What Students Say...
This course is brimming with useful information that can be put into practice immediately. Presented by two coaches with a wealth of experience in the wellness inventory and in the field of group coaching, this class provided hands-on experience and answered all my questions about using the wellness inventory with groups. Throughout the class, the instructors demonstrated the best of group coaching skills and provided value to coaches at every level - from those who have not yet begun work with groups, to those who had been providing group coaching for many years. This class was a personally and professionally enriching experience and I highly recommend it to anyone planning to use the wellness inventory with groups.

Bobbie and Mary Lou are formidable coaches whose knowledge and experience in the field of wellness coaching is vast, rich and varied. They share their expertise beautifully and generously in a manner that enriches the listeners and encourages progress and improvement. Everything I've learned from them elevated my own performance as a coach, widened my understanding of people, and improved my listening skills.

Having been a college professor, I am always searching to learn new methodologies for leading groups of individuals. … I easily applied the information from this class in teaching, speaking, and in developing my own group coaching workshops. I recommend this course for anyone who gets in front of groups for any reason.
