Why We Do What We Do

Hey Adventurous Coaches!
‍
We combined forces nearly a decade ago, fuelled by a shared passion for evidence-based coaching and the business of transforming people.
‍
As coaches, we experienced firsthand the importance of really digging in and identifying our unique perspective and approach.
‍
It didn't just transform our practices, it helped us transform our clients--in a way that felt authentically "us."
‍
The problem was, we also wanted to help people launch thriving businesses, without having to squeeze themselves into someone else's blueprint for success.

The solution? We broke rank and designed our own program.

A life coach training program that helps people unlock the power of their own story and hone their business skills.

So, the only question now is: What's your coaching story gonna be?

How We Do It

Clarify Your Adventurous Vision and Unique Strengths

Forget business blueprints or cookie cutter coaching frameworks. We believe there are people out there who need your unique perspective and approach.

Our job is to help you identify both. Then, encourage you to proudly stake claim to them.

Hone Your Coaching Skills & Assemble Your Business Toolkit

We're coaches and savvy entrepreneurs. And if you want a thriving practice, you need to be the same.

That's why our life coach training program combines evidence-based methodologies AND business skills. We help you bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be.

Connect With Your Ideal Clients & Launch Your Unique Coaching Platform

Building a thriving practice takes time. There's really no quick-fix magic bullet. So when we say we give you everything you need to launch your practice? That also includes ongoing training and support.
