Coach Anne S. Kosem, CPC, CLC I was at a stand-still. I had just sold the shares to my family business and was living with the idea of opening my own business. WCI has made it possible for me to have a career as a life coach. This course gave me the knowledge, experience, the instructional support and most importantly the confidence to step up and claim my place in the life coaching field as a professional. Instructors were very knowledgeable in their field and really practiced what they preached in terms of how they treated us as students and coaches. In this course, the art of example was as important to me as the materials we were given to study. I will definitely recommend WCI to anyone interested in a coaching career. You have a very professional and effective program! |

Coach Jacquie Ross, CPC, YPF My training as a life coach has opened up a new world of possibilities. It has also helped me to become a better organizer. I have learned how to truly listen to my clients and help them to create a vision for their space and their lives. I now have an additional valuable skill set that sets me apart and enables me to serve moms worldwide. What contributed to my success was excellent WCI trainers. It was wonderful to listen to the different styles of coaching. Also, the training materials and online business building resources were excellent and I continue to refer to them today. I am so glad that I chose WCI for my professional life coach training. |

Coach Mike Reis, CPC, CAC, CCRC, MCC When I started my training at WCI, I wanted to start my own business helping others struggling with addiction recovery and transition out of a successful 30 year career as a sales executive with some of the world’s largest companies and best known brands. It may be an over-used phrase, but it's so true when it comes to this course....it is "life changing"! Not only do I have a fantastic start on my business as a result of this training, but it improved the quality of my personal life forever. I attribute the success of this course to the leadership at the top of this organization in Ally, and the outstanding instructors I had the pleasure of working with each week in Cheryl, Angela and Kathy. When you combine this with first class materials and resources, it's an unbeatable combination for success. |

Coach Bonnie Christensen, CPC, YPF When I started my coach training I had my M.A. in Marriage and Family, and had worked professionally as a counselor and high school teacher. For the last 7 years I have been a stay-at-home mom working part time as a speaker for parenting groups and Women’s or Youth conferences. I have been mentoring and coaching youth and women for my entire adult life. I have gained confidence that my expertise and life experiences are valuable to others and worthy of being paid. I have gained business knowledge that I have not been trained in before. I have gained a network of coaches through buddy coaching. I have gained understanding for the need of niche marketing. |
 |
Coach Susannah McAlwey, CPC, CWC (Australia) I wanted further qualifications and wellness coaching strategies. I now have the confidence to coach clients, hold workshops and start building my wellness coaching business. The information and materials provided in this course were outstanding and extremely helpful – everything I believe is required to help begin a coaching business. |

Coach Christoher Spaulding, CPC, CLC, CCC I was 45, semi-retired and looking for some mid-life, higher purpose, pro-social career option that leveraged my skills and strengths. The course opened my mind to a vast range of possibilities within close reach. What contributed to my success was WCI’s great methodology and structure, clear concise lessons, helpful and appropriate follow-up modules. |
 |
Coach Christine Ferguson, CPC, CSC I was working on growing my business as an author and speaker. Through a spiritual guidance session, I discovered my life purpose as a spiritual teacher. Spiritual coaching seemed like a great addition to my business that would allow me to live my life purpose while helping others. This course provided a solid model for me to use when working with clients. The information not only allows me to work with clients one-on-one, I can also integrate the teachings into my keynotes and workshops. Taking this course has also increased my credibility and value. More importantly, my clients will benefit from my skills and knowledge. |
 |
Coach Mihaela Murariu, CPC, CLC I switched not only occupation, but countries, even continents. I was looking for an opportunity to help my husband grow his business, but at the same time have my own. Thanks to him, I found my calling – being a life coach for athletes. Taking the course at WCI was my next step to take for a life coaching career. I consider myself very lucky in considering WCI as my school for my new career. I learned a lot, improved my coaching skills, I got great tools, a lot of resources, a great business plan, and some good ideas about marketing my business. I had great teachers and wonderful class-mates. Interactive instruction, buddy coaching, in class coaching, materials, teachers, and all the support I needed; I got it. |
 |
Coach Tedi Parsons, CPC, CCC I am the owner of my own business, Vantage Career Solutions, and knew that I needed something more to make my business grow and be successful. On the suggestion of a colleague I looked into career coaching to add more substance to my current business. By taking the WCI Foundational Teleclass I have been able to incorporate the great information, training and resources, provided throughout the course, in my everyday business. Success can be contributed to the great instructors, who all brought a new and fresh perspective to class, the great materials / resources provided in the WCI Student Center and the relationships developed with my fellow classmates. |

