Kim Trinh, Career Transition Coach
"Enrolling in CCI's coaching training has been one of the proudest investments in my coaching career. The experience was not only valuable, but also memorable, and even healing.
I enrolled the first module (out of 5 modules) in 2023 and initially intended to take the full program elsewhere. During this 3-day course, I fell in love with Joey's and Helena's heart-centeredness, devotion, and mastery. Despite the virtual setting of this course, they held an exceptionally safe and nurturing space for the most learning, growth, realness and connection to happen in their container. Through Joey and Helena's world-class method, coaching emerged beyond a vocational practice, but an art of being, making the training both educational and transformational.
A year later, I came to Cambodia in two separate trips for the remaining modules of CCI's program. In that physical setting, I enjoyed even more kindness, connection, authenticity and inspiration. Joey and Helena opened up new perspectives through which coaching can be practiced. Given my 1-year coaching experience, the training both challenged, diversified and complemented my coaching approach. It expanded and enriched my expertise on many levels—philosophical, methodological, and spiritual.
Coming out of the training, I practiced with all the necessary knowledge, skills, and embodiment of transformative coaching. I emerged with more confidence, authenticity, and connection within myself as a person. And as a coach, I'm more rooted in the mission and power of coaching, and more curious and dedicated to actualize its impact.
Given the richness and difference of CCI's training experience, I'd love to retake it. And I'd always recommend it."
Galeno Chua, Founding Principal at The Idea
"This course is powerful and I deeply recommend it to any leader, manager and aspiring coach. Frankly speaking, you don't expect a world-class standard of training coming from Cambodia, especially in coaching, but this was one of the best I've ever attended.
Joey's blend of social and experiential learning was technically proficient, balanced, and fluid. We were given a safe space to try and fail in the sessions, this gave me the courage to apply new techniques in my companies and my coaching clients to great success. It really was the best way to do this. Thanks again Joey, excited to see the impact of your presence in Cambodia."
Gemma Woodburn, Life Coach and Counselor
''This course has completely revolutionalized the way I view the relationship between mind and body. Through experiential learning on the course, I’ve seen, firsthand, how the body can be used to shift states, and this has completely transformed the gears at which I can work with clients!''
