“I really benefited from the depth and breadth of Feroshia’s experience and skill. It is so valuable when she is teaching concepts as well as when she is modeling them. It is a gift to learn from a master. I was pleasantly surprised how well the Zoom format facilitated learning. I attribute a lot of the value I got from the weekend to my class mates as well. This is likely the most self-aware, open-to-learning, and non-judgmental group of students I’ve studied with. The environment was safe and conducive to learning. I really appreciated the breaks about each hour. It allowed me to fully concentrate during our learning time. Homework on Friday and Saturday was good too – it helped cement learning. Finally, opportunities to practice were so valuable.

I am completely engrossed with this content. Everything I am learning resonates as incredibly valuable. The further I progress into this training, the more certain and excited I am that I am on exactly the right path, with exactly the right program.

Frequently Asked Questions


How does Whole Person Coaching Work?
Whole Person Coaching works through a holistic, integrated approach that addresses all dimensions of a person’s life rather than focusing on isolated goals or challenges. Here’s how it works:

  • It recognizes that clients are complex, multidimensional beings whose personal, professional, mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects are interconnected.
  • The coaching process begins with deep discovery to understand the client’s complete life ecosystem.
  • Within the Discovery Session the client identifies the area(s) of their life personal and/or profession they seek to improve.
  • The process honors the client’s innate wisdom while providing structured support for transformation.
  • Follow-on sessions address both visible challenges and invisible barriers (limiting beliefs, patterns, and blind spots) closing the gap to where they want to be.
  • The coach employs a multi-modality approach custom-tailored to the client’s unique needs, rather than using a one-size-fits-all process.
  • It works on both the inner landscape (mindset, needs, emotions, beliefs) and outer circumstances (behaviors, environments, relationships).
  • The coaching relationship evolves as the client progresses, with the coach adapting approaches as needed.
  • At the end of the coaching relationships typically 4-12 months in duration, the client has achieved 90% or better of their outcomes. But more importantly, they have not only accomplished their goals, but self-actualized to become more authentic, effective and skillful at navigating change in the future.

Unlike narrower coaching approaches, Whole Person Coaching creates sustainable change by addressing root causes across all life domains, recognizing that transformation in one area naturally affects others.

Can I earn a living as a coach?
As a professionally trained coach, you get to choose who you’ll help. More importantly, you choose how you serve as a coach:

  1. Internal Coaching. Here you address everything from small family-run businesses to multinationals. Industries range from high-tech and medical to wellness and financial management. Everyone values the support of an internal coach to develop employees.
  2. Coaching Firm. This is ideal if you value your independence but want someone else to do the marketing and sale to get coaching clients. Within a coaching firm, you are a subcontractor who commits to serving your firm’s clients. You maintain flexibility in terms of schedule and have the free time to work on your own (and build your business).
  3. Be Your Own Boss. If you crave independence and want the ability to customize not only your day but also choose exactly who you work with and how you help them, becoming a Luminary is for you.
  4. Add-ons. When you add coaching into your existing business, you increase the scope of your services. More importantly, you boost your capacity to effect holistic change for your clients, patients, or anyone you currently serve.
How do you choose a coach training school?
You’re here for a reason. You’ve been called to become a coach. Yet there are so many different training options available, it’s hard to know which will be the best for you. We recognize this is an important choice.

Since 2005, we have helped thousands of individuals and businesses achieve their goals through professional development. In that time, we have identified several factors that produce a good fit between student and training program.

These include:

  • Coaching Methodology. As someone interested in the business of changing lives, it’s important to obtain your training from an ICF accredited coach training program capable of demonstrating their adherence to established curriculum, methods, and best practices.
  • Business Development & Trainings. Word-of-mouth marketing isn’t enough for most coaches. To effectively sell the intangible idea of a future outcome, you need full business and marketing support, as well as instruction on how to profit from your coaching business.
  • Network & Community. If you’re looking for a reliable network of supportive peers and instructors, people willing to contribute to your ongoing success as much as you are to theirs, this is definitely not to be overlooked.

What is the difference between a “coach” and an ICF certified professional coach?
Many people call themselves “coach.” Yet few have ever been formally trained as a coach. In the same way, many organizations also use the term “coaching” when referring to advice given by managers or HR professionals. In these cases, the interaction isn’t so much coaching but more of an advisory role.

With this in mind, it’s only fair to address the importance of attending an International Coach Federation (ICF) Accredited Coach Training Program (ACTP).

Learn more about why earning a credential is important

In short, credibility. An ICF credential signifies to potential clients – whether they’re companies or individuals – that you have been vetted by the leading credentialing body of professional coaches in the world. As the gold standard for the coaching industry, a credential awarded by the ICF is now increasingly required by by many corporate clients and even individuals.

Don't you need a license or degree to become a coach?
No, you are not required to hold a degree to make your difference. Nor do you have to have a license to offer coaching services. Of course you can go to college to earn a full degree as a coach. But depending on your focus, you may not need or want to. That’s a huge investment and if you’re like most coaches, you want to get started helping others and add additional education as you need it.

Our mission is your success!

Here’s to a career path and life you love.