Coach Tess Landey, CPC, YPF (US & South Africa) I was just beginning my coaching practice. Through this course, my awareness and confidence have grown immensely. I now have a very solid knowledge of what coaching really IS and what it is not. The course work was actually illuminating to do – it was invaluable for learning the nuts and bolts of the coaching modality. I now feel very certain of my ability to coach effectively and powerfully. The materials are excellent – very rich in information. The course work led me through all the areas I wasn’t sure about to begin with and were just challenging enough without being overwhelming. I felt the whole time like whoever had put them together really understood what I’d needed to know to be able to be a great coach and what inner obstacles I needed to overcome. Even though I did the self-study course, I felt very supported by the material and the ‘consciousness’ of the course. I loved being able to work at my own speed and in my own way, and I really loved the abundance of material available to help me – the forms, the information about coaching systems, websites, etc., etc. There is SO much that is valuable available here and it would have taken me a lot of time and effort to find it otherwise. |

Dr. Andrea Dauber, CPC (US & Germany) The coaching training opens up great new career opportunities. For example, I conduct coaching workshops and seminars for my home university in Germany. Now I have a better standing in fee negotiations, and I can compete more effectively with other coaches. I am negotiating with the university about a summer program in 2013 which includes 5 workshops to be held in 2 weeks. Having the WCI certificate helps tremendously with this. Moreover, I can also take on individual clients now which I was not trained to do before. I am looking to build coaching relationships with my PhD supervisor’s current PhD candidates. All in all, the training at WCI has greatly improved my business and career opportunities and I am happy that I decided to take the chance and become a student at WCI! The WCI model is so convincing, I would like to go ahead and get my MCC. All components of the WCI training were extremely helpful and I would not want to miss one single one of them. The trainers were great and very helpful with the in-class coaching. Their feedback was always eye-opening. All materials provided were on point and very detailed. |

Coach Magda Theodate, CPC, CCC I was considering making some changes in my life and career, but hadn’t yet taken any steps towards my objectives. Before I started training with WCI, I actually thought I knew enough to become a career coach without any formal training! Thanks to the training course, I have overcome my own ignorance and gained a thorough understanding of the need for professional training in order to best serve my future clients in career coaching. Further, I took a leave of absence from my job, went back to school full-time for a post graduate degree, moved to a new country, and started coaching more actively. Today, I’ve managed to take my coaching business from an idea to reality by following the WCI Model. |

Coach Dora Carpenter, CLC, CRC When I started my coach training I was working as an assistant director/family service counselor at a cemetery assisting families with burial arrangements. |

Coach Crystal Armstead, CLC, CSC I knew I wanted to do healing and energy work, but really no clue as to how to actually incorporate it into my own life. I was scared and unsure of my ability to be able to help people on their paths. Now I’m not scared anymore. I’m more confident. I understand that I’m not alone in on my path and I know without a doubt that I can help individuals. I’ve learned the “tricks of the trade” so to speak and regularly do some of the exercises on my own and can clear my own limiting beliefs and be my own cheerleader now. I finally know how to incorporate the work I want to do with helping people and feel confident in knowing that I can help them find their own answers as well. It’s changed relationships all around me as I’m starting to ask people more questions that get them talking and then they have their “ah ha” moments. I really enjoyed all of it. It was a very well rounded course in all that it included. Being able to print out all the materials and follow along really helped me soak up the material and of course, the buddy coaching was amazing. I enjoyed listening to everyone else on the calls as well, because I took something out of every session I heard. You did a FABULOUS job and I would definitely take the course or future courses over again from you! |

