REALIFE Conversations for Christian Coaches Ep. 361 - Why We Changed Our Certification (And What It Means for Coaches)
In this episode of REALIFE Conversations for Christian Coaches, Teresa and Erica take you behind the scenes of how the REALIFE Process® Coach Certification and how it has grown and evolved over the past several years—from Enneagram Circles and year-long cohorts to today’s streamlined Accelerator Certification.
They share honestly about “building the plane while flying it,” listening deeply to their community, and recognizing that certification isn’t just training—it’s a formation journey. You’ll hear how the process has shifted from a 12-month experience to a focused one-day Accelerator plus 90 days of integration, coaching, and community inside the REALIFE Process® Network.
Whether you’re a coach, consultant, spiritual director, or therapist, this conversation will help you:
- Give yourself permission to evolve your offers as you grow
- Clarify your core content and resist overloading your clients with tools
- See certification as spiritual and personal formation, not just a checkbox
- Explore whether the REALIFE Process® Accelerator Certification might be your next best step
