A Professional, Internationally-Recognized Coach Training
LifeCare Coach Training equips you to help others unlock their full potential whether you are working in private practice as a Coach, using coaching skills as a line manager to help develop those you lead, or using coaching skills as a volunteer caring for others in your community.
We offer several different levels of training to support your goals, and are committed to supporting you after you complete training as you pursue those goals.
We offer four development tracks:
- Entrepreneur: For those who wish to start and lead a Coaching practice
- Business: For those who want to coach others in the workplace
- Ministry: For those who want to incorporate coaching into their life and ministry
- Forward!: For those who wish to apply to serve as a Coach with The Forward Foundation
“…our findings not only show that coaching and training effectively enhance performance, but also emphasize the beneficial effects of coaching on clients’ goal attainment.”
