"I would strongly recommend this program for those who are certified coaches who need to reboot, refresh their coaching skills. This program allowed me to remember why I wanted to become a coach and why coaching is incredibly powerful."
“Everyone should take this program. Professional coaches especially, but really everyone should take it.”
When you master the lessons of this program, you can't help but be a great coach. If you don't, no matter how great your "technical" skills, it's very hard to be a great coach. That's why we call it Fundamentals.
Fundamentals is not like other coach training. Most programs are all about “teaching” new “content.” While you may encounter new concepts in FoC, the true transformation arises from delving deeper into the wisdom you already possess.
The unique design and provocative content of Fundamentals prioritizes depth and connection over breadth, fostering a profound internal shift and practical results.
What would your life be like if you applied the wisdom you already know?
"Very meaningful and relevant to everyday life."
"Best coaching I've had in the last 10 years!"
Through this program you become better at connecting with everyone. It changes who you are. It makes you clearer and kinder. If that’s something you want for yourself or for the world, please consider joining us.
"Literally everything in my life has transformed!"
FoC is largely introspective. I may have something to teach you about how to bring out the best in others, but you have a lot to teach yourself. The process of FoC brings that forward. People who are already good at bringing out the best in others often get the most out of the program.
"Josh's class is experiential rather than didactic, and this is what makes it so powerful."
"Affirmed my innate knowledge and intuition and appreciative of learning new ways of breathing life into a deflated uncertain spirit."
The sessions are full of meditations and small group conversations. These are the best way to dig into your own wisdom. It's also fun. . . even on Zoom.
FoC focuses on enhancing our effectiveness in drawing out the best in others—an endeavor that taps into boundless potential. The themes of the six sessions are possibility, relaxation, action, desire, imagination, and transformation. Each is life changing.
"This program was everything I needed to up level my life.
I feel like there's a flow happening in my life again after a long period of feeling totally stuck. In 6 short weeks, I went from being weighed down by things I had been resisting to feeling energized to take action! My relationships have improved, I'm feeling more optimistic about my future and my life feels like it has meaning again. To say that this course has been life-changing is an understatement. It's been life affirming!
I didn't want it to end."
FoC sessions are two hours long, once a week for six weeks. There is no assigned homework, but there are experiments to undertake between sessions to deepen your learning. Session recordings and other goodies are shared after each session. There is also a private chat space where participants can communicate with each other or me between meetings.
"So many of us returned to class with heartwarming stories demonstrating the value of our learning."

"Josh is like a mix of Ted Lasso and Obi-Wan Kenobi!"
This program is the culmination of my life work as a corporate lawyer, a massage therapist, a high school teacher, a non-profit director, and–of course–as a coach. I’ve put my heart into it. And, I want to share it with you because it will serve you, and it will help you to serve the world better.
"As a parent, as a partner, as a person, this nourishes the best in me."

That's Where the Magic Happens
"This course has been carefully crafted to change you if you attend as a participant. There's value in the information and you could watch the videos, but this is about you experiencing what's discussed and contributing what you see alongside the other members of the cohort. That's where the magic happens. That's where you get to remember who you really are and see that same power and possibility in others. I loved this course and I'm so grateful to Steve Chandler for recommending Josh and his school. I will come back and repeat this in the future to go deeper and just for the sheer enjoyment of it."
— Lesley Darling, Intuitive Transformation Coach, England

A Catalyst for Me to Make a Necessary and Major Life Change
"I encourage any one with an interest in mentoring and supporting others to take Joshua Hornick's 'Fundamentals of Coaching' course. It is a fascinating exploration into philosophies and techniques of how to facilitate transformation - in oneself and others. I left each session feeling inspired, uplifted and with substantive new (or rediscovered) knowledge. Josh's course served as a catalyst for me to make a necessary and major life change, for which I will always be grateful. And Josh is full of humor, with a light-hearted, gentle approach that touches the hearts of all his students. And though he is obviously brilliant, Josh is always a humble and sincere source of wisdom and encouragement."

It's Been Life Affirming!
"This program was everything I needed to up level my life. I feel like there's a flow happening in my life again after a long period of feeling totally stuck. In 6 short weeks, I went from being weighed down by things I had been resisting to feeling energized to take action! My relationships have improved, I'm feeling more optimistic about my future and my life feels like it has meaning again. To say that this course has been life-changing is an understatement. It's been life affirming! I didn't want it to end."

