Testimonials

As a Career Consultant, I found the Job Search Coaching course an extremely positive experience. Taking this course sharpened and improved my coaching skills, informed me of the latest job search techniques and tools, and most of all gave me a deeper understanding and 1-1 practice on how to apply ICF core competencies to the technical aspects of job search. Great class!

I highly recommend the Job Search Coaching course to practitioners who are interested in learning state-of-the-art job search resources while developing their core coaching competencies in this specialty. The course materials are exceptional with immediate, practical application for both coach and client. Job search content and coaching competencies were brought to life through readings, discussion, Joan's excellent demonstrations, and peer practice. Joan is an excellent instructor. She is committed to student development and brought expertise, energy, and excitement to this experience.

The Job Search Coaching course was amazing and the experience was wonderful. The course was well organized and the instructor was knowledgeable, warm, welcoming, and present. One of the signs of a good course is the takeaway and we received a wealth of information applicable for coaching.

I just completed Joan's Job Search Coaching course through the Institute of Life Coaching Training. I've been working as a career coach for several years but still found her class to be extremely helpful in improving my job search coaching skills along with providing me with a wealth of useful resources that I have already started implementing into my work. I think this class is great for both newcomers and for those who are just looking for new approaches and resources to add to their established career coaching practice.
