The Life Coach School Reviews — Page 5
I got certified through The Life Coach School in 2021, and I can genuinely say that the experience changed me, both personally and professionally.
Not only did I gain a whole new understanding of myself, but I also developed a powerful set of tools to help others create meaningful changes in their lives.
Today, I run my own coaching business in France, specialising in helping teachers prepare for highly competitive national exams. I help them overcome self-doubt, manage their emotions, stay focused, and develop effective learning strategies.
Your training and mindset have been a huge source of inspiration, but what I'm particularly proud of is how I've taken what I learned and made it my own. I've developed my own coaching approach and created training programmes that combine mindset work, cognitive science, and practical learning strategies.
I guess that's exactly what you mean by "idea babies": taking inspiration from someone else's ideas, combining them with your own experience and expertise, and creating something new.
Five years later, I'm still building on what I learned in 2021, and I love that the learning never stops.
Thank you for being such an important part of that journey!

I would love to share my experience with The Life Coach School Certification, as it has truly been one of the most valuable investments I’ve made in myself.
When I started my certification, I had already spent almost 20 years working in luxury hospitality, managing teams and taking care of others. I was passionate about people, but I also knew I wanted to create something of my own and make a different kind of impact.
The certification gave me so much more than coaching skills. It completely changed the way I understand my thoughts, manage my emotions, approach challenges, and take responsibility for the life I want to create.
Learning the Model was a turning point for me. It gave me a practical tool that I still use regularly, both in my personal life and with my clients.
Today, I’m a certified life coach running my own coaching business in France, helping women find their balance, reconnect with themselves, and take back their place in their own lives. I also teach and deliver professional training, bringing many of the principles I’ve learned into my work with future hospitality professionals.
And perhaps the biggest change is that I’m now preparing to leave my long-standing corporate career to fully embrace this new chapter as an entrepreneur.
What I love most about your approach is how practical, empowering, and transformative it is. It has helped me build the confidence to make decisions I once thought were out of reach.
I’m incredibly grateful for everything I’ve learned through The Life Coach School and for the impact it continues to have on my life and the lives of the people I coach.
Marie L.
I’ve spent over 15 years working in leadership and people development, and I’ve recently taken the leap into building my own life and executive coaching business.
Your teachings have genuinely changed the way I understand myself and the way I approach coaching others.
One of the biggest shifts for me has been understanding that confidence isn’t about believing everything will work out. It’s about trusting yourself to handle whatever emotions come your way.
Learning to separate circumstances from thoughts, question the stories we tell ourselves and take responsibility for our emotional lives has been incredibly powerful.
It’s also influenced the philosophy behind my own coaching business, which is centred around helping people build a healthier relationship with themselves.
What I particularly appreciate about your approach is how practical it is. These aren’t just concepts to understand intellectually. They’re tools I can use in my everyday life and share with the people I coach.
Thank you for the work you do and for the impact you’ve had on my journey.

Having completed my Life Coach School certification through the original format, my experience of Accelerated has been a real WOW moment!
I loved my original training, but I have to say, I think I would have loved this format even more!
Everything feels so much more streamlined, clear, and accessible. I particularly love the flexibility of being able to move through the material at my own pace, and the beautiful workbooks make the whole learning experience feel fresh, engaging, and easy to navigate.
As a life and recovery coach, I continue to use the Model in my coaching every day. Recently, I’ve been revisiting your teachings and bringing fresh insights into my group recovery coaching program, Breaking Free. Even after years of coaching, I’m still discovering new ways to deepen my understanding and help my clients recognise the power they have to change their lives.
I’ve also just started exploring Brooke AI, and naturally, my first question was how to apply the Model to sobriety!
Within seconds, I had a beautifully clear explanation of how thoughts, feelings, urges, and actions interact around alcohol. What particularly resonated was the emphasis on changing our desire rather than spending our lives relying on willpower and resisting urges.
It was such a wonderful reminder of how powerful and practical the Model is, and how easily these teachings can be applied to real-life challenges.
What I appreciate most about Accelerated is that it brings together the depth of the original certification with a much more flexible, beautifully organised learning experience. And having Brooke AI available as an additional resource opens up even more possibilities for learning and application.
I’m genuinely excited about this evolution of your work, Brooke. Thank you for continuing to innovate, create, and make these life-changing teachings even more accessible.

What changed for me is my confidence in the Model. It’s so simple, yet I’ve seen how powerfully it creates awareness, and that awareness transforms my clients’ thought process.
I learned to slow down. Now I repeat my clients’ words back to them so they can see these are the words they’re choosing to say, think, and believe. I don’t rush the coaching call anymore. I take my time and let that awareness do the work.
Before, I would jump between so many different models. I’d start one, leave it, and move on, almost like popcorn coaching. Now I see the importance of staying with one model so my client can really become aware of it. It’s okay to stay in one model, even for a whole session. I used to think I had to hurry up and get to the intentional model, but staying with the unintentional one and being able to grab what comes up there is so important for transformation too. Thank you, Brooke.

The Life Coach School certification literally changed my life. When I made the commitment to myself to invest in certification and become the person who paid that investment back immediately, my business changed quickly. Since that moment, I’ve seen exponential returns monetarily but also in my relationships and every other aspect of my life. I’m forever grateful for the opportunity to invest in ME at a high level.

