Exciting Modules for Transformation

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

Here’s how this inspiring content is structured to give you the depth and breath you need:

ICF Accredited Professional Diploma in Coaching 

Coaching is a process of directed enquiry, deep listening and powerful questioning that enables a client to become aware of agency and choice. 

Life Coaching asks the question of "how do I want to live my life" whereas Mastery Level Coaching asks "how do I relate to life" I.e how do I relate to challenges, uncertainty, power, desire, being thwarted , failure,  success? It facilitates awareness, learning and growth.

With ICF gold-standard coach education you will be able to to work with clients across any contexts. 

 

ABNLP Accredited Advanced NLP Mastery

Advanced NLP Practitioner. NLP is an exploration in our subjective experience and inner world. This is why it works so well with Coaching.

With NLP we can help clients explore their inner experiences of being stuck, frustrated, self-sabotage and more. It gives us the psychological tools and processes to change our behaviours and reactions so that we can have better results in the world. 

NLP is powerful because it works with the unconscious mind. With NLP in your coaching you get the tools that create lasting change. 

Archetype Coaching and Identity

Archetypes are within us as energy, behaviour, beliefs and value clusters. With coaching and archetypes we can explore how we relate to these. Be it the victim archetype, the Hero, the martyr or the addict (and more).

This is an expansive and exciting module where you gain insight into how your own personality can be shaped by archetypes both in positive and negative ways.

Your Hero’s Journey

Coaching with narratives explore how the stories you tell yourself about yourself direct your life's journey.

In this module you will learn about the Hero's Journey and how to spot the patterns. You will be able to see your own life through the hero's lens, even if you have never seen it that way before. This is a fun and exciting module full of possibilities. When we change our "stories" we change our life. 

Level 1 (ACC) Accredited Coach Mentoring

ICF-accredited group mentoring, This is friendly and supportive group work of three months mentoring to support you as  as required by the ICF delivered by Dennis White. This is where you deepen your coaching skills, access to supervision on real cases and develop your confidence as a powerful professional coach.

Frequently Asked Questions

Beautiful safe space to express ourselves

I can be quite introverted, but Nina created this beautiful space where we felt safe to express our thoughts and feelings freely and as such we grew together, celebrated each other and had formed deep friendships by the end of the course.

I wasn’t sure what to expect as all of the sessions were on Zoom, but I needn’t of worried as Nina has such mastery at making every individual of the group feel seen, heard and valued.

A life-time self-improvement toolkit

I was intrigued by Nina’s boutique-type training offering, as I would polish my Coaching skills, I was using as an executive and as a consultant, in the business world. At a time where there was plenty of uncertainty (Covid) and I felt overwhelmed, I got: A lifetime self-improvement toolkit, an upgraded mindset, some significant shadow work integration (ongoing), purposeful steps in work related evolution and life itself.

The course is brilliantly designed. Nina connects the dots as you learn & practice in tandem. In the process you add a definite layer of experiential sophistication from a skilful field Teacher.
