In this second Open House, I walk you through the newly rebuilt Doctor Coach School™ certification: what it is, who it’s for, how it’s structured, and why our belief-based, neuroscience-informed methodology sets you up to transform lives and uphold the highest professional standards.

We cover the two tracks (Entrepreneur + Leadership & Institutional Change), the exact phases of training, how you’ll demonstrate mastery through real client transformation or an institutional change project, and the application + enrollment process. If you’ve felt called to coach and you want rigor, integrity, and results, this is for you.

What you’ll learn:

  • Why DCS certifies you in the metrics that matter (belief shifts, ethical client acquisition, and client transformation)
  • How we center emotional safety, precision, and professional excellence for you and your clients
  • The two tracks:
    • Entrepreneur Track (launching October 2025): build a coaching practice or integrate coaching into clinical work
    • Leadership & Institutional Change Track (launching 2026): lead change within academic/healthcare systems
  • The 3-phase pathway to certification (Entrepreneur Track):
    1. Coach the Self (8 weeks cohort): embodied belief, nervous system regulation, coaching identity
    2. Client Acquisition: offer design, StorySelling, ethical sales using my Sales Call Prescription
    3. Client Transformation: coach at least one paid client from problem → result, with supervision and evaluation
  • Program structure: 9 months with flexibility (up to 18 months to accommodate offer length and life cadence)
  • How DCS exceeds ICF core competencies, aligns with ICF & CCE standards, and our accreditation path
    • ICF Level 2 accreditation: actively in process, anticipated 2026
    • CCE provider approval: in process to enable Board Certified Coach eligibility

Why DCS is different:

  • Belief-based, neuroscience-informed coaching that certifies your ability to produce transformation, not just collect a credential
  • Proprietary frameworks you’ll master and make your own: Pocket of Belief™, Belief Flow™, Action-Belief Process™, Safety Formula™, CLAIM™ Method
  • Weekly live Skills Labs, mindset coaching, peer coaching, and mentor coaching with rigorous feedback and rubrics aligned to industry standards
  • Evaluation tied to real outcomes: either a paid client’s transformation (Entrepreneur Track) or a capstone change project (Leadership Track)
