Become trained to  get immediately to the root of your client’s issue in the first session and help them them understand their pattern, untangle the layers, and dismantle the recurrence through high quality challenge and support work.

To be a great relationship coach, you must address the three central pillars featured in our coaching program:

 

1. SELF

You must go inward and deal with the person in the mirror.

2. RELATIONSHIPS

You must improve your own relationship awareness and skills.

3. SKILLS + TOOLS

You must acquire coaching skills and tools that get results for your clients.

Without even one of these elements, your clients will see limited results.

A skillful and successful Relationship Coach is continually self-reflecting and developing these pillars.

Imagine a career that draws on your passion

Imagine a career that draws on your passion for personal growth and relationships, that harnesses your ability to support, challenge, and connect with others, and helps you to develop as a person while you help others to do the same.

What if you could earn a living while making an impact on thousands of people’s lives, and even on the future of society and how we treat each other?

That’d be pretty cool, right?

Well, that job does exist. It’s the job of a relationship coach, and I believe that relationship coaches will play a crucial role in the future of our culture, not only in the U.S., but around the world.

A career as a relationship coach can be incredibly fulfilling, both professionally and personally.

You can work from home and coach people virtually all over the world.

Becoming a relationship coach really could change your life, and it can also change the world.

Look around at people. What do you see?

I see a lot of people in pain, suffering, and struggling in their interpersonal relationships. Here are a few highlights:

 

9

An estimated 80% of couples are headed in the direction of divorce within their first four to five years of marriage (Source: Gottmans).

9

Stress related ailments cost the US $300 billion every year. $100 billion more than what obesity costs.

9

7 out of 10 Americans take at least one prescription drug.

 

9

1 in every 10 Americans takes an antidepressant.

 

9

Loneliness is more lethal than smoking 15 cigarettes per day.

 

9

Only 12% of mental health conditions in the DSM-V have a treatment for them.

9

The rate of antidepressant use in this country among teens and adults (people ages 12 and older) increased by almost 400% between 1988–1994 and 2005–2008 (Source: National Center for Health Statistics).

I don’t know about you, but when I look at those stats, they are sobering. They tell me that behind everyone’s happy Facebook and Instagram pics, people are indeed hurting. It tells me that these people need your help.

It would be great if suffering in the world went away, but conflict and human suffering have been around forever, and I don’t think our species can transcend that.

So, rather than aim for peace and Utopia, I want you to have the chops to help people in the trenches of their daily lives, helping them navigate the difficult people in their lives and help them navigate their relationship to themselves.

A lot of people don’t actually like themselves, or they are unfulfilled.

This is where you come in.

You can improve your natural ability to help others by becoming a Certified Relationship Coach and you can upgrade any old habits of enabling, codependency, or rescuing.

BIPOC & LGBTQIA+

The World Needs You Now More Than Ever

Why do relationship coaches matter? Because 1 in 2 marriages end in divorce, and 3 out of 5 Americans are lonely. We have a loneliness epidemic and a looming mental health crisis. Couples that do conflict well live 10 years longer than couples who don’t. Relationship stress is a chronic disease that’s destroying our quality of life, shortening our lifespan, bankrupting health care systems, and threatening the health of future generations. And our medical model is not prepared to address it. Why?

Because the only way to prevent or reverse the loneliness or mental health epidemic and help people feel empowered in their relationships is by changing how we handle conflict, how we listen, how we parent, how we work with our triggers, and how we communicate our needs.

Traditional therapy is simply not set up to do this and it’s too broad. The vast majority of trauma and mental health issues stem from a relationship issue. The bottom line is we need people who can not only provide support, but also challenge people to transform how they show up relationally. We need empathetic and compassionate people with skills, street-level tools for human connection, and a passion for change.My job is to make sure the coaches have all the training they need to do their jobs so well that they will change the future of society and our interconnectedness with others.

Would I be a good relationship coach if I’m still struggling with some of my own relationship issues?

What is it like to be a Certified Relationship Coach?

“The Relationship Coach Training at The Relationship School has literally changed my life. It’s changed my relationships, certainly with my family and with my friends, and mostly with myself…in terms of confidence and acceptance and really trusting my heart calling me to this path of helping other people by helping them with relationships and by becoming a coach. 

And my life has also transformed by being a coach…and being able to be with people in such intimate, vulnerable, powerful moments of relationship, whether that’s individually or with couples.

So, there’s nothing at this point that could replace what I have gained from the school and from the Relationship Coach Training. And now I just want to encourage more people to have this experience…and really experience the growth and change that’s possible.


I continue to learn and study, and also help others in this way…and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.  

Jennifer M.
