I knew when I signed up for this course that I was wanting to help others. What I didn't fully realize at the outset was that I was also committing to growth within myself. This program has given me the structure, tools and science to bring about positive change in the lives of others. It has also brought about positive change in my own life and thinking, as I applied what I learned in my own life. Each week, another layer is added onto the foundation of the science and field of coaching. This program also provides a community in which you learn, providing support, understanding, and encouragement. I am so grateful for the Lumia community, both within the cohort and in the alumni group. I am so grateful to our teachers and to John and Noelle for creating this space. I am so grateful that I said 'yes' and for this opportunity in my life.
