The Lifeforming Difference
Affordable, Accessible, and Achievable Coach Training
ACT is engineered to fit into your active schedule while providing the tools to earn a coaching income right as you train.
Affordable
Affordable coach training is defined not just by total cost, but by how you can earn a coaching income while going through training itself. ACT equips you to serve paying clients early on so your client work can offset your training investment.
Accessible
An integrated digital platform combining pre-recorded video & audio modules with live-stream group debriefs and supervised peer coaching appointments. Eliminates travel and lodging expenses while ensuring high-touch connection.
Achievable
Designed to mesh into your current responsibilities with approximately 4 hours per week of commitment. The practical skills you learn immediately enhance how you navigate your own life and help others navigate theirs.
Program Scope
16-Week In-Depth Training Process
ACT combines two intensive workshops, weekly group class sessions, peer coaching appointments, and direct one-on-one sessions with your master coach trainer.
