Some questions you may have about the training from a participant: 

Q: I have one question for you - once participants have completed the program do you offer assistance/guidance to those who would like to start their own parent coaching business?

A: Good question! My role is to provide the instruction, and it’s my sincere pleasure to now be able to refer new coaches to Family Life Coaching Association, an organization that serves their needs. We now have an easy resource for networking, webinars, an annual conference and even an Emerging Coaches’ committee! Before FLCA, it was much harder to find knowledge and assistance. I serve on the board, and am happy to steer coaches to all this wonderfulness!

 Q: Hi Tina, Thank you for sharing - this is all great information! I was looking at the online class dates and noticed conflicts with three of the Zoom call dates, as I have work commitments on these days and I know the Zoom classes are all day. Is there a way to participate by watching a recording of the Zoom call after the session and I can submit any assignments necessary or discussion posts following this? 

 A: Yes, you can watch recordings of the trainings, which you must request in advance.  If you can attend partial days, that would be ideal. Assignments are due at the same time, either way, the day before the next class.  No recordings of Part II or III will be made, as parents are coached live for Part II and we want to maintain their privacy, and for Part III, each coach needs to receive coach mentoring individually.  If you miss the scheduled session, make an appointment with Tina to be mentored at your earliest convenience. Hope this is helpful!

 Q: Definitely helpful! and I would certainly try to coordinate with my work to attend the majority of the classes. I really appreciate you taking the time to respond to all my questions. Thank you!

Here's what our students say about the class:

"Thank you for your exceptional teaching, guidance, and mentoring!  You have been transformational in my life in so many ways over these last 15+ years! I have so much love, appreciation, and gratitude for you and what you do."
~Theresa Anderson, Ed.D., former coaching client and new Certified Parenting Coach

Thank you so much Tina!! This was a wonderful venture for me and I have learned so, so much from everyone in the class.  I am actually going to miss our days together. Thank you again!"  ~Sara Davis

"Tina, taking your class was such an honor. I have learned so much and I cannot wait to help change the lives of families. We are so optimistic and ready to reunite famil(ies) - hoping it’ll only go up from here. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!"  ~Haleigh Sprecksel

"Throughout this calendar year and especially the duration of this course, I have been asked to stretch myself, my comfort, and my ability to be a better mother, friend, wife, employee, daughter, and human. I have done this, with enthusiasm, because I believed that the work I will get to do is life changing, and now I know that it has the potential to be lifetimes changing. Now I will have the opportunity to help other parents who are struggling to better understand themselves and their children. This, in turn, will help them to better connect with and positively impact their families and restore peace to their homes. The potential is limitless, the task is enormous, and I am up for the challenge." ~Stacy Wasserman

"Thank you so much Tina! This class was amazing. I feel like I am a better parent for it. The world is lucky to have you." ~Megan

"Class this last week was a true gift to me. In fact, I had the profound experience of feeling like I was exactly where I was meant to be, and that all my life experiences are coming together for this purpose. I'm so grateful to be a part of it!"  ~Kaysie Steele

"Thank you so much, Tina!  There are no words to describe how much I appreciate you and all you do for parents, the next generation, and all your students.  Your knowledge and insight are irreplaceable.  Thank you for pursuing this purpose.  It has been a pleasure to be taught by you." ~ Mindy

"We are at the final stage of this wonderful Parent Coach Training. My emotional intelligence is shooting out so many sparks to evangelize to every child agency, educational institutions, and parents, I had encounter it. I really wish, I could have this insight while my children were small. It does my growth any good, eyeing on the past, but make progress for the future. Many parents will need that same encouragement to make progress - “focus on today, so tomorrow can be a little brighter”. I am determining to bring some sunshine in the lives of many parents as well children." ~ Rev. Sharrieff Bugg