Drawing Out What's Already Inside You
"What if the thing holding you back isn't a lack of knowledge, but not using the wisdom you already have? I used to think I needed more strategies, more content, more 'how-to.' But going deeper into what I already knew (something Joshua Hornick's Fundamentals of Coaching does REALLY well) brought me more than another strategy course ever could. This isn't your typical course. It's not about piling on new information. It's about drawing out what's already inside you, and that's where the magic happens. I learned this the hard way, after years of chasing shiny new frameworks and still feeling stuck. Here's what makes this program different: The sessions are experiential, not just lectures. You're in small groups, having real conversations, and actually feeling the change as it happens. The focus is on connection- first with yourself, then with others. I walked away clearer, kinder, and more effective in my relationships. The themes (possibility, relaxation, action, desire, imagination, transformation) aren't just buzzwords. Each one landed for me in a way that changed how I show up, not just as a coach, but as a person. No busywork. No endless homework. Just powerful experiments you can try between sessions, if you want to. The community is supportive and real. I found myself looking forward to every session, and the stories people shared were proof that this stuff works. I've taken a lot of trainings, but this is by far one of my favorites. It helps me remember why I wanted to coach in the first place. If you're a coach who needs a reboot, or just someone who wants to bring out the best in others (and yourself), I can't recommend this enough. I know it works, because I've taken it twice, and will probably do another round just to see what new things come up for me next time! Sometimes, the most powerful change comes from going deeper, not wider. This program helped show me how."

Best Coaching I've Had in the Last 10 Years!
"I have risen to new levels of wisdom, creativity, and vitality from taking the Fundamentals of Coaching program, twice. And it's amazing that the 2nd time while very similar to the first time pulled me forward in my life, real growth happened. I'm so much more aware of my way of being and the adjustments I need to make. Lucky me to have had this training, or as Josh mentioned regularly, 'I'm just reminding you what you already know'. My suggestion is to enroll and try it out. Best coaching I've had in the last 10 years!"
-
The Fundamentals of Coaching is NOT About Coaching
"The Fundamentals of Coaching is NOT about coaching. In fact this course is for everyone, especially those that are in a role where 'bring out the best in others' is important. That means parents, teachers, business owners, managers, friends and family. Like I said, everyone can take a pearl or two away with them by attending. When I enrolled, I thought that it might be worth while to 'get back to basics' with coaching because it had been a long time since I took a fundamentals course. This should have been my first fundamentals course and then the coaching courses! So thankful to have had this recommended to me and now I am doing the same for you. Best regards!"
-
Transformations Are Evident Even at the End of the First Day
"This program was a reminder of the power of coaching. Spending time with Joshua and the kind participants he attracts was a big inspiration to become a better listener and to reflect more deeply on what matters most to me. The transformations are evident even at the end of the first day of the program. And after that, it get's even better."

Need to Reboot, Refresh Their Coaching Skills
"I would strongly recommend this program for those who are certified coaches who need to reboot, refresh their coaching skills. I feel like I have really benefitted from each session as the insights are familiar but incredibly profound and I am weaving them into my coaching sessions with clients. I found every session beneficial. I appreciated the simplicity of the format. Remembering that learning is from doing and not from consuming was very helpful because moving into action is what coaching is all about. I am reflecting more and more about how to help my clients relax during the session and move them up the ladder of consciousness. This is a powerful exercise as a coach. I have seen a great deal of personal responsibility in a handful of my clients because I was able to put my own focus and attention to it in our sessions. If you're considering this program, don't hesitate to jump into it even if you can't attend the sessions live, the recordings are just as impactful. This program allowed me to remember why I wanted to become a coach and why coaching is incredibly powerful."
— Raelee Peirce, Certified Parent Coach, innerlifeparenting.com
PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION & LIFE CHANGE
I Could Not Have Predicted How This Course Would Help Me to Change
"What if you took a pause, relaxed, and made the people around you feel seen, heard, and understood? What if you embraced change and used your imagination to see new possibilities in the people around? What if you faced the world with expansion instead of contraction? What if you measured your success by how much kindness you created? What would you feel like and what could you be? This course helped me to better understand the way I relate to other people, and to envision new ways of relating to others. Before taking this course, I didn't even know what I hoped to gain, but I could not have predicted how this course would help me to change. I was able to implement strategies that helped me create change in my own life. I was also able to create healthier boundaries with others and with myself. As a Reiki practitioner, I know I will use many of the skills we cultivated during this course to help bring out the best in others for many years to come. Many thanks to Josh and all of the beautiful souls I met during this experience."

