we welcome you.

In our program, you’ll be challenged in the best possible way to step into a
bolder version of yourself. We’ll ask you to start learning about becoming a
masterful coach, by practicing courage in the same way your clients will be
asked to practice courage.

We include an in-person retreat in California and marketing training in our

program, as well as several continuing education offerings, even after you
graduate. We don’t teach “factory coaching” with one way that you “have to”
do it. We want you to learn a coaching skill-set and then expand outward,
to include your own stylistic elements as a coach.

Our graduates have built businesses and used our certification to land
salaried positions that integrate coaching. Even after graduation, our
community stays connected. We’re so excited to welcome you to the
TeamCLCC family.

Let’s be part of a courageous community of people committed

to changing the world, one client at a time, with the practices
of courage and work that makes a difference.

You: empathic, open, & desiring to make a difference.

You might often find yourself listening, care-taking, or strategizing with friends.
That kind of connection lights you up, precisely because it leaves you feeling
connected, expansive, and generous.

You’ve got heart.

You’re willing to face fear, & practice courage.

There’s no part of you that wants to live your life, halfway.

The Courageous Living Coach Certification (CLCC) is a training program for people
who want to create a life coaching career where they feel connected, confident, and
courageous in their work with clients.

We’re enrolling for our sixth year of the training,

which begins in January 2019.
This training is intensive. The work is hard, but we believe that it’ll be worth it.

• You’ll go beyond cognitive-behavioral techniques with our holistic

training methodology.

• Learn the marketing techniques that get you booking clients without
feeling inauthentic or out of integrity. You’ll learn how to talk about what
you do with confidence, both on your website and in person.

• We integrate small-group masterminds into our training. Too many

coaches are leaving training programs without any ongoing support. Your
peer mastermind will be the team that you can turn to for years to come, for
business questions, impromptu coaching support, and knowing that you’re
never alone.

The CLCC cares about all of these

aspects of the training process.

a different kind of training
We start with an introductory training weekend in California, from
January 11-14, 2019. It’s a time for us to connect as a group, learn
foundational skills that will influence the remaining months of training,
and you’ll immediately start learning–and practicing–coaching in real-time.
But let’s not confuse this with desks in rows and attendance reports–this
kick-off training weekend will be taking place in California’s Sonoma Valley,
in the heart of wine country. If we want to set the stage for how you help your
clients to create joyful lives, there’s no reason why this shouldn’t start with us creating
a joyful weekend. A bit of hot tubbing, a bit of time in nature, a glass of wine, a bit of
photo snapping, journaling, or creative expression–this opening weekend will give you
solid skills in coaching, and offer you some downtime for connection, creativity, and
rejuvenation while you also get excited about the journey you’re about to undertake.

what training looks like
Monday: Each week’s topical lesson goes live in the exclusive CLCC
Lesson Library. Some weeks your assignment involves reading and an audio,
other weeks a video, other weeks a swapped coaching session. We keep the
format diverse and mix it up to provide new challenges.

Thursday: Our weekly lesson calls are held 5:30-7:30 Pacific time
(with a short mid-way break). Our conference call service creates a
virtual classroom where students can raise hands and even break into
smaller groups within the call.

Saturday: Our “Field Work” calls are held from 10am-noon Pacific
on Saturdays. This is your opportunity to practice and receive feedback on
your coaching, as participants give and receive live coaching on real topics.
Some weeks, we’ll meet as one group, other weeks in small groups and
sometimes you’ll swap sessions. We dive in, modeling and giving feedback.

The overall scope of the program:

• Skill-set Phase: January – June

• Independent Learning: June – August

• Portfolio Review & Graduation: October

personal attention
We model our program after a coach-
client relationship, which is to say that
we want to offer personal attention
and support during all phases of the
process (without, of course, nannying
or monitoring you—just as in a coach-
client relationship, that dynamic
wouldn’t be healthy).
You’ll be working with Kate and the
other Lead and Mentor Coaches
Leadership Team
© TeamCLCC.com
throughout our program. Kate facili-
tates the majority of all calls. You’ll be
on some calls with all of us, others that
are small-group breakout sessions, and
you’ll also have the option to receive a
(free) coaching session with a member
of the Leadership Team shortly after our
January retreat. Every graduate of our
program has a one-on-one call with a
member of our Leadership Team in order
to discuss their unique path during their
time in our program.
And, by the way? We do not assign you
to a member of our team, at which point
you never interact with other facilitators
or trainees! You’ll be engaging weekly
with Kate, Valerie, Lara, and all of the
other members of the Leadership Team.
We know that each of us brings different
ways of coaching to the process, and
we want you to learn from diverse in-
structors, so that you can intuitively find
your unique way of coaching clients.
We limit how many trainees we work
with, each year, and we maintain
a teacher-student ratio of at least
one teacher per ten students. We
go above and beyond the International
Coach Federation’s requirements for
“synchronous” training hours.

