Transitional Coach Training

 

Internationally Accredited (IAOTH)

 

The transitional coach supports those who are experiencing halts in the progress of their goals due to end-of-life-as-we-know-it occurrences.

 

This includes returning to work or change of career after evenings such as marriage, bereavement, child birth, retrenchment, divorce.

 

The transitional coach supports their client in creating goals that take into account the new version of self and understands that end-of-life-as-you-know-it events can be “happy occasions” and yet still create a drastic change in self.

 

The transitional coach utilizes the intuitive approach combined with various modalities as needed by the client and their scope of practice involves a goal orientated approach that collaborates with other practitioners to ensure that the client is always at the center of care.
