Audacious and lively, Mina infuses the learning experience with humor, wisdom, intuition, and a deep appreciation for the way we humans are programmed to operate.

Mina's Signature in Blue #2

HeAR from others

The intensity, immersion and flow of training kept the pace and there was zero wasted time. This intense process forced me to block out everything else in my life and schedule, and allowed me to tackle this education the way I wanted to. Virtually while I thought was going to be tough actually was my favorite because the coaching we will do in the future will most likely include online clients so getting those reps of online coaching was key. The faculty: I don't use these words lightly, but they were "World Class"! Their ability to add clarity to the content and the appropriate anecdote here and there to allow for real life experience made the learning process so enjoyable. Time flew. This experience got me to a place in my journey I thought would have taken 6 months!

Mina and Positive Coaching have been both a life changer for me personally and a game changer for my business. Three years ago, I was certified through Mina’s program to add the coaching dimension to my leadership development and training company. I could not have predicted the impact of this decision. The performance outcomes and the financial bottom line of my company have increased exponentially. Mina is a wonderful teacher, a generous human being, and a stellar role model, mentor, and coach.

I have no doubt I am well prepared for credentialing. The knowledge I gained from this program is huge part of my focus and belief that this is what I am meant to do. The best thing about it was the concentrated 7 days of training. This is the only program I would recommend to a person who wants to be an impactful coach!

Bill Koch

Board Chairman, Executive Coach, ACC, Dallas, TX

I was asked how I’d rate this program by a friend and I said 9.5! Blended learning kept my attention and allowed me to process as we went in ways I could connect with. Examples shared, stories, why this matters, etc. I especially appreciate this experience because …
1. It wasn’t painful (no surprises allowed me to feel comfortable with the uncomfortable and be present) 2. Application is key! It allowed me to use the skills and motivate me to heighten my sense of presence. 3. Because I feel comfortable I want to continue building coaching skills and get my hours in ASAP! Thank you!

Your program is excellent! I wish I could think of a way to make it better, but I am at a loss. I am very glad I attended virtually and do not think it took away from my experience at all. I would not have liked having to be in Texas away from family for an entire week. Thank you for doing it this way!