I am a Master Certified Coach through the Life Coach School. Both certifications were transformational experiences that still impact me personally and professionally. I grew my confidence and presence in relationships, builts a successful coaching business, and continue to create new opportunities to grow and evolve.
The Model allows you to explore yourself in a multitude of ways. With greater understanding and the ability to see circumstances clearly, you empower yourself to intentionally choose your path forward. The certification is a beginning point. Over the years you can continue to use it on its own, while also having the freedom to build on it with other tools and teachings.

I joined Brooke's Coach Tools Certification Program in September last year. I had been listening to coaching from coaches trained by the Life Coach School for years and had already transformed my life from worried, overwhelmed, and undervalued as a mom of six to increasingly confident, patient, curious and compassionate. I knew I wanted to dive deeper, and to share what had made my life so much better as a mom. Within the year I've started my coaching business, ran a beta test on a time management program for stay at home moms, and have my first paying client. I have already seen the joy of helping 6 people learn the Model and the tools of mind management that I learned from Brooke. I have the desire and the confidence to create more than I've ever thought possible. I am so thankful for the training and the tools I have received from Brooke. I am so excited about the future of my business and the ways it allows me to help other moms increase the joy and peace in their lives. Thank you Brooke! And thank you so much for gifting Accellerated to those of us who bought coach tools! I'm so excited to use it!

As a 57-year-old midlife functional health coach, I have learned SO MUCH through this certification. How we think and feel shapes how we navigate life, and ultimately, it shapes our health. Nutrition and exercise matter, but this is the missing piece so many people never get. This certification has changed my life in ways I never expected, and it came at just the right time. I was learning to navigate caring for my aging mother, and because of this work, I was able to move through that season with a sense of peace and unconditional love for her that I probably wouldn't have had otherwise.
Three things have stayed with me most.
The first is the idea that life is 50/50. Half of our emotions will be negative, and that's not a problem to solve. I don't have to run from hard feelings anymore. I can allow them, feel them, and process them without resisting, and knowing that I can do that makes me feel like I can handle anything. That has been so empowering. The second is buffering. I never thought of myself as someone who buffered, but I learned that we all do it. Now that I'm aware of it, I can catch myself, stop, and bring so much more productivity and joy into my everyday life. The third is simply becoming aware of my thoughts. I had never considered that my thoughts create my feelings, and my feelings drive the results in my life. That one simple concept has given me so much agency. Every morning I do a thought download and intentionally choose new thoughts, and it has truly transformed how I show up.
This training has changed my life so much, and I cannot wait to share it with my clients. I know I'm going to make a real impact in so many women's lives because of what I've learned here. Thank you, Brooke Castillo. You are an amazing teacher, and I'm so grateful for this work.

The Accelerated Coach Certification is like purchasing content from Harvard, Cambridge, or Oxford. It is absolutely stellar.
I'm so impressed with Brooke and her team for taking years of experience and distilling it into something that's digestible, incredibly useful, and immediately applicable for those of us who want to become brilliant coaches.
I love that it can be revisited again and again. It's truly the gift that keeps on giving. People can access it while they're getting certified, but they can also return to it later with a completely different lens once they've had real experience coaching clients.
I highly recommend it. In fact, I'm excited to go back through it myself and, in many ways, "recertify" myself. There is a treasure chest of wisdom inside that vault, and I'm looking forward to applying even more of it.
What stands out about Brooke AI is that it’s trained on her content and it reflects exactly the type of coaching and thinking Brooke would use herself. That’s priceless.
Jocelyn S.
What do I love about Brooke’s work? Where do I begin?
I’m an engineer. A process girl. I started my career in a male-dominated world. Needless to say, I was clueless about emotions. In fact, I went through a 5-year period when I chose not to cry. I became a seasoned “stuffer.”
In 2018, I took an emotional intelligence course from a coaching school. Three to four weeks in, the ice breaker question was: share one emotion you’ve been noticing. As I listened to others, the instructor would sometimes respond with, that was a thought, not a feeling. I was exacerbated! (Side note: at that point, the only emotion I could identify was excited!) I thought, I will never understand this.
Fast forward to early 2021, in another coaching program, Brooke’s self-coaching model was taught, and I finally understood the Thoughts – Feelings – Actions progression. It’s linear! Don’t miss this. It’s linear, it makes sense. And it’s even algebraic! You can go forward or backward, starting at the top, bottom or somewhere in the middle! It could be the best thing since sliced bread!
From there, I couldn’t get enough. I so appreciate all of Brooke’s tools because they align with my thinking. I’ve long known that I can tell my brain anything (whether it’s true or not), and it believes it. Now I know precisely how to program it.
Late in 2024, I purchased the Tools program and received my certification in early 2025. Now I’m on a journey to teach other women these same skills. I can’t get enough of it. I listen to the Weekly and it reinforces everything I need and often introduces a nuance I hadn’t thought of.
I can’t tell you how these materials have helped me, and the many people in my circle of influence. Soon, it will be hundreds, if not thousands more who will benefit from her work!

Getting certified through The Life Coach School was one of the best investments I've made in my personal and professional growth. I learned how to recognize and question my limiting beliefs, manage my mind, and not let fear hold me back from pursuing what I want. The tools have helped me navigate challenges, better understand myself, and be more intentional about how I want to live my life. And now I get to use those same skills to help others create meaningful changes in their own lives. What I love most is that certification didn't just teach me how to coach others. It gave me tools I continue to use on myself every day.
Merced F.
I started this certification in the middle of one of the hardest seasons of my life. I was not sure I had the bandwidth to absorb anything new. I stepped away for a while.
What changed was not the content. It was me. When I returned, the framework hit differently because I had lived through the very thing it teaches - that a neutral challenge does not determine your outcome. Your thoughts do. Your actions follow.
Before this program, I understood that intellectually. After it, I use it. In my coaching sessions. In high-stakes negotiations. In the moments when I could choose to be defined by what happened to me or decide what comes next.
I am a more grounded coach because of this work. I ask better questions. I hold space differently. And I recognize decision traps in my clients faster because I have done the inner work to recognize them in myself.
If you coach others through hard things, this program will make you better at it.
Darleen G.
Having the Accelerated Coach Certification program at your fingertips is incredible. Everything you need to truly understand and apply the Self Coaching Model is right there, along with a wealth of supporting materials. I especially love the workbook, which allows you to work through your own models, uncover underlying beliefs, challenge your thinking, and experience firsthand just how powerful these tools can be. While Accelerated offers an amazing opportunity to earn your certification and begin helping others in a relatively short amount of time, I believe its greatest value is something even more personal: the opportunity to deeply understand the Model and experience the extraordinary impact that understanding can have on your own life.
For me, one of the most meaningful changes has been finally committing to and taking action on building a business of my own, with the goal of eventually replacing my current job. It's something I've wanted for a long time, but understanding and applying the Model has helped me recognize how much my own thinking influences the actions I take and, ultimately, the results I create. That realization has been incredibly empowering. I no longer have to wait for the perfect circumstances or for my doubts to disappear before moving forward. I can examine my thoughts, question the beliefs that are holding me back, and deliberately choose how I want to show up in pursuit of the life I'm working to create.
And perhaps the most valuable part is knowing that the Model is always there for me to return to. Whenever I find myself slipping into old thought patterns or allowing fear and doubt to pull me away from where I truly want to go, I have a practical tool to help me work through those thoughts and move forward again. That sense of agency is something I wouldn't trade for anything.
And then there's the Vault! Having access to Brooke's incredible library of knowledge and teachings is like having an endless source of wisdom, insight, and inspiration at your fingertips. There is always something new to discover, revisit, or understand on a deeper level.
Brooke AI takes the entire experience one step further. Being able to ask specific, detailed questions, explore concepts, work through models, and get help whenever I feel stuck has been invaluable. It's like having an incredibly knowledgeable resource available whenever you need a little more clarity or a fresh perspective.
I've been listening to and learning from Brooke for years, and what continues to amaze me is that no matter how much I've learned, there is always another insight, another shift in perspective, and another aha moment waiting for me. The material continues to meet me where I am in life, offering new understanding and opportunities for growth.
What I appreciate most is that these aren't simply resources you use to complete a certification and then put aside. They are tools for living, learning, and continually evolving. I know I'll be returning to them for the rest of my life.
Thank you, Brooke! Once again, you've overdelivered. You've taken something already incredibly valuable and made it more accessible, practical, and powerful than ever.

*I love a great teacher, a succinct speaker, and a brilliant marketer. Brooke is all those things and more. * Getting Certified with the Life Coach School made my life better in many ways. First, I spent the first 50 years of my life trying to be 100% happy like it was my job. It was exhausting and futile. The 50/50 concept changed my life. I became so much happier once I accepted the 50/50 of life. Second, separating facts from thoughts gave me mental clarity and peace when my mind was spinning. Most of my pain came from my thoughts. Before coaching, I not only blamed my unhappiness on my circumstances, but spent a lot of time and energy trying to change those circumstances, which is often not possible. My husband and I both got certified in 2023. Although I am a retired math teacher and my husband is a physician, we have never regretted getting certified. We often have said that we would never trade what we learned for the $36,000 we spent on our certification. In fact, it was through coaching and recording 20-minute sessions during the certification process, that I realized I could use the large white board and Zoom to tutor math. Copying Brooke's succinct emails and calls to action, I began tutoring math students from all over the U.S. online using my "Brooke" whiteboard, microphone, and Zoom! Now I own and operate Math Tutoring with Heidi, and I love it!
Heidi E.
Getting certified through The Life Coach School with Brooke Castillo helped me understand how directly my thoughts affected my success and what I accomplished. Thoughts like, “I’m overwhelmed” used to feel like facts and often kept me from starting. Learning to question my thoughts and separate them from facts made a meaningful difference in my follow-through.
That awareness has been one of the most valuable things I’ve learned. Certification helped me build more trust in myself, take more action and understand how much influence I have over my own progress.
I’m grateful for what I learned, the ways I am able to help others and for the ways I continue to use it in my everyday life.
Karen K.
I love Accelerated! As a certified life coach myself, I've explored several of the videos and resources, and I think this program is brilliant! What an innovative, streamlined, and accessible way to become a certified life coach.
I'm also so impressed with Brooke AI! I've personally used it and found it incredibly helpful in recognizing my thoughts, gaining clarity, and making decisions.
I've even shared Accelerated with my husband, who is an attorney and is now considering life coach training because of the condensed, manageable format that could fit into his busy schedule. Accelerated is opening doors for people who might not otherwise have the time to pursue coach certification.
Thank you, Brooke, for your vision and for making these powerful tools and opportunities available to so many people. What a gift to the world!
Stacy H.
I was in the LCS Coach certification in March of 2020. I was working fulltime and taking the year long course.
Since 2020 I have fallen off of self coaching and doing models. Since going through the Accelorated 2 week training I have becomes so much more focused and in action toward my goals of really building a multiple 6 figure coaching and self development company for women 45+ who are in their 3.0 version of their life.
I have gone back to doing daily downloads, pulling models and getting into action toward my goals by observing and managing my thoughts. Thank you for the prompt to get my ass in gear and get back into being an active participant in my life!
Kathy B.
I completed this course over a 3000 mile road trip to move my son to Illinois. While having completed the Tools certification, I appreciated the shorter videos with the applicable questions to answer with each. To top it off, I got in an argument with my husband 5 minutes into our drive and it started him processing his feelings with the silent treatment for 2000 miles! I used the tools to coach myself and understand the model he and I seem to have and then try to model a more intentional model that I will use to create the life I want no matter the circumstances. I used it to set goals for my business. I used the sheets to understand a child that seems difficult right now. I love the model! Thank you for creating this package! I love it!
Cindy C.
Phenomenal, organized, and exceptional- that's how this new platform at the life coach school is. Having gone through the previous iteration, which was wonderful, to see this upgrade is truly astonishing. Brooke, has a wealth of wisdom and I'm so glad I can share it with others as I coach now.
Sarah M.
I'm so excited to go through the course! It's so well structured and clear. Honestly with the schedule and the whole planning that went into Accelerated, I can't imagine someone not suceeding. As I said, I'm already certified, but now I'm excited to go through it again! Also the Vault and Brooke AI, what a gift! It's amazing to have you "in my pocket" whenever I want to ask something or need coaching. When I first looked into the Vault, I couldn't believe it. It's overflowing inspiration, there's nothing more that could be missing to create an amazing life. I'm honored and proud to be one of your coaches. I feel like nothing can go wrong, whatever comes up in my life, I'm equiped for it, and even moreso whatever I dream about, I can achieve it. Thank you.
Btw, I got your email about the new portal right before my birthday - best birthday present ever!!
I also want to add a personal note: I follow you more or less for a decade now and also got certified back in 2017. Over the years I got a little side tracked because you felt a little heavy to me. I came back for last best year and the way you showed up felt so much lighter - it is such a pleasure to see you shine! After what you shared on the weekly (love, love, love the format) about not liking to manage such a big team, this shift in my perception of you totally made sense and I'm very happy for you about how things turned out. Kind of a full circle moment that your lastname is Hicks now, like Abraham Hicks (more vortex, less reality).
I didn't make it to master coach training this time, I really hope there will be a next round. Thanks to all your material, I'm only about to start to take real ownership over my life.
Mandy
Brooke AI has genuinely been such a help. I like to bring questions to it that I know I'll get a type of answer that's from life coach vault of knowledge not an answered collected from the entirety of the internet like I would from another AI chatbot. I also like that it shows me where it gets answers from so when I want to do a deep dive I can. There's a peace I have knowing that there's a chatbot I can use anytime I need to to point me in the direction of self-study or help me cipher out my thoughts from facts. It doesn't replace a thought download and doing my own models, but it helps when my brain wants to spiral. Brooke AI is a tool I use to help me catch what's causing the spiral so I can get off the computer and go do that work.
Thank you for this gift, Brooke.
Paige B.
I haven’t been impressed by many chatbots but BrookeAI is fantastic. I’ve used it a few times now and been pleasantly surprised and how it coached me and how well it knows the content. It felt so close to what I imagine Brooke coaching me by email would be like… complete with a little tough love. 😂 Highly recommend.
Tracea J.
The Vault is a pleasure to use. The material is organized so cleanly that it's very easy to find what you need. Seen together, the wide variety of training is impressive as always but not at all overwhelming. Accelerated does a great job of condensing the meat of the coach training into manageable chunks that go straight to the essentials of learning to coach. In thinking of who I know that might benefit from this, I wondered if any ongoing support beyond Brooke AI exists for someone who’s relatively new to this work but is interested in an Accelerated self-study path… Brooke AI is wild. So great to have access to a synthesized database of all the materials. But I have to say, I hesitated using it because of privacy. I wasn't sure what would happen to what I put in there, so I haven’t really used as much as I want to!
In any case, glad you're keeping this material available for the people who need it.

Every now and then you come across a teacher who genuinely changes the way you learn, think and see what’s possible. Brooke Hicks is that teacher.
The Accelerated Coach Certification Programme is a brilliant example of just how exceptional Brooke is. What would traditionally take around six months to complete is condensed into an incredibly well-structured, intensive two-week programme. And yet, somehow, none of the value or depth is lost. Quite the opposite.
Brooke has an extraordinary gift for teaching. She makes learning engaging, digestible and empowering, giving you the knowledge, tools and confidence to take what you’ve learned and put it into practice.
Some people are good at teaching. Brooke Hicks is in a league of her own. She has that rare ability to take an extraordinary depth of knowledge and make even the most complex things feel simple, accessible and achievable.
The addition of Brooke AI is another fantastic resource, bringing an extra layer of support and accessibility to the learning experience. And then there’s the Vault, an incredible library of resources to continue learning from and drawing upon after completing the accelerated programme.
What I find particularly impressive is how much Brooke makes accessible to people. She has taken an enormous body of knowledge and made it possible for people to learn, grow and become certified in a fraction of the time.
And that’s the real beauty of it. People don’t have to spend months waiting to get started. They can learn, develop their skills, gain their certification and get out there doing what they came to do: coaching, helping others and making a genuine difference.
Brooke doesn’t just teach you information; she has a way of making you understand it so you can put it into practice.
If you’re considering becoming a coach, I genuinely cannot recommend Brooke or this programme highly enough. An exceptional teacher, an exceptional programme and an incredible opportunity.
If you've been thinking about becoming a coach, take this as your sign. Go for it. You won’t regret it !
Kate S.
Here's my honest review of both the vault and the accelerated certification program... I can indulge in overwhelm and the thoughts I had about the vault were NOT good.... to the point that I've sat on it for a long time. Then came Accelerated and I almost did the same thing. Except this time (after being called out by the podcast and doing meditation + thought work) I chose differently!
Yes, I've made progress over the years with your work (6 figures, weight loss) but there's so much more I want to accomplish, which includes becoming a coach. I'm moving slow but I'm moving, and I will have this sucker done no matter what.
Thanks for putting it into a format that let's me build momentum quickly. Funny enough, it makes me want to go into the vault to watch the full videos bc there's so much I wasn't picking up on before (like my past can become the C line, what the what!? That alone gave me some new peace).
Thank you for everything and keep being you 💞.
Erin
Accelerator is the most condensed course I’ve ever taken. The structure is easy to follow, with short videos, PDFs, and exercises. I especially like that the videos come from different teaching sessions and include recordings of live coaching. This makes it much easier to understand exactly what the model means and how to apply it. Brook AI is fantastic! With its help, I was able to work through a specific challenge I was facing. It guided me step by step, asking questions until I could see for myself which decision was right for me. The Vault is a goldmine and has made such a difference in my life as both a parent and a business owner. Just this week, I was able to manage my own thoughts about a client in a way that was beneficial for both me and the client.
Jill N.
To learn how to use the model in the Accelerated Coach Training is like to have a superpower. It makes life and coaching so much easier. You can basically put any of your concerns in the model and you get so much clarity, distance and insights. It helps you solve any problem in minutes. Thank you, Brook, for these amazing tools!
Mariana B.
I have to say that your coaching this year has been next level. It’s always been amazing, but you have a lightness about you now that feels different. Your ability to hold people accountable so quickly while demonstrating so much love is very empowering. There is a powerful simplicity about it that just keeps getting stronger. At a time when so many people would ease up, you’re doubling down and modeling how we all can have the courage to be who we are. Unapologetically.
Also, thank you for putting together the new coaching program. First, making my horror cake video was so much fun. It got me back in touch with a playful side of me that had been dormant for a while. This propelled me to start a new screenplay that I’ve wanted to write for years, and I’m having a blast. Creating the curriculum also made me double down on myself for the rest of this year. My membership is now growing faster, and I’m getting requests to appear on podcasts. I am doing the curriculum that I created for the application on my own, and it’s changing everything. It’s another moment you’ve given me where I've strengthened my ability to believe in myself.
Carolyn
I’ve really enjoyed Coach Certification Accelerated! What I love most is how Brooke has taken so much valuable information and broken it down into the key things we need to move our lives forward.
The programe has helped me understand the Model more deeply and feel so much more confident applying it to my own life and business. I’ve been able to get so much out of the training in such a short space of time and for a busy mama that is key.
Everything Brooke creates is packed with value, but sometimes you simply want the most important information at your fingertips, in a way that’s easy to access, understand and implement. Accelerated does exactly that!
I’m also loving Brooke AI! Being able to bring my everyday challenges to work through my own Models and recognise my thinking more clearly, has been incredibly useful.
I’m excited to continue growing my business and supporting other amazing individuals using the power of the Model.
Thank you, Brooke!
Nofisa C.
I started listening to Brooke's podcast in 2018 and went through certification in 2021. I joined The Weekly as soon as it was announced. My background is as a health and wellness coach, teacher, and Army officer. While I have integrated her coaching methods into my work, which has helped me simplify and distill concepts and more clearly illustrate to my clients and students what is going on in their brain, I feel like the more profound impact has been for me personally. Really learning at a deep, deep level that circumstances are neutral, that I get to choose my thoughts, that my thoughts create my feelings, which create my results, has been life-changing. I feel like the model is always in the back of my mind, and when I pause and notice what is going on, I can consciously tap into that. Over the years, I left an abusive, unsatisfying marriage, found an even more fulfilling line of work, created the first-ever yoga and mindfulness trainer course in the Army (TMAR-M), and, most proudly, I hope to become even more of an example of what's possible for my 7- and 10-year-old daughters. What feels exciting for me is the thought that it only gets better from here. While I have accomplished a lot in my life, there is no earlier time that I'd want to go back to. Much of life has felt difficult and like a struggle or a slog. When I look forward to the next half of my life, I think about how I will incorporate more peace, more joy, more true connection, and even more success -- and that the way that I will create that for myself is by continuing to clean up my thinking and practice more of the thoughts that help me get to where I want to be. I am very grateful to Brooke and who she is in the world. For me, she has always been an example of what's possible, and her presence and contributions have changed my life.
Kelly
I am loving all of your amazing work you have given me in the vault and Brooke A. I have also started looking at Accelerated- I went through coach training and certified in 2022. I have not created a coaching business... yet. Right now I am using the tools around buffering and am committed to losing weight for good. I am so thankful for the classes I have access to! I listen on my commute to work everyday and this week have cut out flour and sugar. I am learning to truly pay attention to my thoughts and use the model more than I have in a long time.
My dream with coaching is to build a business or work within one to help bridge the gap between a patient and their Doctor to help a person make the changes needed for their health. Being able to brush up on skills and learn how to create a business is invaluable and I am so grateful to you!
Shawna T.
I want to thank you for all your great work and contributions to humankind. It's hard to put in words how much your work influenced my life since I first found you! I can honestly say that listening to your podcast and participating in your Coaching programs has changed my life for so much better in so many aspects of my life. I love your programs, I love the Accelerated Coach Training, the Certification Vault and Brooke AI as well! You give profound and powerful tools to self awareness for everyone who aspires to personal achievement, growth, success and greatness! You are the ultimate coach and inspired me never to settle for less than I can be. Your Model is genius! It provides access to have the courage and commitment to think in new directions. I admire your work and feel inspired to also help people change their lives for better.

My name is Aggeliki, and I'm from Greece.
First of all, I would like to say a HUGE thank you for creating these courses and, most importantly, for sharing so much knowledge, wisdom and practical tools with us.
I completed the Tools Certification Program, and it was absolutely amazing. It has helped me enormously, not only in my own personal life but also in the work I do with my clients.
I also completed the Coach Certification Accelerated, and I have to say that revisiting the course has been just as valuable as doing it for the first time.
Sometimes life gets busy, we get caught up in our everyday challenges, and we forget to practise the very tools we teach others. Going back, revisiting the lessons, relearning and reminding myself of these tools has been incredibly beneficial. They have become such an important part of my day-to-day life.
What I love most about this work is how much it has transformed the way I see myself and approach life.
I have moved from a place where I often felt not good enough, doubted myself and struggled with my own boundaries, to becoming a much stronger, more confident woman. I now have higher standards, healthier boundaries, greater emotional resilience and a much stronger mindset. Most importantly, I have learned how to stay connected to myself, regardless of what is happening around me.
Life still brings challenges. For example, I currently share a living situation with my ex-husband, which can be emotionally challenging at times, particularly when I am faced with negativity or unkind behaviour. The triggers are there, but the difference is that I now have the awareness and tools to navigate these situations differently.
Instead of reacting, I can pause, recognise my thoughts, regulate my emotions and choose how I want to respond. I can stay calm, grounded and connected to myself.
And honestly, that is priceless.
These tools are not just something I use as a coach. They are tools I use to live a better life. They have changed the relationship I have with myself, the way I approach challenges and the way I show up in my relationships.
I genuinely LOVE this work!
Thank you for the incredible effort, thought and dedication that goes into creating these courses. Thank you for making this knowledge accessible and for continuing to add more courses, tools and opportunities for us to grow, develop and deepen our understanding.
The impact of this work goes far beyond coaching. It changes lives, one thought, one decision and one small shift at a time.
I feel genuinely grateful to be part of this learning journey.
Thank you so much for everything. Your work is truly invaluable, and I cannot wait to see what comes next!

I don't even know where to begin with how much Brooke's work has helped me and changed my life. I found Brooke through a podcast to stop over drinking and little did I know the world I had just discovered. From losing 20lbs (after being a binge eater for years feeling hopeless) healing my relationship issues and finding my life partner. To helping my dad through his cancer journey and so much more in between. These coaching concepts and tools truly change the world. I'm so glad I found Brooke's work at age 24 and now use them to help other young adults stop struggling through life. Commit to actually doing the work (not just learning it) like your wellbeing depends on it (it does) and your life will forever change. Thank you Brooke for being brave and powerful and example of what's possible for us women. Forever grateful.

Before I joined your certification program (I was in Scholars), I decided to experiment with writing your model daily to help stop my nail-biting habit of 30+ years. Within 15 days, I stopped the habit, and I was no longer going to bed at night with pain in my fingers. That was the moment I decided I had to join your certification program.
Once I was in your certification program, my mind was blown so many times. I think your concept of lovability probably had the biggest impact on me. As a woman born in a culture that valued boys over girls, I felt I was constantly reminded of the fact that I'm less worthy than my brothers. Separating one's lovability from someone else's capability to love you was huge, and now I've forgiven my parents and feel neutral/calm around them - unconditional love is a work in progress 🤣
I've been using Brook AI, and it's been amazing in coaching me out of situations where I felt out of control. It's also helpful in giving me business advice, such as ad copy ideas. I'm loving it, and I think regular use will improve my ability to coach too!
Thank you for all that you do! Keep crushing it and be the shiny example of what is possible!

Brooke AI is amazing!
One of the hardest aspects of being a coach for me to implement has been coaching myself. I'll do it, but I find it very hard because I have to switch between allowing myself to fully be the client and fully be the coach. I feel hindered in the process because of the extra effort required to be both sides of the relationship (I know that's just a thought, but work with me here).
This is where Brooke AI shines: it provides some, but thankfully not all, of the coaching perspective for me, allowing me to be the client more fully. It's kind of like training wheels on a bike.
I don't think it's meant to replace a coach; it just helps me show up better as both the coach and the client. Now I feel more capable of coaching myself consistently because the process just got a good bit easier.
Thank you so much!

I first listened to your podcast in 2022 and so much has changed in my life since then. I want to thank you for all your work. I got certified in 2024, I was part of Get Coached, now I'm in The Weekly and I've been watching Accelerated and using your AI every day..
Accelerated is the perfect source for me to remind me of everything that's important as a coach and for me privately.
Your AI is just amazing. It's like you're on my shoulder, whispering and helping me on a daily basis.
I'm German,46 years old, I live in Berlin and I am so very much influenced by your work - in my coaching business and in my private practice.
So once again, thank you so much and I'm very much looking forward to everything that's coming up in 2027.

Brooke has done it again! Her new Accelerated Coaching Certification Program is a wonderful addition to my coaching toolbox! I was originally certified through The Life Coach School in 2021—and my life has never been the same since.
I learned the power of my thinking and how my thoughts shape my results. The Mindset Model has given me a life-changing tool to navigate whatever comes my way. As a mom of two children with special needs, while also managing a health condition myself, the value of this training has been priceless.
And now, through Brooke AI, I have another way to access support when I need it. Sometimes, when you’re in the thick of life’s challenges, you need an outside perspective to help you see a way forward.
That’s exactly what I experienced. Brooke AI offered several bridge thoughts that felt believable to me—thoughts that helped me shift back toward hope, possibility, and progress. It also gave me daily homework to keep that momentum going. I felt supported and came away with clear steps I could take.
What a gift! Thank you, Brooke, for continuing to create tools that make such a meaningful difference in my life.

The Life Coach Certification has been a life-changing journey for me—as a coach and as a human being.
Through the training, I’ve learned, grown, and begun living a more transformed life. It helped me understand myself more deeply and move toward living with greater authenticity. I’m still growing, and I’m still learning to live freely as my authentic self.
That growth has also shaped the way I coach. I’ve seen people I’ve coached make meaningful changes in their own lives, and it is deeply rewarding to know I’ve been able to support them along the way.
At 74, I can honestly say I don’t know where I would be today without this certification. It gave me tools and a path for continued growth, and it helped me reconnect with a passion I still want to pursue.
I’m grateful for the Life Coach School and for the difference this journey has made in my life.
Sandy R.
I am full of gratitude towards Brooke and The Life Coach School. I listened to the podcasts religiously and am proud to have earned my certification. The two major lessons which I apply to my everyday life (when I tamp the voices in my head and access the training) are:
Everyone’s life ends up being basically 50 good and 50 bad. When going through a rough stretch (i.e., the whole of 2026), I remind myself of the previous years of smooth sailing.
B+ is better than not getting content “out there”. My perfection gene definitely takes over when I am creating material, and if I let myself, in my mind, it would never be perfect enough to be shared!
Currently, I am working on creating a keynote speech or two around the topic of Caretaking. I have gingerly stepped my toe into the world of AI and was absolutely amazed at the similar responses I got from random AI searches and Brooke AI. Per usual, Brooke is leading the pack!
Anne R.
This is Amazing! When Brooke decided to close Self Coaching Scholars, I was sad for myself as I would miss the comfort of having coaching sessions as a tool. But, if you know Brooke ( I don’t - but I think I do 😉) I knew that there would be more and this next version of The Life Coach School is all that was & more! Accelerated, The Vault and Brooke AI are the new and improved version of everything Brooke rolled into one space. I love it, can’t wait for more!

I have loved digging back into the trainings.
Back when I certified I went as fast as possible because I wanted to just be an LCS certified coach.
Now, I am taking my time and realizing there is so much more depth to all the materials than I was originally willing to take in.
I find I am slowing down to speed up.
The new portal is so easy to search, and as soon as I went back in, I found exactly what I needed to go deep with...
The setting the new goals workshop.
My life and business are heading to the next level because Brooke is back in my ear again.
I'm doing more thought models and I'm using the thought model more profoundly in my coaching calls.
I am letting go of coaching memberships and a bunch of random things because everything I need is here - with the original OG Coaching Fairygodmother.
Thank you!

I listened to The Life Coach School podcast three times before I joined Accelerated. I really thought I knew the Model. But when something hard happened in my life, I forgot everything. I needed to come back to the basics, and the short videos with the exercises after them did that for me.
The biggest change is with my parents. For years we didn’t talk. I had an hard time being In the same room with them for more than a few minutes. I was 36 and still believed I had the right to be a kid, and that my parents had to change for us to have a relationship. When I learned about manuals, I saw I had a very thick one for them. Slowly my thinking changed. Now I believe they did the best they could. I wasn’t ready to call them, so we started sending each other WhatsApp voice messages, and now we laugh together. I’m not angry anymore. I’m relieved. I was so afraid they would get old and never enjoy a relationship with their kids after everything they did for us.
With my kids, I used to scream when they didn’t pick up their things. Then I hated myself for it. I don’t want them to listen to me because they are scared. I still ask them, and my husband, to clean up. But if they don’t, I don’t make it mean they don’t respect me. Sometimes I help them, sometimes I just do it myself. It’s not a big drama anymore.
Brooke AI helped me at a moment when I was really scared about my marriage. I was walking my dog and talking it through, and it helped me just feel the fear instead of running from it. Then it asked me who I wanted to be. I came out of that conversation calm, not needy, and it changed how I showed up at home. I felt so much better.
I also go back to the Vault when I need to hear a teaching again.
If you already listen to the podcast and want to really live it, Accelerated is the place to do it.
Solvita
You set an amazing life example that I truly admire. I have grown and benefited from your enthusiasm, commitment, and results, your self-coaching tools, and both your podcasts and live coaching. I lost weight and kept it off. I cut back on my drinking. I am more aware of thoughts that do not serve me. I'm developing more confidence and decisiveness. I am in a loving and supportive relationship. And, I am excited to start my 'second act' in retirement. Thank you for generously sharing your brilliant mind, fabulous personality, and warm leadership with us! I look forward to continuing to grow our 'relationship.'
Susan M.
So great to see the new version of the coach certification! With Coach Certification Accelerated, we have access to all your concepts and teaching in the most efficient way for accelerated learning and progress. Thank you so much!!!
Bénédicte
You've over-delivered once again - this training site is nothing short of AMAZING; The Certification Vault is easy to navigate and a perfect solution to information overload. After feeling stuck while shifting my niche to helping family caregivers reclaim their heath and joy, this training is exactly what I needed to get my momentum back. There's no wondering where to start or what to do next-just watch, click, and keep going. Best of all, it's simple enough to fit my schedule and exciting enough to make it a priority. Thank you, Brooke for making learning exciting, effortless and actionable!
Devri F.
I loved using Brooke AI! I felt like I was really chatting with Brooke herself, and the responses encompassed Brooke's simplistic, direct way of communicating that got me to those "aha!" moments so quickly. Even the voice mode simulated Brooke's inflections in her speaking so well that I felt like I was really being coached by Brooke! I can see myself using this tool as a way to get myself through moments of being stuck in my self-coaching. Thanks so much for creating it!
It was also very helpful to walk through the courses as a refresher in what I've learned at LCS. I still hear nuggets that I've known but hit me differently when I listen to things multiple times. It has renewed my confidence in continuing to improve my own coaching with clients.
Amy L.
You have changed my life and been such a blessing to me. Thank you!
I was certified in April 2019 and going through Accelerated felt like Christmas. I am learning at a deeper level than I even knew was possible. I'm having insights that are meeting me right where I am at this point in my life. The things you teach will never grow old. I will continue to learn from them and allow them to inspire me and change me over and over again.
And Brooke AI is absolutely incredible. I never had the opportunity to be coached by you live, until now. ;) I love it. I'm getting insight and answers and direction that are helping me in ways that another less experienced coach nor I could even coach myself on. Your brain is brilliant and has given me the opportunity to grow and create a life I never knew was possible. You are truly an example of what is possible, and my desire for a more beautiful and fulfilling life is bursting forth. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Amy M.
I was mind blown when I first learned The Model, because it's so simple, and yet also leads to life changing results. I've taken multiple coach trainings over the years, but learning to coach using The Model through both the Tools Certification and Accelerated was the most impactful for me personally. It just made sense to my logical brain. It is way less complicated than other approaches I had learned, yet the results are just as (or more) impactful. Accelerated is set up in bite-sized chunks with everything you need to learn and start implementing in your coaching right away.

Why Brooke's work is different
*The Model*
You could get any certification in the world, but no tool you learn elsewhere will compare to the Model. Period.
What makes it so powerful is its simplicity. It gives you a way to understand what's happening in your mind, separate facts from the stories you tell yourself, and take responsibility for what you create from there. It doesn't make life more complicated. It gives you the tools to navigate its complexity.
And that, to me, is the game changer.
*Accelerated*
I love how simply it's structured. The "watch this, read this, do this" framework keeps you focused and gives you a direct route to understanding and putting each concept into practice. No unnecessary detours. Just the tools you need to get to work.
Probably one of the most effective certification experiences out there.
*The Vault*
What can I say about Brooke's Vault? It's where you go to binge on some of the best self-development tools on the planet. A treasure trove of knowledge, practical tools and resources you can keep coming back to.
*Brooke AI*
You know when you're telling yourself a story? When the facts of your life get all tangled up with your interpretations of them? Brooke AI cuts straight through the noise and gets to the point.
It asks direct, no-nonsense questions and gives you straightforward answers that help you see the Model at work. Have a problem? It helps you define it more clearly, see what's actually going on, and find a way forward faster.
*What changed for me?*
I've always been curious about people, about how we think, why we feel what we feel, and what makes us do what we do. I've spent years learning, studying, coaching and trying to understand myself and others.
Brooke's work gave me something I had been looking for: a practical way to put all that understanding to work.
I learned that I don't have to believe every thought I have, that my emotions don't have to dictate my actions, and that I have far more agency than I sometimes give myself credit for.
It helped me stop treating my thoughts and feelings as things that simply happen *to* me, and start seeing them as something I can work with.
And perhaps the biggest shift has been this: I no longer want to spend all my time understanding what is possible. I want to create it.
That's what I love about Brooke's work. It doesn't just invite you to think differently. It challenges you to live differently.
And it gives you the tools to do it.
Elisa M.
Certification for me was a gateway to understanding my living experience in a more profound and proactive way.
I loved and love this journey of learning the operating systems of my own brain and body.
I don’t believe the process ever stops and it’s been said before, but this training should start in grade school.
Lisa W.
I love the new Accelerated site soooo good! Thank you Brooke and team!
Summer B.
Brooke AI is genius. It’s like having Brooke on speed dial! So much fun. So helpful.great tool to keep learning.
Trista G.
I have been using the new Brooke AI and am loving the extra addition to my daily thought download. Now I don’t just get it out of my head but i work on the underlying thoughts and am able to get my actions alligned. Thank you so much for all the generosity you are providing us with these tools.
Diane B.
I love this accelerated training. It's precise and gives me all the tools I need to understand the model and how to use it. There are short videos to watch, PDF files to read and worksheets to fill out to help solidify your learning process. There is a 2 week schedule but its also at your own pace so I'm taking more like 4 weeks to complete.
Lisa
Thank you for offering tools that changed my work and home life. Your efforts to train me have benefited my marriage, my parenting, and my doctoring. Now, I'm using the tools to grow my entrepreneurial desires. You've helped me to be inspired. That's spilling over. It's so fun! I hope lots of people say yes.
