You Don't Have to Spend Months Learning How to Become a Coach.

You need the right training, the right tools, and the opportunity to put what you learn into practice.

At Wainwright Global, we believe learning to coach should be an active, transformational experience, not simply watching videos, memorizing concepts, or collecting information.

That's why our certification training is live, interactive, and limited to just six students per class.

You'll learn from an experienced Certified Master Coach, practice the skills you're developing, experience coaching from the client's perspective, and discover how to guide meaningful conversations that create results.

You won't just learn about coaching. You'll actually coach.

What Makes Wainwright Global Different?

The Wainwright Method™

A Step-by-Step Coaching System

You don't have to invent your own coaching process.

You'll learn The Wainwright Method, a structured approach to helping clients clarify their vision, identify obstacles, establish meaningful goals, and take action.

You'll leave training with a repeatable framework you can use in your own coaching practice.

Learn Coaching by Actually Coaching

Confidence comes from doing.

Practice real coaching sessions during your training, experience being coached yourself, and receive personalized guidance in a small, supportive class.

You'll begin developing your skills while your Master Coach is there to guide and support you.

Small Classes. Personal Attention.

With a maximum of six students, you're not just another face in a crowd.

You'll have opportunities to ask questions, receive feedback, and participate throughout the training.

Business Training Is Part of the Program

Knowing how to coach is only part of becoming a professional coach.

Explore how to price your coaching, create packages, and take your first steps toward attracting paying clients.

Your training also includes three one-on-one business-building coaching sessions.

Because we want you to leave with more than a certificate.

We want you to have a foundation for building a coaching business.

You'll practice establishing the coaching relationship, clarifying a client's vision, setting goals, developing action steps, and supporting accountability.

Part Three: Building Your Coaching Practice
