Ever wonder what our Relationship Coach Training (RCT) students go through to become relationship coaches? Curious to know what you can gain from taking RCT? In this week’s podcast, seven RCT students, who are halfway through the course, share their personal experiences and offer insight about their journeys in becoming a relationship coach. During this conversation, I felt my heart expand many times. It’s so incredible what these students are experiencing. This group is pretty dynamic as they all come from different walks of life and career backgrounds. I asked them some questions on how the RCT course has helped them with their current relationships and parenting, how it influenced their self-growth and what their aspirations are after they finish the course and become relationship coaches. We got into a very candid conversation that you do not want to miss. Here’s one of the other questions I asked them: What is your biggest takeaway so far in this course? If you want to know the answer to this question and curious to learn what this group of RCT students is gaining from the course, I invite you to listen to the podcast.