Coach Heather Beasley, CLC When I started my WCI Life Coach/Professional Coach course, I had just made the big decision to leave Corporate America and pursue my life-long dream of starting my own company. Enrolling in WCI was the first-step that led me to make my life-changing decision to pursue my personal and professional dreams and to work towards my life-long vision. The WCI Course has dramatically impacted my personal and professional life! It has given me the skills and resources that will equip me to be a fantastic life and professional coach. Through taking the course, I feel as though I have gained an immense amount of clarity and insight on both my personal and professional life. The course was amazing and surpassed my expectations! Overall, WCI has enabled me to design a clear blue-print for where I’m going to take my business. I’m very grateful to have had the opportunity to learn at WCI and to have benefited from our wonderful instructor, classmates, and course material! Thank you WCI! I believe that the WCI course is so successful due to the knowledge and teaching approach that is used. The telecourse instruction and teaching is done in such a way that you feel as though you are in a college classroom setting in each and every class. The course material was superb!! I also loved the interaction that the course offers with all of the other coaching classmates. After completing this course, I feel more than prepared to start my coaching practice. Thank you WCI! |

Coach Royce Oliver, CLC I was ready to fulfill new goals of becoming a Certified Life Coach through an amazing coach certification program. Becoming a Life Coach has been a goal of mine for years and finally it came true in a beautiful way in 2009 with WCI. I wanted to grow spiritually and professionally and become the most adept Life Coach I possibly could be. |
 |
Coach Yehya Kheireldin, CPC, CBC, CCC, CEC (West Asia & Middle East) I was about to start my own business in career coaching when I decided to state this course. Through this course I have become more self-aware of my capabilities. This course has taught me all about the career coaching business and helped me as an individual perform better. The design of the course and its content were key contributors to my progress. Our mentors were exceptional coaches, transferring their knowledge of the years of experience. |
 |
Coach Alex Philip, CLC When I started this course I was an Area Manager for the Neat Company. The course has given me an opportunity to truly understand my true potential as a life coach. I believe the director of WCI, the instructors, and all the materials have contributed to my success. |
 |
Coach Mary Choicoine, CPC, CLC I am already a consultant and have developed a coaching a process. I felt it was important for my clients that I become certified and ensure that I was providing the best service possible to my clients. I think it is important to always be the student enhancing and expanding my personal knowledge for service to others. I am more secure in the work that I will do with clients. They have the right to know that the person they are working with is well trained and focusing on their achievement with appropriate tools. I was impressed with the lessons provided assisting an individual in setting up their business. This is critical information to someone who is just starting out and hasn’t often thought of the logistics of having a successful business. |

Coach Dana Bosley, CPC When I joined WCI I had just lost my job of 40 years in humanitarian work and although I knew a certain way how to help people I had no background at all in business or how to start a business, especially an internet business. However, this was one of the reasons I chose this course was their promise to include a business builder program in the class. This program far exceeded my expectation and dreams. If they can help someone like me who was computer and business savvy challenged they can help anyone. This opportunity to learn new skills to help people, something I love to do, was a God-send. The course not only taught me new and tangible skills but it also helped my personal growth tremendously. I was very, very impressed. The course was a well-rounded course. The instructors were excellent and gave real value in each class. The class notes were great and the assignments and extra tools and materials gave clarity and really got you thinking and put skin on the classes. The practice coaching sessions and mentoring gave confidence and empowerment to my ability to be a quality coach. And the business materials were exactly what I needed and took me from scratch to an up and running coaching business. Great course and well worth the money. Thank you WCI. |

