My experience was great because they were through and made things easy. They were right about repetition and going with your gut. I felt they supported me. Thanks

Positive: HCI prepared me well to be a coach. Negative: Additional Instruction and Guidance is needed for Starting Your Coaching Business
Health Coach Institute really helped me develop great coaching skills. This was done through the weekly video teaching/lessons, practicing weekly with a Skills Lab partner, and watching coaching demos with Stacey and Carey. Pillars 1-3 were very helpful in preparing me as a coach. Pillar 4's goal is to prepare you for starting your business. While there were some helpful strategies included in Pillar 4, more instruction and practice are needed in this Pillar to help prepare us for creating clients, being visible as a coach, etc. It was not mentioned how much work is needed when you complete your Health and Life Coaching Certification; actually that is when the hard work begins, but no one really mentioned that. I think at least preparing soon-to-be graduates for what they need to do and consider in next steps is critical info to include in Pillar 4. Thankfully, I found a couple business coaches that I have worked with since then, which has helped me be successful in my coaching business. I graduated in August 2022, and it seems that HCI is aware of this need as they recently created a "Next Step" program. But I do think this info should be included in Pillar 4.

More good but left behind
I loved the lessons and I loved the encouragement between classmates. It truly was a great experience until it was over. It feels as if we are left to our own devices unless we can pay more to build our business, but I am having trouble building the business and do not have the finances to pay for more help.

Don’t do it!!
I’ve gotten a better education for less money through Transformation Academy. I wish I would have went there first. For the price point, I was expecting HCI to give me a lot more information than what was given. There wasn’t anything worth thousands of dollars spent on that course. Put it into your business instead.
