The Skill-Building Intensive offers students the opportunity to develop fluency and confidence in the steps, skills, and techniques used to help others successfully pursue goals for positive change in their life, work, health, and relationships. This course includes extensive demonstrations and practice sessions, in which students rotate the roles of coach, client, and observer. Together, we will work through each step of the CHANGE model for helping others (and ourselves) to create lasting, meaningful change.

As a clinician, I am always navigating that delicate balance between the coaching world and the clinical world. This course gave me clarity on both, and a pathway to marry them and enhance my coaching and clinical therapist roles. —Danielle B. Stanley, LCSW, Certified Mediation Specialist and Certified Child Advocate
This course was great for me to further build my fluency with the CHANGE model. The peer-coaching group was an added bonus from an experiential-learning perspective. Overall, the course was another step in building my confidence and coaching skills.
I really enjoyed Phoebe’s and Jennifer’s engagement and authentic interest in supporting us. Sending us all the material and creating this community was very helpful. Thank you to both of you!
I took this course to broaden and deepen my coaching expertise through a field that aligns with my values and is evidence based. I have learned so much as a coach and as a human being about thriving and flourishing through rigorous evidence-based approaches. I also had a lot of fun and met many like-minded souls through the peer-coaching component.
Exciting, powerful, and leaving me with high hope.
I strongly recommend WBI’s Positive Psychology Coaching certification program. The faculty and staff are enormously knowledgeable and supportive.
This Positive Psychology Coaching intensive provided a strong foundation in the application of theories that will enhance my work with clients. The peer-coaching triads were perfect for practicing the new skills and learning from others.