what will we learn?
As part of the Courageous Living
Coach Certification, you’ll be using
yourself and your own personal devel-
opment as the starting point for how you
work with clients. The skill-set for great
coaching doesn’t come from a “how-to”
manual of tips and tricks. It starts with
going deeply within. In this sense, the
training becomes not just nine months of
building your future coaching career—it
also acts as a powerful, intensive, and
in-depth exploration of who you truly are
and what you desire for your own life.
No coaching training program can
guarantee International Coaching
Federation certification for their trainees,
but the CLCC models its curriculum to
cover the ICF Core Competencies and
we offer at least 70 hours of real-time
instructor contact. Trainees complete at
least 60 hours of one-on-one coaching
hours and complete a portfolio review
and one-on-one exit call as part of
the CLCC’s graduation process.
We do not charge any extra fees
for certification.
© TeamCLCC.com
Here’s What We Cover:
Co-Creating the
relationship:
Establish trust and intimacy with your
clients through meeting them where
they’re at in a way that feels natural for
your coaching style. Learn how to use
goal-setting as a helpful framework—
without turning it into the totality of the
coaching process. We integrate active
listening, keeping the focus on the
client’s agenda, asking powerful
questions, and more.
Focus, Integrity,
Vision:
Help your clients make core shifts
rather than superficial life shifts, remain
accountable to themselves, and find in-
spiration and motivation when things get
difficult. We invite clients to go deeper,
seeing how what they desire fits into the
broader perspective of their lives.
Working with fear:
We teach you about working with
long-standing fears that have become
habits, and “faux fears” that often
present challenges for clients yet remain
difficult to pin-point. We also look at how
to work with even resistant clients, those
people the coaching industry typically
labels “un-coachable,” and how to help
them to drop the resistance.
15
 Sometimes, the past (a belief system,
an old way of being, etc.,) is very much
showing up in the present. We work on
how to release from the past, without
using it as a crutch.

Emotions & Process

Identifying internal
narratives:
We look at what drives human beliefs
and behaviors, and how to question
those belief systems with clients and
shift those belief systems without turning
to “faking it” through affirmations.
When the Past Arises
in the Present:
The life coaching industry has a tendency
to say that “therapy is about the past,
and coaching is about your future.” We
disagree. We think that humans are a
matrix of past experiences and future
desires—and that the most important
work is in the present moment.
Work:
Have you ever gone 24 hours without
experiencing an emotion? We haven’t,
either. Yet the coaching industry often
bypasses emotion in favor of purely
cognitive-behavioral tools, affirmations,
and to-do list tasks. At the CLCC, we
value those tools as part of the larger
coaching skill-set, but we want to equip
our coaches to be skilled at allowing
emotions to come up within a session,
while we also trust ourselves enough to
know when it’s time to refer a client out
due to strong emotional responses.
Health, Money,
Relationships:
These three aspects of life and living
influence so much of our lives. The
CLCC training will incorporate
discussions on these topics in a
holistic way, using the methodology
of client-centered inquiry and examining
Stories and internal narratives, to unlock
those places where challenges in the
areas of health, money, and relationships
contribute to an overall feeling for our
clients of being “stuck.”

