Frequently Asked Questions
Are our trainings online or in-person?
We offer both online (live) and in-person trainings.
Check out our schedule of upcoming trainings to see which are online (live) and which are in-person.
(Our in-person trainings are held in the Greater Los Angeles area.)
How do our trainings differ from most standard educational offerings?
In contrast, we consider your unique learning style and provide you with a good balance of “what”, “how”, “why” and “what if”. Learning with us is a unique opportunity to receive maximum one-on-one interaction with top-level instructors (similar to the renowned “Tutorial Method”, pioneered at the University of Oxford), enrich your mind in new and engaging ways, and experience a huge, positive shift!
Experiential learning is a well-known model in education. It builds skills, confidence, and gives you the opportunity to practice. It also develops attitudes such as curiosity, a willingness to experiment, and self-direction.
Also, being hands-on is crucial when learning NLP and hypnotherapy because it allows you to engage in kinesthetic learning while also having access to real-time coaching and feedback as you learn.
Can you take Module 1 now, and Module 2 later?
Yes, and please keep the following in mind:
You are being certified in our innovative approach to helping others through the utilization of a customized blend of modern, change methods.
Obtaining your six certifications by completing both Modules 1 and 2 will earn you your final (7th) certification as an Advanced Life Skills Coach™.
We designed our one-of-a-kind, two-module training in Advanced Life Coaching™ so that you acquire a keen appreciation of (and direct experience with) the power of working deeply with the subconscious mind in Module 1.
Module 1 is 40% of learning our advanced approach to helping others.
Successful coaching is everything that takes place before the hypnotherapy/guided imagery begins in your sessions with clients. Great hypnotherapists are great coaches as well!
Module 2 is 60% of our unique, results-oriented training. You are trained in 75 more hours of the most innovative approaches to effective, solution-based coaching that also work with your client’s subconscious mind (a crucial factor that’s usually absent in the majority of coach trainings).
This enables you to holistically work “outside the box”, have a deeper understanding of your client’s unique issues, ask the right questions, customize your approach to each individual client (a rarity in the helping professions), help them quickly let go of negative emotions and limiting beliefs from their past, and much more.
Additionally, by completing both modules, you will experience a breakthrough in your own personal and professional growth—plus have a powerful skill set for a more compelling future.
Please visit our Module 2 page to learn more about the importance of the remainder of your training.
You can also refer to the FAQ “How are the coaches we train different from other coaches?” below to learn more about the difference that makes the difference.
Can you take Module 2 before taking Module 1?
Yes, and please keep the following in mind:
You are being certified in our innovative approach to helping others through the utilization of a customized blend of modern, change methods.
And Module 2 is only 60% of learning our results-oriented system.
Obtaining your six certifications by completing both Modules 1 and 2 will earn you your final (7th) certification as an Advanced Life Skills Coach™.
We designed our unique, one-of-a-kind 125-hour training in Advanced Life Coaching™ so that you first acquire a keen appreciation of (and direct experience with) the power of working deeply with the subconscious mind as your initial foundation before going into your next trainings.
Great coaches know how to work with the subconscious mind!
Therefore, we recommend that students who have no prior experience in working with the subconscious mind complete our 50-hour Module 1 training before taking Module 2.
Please visit our Module 1 page to learn more about the importance of the remainder of your training.

Regardless of profession, the majority of people attending our training are searching for—and finding—better and more effective ways to increase their performance and improve their effectiveness!
Why do people usually hire a coach?
Every world champion has had a coach.
—Jay Conrad Levinson
Sometimes a person doesn’t always know exactly what to do to make the change and improvement they need in their lives. Deep down, they know they can do it, but they stumble around a bit, trying this and that.
Then, they reach their “enough is enough” point and are finally willing to do whatever it takes to learn how to achieve their goal.
It is at this point that they’ll hire a coach to help ensure they achieve a successful outcome. Coaching can better your ability to create the future you desire in your personal and professional life.
