What Our Participants Say

"The Group Mentor Coaching Program for Credentialing came highly recommended to me, and I'm so glad I chose it over other options. The methodology included a deep dive into the new ICF core competencies alongside a live group format to try out the new skills and get live feedback. I really appreciated this evaluation process and witnessing others practicing the skills. I met amazing coaches, and we still keep in touch. My coaching style has evolved to be more dialed into what each unique client seeks overall and in each session. My ACC designation was renewed with ease following the training. I highly recommend this mentor coaching program!"

Jen
"So glad I discovered Corey’s program while preparing for my ICF credential. I am now credentialed and made some lifelong friends in the industry through taking his course. His course work is very thorough and will more than prepare you for the exam. I not only felt very prepared to take the ICF exam but was equipped to become a confident coach, now coaching women (and men) in 6 countries and counting. "
