Here's what one recent coach had to say about this new program:

'I took introductory coach training from a number of places, trying to find the right fit, and it was your Coaching Groundwork free recordings that really lit my light bulb about what it means to coach, so I know what an amazing impact this will have not only on the coaching world but the entire world, as an understanding of coaching principles flows more freely to anyone interested.' - Sue Mitchell, Grand Junction, CO

Bless you Julia. This is an amazingly generous offer as I know your coach training is top notch.

Thank you Pam ~ My pleasure!

What a bold move and generous spirit! Knowing the quality of the coaching of you and your faculty, I look forward to the opportunity to the refresher as well to expand my perspective and to learn new things. I wish you all good things!

Hi Julia, and bravo to you. I totally get your manifesto because the VA industry is suffering the same dilemma. I stumbled upon your manifesto as I was doing some research. I will take the course and pass it on to my VAs. Even though we aren't coaches, we do coach or should be able to guide and direct when working with our clients.

Thank you, Diane & Kim ~ I hope it's useful and thanks for passing it on.

Hi, I completed my training through CTA but learned a lot from you in this program. It will impact how I coach and I'm considering an IAC-CC.  
Hope to see other classes up soon!! 
Thanks, Farrell

Hi Julia. What a creative idea!! 
 
Did you teach coachville at one time? I hear a lot of thought leaders mention Julia Stewart as being an important part of their growth. Looking forward to the course. Will there be a fee to write the exam?
Posted @ Monday, August 02, 2010 11:19 AM by Gina
Hi Gina - Yes, I taught coaching skills and was the Lead Certifier for CoachVille long ago. There is no fee for the online exam. If you're signed up for one or more course via the Free Coach Training program, you'll be notified by email when the exam is open.

Thank you for providing this course! I'm excited and already got started! I'm excited to continue in the process. I've been coaching now officially for about 8 months, so this training will be an excellent addition to my knowledge at this vital beginning point! 
I'm so grateful to have found this and appreciate you for sharing your expertise!

Julia,  
I've already shared it on Facebook with my friends who are into coaching and also have made SCM a favorite on my Facebook fanpage as well. Anytime I can get the word out I will. I will be sure to share you on Twitter as well!

Hi Edna - That is great. Congrats! Yes, I'm working on the next course right now and unless there are unforeseen problems, it will go live tomorrow. Everyone who is already signed up for the 1st course will get an announcement that the new course is ready, so watch your inbox for email from CoachTraining [@] SchoolofCoachingMastery [.] com.

Excited about doing the next course! Bless you for gifting something so generous. It will allow me to coach with that much more confidence.
Posted @ Tuesday, August 03, 2010 3:51 PM by Farrell
That's great Farrell! I'm working on it now ~
Posted @ Tuesday, August 03, 2010 3:59 PM by Julia Stewart
Thanks so much for doing this, Julia! This is such a gift and opportunity! I'm a firm believer in the "Learning Commons" idea of education and training, and to see this kind of quality training coming forward is wonderful. Have you looked into sharing this with some of the OpenCourseware initiatives, WikiVersity, or other "unschooling" resources/lists out there?
Posted @ Wednesday, August 04, 2010 1:18 AM by Scott Schumacher
Thanks Scott - I have not looked into those, but that's a great idea ~
Posted @ Wednesday, August 04, 2010 7:39 AM by Julia Stewart
I started my Groundworks Course todaywhich is August 14,2010. If the final exam has been emailed out already, I must have deleted it. Can it be emailed to me again? Please do so at prettywheels@webtv.net 
 
 
 
Thank you  
 
Denise
Posted @ Saturday, August 14, 2010 3:51 PM by Denise Horn
Hi Denise - The exam announcement has not been made yet, so don't worry. However, the exam will open for a few days every few months, so if you're not ready or if you don't see the announcement, just wait for the next open exam period.
Posted @ Saturday, August 14, 2010 7:23 PM by Julia Stewart
Hello Julia, 
 
 
 
I am so thankful this was on your heart to do. I just signed up today and look forward to all classes. I will glady pass this on!
Posted @ Tuesday, August 17, 2010 6:25 PM by Rachelle
Awesome Rachelle ~ Thanks so much for sharing it!
Posted @ Tuesday, August 17, 2010 6:34 PM by Julia Stewart
Thanks Julia, this is great and I'm learning alot form it. I'm still on the first class "Groudwork" as fitting 2 hours straight into my busy day is not so easy. Is there a way to fast forward the audio so I dont have to go through from the beginning each time to find out where Im up to. One wee suggestion is if the audios could be in 1/2 hour segments....but I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth! With appreciation, Julienne
