Certification also requires receiving coaching for at least 6 months, in group and/or individual sessions, supervision. reading and writing, and a coaching practicum

Those not interested in certification can attend any or all weekends to pick up skills in particular areas of interest. Coaching skills and techniques add speed and power to your therapeutic work, spiritual guidance, teaching, or consulting.
