What graduates of Coaching For Transformation are saying…

“The supportive community and experiential focus was so valuable.  There’s nothing better than learning by doing.  There was a tangible sense of non-judgmental, unconditional acceptance, and a holistic approach to human existence taking into account the soul and the spirit as well as the everyday physical reality.

On a professional level, as a psychotherapist, this course has added a new dimension to how I practice, not only in using many of the new skills I’ve learned, but also in how I see my clients as whole and resourceful.

On a personal level, I have my own sense of wholeness and most importantly more self-acceptance.  I’m more open with myself, more willing to take risks to put myself out there, and very excited about that.â€
-Sharon Taub

“In a word: wow! My experience with Coaching for Transformation has been, well, transformative. The way in which I work with people and the way I see myself has completely transformed as a result of this course.

I’ve seen such exponential growth in my intuition, awareness of the body, and my ability to see the perfection, elegance and beauty in every situation and in all people no matter their appearance.  The skills I learned have shifted the way I interact with my clients, my friends and family and especially myself. Without a doubt, I owe a large part of my success today as a coach to my work with Coaching for Transformation.â€
-John Dulworth

“I liked that your program gives us BOTH in person and phone experience.  This is one of the reasons I did CFT- the two experiences are SO different that I’m happy to have both under my belt. Also, I liked the continuity - same classmates, same teachers, throughout the program.  This made for a wonderful, and safe, learning environment.

I have changed the way I am asking questions, and the way I perceive things. Things that would anger me, now form questions for me, and looking at these questions, I am able to realize ‘hings are not always as they appear.’  I’ve gotten to know myself more, what matters to me, and learned how to take care of me. 

I coached a colleague recently on something that, 5 years ago, I forcefully TOLD her how to handle over a period of time, but nothing changed.  By listening to her deeper needs, SHE came to the realization she needed to take better care of herself, and in 3 short weeks, has completely remodeled herself, and actually willingly making time to do all the stuff I tried to force on her 5 years ago!â€
-Heather Markel

“I’m now a full-time coach so I think it’s fair to say that it’s changed my professional life completely. While I entered the program with a few coaching clients, the truth is I was going on intuition, instinct, and my life-experience up to that point. Because of the program, I was able to integrate those things (instinct, intuition, and life experience) with powerful skills and heightened awareness of the way the human heart unfolds to become an excellent coach. Today, I have a thriving practice and work in precisely the way I had hoped…a mix of phone and in-person sessions with some heavy days and some lighter days. It’s a successful business and, more important, the fulfillment of my own deepest yearning.

And therein lies the personal life changes. I often speak of my own transformation into a professional life coach as an example of stepping into my “sacred dance.†It’s rare to find and succeed at doing the thing you were born to do. And I define that as having the honor to hold someone’s heart for an hour or so and witness their own transformation and unfolding into a more fully-actualized human.â€