Coach David Platt, CLC, MCC I had been a school psychologist for 27 years, and wanted a new career. Life coaching was a perfect choice. I know have the opportunity to go into a business for myself which of course, has its set of pros and cons. It gives me the opportunity to start over in an exciting new field. The materials were presented in a clear, consistent fashion. There was ample opportunity for guidance from the instructor, who was helpful in answering all of the questions that I had. I have taken a few self study courses. This has by far been the best! *David enjoyed the course so much he upgraded to the teleclass! |
 |
Coach Jill Huggett, CPC, CCC I had just resigned from my position as a management executive. I made a commitment to starting my own coaching business. Registering for this course was one of the first things I did in starting my business. My stress has decreased. My excitement for my work has increased. I have the blessing of flexibility to be with my kids and join them at their activities. And I have met many happy people in the coaching world which I find very encouraging. |
 |
Coach Ann G. Wolovits, CPC, CRC I have practiced as a psychotherapist for the past 17 years and was looking to do something different but in the same area of helping people. I am ready to market in a much different way now! |
 |
Coach Marjorie Burciaga, CPC, CCC, CRC I have my own image and wardrobe business and felt like by being a certified coach I would have more to offer my clients as a whole. I feel validated in what I can offer clients. And I feel like this course allows me to be a better communicator in all aspects of my life. |

Coach Veronica Slater, CLC, CCRC Finding your purpose in life is attached to living your best life. When I registered for the WCI training course, I thought that I was just going to get trained for coaching. With this training course I have truly found my God given purpose and I am excited about living out my destiny. God has a plan for each one of us. Find yours though this program or through a graduate of WCI. It's your time to get free from the day to day grunge of a 9 to 5 and live your dream doing what you were born to do! |
 |
Coach Meagan Saum, CPC, CLC, CAC I was in the stage of my career where I was successful and felt I was so close to my purpose but not quite there. I feel renewed and invigorated to set and meet my goals and move forward in my vision with my Animal Assisted Coaching Facility. The materials are very easy to read and the workbook is made to not just do assignments but to realign the way you think about yourself. The course itself reenergized me to get my butt moving and no matter how busy I am in my life right now my intentions will only manifest if I put the actions out to achieve them. |
 |
Coach Evan Wood, CPC, CEC I am a university professor with a growing consulting practice. I was getting more requests for coaching, and I wanted to develop my coaching skills and practice to ensure that I was optimizing my value to my clients as well as creating more opportunities to coach. This course has rounded out my experience and education with a solid credential that gives potential clients confidence in my skills and abilities as a coach. The course materials provided by WCI are clear, concise, and packed with valuable insights. |
 |
Coach Crystal Wells, CLC, CWC, CAC, MCC The course was FANTASTIC! The course gave me worlds of confidence. |
 |
Coach Margaret Jackson, CPC, CRC When I started the course I had a lot going on in my life. I had recently loss my son, and unfortunately knew what it was like to need help! To help myself I began helping others and found that I liked it! It seemed to be what I was meant to do. If I was going to continue on this path, I wanted to do it the right way. I wanted to learn more, get the appropriate credentials, and grow. That is why I came to WCI. This course was amazing. It helped me take a closer look at myself and my needs. This was done as a result of readings, exercises and practice coaching sessions. This work was all done to give us the tools needed to help others. |
 |
Coach Cathy Wardzala, CPC, CLC, CWC I was a residential real estate broker and had just made the decision to go into coaching but had a solid business background in corporate, nonprofit and self-employment. This course was very practical, thorough and inspiring. The materials were very on target and thorough. They will be good resources for me to refer to as I work with my clients! |
 |
Coach Shari Murray, CPC, CLC, YPF, CRC When I started this course I was a stay at home Mom with two middle-school-age kids. I had left my career 15 years prior with the birth of my son. My business was just an idea, nothing more. The opportunity for my business has changed because it exists now. At the completion of the course I already have two paying clients only because I was able to build my business at the same time I was developing my skills so I was ready to go right away. My life has changed because I am doing what I love to do and getting paid to do it. I am redefining myself after years of staying at home. The program as a whole contributed to my success. First off the materials were very focused and applicable to everything I do as a coach. The instruction was very personal, both as a feeling, and how the instructors provided examples from their own practice as a coach. Buddy coaching both in and out of class allowed me to practice our skills right away and get immediate feedback on our progress and any areas that I needed to work on. The addition of the Business Builder Program was so valuable. It broke down the creation of a business into easy steps so you didn’t get overwhelmed. |

