Coaching Toward Happiness:

A Free Monthly Email Newsletter

As a subscriber, you’ll receive a succinct article about once a month on Positive Psychology. Our goal is to help you assimilate insights from Positive Psychology and to make your journey forward both fruitful and fun.

We’ll share practical strategies for enhancing happiness and meaning in your own life and work, strategies you can share with your clients and others.

Coaching Toward Happiness

Periodically, leading scholars and practitioners in Positive Psychology will discuss the personal impact of their work on their lives. We’ll ask: What have they learned? What strategies do they personally use? What areas do they still neglect?

The Foundations Program

The Foundations Course

Great buildings are erected on strong foundations—so are great careers. At MentorCoach, we help you create that solid grounding in our Foundations Program. In this 31-week course, you will learn the essentials of coaching and prepare to move forward with our coaching Master Classes. Through practice coaching, you will take your first steps into an exciting career and experience for yourself how powerful coaching can be. You can even start a Master Class before you’ve finished the Foundations Program.

Coaching Master Classes

Coaching Master Classes

Our Master Classes will show you how it all comes together. In three required Master Classes, you will deepen and extend your coaching skills as well as learn about the ethics that underlie the coaching profession. And as you take your elective Master Classes chosen from areas such as health and wellness coaching, executive coaching, ADHD coaching, careers and calling, meaning, group coaching and so much more, you will gain a sense of the rich possibilities of your future in coaching. Many of these are open to the public.

Coach Certification

You can choose to specialize in Executive Coaching, Positive Psychology Coaching, ADHD Coaching, or Health and Wellness Coaching—or chart your own path. Whatever you decide, successful completion of our 125-hour program will lead to your coaching certification from MentorCoach. It will also lead you to the International Coach Federation’s PCC or Professional Certified Coach credential, a higher level than the ACC or Associate Certified Coach credential many programs prepare you for. Just pass the ICF exam and complete the required number of coaching hours.

The MentorCoach Interview with Jamie Pennebaker, PhD

We had a compelling interview with Jamie Pennebaker, PhD, Regents Centennial Liberal Arts Professor of Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin and the Executive Director of Project 2021.  His research focuses on the relationship between natural language use, health, and social behavior, most recently “how everyday language reflects basic social and personality processes.”  He is the world’s leading expert on expressive writing.   Jamie is the author or editor of 12 books and over 300 scientific articles. He ranks among the most cited researchers in psychology, psychiatry, and the social sciences.