I Successfully Took Control Over My Sugar Addiction
"From being in this class with Joshua, I have been able to successfully take control over my sugar addiction. This is something that I have not been able to do in 47 plus years. Additionally, I really love the idea of live your future life, today!!"
-
I Learned a Great Deal About Myself
"This class helped me examine a work situation with a focused lens, allowing purchase, perspective, and possible avenues of experimentation. In the process, I learned a great deal about myself and strategies I can adopt to become a better version of myself as well as acting to bring out the best in others. Best of all, I connected with caring classmates to explore a new landscape together under the direction and care of Josh. I would highly recommend this class and Josh as a teacher."
— Paulina, Greenfield MA

Every Time You Do It Is Different

EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING & EMBODIMENT
Experiential Rather Than Didactic
"Change begins with you! If you have ever had an interest in helping others to make the changes they know they need and want to make, whether in business, sports, relationship or in any area of their life, then sign up for Josh Hornick's 'Fundamentals of Coaching' class and experience this amazing transformation in your own life. When you see the changes beginning to unfurl in yourself, you will know that you have witnessed firsthand, the principles at work. Josh's class is experiential rather than didactic, and this is what makes it so powerful."
— Piyali, Greenfield MA

Embodiment Rather Than Knowledge

A Shared Space of Becoming
"What a beautiful experience to step into a shared space of becoming. More than teaching and practicing skills, this program was about embracing and integrating in the now. Thanks so much Josh."
POWERFUL TRANSFORMATIVE ENERGY
Like Rocket Fuel for Personal Transformation
"Fundamentals of coaching is like rocket fuel for personal transformation. Josh's teaching style plants powerful seeds, that the group exercises incubate. Roots like the inter-relation between relaxation and optimum performance, and building potent rapport by asking poignant questions, are watered by courageous inquiry and creative collaboration. I learned first hand that the more I focused on generously bringing out the best in others the more I felt at my genuine best. What a joy Josh to watch you weave your wise head with your warm heart. (making you the poster man for Integraceion!)"

BRILLIANT FORMAT & STRUCTURE
This Program Has Made Me a Better Mentor
"I came into this course curious about the differences between coaching and mentoring. I leave the course understanding the differences and knowing that this program has made me a better mentor. The tripartite approach used in the course —Josh's comments and examples; small group work; whole group discussion — was very effective. Josh is an agile, respectful teacher who created an atmosphere that fostered an enlivening, positive environment. The course was fun and thought provoking. Thanks, Josh."
-
Starting at the Top of the Ladder of Consciousness
"Opening the first session with possibility and seeing the possibility in others was the most powerful foundation to build upon. This was such a heart-opening foundation that ties in humility and imagination. Even though this was the first class and the 'start' of our time together, it felt like we were starting at the top of the ladder of conscious, and that was the 'floor' for us to build up from. Super powerful! I always loved coming back from breaks to you playing music and singing, you always put a smile on my face, and it is something I will always remember. I look forward to seeing you again and having time to learn from you."
NEW INSIGHTS FOR EXPERIENCED COACHES
I Experienced New Insights and Distinctions
"The Fundamentals of Coaching Program with Joshua Hornick was an educational, inspirational, and fun experience. Even though I have been in coaching for many years, I experienced new insights and distinctions throughout his course. Joshua scheduled plenty of breakout sessions throughout the course, which kept the program interactive, fun, and customized. This also allowed an intimacy and connection with other participants despite the program being on Zoom. Overall, this was a great course and I recommend it to any leader or coach who wants to bring out the best in others."
-
Reinvigorated My Love of Coaching
"Every session brought new aha's for me- this course reinvigorated my love of coaching."
-
Gets You Really Pondering Deeply
"If you are a seasoned life coach or a newbie Josh's FOC is a fully immersive and interactive program that I highly recommend. It doesn't just give you more information like most courses do but gets you really pondering deeply about the necessary mind tools to be a great coach in an open state of a non judgemental mind."
— Greg Saggers
-
You Will Learn and enJOY the Process
"I would recommend this course to anyone who cares about bringing out the best in others. Although I am an experienced coach and debated taking this course, I am really glad I did. There were so many good reminders that can help anyone. Josh is a fantastic coach and leader- you will learn and enJOY the process along the way!"
-
Insight After Insight
"Fundamentals of Coaching has been insight after insight. I was already coaching for a year with over 100 hours under my belt but it is always helpful to go even deeper. This training will take you deeper and have insights along the way. I highly recommend this training."
— Darlene Deffes, Coach
COMMUNITY & CONNECTION
The Breakout Sessions Are Pure Magic
"The Fundamentals of Coaching course and the master facilitation of Josh are immensely valuable for anybody leading any group or gathering of people, coaching in any context and, perhaps surprisingly, most valuable in my personal life as I create a system and structure for my own personal growth. I found it powerful to spend time each week with such like hearted and passionate people delving into the questions Josh would ask. The breakouts sessions are pure magic."