coaching–that you have to have all
of “your stuff” figured out in advance.
There’s not a life coach out there who
doesn’t have some place where she
gets stuck. The skill-set that life coaches
learn is not “how to be perfect,” it’s how
to set a container for, and hold space
for, other people who are experiencing
life challenges.
In addition, remember that the heart
of this training is you, working on you.
That means that if you’re committed to
changing them, the challenges you bring
to the beginning of this training will have
shifted by the end of our time together.
Who are the
teachers?
You’ll be interacting with myself (Kate)
and a leadership team of other Lead
Coaches and past graduates of our
program who volunteer their time as
mentor coaches.
This is a program of personal support
and attention. We do not do what we
know other programs do—assign you to
someone, at which point you rarely ever
interact with anyone else. All of our in-
structors engage and teach all trainees.
18
 Is this program
endorsed by any
coaching institution?
The CLCC models its training require-
ments after the International Coaching
Federation requirements (in other words,
the CLCC requires the same number
of training hours that they recommend,
covers topics the ICF requires, and re-
quires all trainees to accrue one-on-one
training time with real clients), but is not
specifically endorsed by the ICF.
There is no licensing board or governing
body for the life coaching industry. Ad-
ditionally, no training program can offer
automatic “ICF certification”; training or-
ganizations only ever offer their coaches
the training skill-set, which coaches then
take to the ICF to apply for certification.
You do not need to attend training en-
dorsed by a coaching institution such as
the ICF, in order to apply for certification
as a coach. You do not have to be certi-
fied, in order to become a coach.
CLCC trainees who desire to become
certified through an institution such as
the ICF will be welcome to do so, and
would utilize the ICF’s “ACC Portfolio
Accreditation Path” if you desire their
certification.
© TeamCLCC.com
If there is no
governing body for
life coaches, then why
should I get training?
We believe that having a solid coaching
skill-set, especially one that required
one-on-one coaching hours with clients
and that involved guidance from expe-
rienced coaches, is critical. That’s what
makes you best for your clients.
What’s the teaching
style?
I’ve been a life coach since 2006,
working with clients from all around the
world, and since 2011, I’ve taught fellow
life coaches strategies for developing
their businesses. I’ve got more than
a decade of experience as a college
professor, interacting with hundreds of
students, and this included experience
with curriculum design. I’ve lead
numerous workshops and seminars in
addition to planning and leading retreats
in Italy and California, as well as devel-
oping course content and teaching in
a distance-learning format with a variety
of e-courses.
My teaching style is highly-collaborative,
using a transparency model where we
learn by actually getting in there and
doing, with pauses to point out insights
or examples that are relevant to the
entire group, and lots of modeling.
CLCC students will also be utilizing
training resources (books, videos,
handouts) to supplement what we do
together as a group.
I’m international.
Can I still participate?
Absolutely! We’ve had graduates from
Italy, Canada, Guatemala, the U.K., the
Phillipines, Australia, and all across the
United States. For those participants
who are in different time zones, real-time
call participation is expected (so that
might mean a very early morning!) but
we’ve absolutely seen people do this
successfully. Our kick-off retreat in
California, is also a required part of the
total certification hours for the program.
What if I change my
mind, halfway
through the training?
Can I quit?
19
 We’ve got to have only the most
committed people in this program, the
people who know that even if they don’t
have the entire plan mapped out in their
head, they’re crystal clear that their
current career isn’t cutting it and that
life coaching is something they are
passionately drawn to. If leaving the door
open to quit is a strong concern for you,
we invite you to take it as a sign that this
program is not right for you.
I’ve already attended
and completed
coaching training,
elsewhere, yet I feel
drawn to completing
this training program.
How do I know if this
is right for me?
We’ve worked with several participants
who joined our program to gain additional
coaching skills that their first training
program wasn’t offering. The CLCC
differs from many other training
programs in that we aren’t teaching a
topical, formulaic approach to coaching.

