If you would like to take advantage of this offer, we respectfully ask that you read the information and guidelines provided on this page BEFORE you go ahead and post!
Trainee life coaches with New Insights are required to conduct extensive practice coaching as part of the requirements for their eventual certification.
Trainees are required to find a number of volunteers to practice with. To assist them with this, we have created this page, which endeavours to help them get connected with members of the public who feel they may benefit from volunteering for one or more coaching sessions.
To post or comment on this page, you need to be either:
If neither of the above apply, we will not approve your post.
Yes, our trainees generally do not charge for practice coaching. However, depending on the circumstances, some may
request a nominal fee to cover any costs they may incur.
Firstly, it's important to bear in mind that you will be working with a trainee life coach.
Trainees are neither qualified, nor experienced coaches. If you want or need an experienced and certified coach, or if you are considering training with us and want to experience a session, we recommend that you visit our Life Coach Directory.
Secondly, coaching will be conducted in the trainee's personal capacity. Although the trainee coach may use the New Insights Life Coaching System, New Insights is not in any way responsible for the nature and quality of coaching you will receive.
Thirdly, depending on your requirements and the availability of the trainee coach, you may choose to volunteer for:
Life coaching will, almost certainly, be conducted remotely, using Zoom or Skype or similar, although the face-to-face option can be negotiated with the trainee coach in the event that you happen to live close by.
We can not guarantee that you will receive a response if you post on this page and we cannot give you any guidelines about how long you will have to wait. Other than approving posts, we do not monitor the interactions between our trainees and members of the public.
From time to time we clean up posts on this page by deleting public posts that are older than 12 months, or posts by trainees who have already qualified as certified life coaches.
