TESTIMONIALS

The classes I listened to were great! They really helped me frame my upcoming discussion with the VP’s of HR, Legal and Expats. I have 15 minutes to present my slides on building a coaching culture which I introduced as a topic a year ago, when I had just set out to obtain my coaching certification. I can share that I was not as confident in myself as I am today.

I got so much out of this course that I found quite by accident.  The discussion was relevant, timely and directly applied to things I am working on with my clients daily.  I am so glad I found Elevar as the content directly related to improving my mastery of the ICF Core Competencies in support of my personal growth as a coach.

During the months of January and February 2025, I took 5 on-demand courses from Elevar Group, where I was debriefed for each course by Carolyn Thompson.  I thoroughly enjoyed taking the on-demand courses because they gave me time to reflect on the conversations as I could pause and rewind the recording.  I also found that I could use case examples from one course and apply them to another – from a different perspective. Further, I felt as if Carolyn was coaching me during our private debrief sessions.

I recently took 3 courses with the Elevar Group –  Transforming Self-Doubt Into Personal Mastery, Coaching High Performing Teams and Coaching for Emotional and Psychological Safety.
All 3 courses :
– were relevant and well structured
– guided my reflections in a meaningful manner
– provided interaction and sharing amongst participants in a lively and safe space
– were led by Carolyn Thompson with great precision and care

I feel like I not only earned CCE’s but got some valuable coaching and learned a lot.  A sincere thank you.

I love your courses-  fun, interactive with real case studies. Great, straight forward tools and models to help with my clients.

Thank you again for another thoughtful presentation.  Your style of presenting is very smooth and includes many clarifying statements that bring simplicity to your ideas, e.g. using alliteration and phrases of/from wisdom.  These are not only nice reminders to help us do our work better; they also give new perspectives on life and practice.  Another true sign of a great coach!

Incredible class, awesome instructor, invaluable learning experience. I wish I’d had this course and others from Carol as part of my Coach U training. NLC not only makes the core competencies much clearer, it also gives me the tools to employ the competencies in a much more effective way than anything I’ve learned up to this point.

Carol makes the learning fun, relaxed, humorous….a great environment to soak in the material. I always looked forward to the classes and they went by so fast! Thank you!!!

I found the Elevar courses quite by accident as I was searching to round out my training for “re-certification” and I sure am glad that I did. The two courses that I took were fabulous.

What they gave me:

– An in-depth knowledge of the content. Complete with both the concept, the practical application and the student discussion
– Carolyn knows her subject and is a master at engaging all of the students to share their experiences, which makes it a much richer experience.
– The timing is great….2 hours in three days.  I found myself thinking of the subject matter all day and eagerly coming to class the next day.
– In some classes I find my mind wondering or feeling bored.  NOT the case here, every minute is engaging and filled with new material.
– It is great value for the money.

I am a seasoned coach of 20 years and these courses inspired me.

Carolyn’s class on Polarities was relevant and very applicable to my coaching practice. Her approach was direct, approachable, and content-rich. By having access to the introductory video at all times, I was able to view as often as needed to grasp the concepts. And due to this being a digitally based course, I was able to attend regardless where I was traveling AND this saved time and money. I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in an introductory class on the polarity subject. Excellent!

I was able to obtain the CCEs I needed in the time frame I needed them and I really enjoyed the course I chose.
