Building a More Empathic World

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 keep wishing that everyone around me had those skills--we need them now more than ever.

I've been through hundreds of hours of coach training, and I wish that someone had just started out with the deep stuff right away. At the beginning, I learned a lot about action, goals, progress, success--nothing wrong with those. And learning those skills did help me and my career. But I wish someone had embodied spiritual and identity alignment, so that 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.

Over the years, I find that I feel most alive when I'm passing along the universal principles that have been so 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 for us to have a big ripple effect together.

So, watch out! This is not your average, transactional-level coaching course. This is for the few, the daring, the ones who long to be more. This course goes deep.

When you participate in building a world where self-compassion and empathy are the norm, you can become a braver and more loving human being. As your inner reality shifts, you'll start to notice changes in your environment. It will extend to everyone who comes in contact with you.

Our faculty cares deeply about creating a cohesive world; which starts with a depth of presence, a solid connection to your values, and alignment between your spirituality and your actions.

If you're interested in deep-seated transformation, and not "just another certification", this is the course for you.

With great love,

Christi's Signature

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 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’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.

  • Awaken Coach Institute

    “Absolutely enjoying the framework and that we started coaching right from the start! Also love the close connection to the others, that groups get mixed up and we get to coach one another frequently. Nothing feels more valuable and fruitful than actual practice!”

  • Awaken Coach Institute

    “Dear Christi, Thank you! I have been enjoying the classes so much. I love your style of teaching--practical, full of examples and fun too! I had a sneak peak at all the great information provided and will go through them in greater detail this week. I am getting a lot out of all the great resources so far and I look forward to seeing you again on Friday. You must have heard the saying, "When the student is ready, the teacher arrives". I feel this way with you! Like I was just so wanting a course like this and you are exactly the type of person I was looking for to learn from! ”

    “'I am enjoying the training I am receiving very much. I am enjoying the interactions with my fellow classmates and faculty. They are really great people (we could be divided by space, culture, environment, experiences but we really do have great synergy together - I suppose this is thanks to the atmosphere that has been created by Christi as CEO of Awaken Coach Institute). I am finding it very useful because it is helping me be more mindful of who I am as a person and of others including their identity, environment, experiences, values and beliefs.”

My experience was completely positive so my review follows suit - HIGHLY recommend!”

This is NOT the right course for you if...

• You're just doing it to get a certification

Don't sign up just for the credential. Sign up because yes, you would love to acquire coaching skills and you want to experience in your bones what it's like to live courageously and make the world a more loving place.

• You are 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.

FAQ

These are some of the questions people most frequently ask us:

Why do I have to apply to be in the course?

Because we only accept 10 people in each cohort. Each of you is hand-chosen for your commitment to love and courage. 

Is my transportation to Watamu Bay included in the price of the program?

No. Airfare to Malindi and transportation to Crystal Bay Resort Watamu are not included.

Does the All-In-One Coach Certification Program also include some guidance on how to start our own coaching business? 

Yes! First of all, you will start coaching real clients outside of class starting within the first couple of weeks, and you will learn how to send them a coaching contract, takes notes on the sessions, coach professionally with your systems in place, etc. Toward the end of the course, we have a business-building module and walk you through the simple apps and systems that you need to accept payments, create packages, etc. And, you will be part of a coaching community where you can communicate with other coaches to learn how they are starting their businesses.

Is this course accredited?

Yes! Awaken Coach Institute has been approved by the International Coaching Federation as a Level 1 Accreditation provider. This Coach Certification Course provides you with a certificate for 114 training hours.

Is this All-In-One Coach Certification Program applicable for us if we want to become coaches for corporate executives and business leaders?

Yes. This coaching course covers all of the coaching competencies. Some of our graduates use the skills for corporate and executive coaching. Others start coaching businesses for other niches. You graduate with a high level of confidence and competence to use the coaching in whatever niche market you choose, including coaching business leaders.

Do I have to become a coach after I complete this course?

No. This course is also ideal for leaders who want to be more clear and kind. You don't have to become a coach to benefit from the skills you will learn. This course transforms you as a person in all your relationships.

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 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 credential. 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.

What language is this course delivered in?

English.
