This might sound familiar…
You want to be confident handling a client’s most painful coaching requests
But worry you’ll come across as cold, fall in the pool or say the wrong thing
You know the Model but feel unsure about how to use it for grief
So you tip-toe around heavy topics and don’t feel as sure of your coaching as you’d like
You’ve heard our culture sucks at grief and want to have a better understanding of grief myths and theory
But don’t want to read all the books
Or maybe you’re where I was in 2017… wanting to help clients with grief but worried it will be too heavy or that you don’t have the required knowledge or experience?
If this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place and my Advanced Coaching Certification in Grief & Post Traumatic Growth will transform the way you coach.
Hi, I’m Krista St-Germain, Master Coach Instructor, Grief and Post Traumatic Growth expert, widow and host of The Widowed Mom Podcast.
After my husband was killed by a drunk driver when I was 40, my whole world fell apart. Therapy helped me get back to functioning and unfurl from the fetal position. And eventually I found myself stuck in a grief plateau. Everyone was telling me how strong I was but I didn’t feel strong. Instead, I felt empty, hollow and robotic and secretly worried that my best days were behind me.
Thankfully, I found life coaching and began doing my own research on Grief and Post Traumatic Growth. I applied what I learned and used it to create a future I could truly love instead of resigning myself to a “new normal” I didn’t want. And once I figured it out for myself, I decided to certify as a coach, quit my comfortable corporate job and have since built a 7 figure business helping other widows use their loss to create lives they genuinely love.
I’ve heard the saddest of sad stories.
I’ve held space for hundreds of clients as they wept.
I’ve listened to stories of lives falling apart, and then helped my clients rebuild the next chapter knowing that growth after trauma is possible for all of us.
Imagine how much more powerful your coaching will be when you are:
- 100% confident you can help a client genuinely love life again, even after they’ve experienced a profound loss
- Able to handle a client’s most painful coaching requests without worrying you’ll come across as cold or fall in the pool
- Clear on what can happen in a client’s brain and body because of grief and comfortable using The Model to help
- No longer tip-toeing around heavy coaching topics even when you haven’t experienced them personally
- Certain you can help your client no matter where they are in their grief
- Assured because you understand myths of grief that most people never question
- Comfortable with Grief Theory and confident you know what you need to know to coach effectively
- Secure in your ability to decide whether a client is ready for coaching based on where they are in grief because you know what to look for
- Prepared to support a client who is resents the idea of Post Traumatic Growth
- Good at spotting the grief myths at the root of a client’s coaching request
- Able to handle any display of emotion during a session
