Changepoints Basic Training for Coaches
“I thought the training was excellent. Sandra was able to take her education and experience and organize it in a way that was very clear and easy to understand. I especially liked the “role playing” that was helpful to apply the material. The training is very comprehensive and up to date. I feel prepared to go out and get started educating others in my area!”
Deb W. 2009
“Taking the coaching training has given me the confidence to work with folks who have been affected from pathological behavior. The aftermath of such behavior can last for years and helping people to work through and understand these effects in order for them “to get their life back” is personally rewarding. Being a survivor, I know the painful, traumatic experience of regaining control of my life and the need for professional help to do so. I want to thank Sandra Brown for her expertise, knowledge and dedication in helping others. She has been a life saver for me, and I am very grateful to her and her sharing her knowledge to help others. I would highly recommend the Coaching training for anyone who is interested in helping others deal with the aftermath of pathological people. Thanks Sandra!” – Cathy B. 2009
