GREETINGS FROM THE FOUNDER, DIANA STERLING!

Is your desire to heal, support and guide young people and their parents in creating loving and productive lives? GREAT! Our programs are accredited with the International Coach Federation as an ASCTH Accredited Program as well as Lewis and Clark College with the Masters Degree CEU designation. We are the only fully comprehensive coach training academy in the world for professionals who work with teens, young adults, parents and families. Join us in making a difference in your country, community and family. Onward - there is much work to do as the crisis continues with families everywhere.

I use the Family Coach Training approaches in my classroom as a sixth grade teacher/"parent"/mentor in an inner city immigrant school. My students are learning who they really are, what awesome strengths they possess and most of all what in life they are in control of. They know that they are responsible for their actions, consequences and of course the choices they make as they grow. Being a teacher with the Seven Ways in my pocket makes the entire experience more meaningful, sincere and most of all less stressful. I feel like I am using all I've got to be the best teacher I can be!!

I highly recommend The Advanced Coaching Course to any one who wants to work with parents or teens. It is rigorous, thought and action provoking. The depth of the material and the experience was life changing.

The Academy for Family Coach Training is the new name of the former Parent as Coach Academy. This new name better represents our focus and goals to involve more types of professionals in our programs. Our commitments and programs are the same, only updated and revised for greater impact. Self employed service-based professionals: coaches, educators, trainers, therapists, doctors, info-preneurs, and anyone committed to using the high impact technologies of professional life coaching - your time has come!

Our celebrated coach training program, The Advanced Coaching Course is designed to teach you how to have a life changing impact in your community, your social service organization, your coaching or therapy practice, your business environment when you work with Gen Y or X, your school or religious organization, and of course your home! While anyone can hang out a coaching shingle, you will create an offering based on time tested systems and principles, a sound philosophic base and power-packed tools for immediate results with your clients. Get ready to get the lead out!

Here are just a few of the things you will learn in the Advanced Coaching Course about Teen Coaching, Parent Coaching, and Family Coaching:

Learn how to:

• Base your parent, teen or family coaching offering on a philosophical backbone.
• Design your coaching business around your values and passion.
• Start your service business with real world marketing tools that work!
• Make a difference with your clients - in the first session!
• Use your past experience or professional platform to leverage your new service – with confidence!
• Take this material into social service agencies, prisons, mentoring programs, schools and religious organizations as a team member, employee or consultant.
• And much more!

Utilizing what you learn at The Academy for Family Coach Training, you will quit wasting time with strategies that produce little or mediocre results and begin creating prosperity in your coaching business or any service-based business/offering you choose for the rest of your life.

Whether you are brand new to the coaching profession or an experienced coach, the Advanced Coaching Course has something for you. Yes, it is rigorous. Yes, it will challenge you (personally & professionally). Yes, it is fun. This program has been instrumental in making me a better coach, but more importantly a stronger individual.
