I’m no stranger to trainings and certifications—massage licensing, Bachelors in Social Work, certified yoga teacher, certified aromatherapist…My training at Coach Training World exceeded my expectations. Feroshia Knight is a master coach, both in title & execution. Plus she knows how to teach in a way that addresses the group and the individual needs at the same time. The ongoing support long after completion of the program. Feroshia continually shares resources, tips, job opportunities, networking opportunities, etc. I’m more successful in my career because of the ongoing support from Feroshia. Thanks!

Sharon Roemmel, Certified Professional Coach

“Coming to Coach Training World was one of the best decisions I ever made. My former coach training left me woefully unprepared for real world coaching. I am certain that I can be a successful coach and I have the tools necessary! I would and have recommended your Whole Person Coach program not only to future coaches, but to anyone who wants to go along the path of self discovery and personal transformation.“

Monica Wheeler – Whole Person Certified Coach (WPCC)

“When I was looking for coach training that meets ICF credentialing guidelines and requirements, I was drawn to Coach Training World. Feroshia, CTW’s founder, has created more than just a training program. She has built a training world where you can learn the tools of the trade, practice coaching and being coached, and join an amazing community of novice to seasoned coaches. Being part of CTW has equipped me to become a certified coach, given me the confidence to start my own coaching business, and connected me to a caring and supportive coaching community.”

Insight: Whole Person Coaching® Starter Kit

INSIGHT is an on-demand, 10-module digital coach training that gives you the tools and skills you need to start coaching others. This training includes sample coaching sessions and our customizable “Coaching Starter Toolkit,” getting you up and running immediately.

With this course, you will:

Add a rich suite of resources into your coaching toolkit including: coaching contracts, coaching plans, values cards, archetypal identity tools, self-assessments and more are included.
Be able to identify your client’s unique learning and informational processing styles, and sculpt your coaching process accordingly.
Use our FootSteps coaching intervention to generate positive momentum and sustainable change with your ideal audience.
Clearly articulate the value and benefits you offer your prospective clients so you spend less time selling yourself, and more time helping others.
Customize your coaching toolkit, tailoring it to your unique offerings and personality.

The key to change mastery lies in a strong foundation from which to elicit change. The Self-Discovery Process is essential to both coach- and client-success. Your clients will become confident in you as their guide. More importantly, you’ll be well equipped to serve them at your best by knowing: who they are, what truly matters most to them, and how to elicit their very best. It’s worth noting that many people begin charging for their services at this point and start earning back their initial training investment. NO PREREQUISITE AVAILABLE: On Demand

Impact: Revolutionary Relationships

(3-Day Intensive – Available Online, In-Person & 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’.

Ignite: Catalytic Communication

(3-Day Intensive – Available Online, In-Person & Recorded)

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.
