Catalytic Communication is the core engine that you’ll use to produce game changing and often life-changing conversations that catapult your client’s capacity to achieve their dreams. It’s a unique form of invitational communication that employs powerful questions and reflective techniques that engage the whole person.
With this course, you will:
- Employ techniques based in Motivational Interviewing, NLP, Positive and Somatic Psychology to generate positive momentum in others working with the whole person.
- Become responsive in the moment, guided by both your intuition and proven techniques to ask the right questions to broaden and shift your client’s thinking, beliefs and actions.
- Develop the core holistic coaching communication skills of observing, listening, powerful inquiry, appreciative feedback and advanced reflection techniques to create awareness, learning, action and accountability in others.
- Catalyze fresh perspectives, pave the way to new approaches, deepen self-trust, and cultivate an unparalleled sense of self-understanding and knowing.
- Gently “give the work” back to the client, igniting their capacity to be self-innovating and operating at their very best.
Catalytic Communication gives you a noticeable edge, both in terms of the results you can help your clients achieve, as well as your personal positioning as an influencer in any arena.
Past participants have shared that Catalytic Communication revolutionized their role as an influencer both personally and professionally. Popular applications range from the conference room to the stage and from business transactions to your children and loved ones.

(3-Day Intensive – Available Online & Recorded)
Relationships are everything. The relationship you hold with yourself, others and the world as a whole shape the way in which you see, feel, hear and behave in the world. Impact is about being your best self in service to others.
With this course, you will:
- Tap into Relational Neurobiology, Interpersonal Mindfulness and Adult Attachment Theory to understand the effects of relationships on brain development, decision-making and habits. Learn the science behind effect change strategies.
- Understand how to create and nurture an empowering partnership, one rich in trust and authentic connection, with those you serve.
- Discover the five-core relationship building skills of attending, believing, confidentiality, reflecting and empathy to support your clients to overcome their own self-doubt and fear.
- Move beyond emotional triggers and remain present and highly effective working with others regardless of what arises during the session.
- Explore the 4 ways of “knowing” and learn how to tap into the multiple intelligences of the whole person.
Change is hard. Changing others can be even more challenging. Without the proper levels of trust and rapport and the capacity to work with the whole person, that’s usually how it ends up. This course is designed specifically to help you maximize the impact you make on the lives of others through the power of your presence and an empowering relationship you co-create with others.
Most participants have shared that the learning and tools they take away from IMPACT have single-handedly transformed their personal and professional relationships. This training has made it possible for them to be ‘openly authentic’ as well as ‘heard, seen and trusted by others’.

(3-Day Intensive – Available Online & Recorded)
Step into the arena as a transformational changemaker. This holistic change mastery program teaches you to assist others as they dive into their greatest potential and bring their whole self to life. Guide your clients to successfully shift beyond the invisible influences that (until they met you) have been holding them back. Support them in their journey toward becoming their best, most effective selves
With this course, you will:
- Create consistent, sustainable breakthroughs by employing holistic tools and processes. Strengthen your capacity to work with deeply held beliefs, fear, resistance, and discomfort that plague your clients’ capacity for success.
- Move quickly beyond surface symptoms. Cultivate an optimal coaching experience as you help release any self-limiting beliefs and ineffective behaviors. Then shift less resourceful states of being that inhibit their progress.
- Cultivate a deep sense of self-knowing and self-trust within your clients. Invite others to develop their capacity to self-witness and innovate from within. Champion them toward a mind-body focus that promotes integrative neuroplasticity.
- Fuel your process. Incorporate interpersonal mindfulness tools and other mind-body state management techniques. Learn to pivot resistant or distracted clients toward clarity, focus, and receptivity to change.
- Explore the lens of holistic thinking. Learn to view your clients inside multiple interrelated dimensions as you assist them to shift from polarized points of view into the potential of the whole.
- Work with the invisible factors that stall or prevent positive momentum in your clients. Use body-centric and creative processes that assist them to step through any limiting factors and become a fully integrated whole person
You will emerge from this training confident in your ability to support anyone in their desire to navigate life’s rough waters and unexpected turns. Most importantly, you will possess the tools necessary to help your clients create a thriving, sustainable life – rich in who they are as a whole person.
A favorite of many, this course brings to life the depth and power of Whole Person Coaching®. It is specifically designed to help you identify what the client needs and respond with the right tools at the right time to evoke sustainable change.
