accredits individuals.
We are licensed by Minnesota Office of Higher Education. In
addition, we are in the process of becoming accredited through
the Federal Department of Education. We are the only school
that is licensed through the state and we will be the first
accredited through the federal government.
As it stands
today, we are regulated by the state on a yearly basis. We follow
the guidelines established for post-secondary schools. In most
cases, this means that individuals can apply their coaching
hours towards an undergraduate or graduate degree. In addition,
once we obtain the federal accreditation, you will have access
to student aid and grants.
