What is Breakthrough Coaching Live Intensive?

The Breakthrough Coaching Live Intensive is a comprehensive course designed to accelerate the development of coaching skills and presence for business coaches. Led by the esteemed Dr. Marcia Reynolds, this course offers a unique opportunity for participants to engage in a three-week immersive experience with a limited group of 50 passionate professionals.

Throughout the intensive, participants will delve into various aspects of coaching, including co-creation, challenging clients, fostering connections, and sparking breakthrough insights. The program consists of a series of live sessions, practice sessions, and self-study components, allowing participants to interact with Dr. Reynolds and their peers while honing their coaching abilities.

By the end of the course, participants can expect to have developed their coaching skills, refined their ability to challenge and support clients, and cultivated a stronger coaching presence. Graduates of the course will earn the designation of Breakthrough Coaching Master, signifying their mastery of coaching techniques and their commitment to personal and professional growth.


How does Breakthrough Coaching Live Intensive differ from Breakthrough Coaching?

The Breakthrough Coaching Live Intensive serves as an advanced step following completion of the original Breakthrough Coaching course, which acts as a prerequisite. While both courses aim to empower coaches to achieve breakthrough results with their clients, they differ in format and duration.

  • Live Intensive: Condensed, 3-week immersive experience with 50 participants

    • Includes live Module sessions, Practicum sessions, and interactive discussions

  • Original Program: 6-week course

    • Features self-study modules, coaching demos, exercises, assessments, and monthly live Q&A sessions

In summary, while both courses share the goal of enhancing coaching effectiveness, the Breakthrough Coaching Live Intensive builds upon the foundation laid by the original program, offering a concentrated, interactive learning experience over three weeks.