Coaching is the process of helping people and teams to perform at the peak of their abilities. It involves drawing out people’s strengths, helping them to bypass personal barriers and limits in order to achieve their personal best.
—Robert Dilts
One of the many ways coaching can help you is in developing greater communication within yourself and with others.
And an excellent coach—trained by us—will use a variety of proven skills, solution-oriented strategies, and transformative techniques—all uniquely designed to get results.
And the results are: better performance in life!
How are the coaches we train different from other coaches?
Our Coaches believe that their clients already have all the resources within that they need in order to achieve their desired outcome. And they help them tap into those resources.
Rather than force their “model of the world” onto their clients, or limit them (and their results with them) by putting them “in a box” (or theory), they work within their client’s “model of the world” and help them to discover the solutions that are there, under the surface.
THE DIFFERENCE THAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE:
You have a conscious mind, and you have a subconscious mind. Our Coaches work holistically with both, to encourage whole brain thinking; thereby maximizing their client’s strengths, flexibility, and resourcefulness.
There’s a big difference between one’s intellect (their conscious mind) and their behavior (their subconscious, or habitual mind). It’s the difference between “talking the talk” (desired behavior) and “walking the walk” (actual behavior). The difference that makes the difference.
The simple fact is many in the coaching profession are not trained to work with their client’s subconscious mind.
Our Coaches are.
If you’re not training in working with the subconscious mind, you can be quite limited in dealing with your client’s emotional/behavioral issues and unresolved inner conflicts. And these are the very elements that, more often than not, stand in the way of a client’s success!
WHY THAT’S IMPORTANT:
There is no better improvement a person can make than to gain more control over their internal, mental, and emotional processes.
Our Coaches put their emphasis on helping their clients gain greater control of these processes because it’s directly related to their client’s ability to be productive, resourceful, and effective.
Another problem sometimes with being coached by someone with little to no understanding of the subconscious mind, is it can often sound like a bunch of platitudes without any precise method to increase your motivation and get the desired results.
Many coaches offer a whole lot of WHAT—and not a lot of HOW. So, their clients get a lot of conscious concepts that appeal to their intellect, or conscious mind (about 10% of your mind, the “tip of the iceberg”). However, most significant behavioral change occurs with the involvement and cooperation of the subconscious, or habitual mind (the other 90%).
MORE ABOUT OUR COACHES:
This is why our Coaches who’ve been certified in Advanced Life Coaching, Hypnotherapy, and NLP are often a greater resource to a client seeking solid help with a problem or goal in their life because they’re simply better equipped to guide that client toward a successful outcome and an enhanced quality of life.
Our Coaches have a thorough understanding of behavior modification, as well as expertise in proven systems that facilitate deeper levels of long-term change so they can quickly help clients to gain profound insight, resolve old patterns, and let go of the negativity, limiting beliefs, and inner conflicts that are blocking happiness, prosperity and success from their lives. This leads to increased wholeness and more options in life for their clients.
So, not only are their clients issues resolved—their clients experience significant personal breakthroughs as well.
YOUR TRAINING WITH US:
During your training with us, you’ll benefit from lots of “hands-on” direct experience utilizing what you’re learning. In other words, our training will enhance both your intelligence (“talking the talk”) and your behavior (“walking the walk”). They’re specially designed to teach both your conscious and unconscious mind—so that real, whole brain learning can occur.
Our Coaches learn how to: facilitate change, ask meaningful questions, motivate, create insight, challenge, support and encourage the growth of their client’s individual self-expression. They simply get results.
How are the coaches we train different from traditional therapists?
Our Coaches don’t have their clients spend a lot of time wallowing in the content of “the problem”.
They focus on: (1) how the client processes that content; (2) discovering the structure of what prevents the client from achieving their goal; (3) changing that structure to make the client’s goal more achievable; (4) the overall development and growth of their client as an individual during the coaching process; and (5) the client’s future goals and objectives.
