What Corey says about The Coaching Guild

September 11, 2024

We love Corey Dobyns

"My time at the Coaching Guild has been both transformative and challenging in ways I didn’t fully anticipate. With a background in group coaching and facilitation, I was looking for a refresh. What I found was a deeply enriching experience that exceeded my expectations. Not only am I now prepared for a coaching career, but I also experienced significant personal growth along the way. This program isn’t just about learning concepts—it’s about subtle, ongoing integration. By the end, I had developed content for my website, solidified my identity as a coach, and gained the confidence needed to move forward.

What I Appreciated:

Lisa Hayes’ Leadership:
Lisa Hayes is a leader in our field, challenging traditional coaching paradigms with honesty and innovation. Her approach disrupts power structures and challenges the status quo. If you’re ready for deep, meaningful work, I highly recommend connecting with Lisa.

Community Support:
The Guild fosters a strong sense of community through its cohort model. The relationships I formed and the diverse perspectives I encountered were invaluable, providing support and encouraging deeper reflection throughout the program.

Practical Application:
The program’s emphasis on real-world application, through weekly calls and homework assignments, was a highlight. This approach helped me solidify my understanding and skills by applying concepts in real time.

The Coaching Guild is a rigorous and rewarding program suitable for coaches at any stage of their career. Whether you’re looking to transition into coaching or deepen your existing practice, this program offers the tools and community support needed for meaningful growth. Lisa’s careful selection of cohort members ensures a cohesive, supportive learning environment. My experience at the Coaching Guild provided exactly what I needed to pivot my career, and I highly recommend it to anyone committed to serious growth in the coaching field."