A Kind of Musical Call and Response

A kind of musical call and response where one principle echoed another and one insight invoked another even deeper one. Threading through it all was a gentle but compelling incentive to listen keenly to others (and ourselves) and to reflect and care deeply about what it takes to bring out the best in a person."
-
So Engaging to Collaborate with Others
"If you are like me and drawn to endless learning about open-hearted living, then this is the course for you. Looking carefully at what goes into bringing out the greatness in someone is much of what this course is about. It's so engaging to collaborate with others on what promotes and what interferes with creating the conditions for the inspiration and growth of the person in front of us!"
-
Easy to Relate to But Also Had a Lot of Depth
"I really enjoyed connecting and sharing with like-minded people and how each session had a theme or focus that was easy to relate to but also had a lot of depth."
UNIVERSAL APPLICATION
Change Your Life by Noticing Your Potential
"Want to change your life by noticing your potential? Want to share that practice with others? Do you desire to see the possibilities in all people and create an atmosphere of support and transformative actions? If you said 'YES!' to any of these questions, then this is the course for you. First and foremost you are your own coach - taking this course will help you understand yourself better! Second, we typically look at others' actions and judge them - this course helps us open up to the potential and possibilities in each person we encounter - to look with love and care - to lead with curiosity - and to create a world full of transformative actions - one conversation at a time. Classes invite you to explore and journey with your fellow participants - this is an action oriented experience - and Joshua is a wonder guide - full of great stories, examples, and wisdom."

