Few coaches are adequately trained in presence, a core coaching competence
…the magic behind really masterful coaching; that’s why we partnered with Brett Hill, The Mindful Coach.

Hi,
It’s no secret that people are struggling, confused, and disconnected from authentic purpose and meaning
now, more than ever.
And chances are you’ve taken a good look inside yourself and feel called to do more to help. To go deeper in your work so you can be a better coach and, quite simply – be more helpful.
Me too.
My calling happened when I was working at Microsoft, going about my business as a speaker on technical stages worldwide, as well as a trainer teaching Fortune 500 companies all over the world.
One day, I got an “inner message” – you need to do more to help people with what you have!
It was powerful, relentless, and urgent.
But what did I have that could be helpful?
You see, I wound up in technology as a result of my lifelong pursuit to deeply understand how things really work, and that includes our inner world as well as our outer world.
So along with internet protocols and web servers, I had studied meditation (which I also taught for many years), group-dynamics, and mindfulness-based somatic psychotherapy with world-class mindfulness-based, somatic therapists like Ron Kurtz, the creator of Hakomi method, Amina Knowlan who created Matrix Leadership, and Jon Eisman, creator of Re-Creation of the Self.
Watching these masters at work, it often seemed like magic.
So there I was, feeling the intensity of this “calling.” Helping people have faster, more secure internet services was simply not cutting it. The need was too great and what I had learned was too valuable to take a back seat any longer.
That’s when I decided to become a professional coach.
To my delight, I discovered that presence is one of the core competencies of the International Coach Federation.
So I set out to get an ICF certification as a Mindfulness, Somatic, and Wellness certified coach and others.
But A Key Part Was Missing!
To my dismay, in my coach training, the training on coach presence was far less effective than the quality of practice and skill I had experienced in trainings for somatic therapies and group dynamics.
That was my aha moment.
Even the well-regarded Reciprocoach.com (which offers this course as a part of their portfolio) said: “training programs that effectively teach coaches how to DO coaching presence are few and far between.”
This class bridges the “presence gap” in coach training without yet another commitment to an expensive, lengthy certification process.
I’m a technologist as well a mindful-somatic coach and coach trainer. Keeping up with the tech is important, so this course is built upon principles and practices from neuroscience, relational mindfulness, and somatic psychology.
For example, research shows brief, daily reminders to accompany learning improves engagement and satisfaction. But how to do this? There is no ‘off-the-shelf’ solution to provide these services for a class like this, so I built one.
You can now add Practice Prompts to your enrollment to receive reminders and practice suggestions via email or text. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.
My mission is help you be the best you can be,
so you can better serve the people you are called to help.
You’re reading this because you want to make a difference and likely are already in significant ways.
Working on your in-session presence is the most powerful way to improve your work, regardless of your practice.
This course takes you through a updated series of exercises informed from the great training I had the good fortune to learn and re-factored specifically for coaching – to help you amplify and sustain your in-session presence.
The “how” to “be”.
You’ll see more choices in the moment, with friends, colleagues and clients and often better choices – resulting in better outcomes for everyone.
You’ll be more confident and because of the powerful work you do, have a distinguished practice.
And you can do all this without formally teaching mindfulness to your clients or overreliance on meditation.
Are you ready to uplevel your presence with clients and bring mindfulness directly into your sessions?
Say yes, because your work matters. and the world needs what you have now, more than ever.
You, your clients and those close to you will be glad you did.
Guaranteed. No, really, there’s a money-back guarantee.

When do I get access?
As soon as your payment is processed, which should just take moments, you’ll be given a login link by email to access the course immediately.
Can I access all the content at the same time or does it "drip" week by week?
All the content in the course is available at the start. We strongly suggest you work through the sequence one week at a time, as the sequences are carefully designed to build on each other and lead to a specific outcome that helps you be more mindful and present in your sessions and in your life. This is something you can’t hurry. Still, you are welcome to preview the material at the beginning.
I am not in the US or Canada - can I get the practice prrompts?
If you live in the United States or Canada, you can elect to have the practice prompts sent by email, text, or both. Otherwise, they’re available by email.
How does the refund work?
If you’ve taken the course and applied the practices and it’s not aligned with you, doesn’t work for you, or you have any other concerns that make it seem like the value of the course is not worth the price you paid, just let us know and we’ll refund your money. No questions asked.
Is this accessible on a mobile device?
Yes, you can access the entire course from a mobile device and it looks great. It doesn’t require a standalone app. You can access it from your browser or via the automatic login link sent by email.
Does this require meditation?
No.
The practices in this course are what I call micro-mindful interventions and are based on neurological principles of neuroplasticity to help you improve your capacity to invoke executive function at will.
This is traditionally trained through attention training in mindfulness courses, with periods of meditation, watching your breath, and other practices, which are excellent ways to learn. This course offers alternative ways to do that that fit a busy schedule and don’t require extended periods of meditation. That said, the course includes some meditation practices that, if you’re inclined, are very helpful.
How long does the reflection paper need to be for ICF CCE credits
The purpose of the reflection paper is to demonstrate understanding and integration into your practices, which is required by the ICF as a means to validate your learning. So the paper needs to be long enough to demonstrate that. We estimate around 800 words but we don’t count words. So if you can achieve that aim in 500 words, great. If you have a lot to say and it’s 1200 words, great. It’s the intent that matters, not the length.
