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.
