What makes the Heart Coach
Institute different from
other training programs?
The wisdom of the heart.
As a Life Coach, you will be helping people find answers to their most challenging life problems. As human beings, we have three centers of knowing: the mind, the heart, and the gut.
1 | The mind represents our intellectual and cognitive center. It is the brain and our capacity for reasoning and problem solving.
2 | The heart represents our emotional and intuitive side. It is where we process emotional experiences and it often guides our moral and ethical choices. This is not limited to the physical heart, but connects us to our higher self. This connection to higher wisdom offers us profound truth not accessible from the mind.
3 | The gut represents our instinctual or visceral knowing. It is our “gut feelings” and provides immediate, visceral response to situations.
We are all capable of accessing the mind and thoughts for our answers. Many life coach programs focus heavily on the mind and thoughts. We also know instinctually how to discern the gut responses. Our body responds when we are presented with certain options.
But what about the heart and the emotions? Where do we go to learn about the heart? In our training, you will learn how to access the wisdom of the heart. You will learn the voice of the heart, the gifts of the heart, and understand the power of the heart! You will be trained to understand how and when we block the heart, and what will fix the problem. You will learn tools for the heart and once you are trained, you will be ready to share this heart wisdom with your clients. We combine the power of life coaching with the wisdom and strength of the heart.
DO YOU WANT TO HEAL YOUR HEART?
Join the Premier Heart Healing Program
The majority of HCI students have also gone through our Bravhearts Revolution program. Separate from the Life Coach training, this program was developed by Robin Johnson to help people relase the pain and trauma of the past, heal their heart, find their confidence and strength, and create a transformative future. This 12-week online program will walk you through every step of healing. Take time to heal your heart first. Then become trained in Heart-Centered Life Coaching and learn how to teach others about their heart. Building a relationship of trust with your heart will help you become a heart ambassador.

There is a powerful journey that we take to be able to authentically help others.
If you want to be able to help other people trust their heart, you must first trust your own. You may need to release some trauma or pain. You may need to learn to listen to your heart again. You may need to have some inner child healing done. The first step is to heal.
When you are radiating that love, you will want everyone you know to feel that same love too. You will want to help others remember their worth, find their heart, build their confidence, achieve their dreams. You will want others to learn to trust their heart too. You will want to share.
The power of combining Bravehearts Revolution program with the Life Coach training can’t be understated. We feel so strongly that this path will create the most powerful impact on your ability to become a heart-centered LIfe Coach, that we are willing to give you $1,000 OFF when you buy both programs together!

Class Learning Model
The Heart Coach Institute life coach training utilizes synchronous and asynchronous remote learning (sometimes referred to as flipped learning). In this model, direct instruction moves from the group learning space to the individual learning space. The resulting group space is transformed into a dynamic, interactive learning environment where the instructor guides students as they apply concepts and engage creatively in the subject matter.
Read and complete assigned sections in the student manual and workbook prior to class. Come to the Zoom class meeting with questions and insights regarding the assigned content.
In-class time is dedicated to exploring course material in greater depth, creating rich learning opportunities, and answering questions. Review concepts through learning activities and peer discussion.
Continue reviewing material and checking for understanding of the concepts through application and evaluation. Work with peer coach to practice and discuss concepts.