What are we doing
during the summer?
When designing the CLCC, one thing we
heard over and over from graduates of
other programs was that training ended,
and once that structure was gone, it was
difficult to suddenly adapt and figure
things out on your own.
We set up our summer months as a
time to more slowly adapt to being an
independent coach and business owner.
© TeamCLCC.com
You’re still meeting with your mastermind
group once a month, accruing your one-
on-one hours, and putting together your
final Portfolio for certification through our
program. We include real-time marketing
training in our program, but by the sum-
mer you’re ready to start implementing
more of what you’ve learned and build
out your business.
Does this training
cover intersectionality
or multi-cultural
aspects of coaching?
We are always thinking about how to
approach our course content from an
intersectional space. We don’t believe
that coaches should tell clients, “If you
believe you can, that’s all there is to it,”
while denying the very real challenges of
race, class, gender, etc., that people can
face when changing their lives. With that
said, our emphasis is on the coaching
skill-set and this is not a learning inten-
sive focused around theories of inter-
sectionality or multiculturalism. Topically,
we are focused on teaching a holistic
approach to the coaching skill-set.
I’ve heard you talk
about Major Con-
centrations, and how
someone who wants
to have a coachin
niche might use them.
What are the Major
Concentrations?
In the same way that colleges or uni-
versities offer a core, general education
curriculum, and students can pick a ma-
jor specialization, we offer what we call
Major Concentrations. All CLCC partici-
pants complete our core, holistic coach-
ing curriculum. Major Concentrations are
optional, and only for those who know
they want addtional training in a specific
niche. Many of our coaches prefer to
remain generalized life coaches without
adding a niche.
Major Concentrations are offered each
year, during the month of August. This
allows all participants to spend Janu-
ary-June learning the core of our curricu-
lum, and discovering more about them-
selves as coaches. We think that this
time of being open and seeing what calls
to you, is important. It’s not uncommon
21
 for someone to start our program certain
that they want to be a Health and Well-
ness Coach, and then discover through
our intensive process that they’d actually
like to get into Career Coaching.
We offer Major Concentrations in Career
Coaching, Health and Wellness, and
Executive Coaching and plan to offer
additional Majors in future years of the
program.
Because the Major Concentrations are
offered during the month of August, they
don’t conflict with the regular lesson
calls taking place earlier in our training
year. We stagger the scheduling of calls
and coursework for the Concentrations
so that trainees can double-major, if
they want to learn about more than one
discipline. Major Concentrations are not
included in the overall CLCC tuition.
They are an additional, separate charge
of $495 per major, so that we can pay
our facilitators. Major Concentrations
are only available to CLCC participants/
graduates.
Someone can absolutely graduate from
our program, fully certified and working
with clients, without completing one
of the Major Concentrations. They are
optional and are intended to help those
who know that they want to coach
© TeamCLCC.com
within a specific niche, get specialized
training in that niche. You don’t need to
decide on a Major Concentration, right
now (and we won’t force you to “pick a
niche” at any time during the program).
We suggest that you approach this train-
ing with a beginner’s mind and let your
curiosity and intuition guide you towards
a major…or not! It’s absolutely possible
to be a life coach without having a niche.
Do you “assign us”
to learn from another
coach, and that’s just
who we are learning
from, for the duration
of the program?
Nope. We’ve been told that there are
some programs where, after enrolling,
you are assigned to one member of their
staff and that’s the person you learn from
for the duration of your time in training—
but that’s not how we roll. We want you
to learn from everyone on our Leader-
ship Team, because we don’t want you
to learn one way of coaching…we want
you to find your way of coaching. Expo-
sure to different coaching styles helps
with this.
Kate faciliates most of the live Lesson
Calls. Other members of our Leadership
Team facilitate topics that they are more
experienced in, and most of the Field
Work calls. And still other members of
our team come in for bonus calls to talk
about building confidence as a coach,
systems for staying organized, or how
to create a functional mastermind. The

watch the training in action

Training kicks off with an in-person retreat

at a beautiful hotel in Sonoma County.
We immediately begin putting coaching into direct practice, and you’ll be
connecting with the other trainees. Fly into San Francisco International Airport if you
live out of town (this is the only airport that we recommend flying into, as it has the
easiest shuttle options to our retreat site).

Schedule your flight to arrive by 1pm Pacific on Friday and catch the shuttle to
arrive at our retreat site by 3pm Pacific. We start our training that evening, and
then continue on Saturday and Sunday from 9-6pm. Your lodging is included in
the program tuition and is paid for all the way through to Monday morning
check-out, so we encourage you to relax on Sunday evening and fly out Monday
morning (suggestion: arrange a flight that leaves at 11am Pacific or later, to avoid
rush-hour traffic getting to the airport).

