What Students are Saying About the Coaching Guild: Graduate, Christina Hayes

September 23, 2022

In 2017 I had the opportunity to take a coaching course which left me feeling completely unprepared for my journey as a coach.


Now, I am proud to say that I am a recent graduate of The coaching Guild. The coaching Guild offered me science-based tools that I can utilize daily, the courage and support to move into my role as a coach, and challenged me to think outside of the box of who I am and what I want to do as a coach.



I began seeing clients before graduation and am happy to say that I feel strong in the tools I have gained in this last year.
