The Certified Flourishing Coach Model™ is evidence-based and practitioner focused, meaning that it is based on science and psychology. “Evidence-based” describes an approach to medicine, education, and other disciplines that emphasizes the practical application of the findings of the best available current research. Essentially, it means that a concept or practice is supported by a large amount of scientific research.

So, when we describe the Flourishing Coaching Model™ as evidence-based, we mean that we are taking the best available current research around people, change, and specifically how people flourish, and practically applying it with a coaching lens.

A GOOD FIT FOR ME?

Having literally trained and certified thousands of coaches from dozens of countries all around the world, from all backgrounds and philosophies and paradigms and professions, we have noticed what it takes to become a successful coach who has significant impact. You may be asking yourself what is needed to make it as a coach. Here’s what we’ve noticed makes a GREAT coach:

A GOOD LISTENER

One of the greatest myths is that coaches do most of the talking. They don’t. They spend the majority of their time LISTENING and asking great questions that lead their clients to the answer they are looking for. If you’re a great listener, you would be a great coach!

Optimistic

Coaches see opportunities where others see obstacles. They empathize with their clients and where they are at, but they are also able to move them to see past limitations to possibilities. If you have a way about you that sees solutions to problems, you would be amazing at this!

Growth Mindset

Great coaches know how to listen to their inner voice. They are intuitive and reflective. They know they don’t have all the answers but look for a way to find them. They are committed to their own personal growth and move others towards a growth mindset as well.

Educated

Your life experience makes you an amazing coach already, and so when you combine that with the evidenced-based practices you can learn in the Certified Flourishing Coaching™ model, you will have a framework for your coaching that will set your clients up for success.

  Certified Flourishing Coaching is an absolute game-changer! 🌟 I found them for the life coaching and I have stayed for the continued growth. From the moment I stepped into their community, I felt like I'd found my tribe. The warm welcome I received was like a breath of fresh air in a world that often feels disconnected.

What sets Certified Flourishing Coaching apart is their unwavering commitment to the success of all. It's not just about individual growth; it's about fostering a collective journey towards success.

  Joining flourishing has seriously changed my life. Having a coach walk with me helping me has helped me discover my strengths and bring them to the forefront. I realized I was capable of setting goals even if I was sick and they've been a support of encouragement especially on the tough days! It's given me community that supports me and I've been able to accomplish things I didn't think I'd ever accomplish while now starting my own company and becoming an inspirational speaker!

  Before joining the Flourishing Coaching Program, I was so shut down and I knew I needed to invest in myself. I knew there was more for me than what I was living.

After one year in the program, I feel like a whole new me - a way better version of myself.  It dealt with so many of my limiting beliefs and I had breakthrough after breakthrough.  But it did take me several months before what was transforming inside began to show outwardly - and I started stepping out to share much of what I’ve been learning over the last several years to hopefully help others.  I feel equipped and supported in a way I never have before.   And now going into my 2nd year with Flourishing, I’m working towards building my coaching business, step by step with their help and guidance.

One of the best things about the program is the community.  I’ve never been around so much encouragement and people who just love you as you are, but who also challenge you to be your best.   The culture is just phenomenal.

I’m so very thankful for the Flourishing Coaching Program!  It has opened my eyes to see potential and possibilities!

  I enjoyed the mix interaction with people who were in person and also those attending virtually. It is evident the facilitators are highly knowledgeable in what they are teaching. The discovery in just a short weekend has already impacted how I will go forward in life. Not just in my personal business but in all my relationships. Thank you!