When I first considered signing
up for CLCC, the registration
period was not open. I put myself on
the waitlist, and then over the next few
months gradually let the idea of coach
training fall away, rationalizing all the rea-
sons it would not work and I shouldn’t
do it. Was I really going to leave my job
to become a coach? Did I really have
what it takes to help somebody else? (I
don’t even have my own stuff together -
how could I help somebody else???)
Then, I got the email from CLCC that
the registration for the next class was
open. I read through the materials and
again felt an incredible pull toward this
program. After a lot of internal pushing
and pulling, after getting up the nerve
to talk to my husband about this and
work out the details of whether we could
make it work, I finally let the feeling that
I really, really..... REALLY wanted this to
have it’s say, and I jumped. I applied, got
accepted, and then figured out how I’d
© TeamCLCC.com
work the training in around my marriage,
my family, my very full time job. It was a
big commitment, it was overwhelming at
times....and it was without a doubt one
of the best things I’ve ever done in my
entire life.
From the very beginning of the program,
Kate and her team guided us step by
step through an amazing and intensive
process of exploration, learning, self-dis-
covery, courage, and relationship. I’ve
said that Kate is some kind of curriculum
genius, and I mean it. At every step,
she seemed to know what we would be
feeling and what we needed. And she
created a powerful community among
the participants. I’ve truly never felt so
supported in all my life, and my life is
changed for the better. I don’t know at
this time what I’ll do with my training -
still don’t know if I’ll ever have my own
coaching business. And that’s okay.
I am forever grateful that this program
and I found each other and that I took
this journey. Without question, 100%
worth it!
Sarah Silvas
Before CLCC I thought that
I needed to know all there is
to know about all life circumstances so
that I could give excellent advice as a
coach. What I learned is that Coura-
geous coaching is far less about giving
advice and much more about honing the
skills and sharpening tools of holding
space, listening with intention, engag-
ing in meaningful exercises, and asking
provocative questions. CLCC provided
both the education and space for me to
deepen into the art of coaching, allowing
me to find my own voice and presence
while working with clients. This program
takes a steep turn away from a cook-
ie-cutter template of coaching, rather
encouraging you to apply your own in-
tuition and wisdom to showing up in the
world - and with clients.

compassion I feel and show myself and
others. The shifts I have experienced
as a result of being in such a positive,
supportive, and dynamic community
has allowed me to expand my heart and
mind in ways I could have never imag-
ined. No question is too silly, no event
too minuscule to discuss, no experience
too ugly to share. The guidance is rich,
the expertise is vast, and the support is
real. I truly know that the Courageous
Living family wants me to succeed in my
life and my business.
Doña Bumgarner
I joined the CLCC program to
learn to be a coach and how
to start a business, and the program
delivered these skills in spades. But that
wasn’t the best stuff I got out of these
last few months. More importantly, my
life has shifted in some profound ways.
I’m stronger, clearer, more confident in all
areas of my life. At the beginning of the
© TeamCLCC.com
program, my relationship with my partner
was on some really shaky ground, I was
exhausted and lost in my life. I’m now
better at setting my boundaries and let-
ting things go that aren’t a priority right
now. My relationship has made a com-
plete u-turn, which I can credit to a great
couple’s counselor, but also to the skills,
insights and awesome peer coaching
I’ve received through this program. I’m
more clear about who I am and what I
want, and more able to communicate it.
This program has given me my self back,
something that I didn’t comprehend
was missing until I found it again. It is so
much easier to explain to my clients the
potential value of coaching, because I’ve
seen it in my own life.
Nena Natasha
I never thought that I would
gain such an awesome sup-
port network while simultaneously
examining my personal development.
The community created through CLCC
is deep, and that is what continually
inspired and guided me through. The
entire process helped me become more
connected to myself and my life, which
made it so much more than a certifi-
cate program. I don’t think there is any
other training out there that provides the
connection and community I needed to
become a coach and entrepreneur.
Lisa Chartrand
CLCC is a challenging pro-
gram that offers so many ben-
efits if you put in the work. It allows you
to not only learn the craft of coaching
but also learn about yourself. By working
through the program I have been able to
better understand and appreciate myself
as well as gain clarity around how I truly
want to show up in the world each day.
The skills, tools, knowledge and connec-
tion you gain in the program are beyond
expectation. It’s both an intense and
beautiful journey that I am grateful for!

