The second course in our Coaching Program is the Advanced Coaching Course:
Who Do You Want to Be as Coach? Coaching with The Empowerment Dynamic.
Whilst I have had coaches and committed to personal and professional development over the years, I have not experienced a course like this before. It is beautifully designed, full of interesting and useful content and conversations. It simultaneously impacted how I delivered TED* and 3 Vital Questions to my own clients in a more heart-felt and thoughtful way than I would have done before.
– Susan Dunlop, Professional Coach, Queensland, Australia
The tools and insights I received from this class sent me along a different trajectory. Before, I understood the Drama Triangle from my intellect – it made sense. Now, it resonates. I feel my path more intentionally and am empowered to bring my good medicine to the world in my own unique way. Thank you Donna for bringing this powerful work to the world in such a meaningful way.
– Debra DeVilbiss, PCC
Meet the Faculty
After my clients go through coach training for leaders at their company, they feel quite lost in how to lead and hold their direct reports accountable. Coaching with The Empowerment Dynamic really provides a simple (yet complex) framework that is SO helpful in supporting my clients. Knowing they can step into the Coach and Challenger role has greatly impacted each of them and their ability to lead! Thank you!”
Sharon Ilstrup, SLI Coaching, Leadership & Career Coach
Integrating HeartMath into The Empowerment Dynamic was truly a game-changer for both me personally, and for my clients.

Foundation Coaching Course Benefits
This course is a map for personal transformation. Yes, you will learn coaching tips and techniques, but this course is far more than just tools for coaching. This work will restore your identity as the creative, wise, and intelligent soul that you are, filled with up-lifting energy, and ready to invite others on their transformation journey that you will experience in this course.
Once you learn to liberate yourself from your personal reactive habits, you are no longer drowning in your own drama, and a whole other life becomes possible for you. Your energy is freed up—you feel lighter and happier simply because the sky is blue. You learn to coach from your wholeness and truth of your being for maybe the first time in your life. You understand your essence as a Creator without all the chaos inside of you. There’s no reason to compare yourself to others or strive for outer validation. You need nothing from the outside when you know the truth of who you are. This is the transformation the course delivers.
You will benefit from learning how your hardships and reactive habits can be the seed for more personal awareness and experiencing more compassion toward all when in difficult times. You will become an empowered warrior that supports people to rise and be their best self and in doing so, will help change the world for good.
Please do not let this be just another class. If you do the personal work and unblock yourself from old habits, you will experience the epiphany that you are The Empowerment Dynamic now, not sometime in the future. Your life will change and how you coach will change, but it takes work, reflection, practice, and willingness to begin.”

The compassion, integrity, and lack of judgment with which Donna presents the course material is a true gift. It has helped me to realize that my triggers and reactions are but indicators of what I value, and to treat those aspects with kindness and respect, as I retrain myself to listen more deeply to myself and others.
This course is a gift that keeps on giving and I cannot thank Donna, enough.”

Meet Donna Zajonc, MCC
This course has given me language and structure as a coach and leader to engage with others and hold my fire more, allowing others to find their way forward. It’s working! I’m a great rescuer and this has actually been freeing to me. So more present with the other person. I see how much more empowered they feel too. Thank you.”

If you want a holistic approach to coaching, this is the course for you. Not only will your clients have an opportunity to address their shadows and move into a richer appreciation of self but you as a coach will make leaps and bounds in the mastery of transformation.
