We do coaching differently.
We're looking for loving, brave people who are seeking spiritual alignment, belonging and bravery – not just a coaching qualification.
When I'm with someone who is congruent within themselves and who has expert listening skills, I can grow and change and thrive. I feel so much more relaxed, known and loved. I find myself wishing everyone around me had those skills – and I feel as though we need them now more than ever.
I've been through hundreds of hours of coach training, and I wish someone had just started out with the deep stuff right away.
At the beginning, I learned a lot about action, goals, progress, success – and there is nothing wrong with that. Learning those skills helped me in my career. But, I wish someone had taught me earlier on about embodied spiritual and identity alignment. It would meant my goals had more meaning, and my actions were deeply engrained and sustainable. It's taken me more than 10 years to put the pieces together.
I feel most alive when I'm passing along the universal principles that have been transformational in my own life. The principles that allowed me to forgive, to see myself and others clearly, to be true to myself and my values, and to love beyond what I thought possible. I want that so badly for you! And I want us to create a ripple effect across the world together.
I promise you, this is not your average, transactional-level coaching course. This program is for the few, the daring, the ones who long to be more. This course goes deep.
When you become part of building a world where self-compassion and empathy are the norm, you become a braver and more loving human being. As your inner reality shifts, you'll notice changes in your environment. And that change will extend to everyone who comes in contact with you.
Our teaching faculty cares deeply about creating a cohesive world which starts with depth of presence, solid connection to your values, and alignment between your spirituality and your actions.
If you're looking for deep-seated transformation, and not "just another certification", this is the course for you.
We will only be accepting TEN students on this cohort, because we want our students to have a personalized, expansive experience. We care deeply about you, and want to honor your presence with our undivided attention.
With great love,
Christi Byerly, MCC – Founder & CEO of Awaken Coach Institute

This is the right course for you if...
You want to help build a more compassionate world
You want people to feel and know that being listened to deeply and with love can help us all become braver and more compassionate.
You believe listening with love can open the door to possibility
You've experienced the magic that happens when a truly grounded person listens with love to another. You want to become that person.
You’ve had dormant dreams but not a lot of clarity
Through this experience, you’ll know what makes you so valuable and why your contribution is important. The soul doesn’t care about the scale – whether you are reaching five people or five thousand. It only cares that you are showing up as yourself. The outcome will take care of itself.
You have a calling to help people reach their higher potential
You're the person people want to tell their stories to. You love to listen, and it's frustrating to know that you could really help people transform – you're just not sure how yet.
You want to unleash your own brave inner warrior
You're ready for a shift in your own life. You want more self compassion, more community, and to live more alive and brave and loving than ever before.
You want people to live from their soul and passion
You know what it feels like to be scared, and to feel trapped by the expectations of others. You broke free (or you will in this course) and are ready to walk people into the light.

You're just doing it to get a certification

You're hesitant about whether you're willing to love others the way they are right now.
In this course, we go to a deep level, where you come out transformed, and your relationships are transformed, and your ability to lead is transformed. Those kinds of changes only happen in a space of complete love and acceptance. You have to be willing to do your own work around this! If you think you might judge others in the group, please don't sign up.

Is this program accredited?

What’s the difference between accreditation, credentialing and certification?
The International Coaching Federation has two major roles: (1) they accredit training programs (2) they credential individual coaches.
When you receive a certification from a Level 1 & Level 2 accredited training program, such as this one, you can use your certificate to apply for the ICF's credential.
Our course is accredited for more than the training hours you need for your ACC credential, and you can use our course hours toward your PCC. With mentor coaching, which is included in the program, you'll be well on your way to completion. Once you complete 100 hours of coaching, which we will support you in doing, you can apply for the ICF credential and take their exam, which our program prepares you for.
