Transitional Coach Training
Internationally Accredited (IAOTH)
The transitional coach supports those who are experiencing halts in the progress of their goals due to end-of-life-as-we-know-it occurrences.
This includes returning to work or change of career after evenings such as marriage, bereavement, child birth, retrenchment, divorce.
The transitional coach supports their client in creating goals that take into account the new version of self and understands that end-of-life-as-you-know-it events can be “happy occasions” and yet still create a drastic change in self.