OUR COACHES... | TRADITIONAL THERAPISTS... |
---|---|
...work with a Client. | ...work with a Patient. |
...ask the questions "HOW, WHAT and WHAT IF?" Generally, we do not ask WHY because, as it is usually used, it just gets reasons and not results. It gives us more content, and not the structure or the process. | ...ask the question "WHY?". |
...assume emotions are natural and look for the INTENTION and PURPOSE for the expression of those emotions. | ...take for granted that emotions are a sign that something is wrong, and are therefore to be avoided. |
...are interested in a client’s present, and work to help them in creating a compelling future (in our understanding we also realize that in order to create the future you want, you have to get rid of past obstacles). | ...generally work with a patient’s past and the traumatic events therein, and seek healing of those events. |
...assume that their client is healthy (not broken) and that they want to create a better future. | ...diagnose mental illnesses and attempt to deal with identifiable conditions in a patient. |
...are in a partnership of equals with their client. (The coach offers techniques and encourages and guides the client to find their own solutions). | ...are in a doctor-patient relationship (where the doctor has the solution). |
...focus on actions, outcomes, and process—remembering that their client is perfectly capable of best performance, and only has to get in touch with those capabilities. | ...focus on the patient being broken, and somehow has to be fixed. |
...help their client discover the process by which they prevent the achievement of goals and objectives, and then to learn new ways of thinking, new ways of looking at things. They offer techniques to help build more control over inner capabilities thus creating a compelling and achievable future with the focus on outcomes. | ...generally through conversation, encourage the patient to talk about and thereby resolve old pain. The focus is on reliving pain and symptoms to get rid of them. |
...are about understanding the past as a framework for the present and creating the future. | ...are about fixing the patient by understanding and fixing their past. |
...remember that coaching is a model of learning and potentiality which focuses on the future and its achievable goals and outcomes. | ...relies on the DSM (the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the APA) to diagnose pathology. Operates in a medical or clinical manner. |
...align mentally with their client; then, through a discussion, identify the challenges and provide coaching to move beyond them to create wins. In the process, the client is responsible to achieve the outcomes. We realize that the client ALWAYS has control over their results. | ...target a diagnosis for the patient; then puts forth their training in diagnosis and treatment of disease and then offers a path to healing. |
The changes amaze most clients since they are so fast and so much fun. | In most psychotherapy, the patient’s progress is time consuming and (can be) agonizing. |
What is hypnotherapy and how can it help?
Hypnotherapy is the use of hypnosis as a therapeutic technique.
It’s been approved by the American Medical Association since 1958. And it’s long been known as an effective, evidence-based solution for stress, habit control and self-improvement.
The purpose of hypnosis as a therapeutic technique is to help you understand and gain more control over your behavior, emotions or physical well-being.
—The Mayo Clinic
You have a “treasure chest” hidden deep within your mind that can allow you to create some very effective changes in your life within a relatively short period of time.
It’s called your subconscious (or unconscious) mind. And it’s considered to be the source of your motivation, habits, behaviors, attitudes, emotions, and self-talk.
I believe hypnosis has profound powers to help you stop sabotaging yourself.
—Dr. Oz
How’d you know to be you when you got up this morning? Your subconscious (or habitual) mind is a lot like a database that runs patterns of behavior—largely independent of your conscious mind—based on your programming from your past.
In other words, you’re “on auto-pilot” the majority of your day.
Hypnotherapy accesses and unlocks this powerful part of the mind in order to help you quickly and easily change (or “re-write”) your old programming and patterns of behavior.
Hypnosis is a heightened sense of suggestibility for accessing the subconscious mind which is responsible for up to 90 to 95 percent of our thoughts and actions.
—The Washington Times
When you want to make a change or improvement in your life, the logic of your conscious mind alone—without the cooperation of the motivation from your subconscious mind—is often ineffective. (In other words, you “say it”, but you don’t “do it”.)
Hypnotherapy can help you to effectively change habits of an entire lifetime and to create a healthier reality for yourself.
Hypnosis is the epitome of mind-body medicine. It can enable the mind to tell the body how to react, and modify the messages that the body sends to the mind.
