Here's the deal. . .
"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.”
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!"
The design of the program is unique.
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."
Schedule
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."
Friendly Pricing
This program is my gift. I want everyone who desires to bring out the best in others to learn through this experience, so I price it flexibly.
If the early bird price is still a barrier, please contact us directly. We are committed to inclusivity and will provide a discount code to register at a price you can afford.
"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."
