Inclusive Life Coaching

This program is not a foundational coaching certifcation process for new coaches. It’s an add-on certification for existing coaches who want to be certified as an equity-based provider. It is particularly powerful and useful for coaches and helping professionals who want to make an impact with their clients around equity issues.

The Inclusive Life Coaching Certification program goes beyond the basics of exploring and understanding diversity, equity, justice, and inclusion. The program not only delves deeper into key words, definitions, and frameworks, but also works toward holistic integration through practice and behavior change supported by one-on-one coaching sessions, a small cohort size, and a somatic practice throughout the program.

Again, there are no prerequisites other than are open to learning. We are honored to work with you wherever you are at in your understanding of equity and inclusion work.

That said, this certification is not for those who feel threatened or slighted when a cherished point of view is met by a new perspective. It’s for those who can enter this space as learners and teachers, welcoming both rigor and room for growth.

There are no prerequisites.

This program is created for experienced coaches and helping professionals. We also realize that many of you are doing excellent work as coaches without ever having been formally certified. This is a place for you too.

For certification, participants must attend 80% of in-person instructional (live learning) sessions and complete any asychronous learning. Beyond instructions, participants must exhibit a grasp of the learning through intergration within their practice and work.

Live sessions will happen over Zoom at a time that works best for all or most of the cohort and the instructors. Asynchronous learning materials will be shared on Teachable, our online learning platform. We may also share materials, information, and evalutions through email and Google Suite products (forms, docs, etc.).

Yes! Because of the relational nature of this work, we ask that you prioritize live attendance. At the same time, we respect your parameters and life demands. Recordings, along with the rest of the curriculum, will be available on our online learning platform.

To the best of our ability, we will accommodate the needs of participants. When you register, you will have an opportunity to request accommodations that make your experience supportive.

You’ll work directly with the faculty leading the live learning sessions, where they may answer questions about the topics being discussed. You’ll also have time with faculty during your collaboratively scheduled one-on-one coaching sessions.  If you’re looking to speak to a specifc faculty member, you’ll have the opporutnity to be coached by each faculty member at least once throughout the program. With guest instructors or speakers, you’ll have access to them during their live sessions only. If you need adminstrative help at any time or have specifc questions or requests for meeting with facutly or guest instrcutors, Laura and Christina will be the best people to reach out to and will get back to you in 1-3 business days.

The short answer is not yet.  However, plans and steps are in process to obtain accreditation in the future.

We offer a sliding scale financial commitment between $6,000 and $8,000 for the program. Once you choose your financial commitment amount, we’ll bill you for that ammount based on your preferred payment option. We have three payments options: full payment, 2 monthly payments, and 4 montly payments. If you choose the 2 or 4 monthly payment options, you will be billed for the amount you committed in equal parts. For example, if you choose to make a $7,250 commitment over 4 months, you would pay $1,812.50 each month for the first four months of the program.

We do offer an early bird pricing option of $5,000 through March 31, which is eligible for all payment options.

We also offer scholarships. If you would like to learn more about our scholarships for this program, please contact Laura.

Refunds are available for 48 hours after initial purchase (applicable to full payment and partial payment/payment plan options). This program is limited in the number of participants so each slot is precious.  Once the program has begun, cancelleations will not be accepted, as it is expected that each participant will complete it unless an emergency arises.

We welcome any additional questions you may have! Please reach out to Laura with your question(s) and she or another faculty member will get back to you in 1-3 business days.
