Dual-Accredited Diploma in Coaching and Advanced NLP
WHAT YOU GET
ICF-Accredited Diploma in Coaching
This ICF accredited Diploma includes both Life Coaching and Advanced Coaching skills meaning you can work as a Life Coach, or work as a corporate or executive coach.
Life Coaching is a transformative approach that help us dig deep, and gain clarity and confidence to move forward. Life Coaching works with goals, vision, purpose, values and mission.
As their personal life coach you will help them build a future that is authentic, aligned and inspired.
Applying the ICF core competencies and integrating Nancy Kline's "Thinking Environment" you'll learn to create a Sacred Space for your clients to reflect and reset.
Eligibility for ACC ICF accreditation.
ABNLP-Accredited Advanced NLP Practitioner
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a coaching methodology based in the therapies of Frits Perls and Virginia Satir.
At the Nina Madden Academy you will learn to work on a deeper level with your clients, to face challenges and deal with common issues like anxiety, imposter syndrome, self-sabotage and more.
NLP is for everyone and anyone who wants to improve in any area of life. It's deep and impactful and makes lasting change in our neurology. NLP helps us coach at identity level.
Eligibility to join both ANLP & ABNLP.
Metaphors
Metaphors are deeply unconscious processes that most of us don't have access to - yet have a profound influence on our thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
Building on David Grove's 'Clean Language' metaphor work, you'll learn how to work with these internal landscapes to make changes in the unconscious mind. By understanding the metaphors your clients use, you can help them shift deep-seated patterns at the source.
Archetypes
Archetypes have a powerful influence over our lives and if we carry wounded and shadow archetypes can create havoc in everyday life.
This module goes deep into teaching of archetypes and helps you transmute shadow elements into sources of personal power and identity.
You will gain insight into the archetypes that have influenced you in life and discover facets of yourself you didn't know existed.
The Hero’s Journey
Discover the patterns in your personal life and connect the dots to your own hero's journey.
Our stories and narratives shape how we view ourselves and our identity in the world.
The Hero's Journey builds on the work of Joseph Campbell, and provides a frame to acknowledge and shift our stories. Change your "stories" and you will change your life.
Level 1 (ACC) ICF Accredited Coach Mentoring
Includes three months ICF coach mentoring
At the Nina Madden Academy we include the three month ICF coach mentoring within the programme fee whereas many of our competitors don't.

My Approach
My teaching
I have twenty years experience facilitating inspiring and transformative learning environments where you not only learn, but grow wildly on a new level too.
In my training room you will not be sitting and listening - you will be actively practicing coaching and NLP, engaging in reflective groups, and be asked for your thoughts, reflections and feelings about your experience throughout.
My training rooms are safe environments for learning. I apply a Time-to Think facilitation approach where you get the inspiration, insights and learnings you need to become a competent coach-leader; unique in your own style.
This is a boutique style training where your voice matters.

Beautiful safe space to express ourselves
I can be quite introverted, but Nina created this beautiful space during our coaching and NLP training 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 didn't want it to end!
I wasn’t sure what to expect as the coaching and NLP training was all online, 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 Diploma in Coaching and NLP Master 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.