Lara Heacock
My CLCC class is comprised
of a team of like-minded
women who are honest, focused and
real. They are inspirational and being
on this journey together has given me
ideas, encouragement and friendship.
The course itself is so well laid out that
even in moments of overwhelm, I know
it’s manageable. Resources are always
available and participants are encour-
aged to ask for what they need. Feed-
back from peers and leadership is hon-
est and relevant, and the entire program
just gives the feeling that everyone really
wants me to succeed. For a decade, I
couldn’t find a Coaching training course
that really spoke to me. The moment
I saw the email about CLCC, I knew it
was the course I’d been seeking and I
can’t
recommend it more highly.
Natalia Chouklina
The CLCC has been an
amazing experience for me.
The most incredible benefit for me has
© TeamCLCC.com
been reconnecting with my passion for
coaching. I arrived to this training utterly
exhausted, feeling over it and ready to
throw in the towel on what I thought was
my dream career, after a year of doing all
the right things and attending the best
webinars and not seeing much move-
ment. Within days of CLCC training I felt
ready to take on the world again be-
cause Kate provided me solid tools and
support system to run the business my
way, make my vision come true and be
successful at it.
Mandy Grier
Enrolling in CLCC has been
the best choice I have ever
made, both career wise, and soul wise.
I have already learned so much about
myself, and how I can spread love,
discovery and light with others. I have
more confidence, ease, and peace when
it comes to sharing a safe space with
others both in coaching and my personal
life. As a bonus, I have met an amaz-
ing group of women who I hope to stay
friends with for a very long time.
Michelle Crank
I have found the CLCC to be
honestly life changing. Not
only have I gained the critical skills to
support me as a life coach, I have also
been given access to critical information
about how to run my business. As a
newbie to self-employment, I have found
the content and support from Kate and
the CLCC mentors to be more valuable
than I could have ever imagined. Their
expertise and guidance have been so
very helpful and include everything from
how to do basics like scheduling and
contracts to detailed marketing support
and best practices. Additionally, the skills
learned through the weekly assignments
and calls are provided in a format that
allows you to engage on many levels:
reading materials, homework ques-
tions, audio/video formats and even live
coaching practice. The diversity in the
homework kept each week exciting and
interesting, while also really challenging
me to become more precise and
focused in my coaching. It has chal-
lenged me to be a better person while
supporting my growth and desire to
launch my own practice. The CLCC is
definitely unique and personalized (and
SO worth it!).

Julie Evans
I knew CLCC was the right
coaching program for me as
soon as I read about the certification
process. Kate’s emphasis on coach-
ing the whole person, working with fear
rather than against it and upholding the
values of courage, empathy and integrity
are what sold me. CLCC with Kate has
surpassed my expectations: some of
the highlights have been the first
retreat weekend where I connected with
like-minded, passionate and supportive
women who have since become more
like sisters; Kate’s excellence in teaching
and role-modeling beautiful coaching,
and consistently providing a comfortable
yet challenging learning environment with
the emphasis on real coaching practice.
Through directly receiving coaching as
part of the program, I’ve been able to
transform so many parts of my personal
life that were sorely needing my attention
and am living my life with a renewed
vision and purpose. As a new coach,
I’ve been given so many skills and tools

to launch my business. Most importantly,
CLCC has helped me catalyze the gift of
believing in myself.
Vanessa Soto
We should call it Adventures
in the CLCC­—because that’s
what my experience has been, utterly an
adventure. An adventure into who I am,
who I want to become, who I’ve found
myself already expanding into, and
above all else – who I can be in guiding
others through their own life choices
and challenges. The CLCC has been an
often exciting, always challenging, and
ultimately wonderfully rewarding
adventure that has also turned me into
an incredibly well trained, and pretty
darned confident newbie Life Coach.
The Courageous Coaching Training
Program (CLCC) is a 9-month training
program for people who want to create
a life coaching career where they feel
connected, confident, and courageous
in their work with clients.
Czarina
Before I joined CLCC, I could
sense my talents that I had
touched long ago in childhood + my young
adult life, but for years I only saw walls of
Limitations all around me: “I can’t do that –
business is unethical.” “Entrepreneurship is
too risky.” “It’s not possible for me to earn
money doing something that I love.” I’m just
a couple months into launching my holistic
Life Coaching business while writing my
dissertation and moving between countries
– and yet I now feel brightly confident that
it is possible for me to earn money from me
creating programs that I am inspired by. I
used to *hate* social media, but through
the Coaching Blueprint’s program, I’ve now
become fascinated with how I can use
social media to connect with and create
communities grounded in the passions and
values that I share. Exchanging peer coach-
ing hours with participants has multiplied
the significance of CLCC in my life. Not only
have I practiced my coaching skills, but I’ve
learned alongside other women who share
my coaching values and CLCC coaching
approaches. In the process we’ve co-creat-
ed a sisterhood of trusted like-minded Life
Coaches. I feel more confident in my own
coaching work because I know the results
of my peers’ work with me, and that I could
not more highly recommend. With CLCC,
I’ve discovered the possibilities and creative
joy of embarking on creating my own biz
based on Coaching.

