A Comprehensive Training
If you want to do transformative coaching, our program provides the depth and skills you’ve been searching for. We explore the psychological foundations that drive meaningful, sustainable change and equip you with the tools to make a real difference with your clients.
Our program provides an opportunity for personal growth and an approach to helping others thrive, ensuring your contributions are impactful and sustainable. You will also connect with like-minded individuals who share your passion for coaching, creating a supportive environment that fosters collaboration and community.
You may have done some coach training before that felt superficial. IGNITE will elevate your coaching skills and facilitate deeper, more transformative conversations so that you can make meaningful change happen, one coaching conversation at a time.
Program Structure
IGNITE is a comprehensive 12-week coach training program for those seeking depth and significant impact.
Divided into four comprehensive modules, IGNITE equips you with foundational and advanced tools for coaching excellence.
In Module 1, you’ll master the CREATE framework, learning to build trust and presence—key ingredients for effective coaching. Module 2 explores the heart of personal empowerment and deepens your listening skills for more impactful sessions. In Module 3, you’ll refine your ability to facilitate change and transformation and uncover profound insights for breakthroughs. Finally, Module 4 empowers you to co-create success with your clients, celebrating their progress and expanding their potential.
Our live online sessions are capped at 10 participants to ensure personalised attention. We integrate theory with practical exercises complemented by group and one-on-one mentorship. This program empowers you to coach with confidence, anchored in solid methodologies. On completion, you’ll have the option to submit a coaching video for the ICF Accreditation assessment.
Take the next step toward realising your dreams of becoming a transformative coach. Spaces are limited and fill quickly! Apply now to secure your place in our next program, or connect with me to discuss any specific questions about the program.
What participants say about it
I feel my skills have offered others self-belief and greater confidence to achieve their ultimate desires. Many of those who I have coached have gone on to executive leadership positions and have grown through their journey. At the time of being in the organisation, it was useful to support those needing to build their networks and relationships. To provide skills to navigate within the complex systems of an organisation and to grow themselves to add more value within the organisation.
The training was very intense and well orchestrated content with practical learnings along the way, i.e. not just theory.
Having a space and a place to be vulnerable is a privilege especially for senior leadership. Having a safe place to reflect on personal growth again a gift. Being challenged or seeing patterns of behaviour and having a place to role play or having an accountability partner in personal development. The space for leaders to grow and learn and decompress is a privilege to all.
A place to look forward on career or performance goals also helps the people to be their best and thus the organisation will benefit. I think the balance between theory and practice is vital and the course does offer this. Learning is integrable and Michele is patient and challenging, structured and agile. She meets you where you are and holds you accountable for growth.
The people I have coached have been more effective in their roles, due to them being more empowered with a greater self-awareness; they have gained tools to deal with difficult situations, they have gained so much internally that it naturally plays out in their interactions with colleagues and the way they connect and interact with people. Increased confidence in what they have to offer, the removal of any limiting beliefs and behaviours have aided them in performing well in their roles.
I feel very blessed to have had the opportunity to do this course. The trainers were exceptional, the content was transformational, and the learnings live way beyond the completion of the course and have such an impact.

About the instructor
As an Organisational Psychologist and an ICF PCC-accredited coach, my mission is to help clients identify and overcome the core issues holding them back. I use a holistic approach that integrates the head, heart, and hands, grounded in self-actualisation psychology, positive psychology, and systemic thinking, to assist clients in achieving both personal and professional goals.
Having led change teams and driven leadership and culture shifts during my corporate career, I understand the challenges that come with transitions. Whether stepping into new leadership roles, navigating relationship changes, or managing career shifts, I recognise the mix of loss and opportunity these challenges bring.
