client-message-7-flourish-first-coaching-academy

I know how hard it is to confidently coach & support your clients in getting results quickly & I’ve mastered my coaching style & framework over a number of years.

I want you to save that time, doubt & overwhelm by teaching you inside of the Flourish First®️ Coaching Academy.

The Power of Psychology

I’m Holly Wood – a UK Leading Psychologist & Transformational Coach for Successful Women. 

I have over 6 years experience of coaching 100s of clients in business, leadership & growth – so that they can truly flourish & reach their vision of success.

I do this using a unique combination of Individual, Behavioural & Positive Psychology. 

That, combined with results-driven coaching, has led me to developing a powerful coaching framework that you can utilise for yourself AND your clients.

I’m committed to helping as many coaches as possible become incredible & to keep an ever-evolving industry full of legitimate, qualified & confident coaches.

The truth is, our psychology is at the centre of our journey to success, which is why it’s essential to understand it & why it’s integral to transformational coaching

I believe that we’re all unique & that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to reaching your goals, which is why understanding the individual’s psychology is essential to true growth

Once you understand your psychology, you can then work on your mindset, equipping yourself with an effective toolkit to help you navigate your self-development journey

During the Flourish First Coaching Certification Programme, you’ll not only experience the power of this transformational coaching for yourself, but you’ll have the framework to utilise inside your own business too.

FAQs

How much time do I need to dedicate to the programme?

The programme duration is approximately 4 months and incorporates self-study, live study & implementation weeks. On average, you’ll want to dedicate approx. 4 hours per week.

I’ve designed this study with busy people in mind, without compromising the depth or quality of training & support.

Do I have to be able to attend trainings live?

We always love to connect with our students live (online), however we understand that this is not always possible. Our students are global & we know you’re busy. 

So if you are unable to attend the live training calls, the recordings are made available the same day, so you can catch-up. You are however required to keep-up with the same pace & commit to watching the trainings each dedicated week. 

In order to gain your certification, you will also have to confirm that you have completed all of the trainings.

What kind of coaching can I do with this training?

The framework can be integrated into any coaching style or approach including: life, mindset, transformational, leadership and business coaching.

If you are a service-based business or wellness practitioner that supports your clients directly, you’ll be supported in infusing the framework into YOUR model.

Do I have to be an experienced coach to join the programme?

No! This training will give you incredible foundational elements to start your coaching business, as well as up-level existing coaching skills and experience. 

Is this programme accredited?

The coaching industry is currently unregulated in the UK, which is why I am so passionate about training fellow coaches with science-backed, research-driven frameworks.

Although you do not need to be certified to practice or become a coach, you should have a proven framework to be a successful coach with a thriving business.

You will be certified as a Positive Psychology Coach *or Leader if this is your chosen path*.

This training programme is under accreditation by the CPD Standards Office: an industry-leading governing body & will go through rigorous checks for accreditation.

This means that you will not only be certified, you will also be able to bank CPD hours. 

Please note: the level of training, study & assessment required to successfully graduate from the programme is equivalent to high-level diploma or undergraduate university level.

What happens after the programme?

You will be given the opportunity to keep training and being supported inside the alumni group for a small fee per month. 

When does the programme start?

The BETA version of the programme will begin in October 2024. This will be a full training programme, but as it will be the first cohort, you have the opportunity to join at the lowest investment the programme will be priced at.

What if I sign-up & can no longer commit to the training?

You will be offered a 14-day refund policy from date of first payment. After that, no refunds will be available due to the nature of the training. However, as long as you communicate with us with enough notice, your place can be transferred to a future cohort. (Please note there may be additional costs associated with this).
