Coach Training:

I often receive questions from people wanting to become coaches. Here are some resources:

I got my training through Coaching From Spirit, www.coachingfromspirit.com. My instructors there were Sherry Hudson and Carolyn Wilson-Elliot. They created the curriculum that we used at Coaching From Spirit, and they have since launched their own training program, Quantum Spirit International (QSI): www.quantumspirit.net. I highly recommend their training – the instructors are talented, warm, and inspiring, and the curriculum is unparalleled.

A great website for exploring all current training programs available:
