Aside from learning the more technical skills of coaching, each class also felt like a celebration of the struggles, joys, and authentic lived experiences of everyone in our cohort. I would 100% recommend this course to anyone looking to improve their personal relationships, become more self-aware, bring coaching skills into their current job, or start coaching clients of their own.
