The course also introduces practical planning for a coaching niche, offer, and practice.

This intermediate course contains five extended video lessons totaling approximately 3 hours and 4 minutes. Each section includes a downloadable workbook, practice pack, toolkit, or starter kit. Use the lessons and materials to prepare role-plays, reflect on your approach, and plan how you will apply the tools responsibly.

Your five-part learning path

1. Coaching foundations review: revisit client-centered coaching, ethics, confidentiality, scope of practice, boundaries, trust, presence, and professional communication. Use this review to ground your approach before moving into more detailed client work.

2. Communication practice: explore active and reflective listening, purposeful questions, respectful challenge, client resistance, and emotional moments. Practice responding with empathy and clarity through role-play.

3. Frameworks and session design: work with GROW, CLEAR, and OSCAR models, session flow, intake forms, readiness checks, and client homework. Explore a sample session and plan four-week or eight-week coaching programs.

4. Client tools: explore values clarification, mindset and belief tools, habit-change coaching, confidence exercises, future-self visualization, accountability trackers, and progress reviews. Consider how each tool supports awareness, action, and reflection.

5. Practice and business planning: identify a coaching niche and ideal client, develop a basic brand and offer, prepare discovery calls, and explore testimonials, agreements, pricing, packages, and a simple practice plan.

Who this course suits

This course is suited to developing coaches who already understand coaching basics and want more structure in their sessions. Trainers, mentors, teachers, managers, and HR professionals with foundational coaching knowledge may also find the tools useful.

Bring a notebook, willingness to practice role-plays, and a commitment to ethical, client-centered coaching. Work through the materials at your own pace and use feedback from practice to refine your approach. The business section supports planning; it does not promise clients or earnings.
