Meet Colleen-Joy
Master Certified Coach and creator of InnerLifeSkills
At 13, during a dark night of the soul, Colleen dedicated her life to wisdom.
At 17 she was asked to teach. She’s been teaching ever since.
Today Colleen-Joy holds an MCC (the highest ICF credential), and is a published author, global speaker and entrepreneur who teaches others to build their Wisdom Well and live their natural Apple Tree purpose.
“I built InnerLifeSkills for people who want to make a living making a difference. Every day I am grateful to work with students and clients who inspire me.”
Col’s 8 wings, your support team
Colleen-Joy’s wingmen are two incredible Enneagram type 8 women.

What makes InnerLifeSkills different
We made InnerLifeSkills for you if…
Master tools, not generic ones
You don’t want the same tools all coaches use. You want master coach tools that set you apart.
Practical, not academic theory
You don’t want academic, theory-heavy training. You want internationally accredited certification with skills you can use on Monday.
Depth, not to-do lists
You don’t want surface, to-do-list coaching. You want to coach with depth.
We help you future-proof your career and custom-create solutions for the person in front of you, with our Big 4 most in-demand toolboxes: life, Enneagram, business and executive coaching. Or take all four to become an un-niched master coach with our ICF-accredited Level 2 Master Coach certification.
Paycheck and your purpose
Too many coach programmes have weak business building guidance, or leave no room for coaches who also mentor and consult. We think you shouldn’t have to choose.
InnerLifeSkills proves every day that you can make a living and make a difference.
If you feel called to coach, and you’re willing to roll up your sleeves, we’re here to show you how.
In their words
Two voices from the thousands we’ve trained.
“InnerLifeSkills restored my faith in coaching. I’ve completed three courses and hold two qualifications, and this was the only certification that gave me a complete set of tools and skills, and transformed me in the process. It’s the only way to go.”
Volker Schlettwein, coach and mentor to CEOs, founders and executives
“If you are thinking about becoming a coach, look no further. You’ll be rewarded with a satisfying coaching career, and you’ll become a more empowered, wiser and enlightened person too.”
Oksana Petersen, Geneva, Switzerland
The world needs more life-changing coaches
When someone learns to coach the InnerLifeSkills way, they build Wisdom Wells and grow Apple Trees of purpose wherever they go.