Coach Ana Vilas Boas Smith, CLC, CSC, CCMC I am a home full time mom and wife. This opportunity has made me feel alive again, more active and fulfilled. I feel like my dreams are more tangible and achievable now. |
 |
Coach Jeremy Cid, CPC, CRC I had found out that I was retiring (prematurely) from the military due to side effects from deployments and injuries I had sustained. I was unsure of the direction my life would take because I had been career military. Being a certified professional as a coach provides the easiest answer to the questions, “What makes you qualified to be an expert on relationships?” Completing the course gives me a greater sense of confidence in my ability to help others in their relationships. Having a certification also allows for people to take me seriously, more quickly than if I did not have the certification. The materials in the student resource center provide me with an armory from which to draw the most appropriate tool for the task at hand with any given client. |
 |
Coach Satina Scott, CLC, CSC, CBEL I had training and experience in regular counseling and spiritual counseling, and had operated a part-time spiritual counseling practice for many years with varying levels of success, but I couldn’t create the kind of consistent client contact or income I wanted, and I had a very hard time defining what it was I even did, a very common problem of those trying to do spiritual work. This is the most powerful thing I’ve ever done for myself professionally, and that includes graduate school! Having the structure and magic of the coaching process to add to what I was already doing is, I believe, the missing piece to me being able to do what I am meant to do in this world. And this school isn’t just about training coaches, it’s about creating successful, truly effective coaches, and there is a real difference. I am more clear than ever on what I’m here to do, how to do it, and how very valued my contribution is in the world. Not only that, but I have a solid foundation in business building that will help me bring my work to the world! I have felt completely supported throughout the course, and I know that my instructor is completely invested in my success, not only as a student in the course, but as a professional coach. She has the most encouraging, patient, and truly empowering approach and energy I’ve ever experienced in an instructor. I can’t say enough about her, this program, or the coaching process in general. It was the mission of the school that got me first. It’s obvious that the program is not just about filling a need for coach training, it’s about making a lasting positive impact on the world. It’s also about making coach training affordable, something I have not seen anywhere else. And I looked forward to every course module. The materials gave me a step-by-step understanding of what, to me, was a rather undefinable process, and the assistance in setting up my business was absolutely priceless. I had a good amount of experience with marketing, and I still learned so much that it transformed the way I do business. The additional resources supplied in the Student Resource Center were truly valuable, cutting-edge materials I can use throughout my business career. No filler here! I was especially grateful that creativity and intuition were foundational to everything we did, and I was very surprised at how much more awareness I had about not only my work, but myself personally when I finished the course! |

Coach Miriam Shouldice, CLC, YPF I am totally rejuvenated and invigorated as a result of training with WCI and my instructor's mentoring. I now have the confidence in my abilities, the training as a coach, and an understanding of business and marketing setup. You really get the tools you need for the best start in the coaching business! I believe that every aspect of the training was carefully prepared, and easy to understand. In this field it is especially important to learn from others and at WCI there is ample opportunity to do this through the modules, self-study, in-class coaching, and ‘buddy coaching’. WCI has payment plans options suited to all budgets with tele-classes and self-study classes and a wide range of niche certifications to choose from. I really would urge you to think about WCI as it far exceeded my expectations. The experience was wonderful and life changing. I know how to go about building my coaching practice with a firm belief in myself. My instructor helped me understand how life experience counts for so much and I felt she really cared for each of her students. |