—The New York Times
Hypnotherapy provides an ideal environment for learning new things (re-programming the database).
A comparative study published in Psychotherapy Magazine, v7n1 and in Psychotherapy: Theory, Research, and Practice found hypnotherapy to be one of the most effective of all the major therapeutic approaches:
- Psychoanalysis: 38% recovery after 600 sessions
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: 72% recovery after 22 sessions
- Hypnotherapy: 93% recovery after 6 sessions
Hypnotherapy is an impressive choice in terms of (1) the cost, (2) the short duration of therapy, and (3) the results.
I think it should be much more widely used. It’s safe, it’s inexpensive and it can produce dramatic results.
—Dr. Andrew Weil
What does hypnotherapy feel like? Is it safe?
Hypnotherapy is completely safe, relaxing, enjoyable and surprisingly effective.
Because of the often ridiculous way it’s often been portrayed in movies and TV, some mistakenly think it isn’t safe. However, the fact is: Therapeutic hypnosis has helped millions of people to create healthy change in their lives for the past 60 years.
Hypnosis is not mind control. It’s a naturally occurring state of concentration; It’s actually a means of enhancing your control over both your mind and your body—over perceptions such as pain, anxiety, habits, stress.
—Dr. David Spiegel, Stanford University School of Medicine
Therapeutic hypnosis isn’t the same as “stage” hypnosis. Stage hypnosis is performed solely for the purpose of entertaining an audience. Therapeutic hypnosis is performed in a clinical setting—with your best interests in mind—by a hypnotherapist, solely for the purpose of helping you meet your desired outcome.
Even though stage hypnotists and TV shows have damaged the public image of hypnosis, a growing body of scientific research supports its benefits in treating a wide range of conditions, including pain, depression, anxiety and phobias.
—American Psychological Association
The state of hypnosis is a very natural, very real, very normal state of mind. In essence, it’s a receptive learning state. And it’s not so different from the state you’re in when you’re watching a good movie, daydreaming, enjoying an interesting book, being overwhelmed by the beauty of nature, or listening to song that moves you.
Contrary to how hypnosis is sometimes portrayed, you don’t lose control over your behavior while under hypnosis. You generally remain aware of and remember what happens under hypnosis.
—The Mayo Clinic
It’s basically paying attention, while feeling increasing levels of relaxation. During hypnotherapy, you’ll remain completely aware of everything that’s going on, as you’re guided through some beneficial imaginative processes; so:
- Don’t expect to feel “hypnotized”.
- Do expect to feel relaxed.
- You won’t say or do anything you don’t want to.
- You’re in total control.
Your natural ability to go into relaxed states of focused awareness is utilized and enhanced through hypnotherapy for the purpose of helping you access, unlock, and reprogram the deeper, motivating areas of your mind. And the results are: welcome changes in your behavior.
Though often denigrated as fakery or wishful thinking, hypnosis has been shown to be a real phenomenon with a variety of therapeutic uses…
—Scientific American
Anyone can experience therapeutic hypnosis if they’re willing to, and can follow simple instructions. Those who claim they “can’t be hypnotized” usually (1) have yet to be informed about what therapeutic hypnosis actually is, and/or (2) are just unwilling to “be hypnotized”.
It’s a “do with” process, not a “do to” process.

What are the learning preferences of the typical person we train?
Individuals who come to our trainings are, typically, fast learners who enjoy:
- Learning “what works” intensively and in the shortest possible time (instead of material being spread out over a long period of time with unnecessary, often incongruent and dated “filler” material).
- A fun, modern, relaxed environment (instead of a traditional classroom environment).
- A smaller class size with greater interaction with instructors (instead of a larger class size with less interaction).
- Flexibility—learning more than one way to do something (instead of being boxed in by authoritarian, “only one way to do it” systems).
- Lots of “hands-on” direct experience (instead of lots of boring lectures).
- An environment that builds on their strengths as an individual (instead of a “one size fits all” cookie-cutter approach).
