Discover Your Future in Coaching

Do you ever wonder what it’s really like to become an Integral Coach? Now you can find out firsthand!

In our new “Meet our Graduates” series, you’ll connect with alumni from our prestigious ICF-accredited Level 2 Professional Coaching Course who were once exactly where you are now – curious, questioning, and ready for something more.

Who this session is for

Your questions are welcome here.

This is the perfect place to be if you’re curious about taking one of our training programs, such as the Foundations of Coaching or the Professional Coaching Course, and if you’re interested in becoming certified as an Integral Coach®.

No matter your role, industry or previous experience, no coaching experience is required to begin.

  • Real experience with the time commitment and workload
  • Their real stories of how they are making an impact with Integral Coaching – from full-time coaching practices to enriching their existing careers
