By giving talks at post-divorce “singles” groups, I quickly realized that coaching tools could make a huge difference for people. Through iPEC’s program, I not only healed tremendously myself but also developed my coaching practice to powerfully serve others.

Does iPEC train their coaches to give advice? Are you more of a consultant kind of program?

No. iPEC does not train their coaches to give advice. As an iPEC professional coach, you master the Core Energy Coaching™ process, which goes beyond traditional coaching to tackle the root cause of your client’s challenges. This includes their underlying thoughts, emotions, and energy. As you help clients shift hidden internal blocks, they uncover their own insights that lead to powerful and sustainable shifts in every area of their life.

Additionally, iPEC’s Energy Leadership™ Index assessment provides tangible, research-backed ROI for any coaching engagement.

Yes. iPEC’s Coach Training Program includes three, 3-day modules that may be completed at your choice of an in-person or virtual location.
