ACT for Coaches, with Gloria Walker, was one of the most efficient and exciting classes I have ever taken. Gloria is an amazing teacher who is able to take complex ideas and distill them into bite sized pieces.

The class involved lectures, group exercises, and some coaching based on the examples we gave in class. She always let us know that she was there to explain anything we may not have understood, but honestly, her teaching style is clear, and her slides and handouts are excellent. And her sense of humor makes even the most complicated concepts fun to learn.

One of the biggest surprises of the class is how the tools keep resonating as life unfolds. One of the questions I ask myself now is, are you hooked? If the answer is yes, then I do one of the exercises to unhook. I no longer have to be a prisoner of any thought.

I have used the tool of unhooking from thoughts with my clients as well. The way Gloria taught it made it easy for me to teach to others.

If you're thinking of upping your coaching game, and you need ICF credits, I highly recommend ACT for Coaches with Gloria Walker. She is an amazing teacher and I'm happy to call her friend.

I just completed the ACT for Coaches course, and I was delighted with the whole experience! I had gotten just a taste of ACT in my life coach training and wanted MORE… Gloria’s passion for teaching the subject was contagious, and the type of students her work attracts made for a safe space to dive into the tools and get vulnerable enough to see them in action.

I’d highly recommend this course to any and all life coaches who want a thorough and approachable introduction to ACT—you will learn simple and powerful tools to use with your clients, and in your own life!

— Cid Lough | Master Wayfinder Coach

I highly recommend Gloria’s ACT for Coaches course. I thoroughly enjoyed it and gained so many wonderful tools to apply not only with my clients, but in my own life as well. I was amazed at how often the tools came in handy in my own life as we were moving through the course!

Gloria has an enjoyable, clear & concise teaching style, and she also left a lot of room for discussion and application for the participants, which I loved and helped everything sink in for me more deeply. The course materials were laid out so clearly that they made the concepts & tools easy to follow, digest, and easy to reference in the future, as I’m sure I will be doing often.

Gloria clearly laid a path in how to utilize ACT specifically in the context of coaching, which is super important, and so helpful.

I ended this program with such a great supply of simple, yet powerful tools to utilize with my clients and myself, and feel confident using them.

— Shelly Haas | Well-Being Coach and Mentor

I am a fellow coach and I needed recertification for my ACC through the International Coaching Federation, so I went on the ICF site and found Gloria’s ACT for Coaches program. I had been interested in learning ACT for a while and Gloria’s program was the only one I found that was accredited by the ICF and that would give me the required CCE units I needed. When I met with Gloria to get details about the program, I found out it was just what I was looking for. Gloria’s teaching style is warm, open and inclusive and I learned a lot about ACT for coaching. In fact, since completing the class, I have used many of the exercises with my own clients. Thank you, Gloria!

One of my goals last year was to improve my communications, so I was intrigued when I saw a post about Gloria Walker’s NVC for Coaches. I’ve taken many courses over the years and have been disappointed, but that was not at all the case with NVC for Coaches.

Gloria explains the NVC concepts, brings in real-world examples, and facilitates discussions on how to apply them in our professional and personal relationships, which I really liked. The optional weekly assignments also allowed me to practice the concepts and reflect on the results.

If you're ready to take your coaching and relationships to the next level, I recommend signing up for Gloria Walker’s NVC for Coaches. The potential benefits are truly transformative.

— Roberta Gregoire | ACC

In NVC for Coaches, Gloria pares a huge topic down to the relevant details for coaches. If you’ve been thinking of reading the books, taking the classes, or joining a workshop so that you can translate what you learn into an effective way to work with your clients, stop and take NVC for Coaches first. Gloria provides the detail and background you need to effectively use NVC as a coaching tool and includes relevant tools in the training so that you don’t have to sift through the world of NVC information and find them yourself. By using the tools in class on a situation that you’re living through, you get to see first-hand how the tools will work in a coaching session.

This is a great investment in your coaching toolkit.

If you currently practice NVC and already include it in your coaching practice, I highly recommend giving yourself this opportunity to dive deeper into the concepts and practice in a structured and purpose driven class. Gloria’s depth of knowledge and teaching style is rich and poignant and will leave you with the tools to continue and support your NVC practice.

If you are new to NVC and have always wanted to get started, this is the perfect opportunity to learn what it is all about and add it to your tool box for yourself and your clients!

Gloria’s teaching is both knowledge-based and approachable. She weaves personal stories alongside valuable concepts, making the material easy to apply long after the class has ended. She also brings together impressive, intimate groups of people who want to learn from one another.

I now use NVC concepts daily. And it’s made a deep impact on how I approach my personal life and my coaching.
