"There is no passion to be found in playing small. - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living ."
Nelson Mandela
Are you living the life that you know you’re capable of living? Or have you found yourself playing small, trundling along on a well-worn path, not quite sure what your purpose is, and wondering if this is as good as it gets? What happens next? Is this what I was really put here to do?
You’ve worked hard, dedicated yourself to your current career, your business, your family - yet somehow it’s just not enough. You’re feeling unfulfilled, you haven’t made the impact you really hoped to make and you have this powerful sense that there is more to life. You're being being called to do something else - something that allows you to give the very best of yourself, to live out that life purpose and to do it with courage and conviction.
Odd as it sounds, and frustrated as you might feel right now, this is the perfect place to be! It means that you’re ready for more. You’re ready to do the work and to get to know yourself on the deepest possible level. You’re ready to learn new skills and new ways of showing up in the world. It means that you’re finally ready to start making the impact that you KNOW deep down you’re capable of
The Mindful Talent Coaching Academy
Your first step on the road to ‘more’.
Training as a Mindful Talent coach will take you on a powerful and life changing journey to connection. Connection to the best version of you that, right now, is not getting the opportunity to step up and shine. Maybe the real you has been hiding behind a current role or job description, or maybe the real you is stranded at the crossroads, really unsure of which path to take. Wherever you are right now, this journey will change things forever. You’ll discover how to bel present and fully aligned to your purpose, doing work that fires you up from the inside out. You’ll discover the leader within, a leader who inspires and motivates the people around you by connecting with them in a more meaningful way. In short, you’ll discover your greatest self.
Compare that to how you’re feeling right now – how different could your life be?
How would it feel to have the freedom and flexibility to live life on your terms – whether it’s freedom to travel, spend more time with your family or step away from an existing career that you know is not the one for you? All while making a real impact on the world around you, adding a powerful set of skills to your work/life toolkit and transforming the lives of the people you coach? It has happened for our graduates and it could happen for you too – but don’t take our word for it!

If it can happen for them, it can happen for you!

Training to become a Mindful Talent Coach – What’s involved
The Mindful Talent Coach Training Academy is a 16-week online training programme that will give you a recognised qualification, accredited by the Association for Coaching (AC). The training is delivered via engaging video content, a downloadable manual and workbook PDFs plus live seminars via video conferencing where you’ll meet your trainers and the other trainees in your group. You’ll also have the opportunity for face to face meet ups with peer groups in your area – a great way of getting to know other Mindful Talent coaches, brainstorming ideas and perhaps even collaborating in the future. It has happened and the results have been very exciting!
The course is built on 3 modules, with each module consisting of 4 units. One unit is delivered each week and you can work through the content in your own time and at your own pace. This means it’s absolutely possible to continue working full time or being a full-time mum while you work your way through the training.
Module 1
This module is all about learning to be a coaching practitioner and how to apply coaching in a practical sense. It’s about building your confidence and giving you a solid, well-structured framework for learning. We deconstruct the coaching process into its component parts:
- Establishing a firm foundation
- Building trust and intimacy with your client
- The ACORN coaching framework – exclusive to The Mindful Talent Coaching Academy
- Powerful endings
Module 2
In module 2 we focus on two core functions of the coaching process: raising self-awareness and increasing personal responsibility. You will learn how to lead a client to insight quickly. You’ll also go deeper into your own psyche and really start to understand what your own beliefs and values are. The following four units form the basis of Module 2:
- Managing the self and your coaching presence
- Awareness and insight
Coaching with the brain and the mind - Maintaining forward momentum.
Module 3
Now it’s time to focus on building your coaching practice and getting you up and running as a business. It’s the beginning of an exciting journey, where you start preparing to step out into the world as a competent and confident coach. We look at:
- Continuous coach development
- The Case for Coaching
- The Professional Coach
- Compelling visions
There is no such thing as ‘fail’ when you train as a Mindful Talent coach. We are with you all the way, offering guidance and encouragement to ensure you’re keeping up with the content, getting the most from all the incredible support available and, most importantly, enjoying the process. A happy coach is a successful coach and that’s our intention for you from the moment you sign up.
All of this work is supported by:
Peer coaching
Case study coaching
Observed coaching
Mentoring
An engaged and informative Facebook group
