Our Coach Training Retreat Weekend

It's hard to express how much my life has changed from this program. I knew I wanted to be a coach, learn how to run a coaching business, and be certified, however, I got more out of the program than I could have imagined. I had been searching for almost 10 years for a coaching certification program. I was working on developing my coaching business and noticed I would get stuck in certain areas. I thought that if I listened to enough podcasts and read enough coaching books that I would figure it out on my own. Sick of trying to figure out everything, I found CLCC. I was scared to make the financial investment because "what if I spend this money and I don't learn anything?" but knew I was sick of not moving forward in my coaching business. With that in mind, I took the chance on CLCC and I am so incredibly happy I did. I figured out what my process is so now I can rely on it to get me through my challenging moments, I found deep connections with others in the program (and created real friendships and potential business partners), and all the business knowledge/support I gained makes me feel confident I can market myself no matter how my business shifts. No matter where my life goes, or however I might choose to shift my business, this program has given me back my personal power and I can move forward in my life fully being me.

I feel greater love because I feel fully seen. I have brought back so much joy into my life by simply turning things - including work - back into play. Everything has a do-over, and if something goes wrong, I'm not afraid to lean into the hard conversation and figure out how to make it right. Being a coach is just as vulnerable as being a client. It's as scary to ask hard questions as it is to answer them, but unpacking those experiences leads us to even deeper connections. I feel so honored to be part of a profession that celebrates vulnerability.

When I signed up for CLCC I thought I was just going to learn how to be a coach and get certified. I had no idea the breath and depth of the experience I was about to embark on. From that very first night of the program, at the kick-off retreat, my life and the way I live it, began to change. For the last 10 months we have been educated, coached, supported, loved, encouraged and challenged to show up as the best versions of ourselves, guided to bring our individual talents and gifts to the world. Kate and the leadership team, that have held us close this year, are not just amazing, wonderful coaches, mentors and teachers, they also really care about us as students and the community we have created together. I am amazed at all the details that are present in the program to open our minds to a better way of coaching and helping others, especially through the process of learning how to help and understand ourselves first. The connections and friendships I have made in CLCC this year will be for life, they are deep and rich and full. I get emotional thinking about how much support I have received this year, both professionally and personally, on this journey to being a Life Coach. I have so much gratitude for the CLCC program and all that it has given me.
