TESTIMONIALS
“We came to Coach Sophia a bit broken as a team and she healed us. She taught us what it means to be a life coach, and we are so grateful that we can share her knowledge, light and warmth with our students. What we received was perfect for us, and we are forever grateful.”
TARYN, EDUCATION LEADER
“Lorene moves quickly and skillfully providing tools which can be used to reach success … I now have a more enthusiastic, confident attitude at work. I am taking on new responsibilities, exercising new skills and ‘owning’ my position as a manager.”
AUDIT MANAGER
“I still speak of you when I chat with a group of people I mentor. They ask me about the value of coaching. I tell them about you and the wonderful impact you have had on my life!”
CHARITY, SOCIAL IMPACT LEADER
“The ICLI training program struck me in a way I never prepared for. I did not expect the level of empowerment, reframed mindset, transformation, and the tremendous growth in my individual and team coaching skills. As an advocate for inclusion and belonging, I was very impressed with the integration of DEIBA in the program materials.”
KRISTEN, TEAM CAPACITY & LEADERSHIP COACH
“ICLI certainly helped me become a better coach and it also helped me become a better person. The curriculum helped me to rediscover topics such as DEIBA and resilient leadership in an in-depth level which increased my confidence. It helped me strengthen my critical coaching skills to become a more effective transformational leader – one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life.”
PETRA, EXECUTIVE & INNOVATION COACH
“The ICLI coaching and leadership program helped me take a deeper look into myself so I can be better for myself and those who I support in the mental health arena.
It was a great immersion program intellectually and inspirationally.”
ISIS, CERTIFIED COACH & CLINICAL MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELOR
