Why Rise and Thrive

By becoming a Rise & Thrive coach and creating your own coaching business (or expanding your service-based business to create more income), you will:

  • Set your own hours – part-time, full-time or any other schedule

“Sometimes it is not about trying harder, it is the little efforts every day that accumulate over time, adding up to big efforts which create change. Quantum leaps are possible in all areas of our lives, but we would not experience them as long as we stay stuck in our familiar comfort zones. A quantum leap happens when you open your mind to completely new possibilities.” - Catherine Plano

How Do We Work With Rise & Thrive Academy?

At the core of Rise & Thrive Coaching Academy, we have four components that guide the learning process:

  1. The Unconscious Mind – unpacking limiting beliefs, fears and values
  2. The Emotional Mind – dissecting all the stories (memories) that hold people back; the suppressed trauma (emotions) that can ‘freeze’ one’s personality
  3. The Conscious Mind – discovering the leader within every individual; the place where one can consciously interrupt unhelpful patterns and experience authentic change
  4. The Greater Mind (advanced module) - breaking down the intuitive intelligence that is beyond our consciousness

As part of the 12-month coaching program, Rise & Thrive students benefit from 8 central modules, with the option of subsequently registering for one or more of the 4 advanced modules.

Each of the central and advanced modules includes:

  • Learning manual
  • Activity workbook
  • Extensive bibliography
  • Coaching models
  • Tools
  • Resources

Custom exercise, activity and homework templates to keep and use with your own coaching clients

Central Modules

Module-1

Module 1 - The Foundation of Coaching

Coaching is an exciting, dynamic and rewarding career path that allows you to truly make an impact on people’s lives. The first step in approaching the profession is to study its foundation, from principles to roles, responsibilities, speciality areas, ethics and the coaching partnership as a whole. The first Rise & Thrive workbook will walk you through the basics, from the types of coaching available to the 4 pillars of the coaching partnership, the 8 stages of coaching and more.

Module-2

Module 2 - Basic Coaching Models & Techniques

Once we have laid the groundwork, it’s time to dive into specifics. In the second Rise & Thrive workbook, we cover a wide variety of coaching models and techniques. From the 6 Core Values Model to the GROW Model, assessment techniques, evaluation tools and much more, you will extend your foundation and get a better grasp on the hands-on methods used in coaching.

Module-3

Module 3 - Communication in Coaching

In the third Rise & Thrive workbook, we expand on the pivotal role that communication skills have in coaching. Find out everything you need to know to become a powerful communicator as a coach, from the basics of the coach-client conversation to the details of the structured interview and more. Subtopics include blocks in communication, elements of the coaching dialogue and the 5-stage interview model, among many others.

Module-4

Module 4 - Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Principles in Coaching

As a coach’s mission is to guide clients in bringing out their potential and becoming the best versions of themselves, they also require knowledge and skills drawn from psychology. In the fourth Rise & Thrive workbook, we will explore the branch of cognitive behavioural therapy and how its principles can be applied to coaching programs by working with thoughts, emotions, feelings, beliefs and behaviour.

Module-5

Module 5 - Psychotherapy Approaches in Coaching

After analysing CBT, we explore several more influential psychotherapy approaches and how they relate to coach-client partnerships. In the fifth Rise & Thrive workbook, you will be introduced to the following types of therapy:

  • Person-centred therapy
  • Gestalt therapy
  • Personal construct psychology
  • Solution-focused brief therapy
  • Narrative therapy
  • Acceptance and commitment therapy
Module-6

Module 6 - Business Coaching Niches

Upon completing the comprehensive foundation required to become a competent coach, we break down the four main options for becoming specialised in business industries. In Rise & Thrive workbook six, we explore the essentials of the primary business coaching niches:

  • Performance coaching
  • Executive coaching
  • Leadership coaching
  • Business coaching
Module-7

Module 7 - Personal Coaching Niches

Coaches who aim to specialise in personal life areas invest their energy in forming a soul-to-soul bond with their clients. In addition to cultivating empathy and compassion, we immerse you in the specific tools needed in coaching for personal development. The four personal coaching niches we examine in the seventh Rise & Thrive workbook are:

  • Life coaching
  • Relationship coaching
  • Health & Wellness coaching
  • Career coaching
Module-8

Module 8 - Creating a Coaching Business

The end of the Rise & Thrive coaching program is just the beginning. You’re ready to get the show on the road and build your very own coaching business. We provide all the administrative know-how for doing so, from legal structures to contracting, accounting, marketing and so much more. The eighth Rise & Thrive workbook also focuses on much-needed self-care guidelines for coaches themselves.

