The Course
This is where your journey as a transformational life coach begins.
Rooted in the Seattle Life Coach Training (SLCT) philosophy, this self-paced course blends practical training with spiritual depth and real-world relevance. From day one, you’ll learn the SLCT 11-Step Protocol—a clear, repeatable structure for every coaching session that gives you confidence, direction, and consistency whether you're working one-on-one, in groups, or inside organizations.
Each module includes a mix of short audio lectures, teaching videos, and real coaching demonstrations—so you’re not just reading concepts, you’re seeing and hearing them in action. You’ll develop the coaching presence and ethical grounding needed to guide clients through meaningful, sustainable change.
You’ll also receive a full suite of coaching resources: intake forms, templates, scripts, and outlines you can start using right away in your practice, workplace, or community.
Whether you’re brand new or ready to level up, this is your foundation for coaching with clarity, purpose, and impact.
