“I cannot recommend this program highly enough. In addition to leaving the training with a toolkit of practical skills to be a better coach and manager, being part of this community has changed my life in ways I couldn't have imagined. I feel more connected to my values, inspired by my work, supported in my growth, and confident in my ability to serve others. I will be forever grateful to this "dream team" of instructors and my incredible cohort for helping me discover and let loose an inner coach with so much to offer.”

Senior Leader, Facilitator, Social Justice Advocate, Educator
“Upbuild Coaching Training changed my life. I entered the training hoping to refine my coaching skills and make progress towards establishing my business. I left with a completely new understanding of both my coaching practice and my outlook on life. I credit Upbuild with helping me to develop a new and profound understanding of the power of the body, intuition, and nature in helping us realize our fullest forms of self-expression. Not only am I now a far better coach than when I started, I am a happier and more inspired person.”

Rashi Singh
Organizational Effectiveness Leader
“There is no other organization I would trust to train me in how to be of service to others through coaching. The Upbuild program teaches coaching techniques that are valuable both in work and life. What sets it apart, however, is the coaching philosophy. The Upbuild team challenges students to understand their own obstacles to becoming the best versions of themselves, thereby equipping them to help clients do the same. The team has the uncanny ability to attract the highest caliber of students and instructors. In this program, I have gained invaluable skills as well as a real community of colleagues and friends. I recommend it to anyone seeking to better themselves and the world around them. “

People & Culture Specialist, CEO of TMatsu LLC
“I came in thinking I was going to learn to coach, but I walked away with much more than that, including a special cohort of friends who inspired me throughout the program. The initial container setting was excellent, allowing us to fully engage in each session. The facilitators were outstanding, balancing structure and adaptability. There are diverse modes of learning, from lectures and demos to peer and group coaching. I also loved what Upbuild stands for, and the organization’s values, vision, and mission are perfectly embedded in how the coaching training program is designed and delivered. An amazing program overall.”

“My goal in enrolling in the Upbuild training was to learn how to use coaching to facilitate genuine connection amongst fellow humans. What I found was that each Upbuild faculty member models an admirable level of vulnerability, determination, playfulness, and professionalism. I not only earned certification in coaching, I also gained a dear community, a clear understanding of how I want to live my life, and the foundations and support to begin my own practice.”

Community Host & Service Team Nurturer at The More Beautiful World LLC
“Upbuild’s program was rich, practical, and it reached deep into my soul. It not only gave me a huge tool box and skills to access, it also revealed to me that living my highest aspiration as a coach is an attainable path. The progression of the program is so artfully designed. I felt that I was learning and being prepared and primed for the next session each step of the way. The learning was natural and integrative. Even when I didn’t have time to review, the content would stick in my thoughts and impact me. I could not wait to get back to class and test out what we learned in real situations. The graduate program and community are also resources that continue to support my ongoing coaching work.“

Coach, Retreat Facilitator, Teacher
I came in with high expectations, and this program exceeded those expectations. I've been in the coaching and counseling world for many years, and the way that the Upbuild team not only educated us but demonstrated to us through every interaction what it means to imbibe the mood, demeanor and heart of a coach was truly masterful. I don't think there's better coaching training out there. Whether you're a seasoned coach looking to upgrade your skills, an aspiring coach looking to set your foundation, or simply seeking to live life as a better human and adopt a more meaningful, curious and dynamic experience of life, I highly recommend this program.
