Learn Master Coaching the InnerLifeSkills way
WITH COLLEEN-JOY AND HER TEAM
So, you’ve decided to become a professional internationally certified coach? And you’re exploring top Master Coaching programs (which means you’re committed to this inspiring career path), brilliant!
Our Master Coaches have maximum creative flexibility and can empower their clients at the highest levels. But choosing a master coach certification program right for you isn’t easy (there’s a big investment of time, money and effort on the line).
On this page, find the info you need to consider us as your training provider.
What critical coaching skills do you need?
These days all professional coaches completing an accredited certification learn these critical coaching skills.
- 1. Rapport Skills (trust building).
- 2. Questioning Skills (the art and science of asking empowering questions.
- 3. Coach Presence Skills (remaining centred and professional even in tough conversations.
This is why we teach them in Coach 101, our online foundational live coaching Zoom course, along with a 3-Step Method to add scaffolding to any coached conversation.
We’ve found over the decades that the 3 Critical Skills, plus our 3-Step Method (taught in Coach 101), fast tracks our coaches to acquiring their ICF Core Competencies (which can be confusing and complex).
Should you choose a niche before you start?
This is one of the biggest, most costly (coaching dream-killing) mistakes we see. The mainstream advice given to most new coaches is to:
1. Choose a NICHE 2. Create an OFFER, then 3. LAUNCH yourself out there using digital marketing or networking.
A niche is ONLY important for MARKETING. It’s for the SHOP WINDOW, not the shop. You can severely limit yourself if you try to choose a niche too soon. When I mentor certified coaches who can’t find clients, I ask, “Are you trying to choose one niche and stick to it?” Almost all say, “Yes, how did you know?”
They feel stuck. Meanwhile, my graduate InnerLifeSkills Master Coaches hear me rant so often about this that they “un-niche” themselves. They show up relaxed and trusting their multi-niche toolboxes. This frees them to CUSTOM-BUILD coaching solutions for the person in front of them.
Why life coaching is not enough.
My students roll their eyes when they hear me say this for the umpteenth time, “Don’t sell coaching; tell people where your coaching takes them.”
When you travel to a beautiful paradise island, you don’t want to see photos of the aeroplane; you want to see the pristine beaches. People don’t care HOW we get them there; they want to know WHERE we take them. What’s the transformation? What’s the change we can bring?
This is why I tell my graduate Master Coaches, “Rather add life coaching to your list of services and create a unique coaching BRAND than call yourself a Life Coach.”
I also suggest a multi-niche toolbox of the BIG 4 Life Coaching + Executive + Business + Enneagram Coaching for maximum income potential.
Our InnerLifeSkills speciality toolboxes: Intuition, Personal Power, Relationship, Systemic, Purpose and Dream Builder Coaching will add more client-attracting power and freedom.
There are exceptions, but this works well.
Can you blend Master Coaching with mentoring, consulting or therapy?
Yes. Just know when you put on your coaching hat to draw from the strength of pure, no-advice giving coaching. And when you are switching to advice-giving, leading, consulting and teaching.
We train many Managers as Coaches, psychologists, consultants, financial planners and healers.
Who studies Master Coach Certification?
Natural Coaches who want to go pro with internationally accredited MCC-level certification.
Professionals who want to add sought-after ICF benchmarked coaching competencies to their existing work: managers, leaders, consultants, trainers, practitioners, therapists, and psychologists.
Working Coaches who are working towards ICF ACC, PCC and MCC credentialing and who want multi-niche speciality toolboxes and guidance to grow their coaching business.
With InnerLifeSkills Master Coach you’ll get progressive training from foundation skills (Coach 101) to ICF Competencies (Global Coach) to a unique toolbox (Intuition, Relationship, Systemic, Purpose and Enneagram Coach) plus Business Building mentoring. Also, live coaching training for in-the-moment feedback, mentoring and practice time in class with your community of fellow coaches.

Unlock your earning potential with 6 Speciality Coaching Toolboxes
After interviewing our most successful Master Coach graduates (5-15 years of 5-star ratings, who won 1-2 year coaching contracts), we were shocked. Not a single one of them had a single niche.
