$3,425 for four weeks that will reshape how you coach and how you show up for the people you serve.
By the end, you'll have a proven method you can put to work right away, practical tools to launch a new practice or breathe fresh life into an existing one, and a community of like-minded coaches who truly get it.
This is your moment to step into greater purpose, deeper impact, and a coaching practice that finally feels aligned with who you are.
WHAT'S INSIDE THE COURSE
Your journey to becoming a Certified Breakthrough Coach unfolds across four thoughtfully designed, structured classes, each one building on the last. You'll move from grounding yourself in presence and trust, to mastering the method, to stepping fully into your identity as a Breakthrough Certified Coach through a clear progression in coach development. Every step brings you closer to the coach you're meant to be, supported by hands-on teaching, a collaborative team environment, a small circle of classmates, and the co-creators of The Breakthrough Method. Here's what awaits you inside.
Class 1: Becoming a Breakthrough Coach
This is where your transformation begins. You'll discover what it truly means to be a Breakthrough Coach: the mindset, presence, compassion, and ethics that form the foundation of this work and reflect core coaching values. From your very first session, you'll know how to create safety, trust, and depth.
Class 2: Mastering the Method
Here's where it all clicks. You'll learn the full Breakthrough Coaching Method step by step as a repeatable process, along with the questions and prompts that spark real insight. Together, we'll show you how to guide your clients from stuck to shifted so they can achieve meaningful progress toward clear goals.
Class 3: Session in Practice
This is where the method comes alive. You'll learn how to respond in the moment when clients feel big emotions or resistant, rather than defaulting to traditional coaching that often focuses on problem analysis and past causes, and when stress surfaces, helping them improve decision-making clarity and make sense of what they're feeling so they leave clear, grounded, and empowered at the close of every session. Then you'll practice it yourself, building real confidence as you learn to notice behavior and respond with skill, which helps clients navigate uncertainty more effectively.
Class 4: Your Breakthrough Moment
This is your moment to rise—the culmination of your coaching growth and commitment. You'll integrate the method and make it fully your own, stepping into your aligned identity as a Certified Breakthrough Coach with joy. The coach you were always meant to be.
How the course works
You're ready for more. More purpose, more impact, more confidence in the way you guide others. Over four transformative weeks, you'll step into your role as a Breakthrough Coach, explore the method as you learn at your own pace, practice alongside a community, and walk away certified to help clients thrive in the real world through work that matters. Here's the journey we'll take together and the real client challenges you'll be prepared to meet.
Learn at Your Own Pace
Every Sunday, a new core class unlocks: four in total, one each week. These self-paced online lessons fit around your life, not the other way around. Press play when it works for you, revisit anything that sparks something, and move forward feeling grounded and ready to help clients navigate uncertainty, gain clarity, and decide their next steps.
Gather Live, Every Saturday
Each week, you'll join a four-hour live session taught directly by the co-creators of The Breakthrough Method as part of the weekly courses. Each session also functions as a weekly live meeting for questions and deeper learning. This is real time, real connection. Ask questions, dig deeper, and learn straight from the source as the co-creators stay actively involved in live learning each week and the method comes alive.
Practice, Hands-On
Knowing isn't the same as doing. That's why every class flows into hands-on practice in a small group alongside fellow coaches, strengthening individual skill-building as you learn to respond skillfully to clients as players in real-life dynamics and build tools that improve decision-making. You'll apply the method alongside fellow coaches and the co-creators themselves, and that repeated practice, along with your collective efforts, is instrumental in developing true skill and genuine confidence with every session, preparing you to support greater self-awareness, awareness of emotions, self-compassion, and clarity for your clients.
Keep Your Tools Close
A week before training begins, your materials arrive at your door. Then every Sunday, fresh digital resources land in your inbox. Everything you need stays within reach, ready to use anytime.
Earn Your Certification
Finish the course and become a Certified Breakthrough Coach. Your certification proves your expertise in The Breakthrough Coaching Method and connects you with a supportive coach community built on encouragement, a supportive space committed to excellence, and ongoing professional relationships.
Continuing Education Requirements
To maintain your certification, you'll earn 3 Continuing Education Credits every 2 years. Each credit is earned by attending a 2-hour live online class ($150 per class), and these continuing education classes are part of the ongoing professional services offered exclusively by the co-creators of The Breakthrough Coaching Method and The Breakthrough Coach Training.
