What others have to say

Coaching Tools for Healthcare Bundle gave me a better understanding of CBT, MI, and the coach approach. I learned techniques to connect the will and the way to boost motivation, how to use the I am statement, and how to go further under the iceberg by asking what will that give you.
Annamaria Laidlaw
Health & Wellness Coach
Coaching Tools for Healthcare Bundle helped me feel more confident to tell people what I am doing in coaching. It will help you build your own language around coaching and how meaningful it can be in your life.
Mary Grace Lagasca
Occupational Therapist
I gave Dive Into Coach Approach® Level 1 a 10 out of 10. It helped me understand how coaching differs from OT and when to use each. I now feel more confident structuring sessions, creating meaningful action items, and using this approach with a variety of patients.
Susan Petroski-Randolph
Occupational Therapist
Dive Into Coach Approach® Level 1 was exactly what I was looking for. I gave it 10 out of 10. It reminded me to stop giving solutions and let clients lead. Shifting to open questions and allowing silence has changed how I coach and support action planning.
