Coaching Certification Course for Therapists Orientation Page

Hey there, superstar! Let’s talk about setting yourself up for success in this program. These tips are here to help you not just survive but thrive. Let’s dive in!

1. Schedule Like a Boss

Before your cohort even begins, take a moment to block out your time and plan your schedule. This isn’t just a “nice-to-do”—it’s essential. Ask yourself:

• When does your brain work best? Are you sharpest in the morning, mid-afternoon, or evening?
• When do you have the most energy? Avoid your “I’m-too-tired-to-function” hours.
• When can you get some privacy? Find those quiet moments when you can focus without interruptions.

💡 Pro Tip: Make it a routine. For example, if you choose Wednesdays from 9 AM to noon, stick with it every single week. Habits make it easier to show up for yourself.

2. Pair It With an Existing Habit

You’re already doing so many amazing things—let’s build on that momentum! Think about something you’re already consistent with, like:

• Hitting the gym on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
• Your morning coffee ritual.
• That sacred hour after the kids are off to school.

If you’re already in the habit of doing something regularly, attach your study time to it. For example, if you’re already at the gym three times a week, bring your laptop and spend an extra hour there in the lounge or café. Linking new habits to old ones makes them stick.

3. Celebrate Your Wins 🎉

Don’t forget to reward yourself! Each week, after completing your modules, reading your handouts, and acing your quizzes, take a moment to celebrate.

Ask yourself:

• What would feel like a little treat?
• Is it a fancy coffee, a relaxing walk, or indulging in an episode of your favorite show?

And don’t forget—you’ve got your community here to give you all the virtual high fives you could want. But personal rewards? Those are game-changers.

4. Block Out Key Dates NOW 📅

Your live classes are happening every Thursday at 2 PM Mountain (1 PM Pacific, 3 PM Central, 4 PM Eastern).

• Add them to your calendar today.
• Mark off time for your coursework too—it’s non-negotiable!

As we get into the program, we’ll coordinate study group times together, so stay flexible for that.

Ready to Rock?

You’ve got this! With a little planning, a dash of consistency, and some well-earned celebrations, you’re going to shine in this program. Go ahead and block out your schedule, attach this to a habit, and start dreaming up those rewards.

I’ll see you in the next orientation topic—can’t wait to cheer you on! 💪✨

Hey there! Let’s make sure you know exactly how to access all the amazing material in the Coaching Academy. It’s super simple, and I’m walking you through it step by step. Let’s go!

1. When Do You Get Access?

Your journey officially begins the Monday morning of your cohort’s launch week. 🎉

• You’ll receive an email from me saying, “It’s go time!” This email will have a direct link to access the Coaching Academy.
• You can also find the link on your community home page. Look for the tiles at the bottom of the page—there’s one labeled “Coaching Academy.” Just tap it, and boom, you’re in!

2. Other Ways to Access

Because options are everything, you’ve got a couple more ways to get to your course:

• From the library section of the website. This section also links to both your course and the community page.
• Feeling stuck? Just email us at growingself.com, and we’ll get you back on track in no time.

3. What’s Inside Each Module?

Each module is packed with goodies to help you learn and grow. Here's what to expect:

• Lessons: Some modules have lots of lessons, each designed to guide you through important concepts.
• Handouts & Articles: Many lessons come with additional materials to deepen your learning.
• Quizzes: At the end of each module, you’ll take a quiz to move on to the next one. This isn’t a “skip-and-pass” situation. You’ll need to review the material, read the handouts, and understand the concepts to ace it. (Don’t worry—it’s open book!)
• Reflection Questions: These are designed to help you really internalize what you’ve learned. Take your time with these—they’re gold.

4. When Do New Modules Unlock?

Your next module will unlock the Monday morning of the week it’s scheduled for class.

• Why wait? This helps keep your cohort together and gives you time to:
• Synthesize the information.
• Formulate questions for class.
• Fully prepare for what’s next.

I’ve structured it this way so you have the space to absorb everything without feeling overwhelmed. Trust me—it works!

What’s Next?