Ann Birchmeier
I have learned so much from
this program. I would need
way more room to list it all, but I will try.
Here goes...
• I have learned that I do not need to
have control or know the end result, if I
trust myself.
• I have learned that it is my choices
that give me power and this realization
has set me on a renewed personal jour-
ney to live the life I choose.
© TeamCLCC.com
• I have learned that I have the power
to meet my own needs, which is true
empowerment.
• I have learned the art of gentleness,
especially with myself.
• I have learned that nothing is more
embracing than having a group of wom-
en who support you wholeheartedly,
without the “high school feeling” all over
again.
• I have learned the value of having a
life coach in your life, it is through this
program I personally experienced the
positive effects of being coached.
I could go on but this is what I found ex-
traordinary about this particular program.
You are encouraged and even chal-
lenged to show up. Be there 100%,
including the good, the bad and the ugly
about you. Scary right? Except while be-
ing scary, it releases this abundance of
courage that propels you forward toward
the life you want to lead. AND as if that
isn’t already super cool, while all this is
going on, you are completely accepted
and loved in all your imperfection. In fact,
it is your imperfection that is celebrated.
Addie K. Martin
Being a part of the CLCC has
helped me to gain more clarity
around who I am and what I truly want
out of life. Not only have I learned how to
be a better coach, but I’ve also learned
so much about myself in the process.
This course tackles not only professional
growth but also personal growth, which
is exactly what I was looking for in a
coaching program.
Aurora M. Suarez
I did my research on many
training programs. What
appealed to me about the CLCC was its
focus on courage, taking responsibility
and building your life coaching prac-

program, I thought I would get the skills
to be an amazing life coach (like knowing
the right questions to ask and being able
to move a session along in a way that
felt organic and supportive for the client),
but I got so much more. I got clarity as
to my strengths as a coach and as a
person, the kinds of clients I wanted to
help and what I wanted for my business.

Before starting the Coura-
geous Living Coach Certifi-
cation, I felt stuck in my job & clung to
a sad hope that something else was
possible for my life. From the moment
our opening retreat started and we were
asked to show up vulnerably, I knew my
life was about to change for the bigger
and bolder. I immediately felt the com-
mitment and dedication to the trainees
and this process from Kate and the lead
& mentor coaches, and knew I was
being called to step up and stop doing
the things and thinking the thoughts that
were keeping me stuck and self-critical.
In CLCC, I’ve learned the nitty gritty
skills of life coaching. I have gotten me-
ga-support--emotional and practical--to
follow my passion & start my business.
More so, I’ve gotten totally challenged-

Kate Stevick
As I researched coach training
programs (and I researched
a lot of them), the thing that stood out
most to me about the CLCC was the
in-person retreat weekend that kicks
off the program. I had a feeling that the
energy of being in the same place at
the same time with like-minded women
would be a wonderful thing. I was right!
Even more wonderful is the fact that that
energy continues now all these months
later. Those three days we spent to-
gether in January laid the foundation for
openness, support, and encouragement
that can be seen every day in our online
forums, on our calls, and in relationships
forged between myself and my CLCC
sisters. I know that long after the CLCC
ends, I will continue to be a part of this
tribe of amazing and passionate women!
Paula Jenkins
CLCC was the perfect fit for
me as the groundwork for
coaching. It’s a great balance of prag-

time providing the opportunity to jump
in and practice coaching right away. I
love that we have been working on our
own issues and fears as we go, and that
there are so many loving, like minded la-

educational standpoint, I find that I’m

my choice to join the CLCC tribe.
Julie Houghton
I had been coaching for a year
before starting CLCC but I
wanted to strengthen my skill set so I
could be a more confident coach. CLCC
has been everything I hoped for and
more. I have gained so many concrete
tools both for being a more skillful coach
as well as for growing my business. The
community is truly amazing and is what I
yearned for in that first year when I often
felt isolated. Now I have a whole tribe of
like-minded women who I can not only
bounce ideas off of when it comes to
coaching or business stuff, but also a
group of friends who I’ve really grown
with on this journey and can turn to for
support in my personal life as well.

Iman Boussaada
Being a part of the CLCC has
actually changed my life is
ways I could not have imagined be-
fore joining the course. I have gained
30 comrades who share all my joys
and struggles and whom I can call on
for support at any time! It is like I have
gained this amazing support network
that “gets me” and that I have never ever
had at any other time in my life or with
any other program. I know these are
friends and colleagues for the long haul.
No matter what stage of growth you are
in, this program will turbo boost you to
your greater self and bring an awareness
to you that I am sure would take years if
not a lifetime otherwise. It is so beautiful
the way Kate and the mentor coach-
es propel you forward and also stand
next to you, guiding you and providing
a support and comfort that feels above
and beyond any expectation. They show
you the way and they believe in you with
a trust and faith in each student, they
watch as you rise to your potential. It is
artful and touching to experience.
I have been provided with fantastic tools,
knowledge and the confidence to be a
phenomenal coach; I really had no idea
I would be getting this much attention
and expertise. I had heard it was a great
program but in fact, it is one of the most
valuable programs I have ever taken and
I can’t think of a better step to becoming
a coach. To me this is real life learning
for the real life coach. Kate is definitely
COURAGEOUS and she will reveal you
to yourself in ways that will leave you in
awe.

