Dream Big Coaching Certification

Be empowered to lead others to unleash their ambitions.

There are people who are one coaching session away from radically changing the trajectory of their lives.

A Self-Guided Coaching
Certification Program

We all dream about making a difference in other people’s lives. Some of us are called to make a deliberate, focused impact through the work of coaching.

It’s what we’re all wired for - to make a real difference. More than just the desire, though, affecting change in other people’s lives is serious business, with core competencies and tools you can learn and implement. Are you ready to intervene and guide others to a different reality?

What’s Inside?

You might be wondering, can I really get trained and equipped to be an effective coach through an online program? Great question. The content is not knowledge for you to learn, but a framework to practice. As you go through the hours of video training, we recommend dozens of reflection exercises and activities to put the knowledge into practice. That's where this will come alive for you.

Growing a Coaching Business

It's one thing to feel empowered and have the tools, it's another to put them to use with real clients. We've learned a thing or two over the years about growing a coaching practice, so we want to share both some high level ideas as well as practical strategies to grow your coaching business.

Common Questions
01
How long is the training?

Realistically, it will take you a few weeks to do this properly. What you put in will determine what you get out of it.

There's over 3.5 hours of video and webinar content and there are also reflection questions and activities suggested throughout the training. We highly encourage you to take those seriously, which means pulling out a pen and paper to respond with your thoughts.

02
What do I do with my certification?

Well, it's up to you!  We hope it will do two things for you: give you the confidence and competence you need to make a big impact in people's lives. Also, we think this could be a valuable professional credential for you.

More than anything, we hope it helps you fulfill your calling to come alongside others to help them grow.

03
What sort of support will I get?

We've intentionally designed this to be fully virtual, rather than other coaching programs who might offer ongoing professional development, training, or contacts for business. This is intended to be a self-paced, self-guided virtual training.

04
What do I need to do to be considered certified?

We decided not to create a formal, robust credentialing system like many other coach training programs do with practicum hours and signoffs. We want this to be a gift to you, to empower you with the tools and the confidence to make a difference in the world.

“Bob came alongside me in ways I didn’t know I needed, and single handedly helped me accomplish a goal I had been putting off because of my executive schedule for years.”
