Are you ready to create a brave and beautiful impact through the magic of group coaching?
Are you ready to create a brave and beautiful impact through the magic of group coaching?
Hey Coaches! Are you wanting a luscious, transformative experience for your clients AND you want to run a profitable coaching business? I hear you!
Working 1-2-1 is incredibly fulfilling. At the same time, there's only one of you, and you only have so many hours in a day. Cloning yourself may not be realistic.
What if I said there was an easier, more cost-effective option that maximizes all the goodness you have to offer? Would you be interested?
That’s where group coaching comes into action! Group coaching is a win-win for your business and your clients.
You can achieve greater impact in the kind of transformational space that only happens in a group setting. And, while the pricing is lower for your clients than one-on-one coaching, it's more profitable for you. Plus, you will leverage the untapped wisdom and support of your group members.
When you stop trading money for your time, and start creating a new depth of rich experiences, you can transform an existing business beyond your imagination.
I'm Christi, the CEO and founder of Awaken Coach Institute. I wanted to create this course for you because group coaching is my joy.
I was coaching one woman who told me her whole life story. She said, "I've never told this to anyone before." Later, I coached her best friend, who told me the same thing. I thought, "How sad! What if I could create an environment where best friends can lean on one another?"
I was TERRIFIED to start my first group. It was called "The Heroine's Quest" and it helped women to get brave and live their passions in a safe community. I set up six weeks of coaching, and I was literally trembling going into my first call. I was nervous about tech, nervous about marketing, nervous about leading the experience...
But, it was fantastic! With the women in that first course, we created such a magical environment. I used proven coaching skills so that it felt light and easy for me to follow the process. And those women are still friends years later.
I LOVE group coaching. It's part of my life purpose of creating communities of grace. It has an enormous ripple effect. And I'd love to teach you all the skills you need to run your own group. You can follow your passion too!
When done well, group coaching is fun and relaxing and invigorating. You take a topic you're passionate about, and work with like-minded people who are naturally attracted to the same thing.
With our proven group coaching process that builds on your current coaching skills, you discover how people can be so exceptional at helping and supporting each other.
I’d like to take the pressure around group coaching away from you and share with you my new course that will help you build on the coaching skills you have… so you can create the opportunities you're already dreaming about.
I’ve created the GROUP COACHING CERTIFICATION COURSE to help you master group coaching quickly and efficiently. This course is offered in English.
In fact, you can start the course on October 10th, 2023!
This 10-week course I’ve designed will help you gain maximum wonder and joy with your group coaching, right from your very first session. And it will provide you with 40 hours of training accredited by the ICF.
However, I won't stop there…
You’ll discover exactly what it takes to be successful in group coaching so that you can stop trading time for money, and start inviting your best clients into the kind of business you love.

YES! This is now an ICF-accredited course - when you complete the whole course, you receive a certificate for 40 Level 1 training hours meaning that you have shown up live for all 20 live class hours and completed all homework.
Our participants almost never miss a class. We become a very close-knit community and everyone is really looking forward to meeting. No one flies under the radar--everyone's presence is key.
A certificate of completion will only be granted if you attend at least 90% of the courses live. If you miss a class, you will watch the video recording and provide a written summary of your learning. If you attend less than 90% of the live classes, you will receive a letter of partial completion listing the hours that you did attend.
Your homework each week will be to actually design your group coaching course and get it out there into the world, which is so exciting! You will come to class each week with the progress you've made, and will run one segment of your group coaching experience with the rest of the community in class.
