“Coaching has changed what I do so completely, it’s hard to even remember how I used to practice. I see myself as a healer now, capable of reaching out and helping somebody make a true difference in their life, as opposed to simply making their teeth look nicer.

Dr. Kim Kutsch

“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.”
