Coach Training Intensive FAQs with Valorie Burton:

1. Who is this coach training event for?

   This intensive training course is for:

   • Aspiring coaches who want to be trained in proven methods for highly effective coaching
   • Those who are interested in incorporating the pioneering field of positive psychology (the academic study of optimal living, success, and well-being) into their coaching practice
   • Established coaches who are looking to build upon their existing knowledge and add to their coaching skills at an advanced level
   • Personal and executive coaches (that includes life coaches!)
   • Consultants, managers and others interested in learning powerful coaching skills

2. What will I learn?

   • A proprietary coaching method that empowers you to confidently conduct truly powerful coaching sessions every time
   • How to incorporate basic positive psychology-based principles into your coaching practice to enhance well-being and optimize client performance
   • Strategies to market your coaching practice effectively and profitably
   • How to attract and sustain a steady client base

3. Why should I consider this training program if I’ve already been through coach training?

   Many students graduating from coach training programs find themselves floundering in their efforts to attract clients and consistently coach in a way that accelerates client goals and progress, and leads to tangible results. If you have already completed training, and still find that you are not necessarily equipped to confidently handle some client scenarios or attract enough clients to build a sustainable business, this Coach Training Intensive is for you. You will learn powerful core skills that will enable you to establish a stronger foundation on which to coach at a higher level. The curriculum teaches critical, key techniques in an accelerated learning environment.

   You can learn powerful coaching techniques in one weekend. You can transform your existing skills in a dramatic way in just two days. I know, because my very first experience with coach training was a two-day intensive that launched a very successful coaching practice for me. Through the accelerated teaching of a small number of core critical skills combined with live demonstrations of the techniques, I was able to quickly learn skills that I continue to use today. That is why I am passionate about this program. I have developed this program to help you learn key skills quickly and develop a plan of action to adapt them into your coaching practice immediately, so that you can advance your career and business now.

4. Who will conduct the training?

   The lead trainer for this event will be Valorie Burton, a veteran personal and executive coach with a master’s degree in applied positive psychology from the University of Pennsylvania and the author of five personal development books.