The CLCC is the best thing
I’m doing for myself, much like
getting plenty of nourishment through
water and sleep. The decision to pursue
life coaching came swiftly for me, and
with a sense of certainty. I needed this.
And the benefits are not unlike those
of water and rest: I function better as a
person -- partner, daughter, sister, friend
-- because I’m learning that honoring
myself is something that has to happen
everyday, something that takes aware-
ness and consistency, in order to reap
the rewards. My Inner Critic and I are
finally cordial (okay, most of the time);
I hold more conversations with myself
because, whether or not I’m afraid, there
is always an opportunity to become
more Me; and with practice, I’m taking a

whole lot less personally because I get to
choose to imbue something with mean-

tribe, too, and I’ve gotten comfortable
showing up as myself amongst them. In
short, the CLCC has given me more life,
better life, because it has reminded me
why I’m here...and convinced me that
it’s enough.

There are many specific ben-

the CLCC. The first and most important
to me currently is the answer to a call-

been searching for the tools that best
fit me while holding space for others
and believe I have found them through
my learning in the CLCC. I love know-

it out for them but instead help empower
them to believe that they know the way
down the path and that all they see and
witness along the path is information,
juice, helping guides FOR them. At this

bravery and honest looking.
Ann Nguyen
Additionally, by having access
to all of my peer coaches, I’ve
gained further insight and clarity around
some of my personally crafted limita-
tions. From when I began the program
to today, I feel entirely different in my
mind, body and soul. Part of it is finding
a calling and part of it is unwinding deep,
old spools of pain that I was stuck in.
Through my peer coaching relationships,
I’ve been able to be brutally honest with
where I”m at all the while knowing I’ve
got sisters who’ve got my back no mat-
ter what terrain I explore.
And thanks to you specifically Kate.
There have been many times that I’ve
been super inspired by your profession-

mixed with total devotion to what is true

idea what I was in for and was terrified of
taking the chance on finding work that I
truly love.
Every single person from the coaches
to my peers have wholeheartedly sup-
ported me show up in my life in a more
powerful way than I could ever imagined
for myself. On top of all that, I truly feel
confident in my skills as a life coach, and
now have a tribe I can lean on forever.

The training has made me
more present by embracing
the ego, instead of cursing it away. The
tools which we learned during our train-
ing not only helped me guide my clients,
but they helped me guiding myself as
well. I have become more gentle with
my ego and use it as an ally, instead of
seeing it as an enemy. With this, I have
learned and am still practicing that I am
safe and that I am beautiful just as I am.
And the sisterhood which I have met
through this has been amazing.
Thank you so much again for this
experience. BEST decision ever.

 This is a unique invitation to learn a valuable skill-set and start doing work
that you’re actually excited about, work that also helps people to live better
lives. This is part of being a world-changer. You’ve certainly heard someone
say before that change starts within, and it starts with one person.
One person is…you. Your gifts and contributions are the change the
world is asking for.
You’re probably already someone who would describe herself
as having a lot of empathy, perhaps even a knack for sensing where
someone’s “at” emotionally, even if they can’t verbalize it, themselves.
You’re a great listener, care-taker, or strategizer (in other words,
you’re already putting into practice, for free, elements of being
a life coach).
To get started, see the page on how to apply. We hope to hear from you!

 Our team believes:
in the power of coaching. that courage is where it’s at.
that marginalized voices need to be heard—now. in
what you’re capable of. in you. that expanding who
you are gives you the capacity to empower others.
in pragmatic, research-backed behavior change.
in totally unstructured, spontaneous woo. that no
one is truly free unless we are all free. that coaching
skills can be applied to social change movements.
in practical wisdom. that we all deserve to have
careers that we love. that connecting as a community
is the backbone of our growth. that self-responsibility
is potent. that creative expression is truth-telling.
that sometimes, only the f-bomb will suffice. that
sometimes, gentleness has more impact than profanity.