PRACTICAL & ACTIONABLE
A Perfect Way to Refresh My Coaching Skills
"Joshua Hornick's 6 week course on the Fundamentals of Coaching was a perfect way to refresh my coaching skills. The areas of focus built upon each other which made the course easy to follow and internalize. I appreciated the regular use of breakout rooms - they allowed me to engage and learn more deeply with others as I reflected on the topic. I loved that Josh presented from a practical perspective with some theoretical context. This made it easier for me to see how to apply the topics in depth both personally and as a coach. I recommend this course if you desire a reboot in some coaching practices, want to transform in your own journey, and/or want to provoke thought and insight through connection with others."
-
These Small Changes Have Improved My Communication
"Since taking the Fundamentals of Coaching class I have found myself actively listening more and seeing the possibility in others every day. These small changes have improved my communication both at work and in my personal life."
-
A Series of Reminders to Seek Out the Good in Others
"Since taking Fundamentals of Coaching with Josh, I have noticed that I am actively seeing the potential in other people and taking time to consider other peoples' circumstances. This class provided a series of reminders to seek out the good in others."
REMEMBERING WHAT YOU ALREADY KNOW
This 'Remembering of the Fundamentals' Process is a True Privilege
"No matter the modality or the coaching scope, our job as coaches (and as humans in general) is all about the fundamentals. Joshua holds such a welcoming, safe, insightful and fun space for the whole group, that this 'remembering of the fundamentals' process becomes a true privilege! Couldn't recommend it more!"
-
Remembering What We Already Know, Who We Already Are
"This course is about lifting people up, including ourselves. It's about remembering what we already know, who we already are, and what we want our lives to be about. And it's a huge amount of fun to get to know and learn alongside people around the world!"
-
Reminding You That These Are Things We Knew All Along
"I'm fortunate enough to work with Josh on a regular basis, but there's always an opportunity to learn more - even when he's there to remind you that these are things we knew all along."
SAFE & WELCOMING SPACE
You Will Enjoy Being Silly and Having Fun
"Josh created a fun, interactive, safe and supportive environment to help us learn how to bring out the best in ourselves and in others. He told stories to emphasize points and recommended videos and books for follow-up. He was consistently positive in response to all participants and the material was full of ways to improve our skills in communication and connection. The class discussions and homework were very meaningful and relevant to everyday life. We spent time learning basic skills of coaching and the homework based on that was very helpful in figuring out how to deal with a specific dilemma that had been on my mind. We learned about 'Tiny Habits', which are great to incorporate into the day. I have added on more tiny habits and some of them have grown into larger habits that I follow daily. I love the idea of waking up to '10,000 possible days' and I remind myself each morning after I use my tiny habit of saying 'It's going to be a great day!'. I am more of an introvert and don't speak up quickly in groups. I also don't always find small groups that comfortable. If you are like me, don't hesitate to take this course. You will feel more comfortable than you might imagine and you will be laughing along with the others. There were a couple of group performances/games and if you shy away from that (I do), don't worry. You will enjoy being silly and having fun with the rest of the class!"
-
A Warm and Safe Space
"It was a warm and safe space where I could explore my own possibilities and others' as well."
-
I Will Be Taking It Again!
"This course offered us all the chance to embark on a courageous discovery of our own inner worlds, in service of becoming the best version of ourselves and cultivating the ability to call forth the best version of others. Josh creates a space of welcome, courage, authenticity and honesty that I looked forward to being part of every week. I will be taking it again!"
BUILDS CONFIDENCE & CAPABILITY
Strengthen Your Ability to Support Others
"If you've ever wanted to strengthen your ability to support others, ask powerful questions, and create space for growth and self-discovery — Fundamentals of Coaching is a great place to start."
-
A Delightful Introduction to Coaching
"A delightful introduction to coaching and the vital self examination needed to be helpful to others. The class format of self discover and remembering models well how we might work with clients to bring out the best in all of us."
-
Clarified a Vital Goal
"Josh's course tied together numerous strands of thought, and maybe even more importantly, desire. Full class and small group exercises consistently engaged my head and heart, and energized me to plumb depths of core values and cherished beliefs. I'm profoundly grateful that this experiential learning clarified a vital goal. Namely to equip 4th-6th graders with PMH (Preventive Mental Health) principle and practices. It also galvanized my determination to transform my focus from being an engaging and enlivening entertainer to an effective, empowering educator."
RELATIONSHIPS & IMPACT
Truly Been Transformational in My Relationships
"Seeing the best in ourselves and others...nothing seems more important than that! I loved each week's exploration and ways to transform old ways of acting and thinking to step into a much more satisfying version of myself. I also love how this program has helped me be more present and accepting of others, including difficult people! It has truly been transformational in my relationships."

The teachings and conversations facilitated by Josh help you think differently, connect in a deeper way and put things into real life practice. Couldn't recommend it enough!"
-
If You Want Your Eyes Opened to Possibility... Try This
"I am not confident in my ability to contribute. And yet... I found myself in fascinating and mutually supportive conversations with folks who, frankly are 'out of my league.' It was refreshing. If you want your eyes opened to possibility... try this. You'll like it."
-
Profoundly Impacted by Experience
"This program was great. I will be using these techniques as a leader/manager. I was profoundly impacted by experience, but I do not have words to describe it yet. I think it needs to settle in a little more, or maybe I need more training. One realization that I have had is that I can be doing a lot more to help people professionally and personally by adopting new communication style."

Like Going to the Gym

In doing so we can achieve better understanding of each other and find joy in our lives."

Coaching as a Life Tool
"This course was an excellent way to see into the art of coaching as a life tool, whether or not one chooses to become a coach. I learned specific ways to observe myself while interacting with others, which was invaluable. A couple of my (many) takeaways are: be careful about the kinds of questions I ask others in attempting to be helpful: don't ask questions for my need to know. Also, don't turn the conversation around to be about me by giving an example from my life. I had a 2-way practice session with a classmate that was very helpful and informative for me in both directions. Josh is a supportive, engaging, intelligent teacher and I highly recommend his course."

Just Simply Relaxing and Listening Intently
"What was helpful was how you broke down the fundamentals and explored them with meditation and group discussion.
