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.

As one person recently told us, “…first it blows your mind open to the possibility, then you embody the work and it completely transforms you from the inside out. Once you’ve experienced that freedom, you simply have to go out and share it with the world…you want to throw that gold and sparkle over everyone.”
Simply put, The Foundations Coaching Course, based on the frameworks found in Who Do You Want to Be on the Way to What You Want: Coaching with TED* (*The Empowerment Dynamic) will help you get yourself AND your clients unstuck, unblocked, undramafied. You will experience the profound transformation that happens when you catch drama before it happens and harness that energy for forward momentum, which allows you and your clients to create the life and work you’ve always wanted.
You’ve already taken several coaching courses, so what makes this course different? Aside from learning how to apply The Power of TED*® to your work and life, you will get the chance to really dig into the heart of what makes YOU so powerful as a coach. You will transform your coaching game and gain skills that will leave you confident to take your program to the next level.
We know this because our participants tell us that they leave feeling SO CONFIDENT, SO EMPOWERED, SO PREPARED AND READY to hit the ground running.
This is deep, heart-centered work with a focus on truly transformational change at the inner-most level of YOU so you can bring your best and strongest, most empathic and genuine self to your clients. So if you truly want to change lives (including yours and those you love and work with) then you’re in the right place and this is the right course. We cannot wait to see you.
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.”
– Rev. Julie Chai, MDiv.
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.”

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!”

Integrating HeartMath into The Empowerment Dynamic was truly a game-changer for both me personally, and for my clients.
