I really appreciate the integrative approach taken by this training program. Integration is such a fundamental aspect of human development. Everyone at the institute was very helpful and professional. Laurel went above and beyond to help me apply for my ICF credential and I look forward to using all the informative concepts and powerful practices with my clients!

"Deep down I have always believed in myself but never really allowed it to rise to the surface. For years, I have mentored and advised others to believe in themselves when I never really, truly understood what that meant, until I took this course. I have always heard people say, "good job", "you're such a wonderful person", or "you're amazing", but was I really listening?
About 3/4 of my way through this course, I had a huge positive change in mindset, a shift. I was now starting to listen and embrace all the wonderful like-hearted people that I was meeting along my journey of positive heart-focused change.
Laurel & Lauren were two of these wonderful like-hearted people. I feel so blessed to have met them. They have changed my life. And so have the wonderful people that I met during my Cohort. All beautiful people.
To be totally transparent, I was one of those people that was not sure if I could be a Coach. I put it off for over a year. Then I just decided to give it a go. Little did I know the amazing journey I was kicking off."

"For many years, I worked with communities, teams and individuals to help make lives better. And for the purpose of public health programming, I think I did a great job. It wasn't until I went through Laurel's program that I realized that I had basically been practicing without a license. Her program unlocked possibilities within me that I'm still discovering."

"Completing the CPIC program at The Institute for Integrative Intelligence has been an incredible experience, full of both personal and professional transformation. Each class has prepared me to not only be able to coach people from all walks of life, but has given me the tools to be a better person with greater understanding, empathy, presence and appreciation.
This program has taught me the skills and tools needed to take clients to new heights through self exploration, creation of a framework to experience life with ease, energy and well-being and to get from feeling stuck to discovering new potentials. The possibilities are infinite and growth and well-being are limitless.
The teachers, mentors and staff are extremely knowledgeable, supportive and inspiring. The connections I have made through this program are invaluable and will last a lifetime. I am so fortunate to be part of this network and highly recommend this program!"

"This program has been life-changing for me. I started with a curiosity about people and am now trained to hold space for people and help them discover themselves. The Institute for Integrative Intelligence gave me the tools to consider the whole person in not only a coaching situation but in all situations.
Along with these tools, I've met people in all different capacities of coaching that are heart-centered and highly qualified. I'm honored to have met these people and will cherish these connections.
I'm grateful to Laurel and the entire Institute for Integrative Intelligence team for sharing their knowledge and wisdom with me from the start of this life-changing process to it's completion, allowing for the ups and downs that are inherent in a program that requires inner work to be done prior to sharing tools with the clients."

"I was able to take IICTs training during the start of Covid, when the world felt a little upside down and there was a lot we didn’t know about the future. Being able to take the training at that time allowed for those of us in the program to bond and connect in deep ways and I'm so glad I had the opportunity to take it. Sometimes timing is everything! The skills I have learned and built upon through my training with IICT have helped me in my personal life as well as my career. IICT does a great job of preparing their coaches to start their own business and to coach confidently. I highly recommend this program!"

"After working with a professional coach for myself at a key state in my career, I was introduced to Integrative Coaching. My coach later told me about the program. The Institute made it possible for me to gain the credentials that would span boundaries. The Integrative method is much better suited to my overall life skills, too than compared to the health coach that I was previously. Thank you for a great program!"
Rebecca Ganz, CC |
"I can’t tell you how wonderful the program was — it was truly a milestone in my life, and it meant the world to me to attend. I found it wonderful and feel it is an opening for something bigger than I realize right now. You were an excellent instructor and guide. Thank you very much for all you do to help people find coaching!"

"The Institute's Integrative approach to coaching honors that the client is a whole person with interconnected needs and values. It celebrates that clients, as well as coaches, are spiritual beings having a human experience. I felt completely supported through Prescott’s program. I feel confident that the program has given me all of the tools and skills I need to be a successful coach. Coaching has given me a new and deeper way to connect to people. Working with clients has brought me joy and fulfillment so that my work day barely feels like work."