Start by finding your access link and diving into that first module. Take notes, engage with the material, and make it your own. And remember, if you need help, we’re here for you every step of the way.

You’ve got this—I can’t wait to see you thrive in the Coaching Academy! 💪

Your live class time is going to be something special. It’s more than just a class—it’s an opportunity to grow, connect, and deepen your understanding in a truly meaningful way. Here’s what you need to know to get the most out of this experience!

1A. When We Meet

We’ll meet every Thursday at 2 PM Mountain Time. You’ve already blocked it out (gold star for you!), so you’re ahead of the game. 🏆

1B. HOW We Meet

At the time of our class or meetup, come into the "Community" area of our platform. From there, click on the “Events” tab, pick the event with the correct date, and tap the blue “Private Room” link to hop into the party. 

Important note: do not tap the “Live” button in Kajabi! That apparently takes you into another dimension (LOL!).  (Screenshot is enclosed!)

2. Come Prepared

This is not a review session—it’s a deeper dive into the work. To make the most of it:

• Try and complete or at least familiarize yourself with your module lessons before class.
• Read the handouts so you’re familiar with the material.
• Bring your questions about the content.

But remember: In our live class time we’re not here to rehash the material and I won't be teaching the same lessons in the academy. Instead, we’ll explore how to apply what you’re learning in your life and work.

3. What We’ll Do in Class

This is a growth-oriented, experiential session. Here’s what you can expect:

• Honest conversations about the internal obstacles we face as therapists or coaches.
• Insights into the surprises and self-awareness needed to implement the concepts from the program.
• Storytelling, sharing, and meaningful dialogue to connect the learning to your personal journey.
• Self-assessments and exercises designed to spark “aha” moments.

💡 Pro Tip: Leave your comfort zone at the door—this is a space for curiosity, reflection, and personal growth.

4. Post-Class Processing

Give yourself some time after each class to reflect. If possible, set aside 15–30 minutes to:

• Journal about what you’ve learned.
• Process quietly to let the insights sink in.
• Think about how you’ll apply what came up in your work or personal life.

5. Missed a Class? No Problem!

We’ve got you covered.

• All live class events are recorded and will be available in the Live Class Event Circle on the community page.
• If you miss a session or want to revisit one, just tap into the circle and find the recording.

Important Note: After your cohort ends and a new one begins, these recordings will be removed to make space for the next group. But don’t worry—I’ll give you plenty of notice before this happens so you can catch up or revisit anything important.

Final Thoughts

These live classes are designed to be transformational. They’re not just about learning new concepts—they’re about growing into the person and professional you want to be. So show up, dive in, and give yourself the gift of this experience.

Can’t wait to see you there! ✨

Welcome to the hub of all the action—our Community Feed! This is where connections happen, conversations thrive, and learning deepens. Here’s how to make the most of it.

1. Finding the Feed

Accessing the feed is super easy:

• From the home page, you’ll see a button and links below that will take you straight to the feed.
• You can also find it in the main navigation of the community home page.

2. What’s in the Feed?

The feed is organized into circles, which are like mini-conversation spaces. When you post or share something (and I hope you do!), you’ll choose a circle to share it in. Here’s a quick rundown of the circles:

• Q&A Circle: Perfect for program-related questions. Got a question about the content? Post it here!
• Community Conversation: A space for reflections, assignments, or anything you’re mulling over after class. Share your thoughts, ask for feedback, or simply connect with your peers.
• Events Circle: This is where you’ll access live classes. Just tap the link in the event post at class time and join the party!

💡 Pro Tip: You can see public posts from all circles in the main feed, but if you want to focus on one circle, you’ll find them listed on the left side of the page.

3. Private Circles for Specialized Groups

As your program progresses, you may gain access to private circles for specific needs:

• BCC Exam Study Group Circle: A dedicated space to prepare for your exam.
• Internship Circle: If you’re an experienced member, this is your go-to for discussions about internships, consultations, and everything related to this key part of your journey.

These private circles ensure you get targeted support for your specific stage in the program.