Advanced Modules

The Greater Mind

Quantum Physics is the realm where magic merges with science. We peel back the layers of the intellect mind, exploring what lies beyond human consciousness. Quantum Physics explains that the ‘observer’ is the element needed to create consciousness to vibrate at the frequency necessary to create matter. Through mindfulness, intention and awareness, we can unlock the greatest state of mind known to humankind.

Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP)

Essentially, NLP is an interpersonal communication model that looks at an individual as ‘a whole mind-body system, with consistent, patterned connections between neurological processes (neuro), language (linguistic) and learned behavioural strategies (programming)’ (Dilts, 1980). In the advanced module, we cover the principles of NLP and how they can be adapted to coaching practices.

Public Speaking for Coaches

Learn to share your knowledge, wisdom and expertise in coaching through public speaking. We teach you not only how to craft a compelling keynote but also how to present it in a way that keeps audiences mesmerised. The advanced module is for coaches who want to take their careers to the next level by imparting their insight with like-minded individuals at conferences, workshops and other networking events.

Creative Writing for Coaches

One of the most powerful ways to express your vision, passion and expertise as a coach is through words. By sharpening your writing skills, you develop a strong brand identity that will speak to your clients’ hearts, all while propelling your business. The creative writing module introduces you to the wonderful world of words and how you can use them to create a compelling content plan through published articles, eBooks, traditional books and more.

Sonia

"I began working with Catherine at a critical juncture in my life. My marriage was ending and I needed to re-boot my business, which had become stagnant while I was focused on raising small children.

Catherine was a relentless, stable, nurturing, supportive force, who gently guided me to the things that I needed to tend to, emotionally, practically, physically and spiritually ... And in working with her I found courage and inner-strength at a time that was, for the most part, overwhelming.

She helped me to turn negative circumstances into personal life transformation, and to this day I owe her a deep debt of gratitude for her wisdom, her patience and her friendship."

Sonia Hickey

Niva

"Catherine is an amazingly talented, understanding, compassionate, selfless, unique and dedicated woman. She is the most generous human being I have ever encountered. Catherine is so incredibly humble and will move mountains to make a ‘real’ difference in our world, a true change maker, she was put on this earth to be of service to others unconditionally – she literally puts her whole heart and soul into every little thing that she does.

Working with Catherine has taught me major life and spiritual lessons, I have evolved as a woman, as an entrepreneur and as a spirit."

Niva Thongkham

"What are the words that best describe my experience while working with Catherine?
POWERFUL, EMPOWERING, INSPIRATIONAL, AUTHENTIC, and UTTERLY AMAZING!

Catherine is full of resources, wisdom, and genuineness. She is gifted in her ability to guide you as you take a deep dive into that greater part of which you are, providing the tools necessary for personal, professional and spiritual growth.

Catherine was a guiding light that helped me unlock many things. Now, when faced with a challenges, I hear the mantras and positive reinforcements that she helped me create, walking away with this compass for the rest of my life. Catherine Plano is transformation personified."

Rhonda Ferridge

Gizem

"Catherine’s positive energy is life changing. Her sincerity, passion and generosity of sharing what she has is truly inspiring. She motivates you on the way to connect with the person you truly are and to believe, care for and love that person. She is a true leader who practices what she preaches. She doesn’t only talk but she walks with you, accompanies you on the way to where you had chosen to reach. Her presence brings motivation, hope and happiness to my life.

Catherine has a deep understanding in human behaviour and is able to read a problem accurately and work energetically with you to make it difference. Most energy workers create a temporary shift – where Catherine has the ability to address problems on a level that actually changes them."
