Real-world practice shapes our programmes and published work informs them. The Coaching Minds faculty are authors of multiple books on coaching, psychology, and professional practice, bringing practical insight and depth to every programme we deliver.

These publications, stocked in universities and libraries internationally, reflect our commitment to developing coaches who think critically, practise ethically, and work with confidence in complex, real-world situations.

What Our Coaches Say

Experiences from our coaching programmes.

Rated 5 out of 5

"Without a doubt, the Level 5 programme is one of the best learning experiences I’ve had in over six years of coaching practical, reflective, and truly developmental."

Razan Jalajel, Leadership Coach & Founder, biege blouse, hair tied back, arms folded, smiling confidently.

Rated 5 out of 5

"When I began my journey in 2019, I conducted thorough research. I was looking for a specific set of criteria: a school that was accredited, offered flexible hours, forced me out of my comfort zone, and provided a truly transformative experience. While I eventually found my path, I truly wish I had found Coaching Minds back then."

Razan Jalajel

Leadership Coach & Founder, BVisionRY

Rated 5 out of 5

"Coaching Mind is a total outlier. Level 5 wasn't just a certificate; it was a serious pivot for my project. Dealing with digital addiction requires deep psychological tools, not just 'tips,' and this curriculum delivered that rigor. It’s essential for turning a big vision into actual human change."

Augusto Modigliani

Coach & Founder, Digitalzero

Rated 5 out of 5

"Transitioning from a career in banking into coaching while completing my MSc in Psychology and Neuroscience, I was seeking a training pathway grounded in ethics, professionalism, and real-world readiness. Coaching Minds has provided exactly that. As an EMCC Global Quality Award–accredited provider, they create a highly supportive environment where new coaches feel encouraged from day one, while being held to clear ethical and professional standards. The depth of resources, community involvement, and accreditation alignment makes Coaching Minds an invaluable pathway for coaches committed to high standards of practice."

Olesja Antonyuk

Coach, MSc in Neuroscience

Rated 5 out of 5

"I recommend Coaching Minds to anyone who would like to become an ethical EMCC accredited coach, but are unable to afford the typical prices. Unlike most programmes Coaching Minds focuses on standards instead of profit. Apart from the flexibility to complete the courses, the other major upside is the coach community the coach hub creates. It’s a really welcoming and supportive environment."
