Speaker: Sarah Cooper
What made you choose this menopause coaching diploma instead of other options?
Sarah Cooper: So why did I decide to do this course? I've been thinking of doing this course since I saw Lauren speak at a conference, but when I got an opportunity to start up my own business, I decided to take the plunge. I really liked the fact that the training taught you to coach, rather than just train and that the training was delivered live online. The fact it was 18 weeks also showed me how comprehensive and thorough the training was. I attended a discovery session to find out more, and then I had a 1 to 1 with Lauren to make sure the course was a good fit before I committed.
What specific challenge or uncertainty did you have before enrolling, and how has the training resolved that?
Sarah Cooper: I was a bit nervous, my menopausal brain would be able to absorb lots of new information on the course. It's been a while since I studied anything like this, but the course is designed to be really collaborative, so you can learn from each other and it's broken down into modules to make it easy to digest. And knowledge assessments at the end of each module help recap your learning. I also was a bit nervous about my coaching ability, but again, we had lots of guidance and training and plenty of opportunity to practise with other students. So we started to feel more confident with the content.
How has this diploma changed your confidence, career, or business results so far?
Sarah Cooper: When I started the course, I knew I wanted to do menopause as part of my business, but about halfway through, I knew I wanted to make it the main part. I suddenly realised that when people ask me what I do,
Sarah Cooper: and I said I was a menopause coach, but it felt so right and made me realise how passionate I was about it. Which feels pretty good.
What surprised you most about the experience?
Sarah Cooper: To be honest, the whole diploma exceeded my expectations. I was particularly impressed by the quality of the speakers from across the world that Lauren brought together, ranging from doctors, wellness professionals, and business experts. I knew I would get a lot from the course professionally, but I'd not expected to get as much from it, personally. The course is full of aha moments, and a great chance to reflect. Having the opportunity to be coached by Lauren and my fellow students from across the world and with a wide range of skills and experiences was really powerful and has helped me make some great lifestyle changes, which hopefully will really benefit my clients. It was also great to see the journey that my fellow students have been on and hear the quality of the reflections grow as the course went on.
Who would you recommend this diploma to, and why?
Sarah Cooper: Would I recommend this diploma? Absolutely. If you want to learn from some of the best global experts in the menopause and wellness space, including, of course, Lauren herself, I'd really recommend this diploma. It doesn't matter what your previous experience is, all you need is a genuine passion and desire to help women going through this transition.
