As I approach the one-year mark of my April 2025 cohort and prepare to sit for my certification exam, I find myself reflecting on just how much this journey has changed me. With all of my coaching hours now completed, I can truly appreciate what a profound and wonderful gift coaching is, not just as a profession, but as a way of showing up for others in the world. Mina Brown, MCC, has a passion for coaching and for the people she trains, which was evident from the very first moment. She brings an energy and genuine love for this work that elevated everyone in the room and stayed with me long after that week ended.

For my cohort, I had the privilege of also learning from supporting faculty Cheryl Close, MCC, and Joan Evans, PCC, who embody the very best of what this program produces. They were knowledgeable, warm, and deeply committed to every student’s growth. The depth of the curriculum surprised me, and the hands-on practice sessions pushed me in the best possible way, building the kind of real-world confidence you simply cannot get from reading a book. I gained professional skills, yes, but I also gained a new perspective on myself, a renewed sense of purpose, and a completely new way of seeing the people around me.

If you are thinking about becoming a certified coach, let this be your sign. Positive Coaching Solutions is the real deal, and Mina Brown is the heart of it all.
