Are there additional fees after I have enrolled in the WISDOM Coaching Program

Recently we’ve started to offer additional coaching opportunities for coaches who are wanting more personal support in their business. These services are not a requirement for being successful as a WISDOM Coach and are optional.

Your WISDOM Coach License does have an annual renewal of $297 to extend your license for another year and maintain access to the abundance of marketing/business/coaching resources, referral opportunities through Connect with a Coach program, listing on the WISDOM Coach website, Q&A calls, and private Facebook group.

 

How long does it take to become a WISDOM Coach?

Our coaches get certified in a “home study” format and everything you need to complete your certification is available on the WISDOM Coach® website. You can get started as soon as you enroll!

We recommend budgeting about 18 – 27 hours to get ready for your certification test (no need to be nervous – see below). Preparation involves going through your new coach training (about 2 hours) and then reviewing The Adventures in Wisdom Life Coaching Program for Kids Curriculum. “Studying” is a lot of fun because most of your preparation involves going through the stories and activities you’ll be using with kids (and you will have a lot of “ah ha” moments of your own)!

The test is about 30 questions, and is designed to help you feel confident and ready to use our work with kids. You can reference your materials and take as much time as you need to complete the test.

Most coaches take anywhere from 1 – 4 weeks to complete.  It’s up to you as to how fast you want to complete your certification!

Can I earn ICF CCEs (Continuing Coach Education) Credits for ICF?

Yes.  You will earn 18 Resource Development Continuing Coach Education Credits (ICF RD CCE) after you complete your certification.

Do I have to travel?

No! Our coaches complete their certification remotely in a “home study” format which means you can get started right away from the comfort of your own home or office.

You don’t have to wait for a specific training date, deal with time zone issues, or pay hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, on airplane flights, hotel rooms, and other travel expenses!

Do I have to be a life coach before I become a WISDOM Coach?

Although most of our WISDOM Coaches have a coaching, counseling, or teaching background, it is not a requirement.

The most important requirements are to have a passion for empowering kids and a passion for personal development.

Our curriculum is designed to help you be successful with your work with kids. Each skill book contains a Mentor’s Guide (which contains the background information and coaching tips) and a Children’s Guide (which contains the stories, discussion questions, and exercises).

We cover this in more detail in the audio overview. Click here to listen!

Life coach kids!

We have more than one person in our company. Do we need multiple certifications?

We have a special license called the WISDOM Institution License that enables a company to certify one WISDOM Coach® and multiple WISDOM Teachers to deliver services under that company’s business name.

To learn more about this, be sure to let us know you are interested in the WISDOM Institution License in your application and we will discuss the best path for you during your Coaching Kids Strategy Session Call.

What are the core values of Adventures in Wisdom?

There are five core values that we run our company on and that we ask our WISDOM Coaches to follow as well:

Integrity and Ethics – to us this means choosing integrity at all times -never do anything you wouldn’t want your family reading about all over the Internet.
Professionalism and Respect – to us that means treating others as you would want to be treated.  Creating an environment that you would want your own children to work in.
Passion and Empowerment – we want to work with people who wake up every day wanting to make a positive difference in the world by empowering others (both children and adults) to be all they can be – to own their magnificence and reach their fullest potential.  We are passionate about helping children thrive in life and we are passionate about help you succeed too!
Accountability and Ownership – taking ownership of your mission and of your business will support your success.
Having fun! We’re empowering kids while living our purpose.  Let’s have fun together!

Those of you who join us as WISDOM coaches will help us instill this value system in our community.
