Speaker: Torild Stokes, Menopause Coach & workplace consultant , Torild Stokes
Torild Stokes: I was really feeling like I, lacked a framework and although I was already coaching, I was an accredited coach, I really did want something more tangible to offer to those going through peri and menopause.
What made you choose this menopause coaching diploma instead of other options?
Torild Stokes: I chose Lauren's programme because of a few different reasons that were important to me. Firstly, it was CPD accredited, and that was really important for me as an existing coach to have that continued accredited learning to add to my existing. Accreditations. Then, secondly, I also knew that she offered The Menopause Plan this a very tangible framework which I had heard about and I really wanted to be able to offer that to my own clients. And then thirdly, I'd followed Lauren for a few years and I knew that I really liked and respected her, and I could see that she was really well connected with high calibre people within the menopause sphere and world and then knew she would have really good guests um lecturers on the course as well.
What specific challenge or uncertainty did you have before enrolling, and how has the training resolved that?
Torild Stokes: I was really feeling like I, uh, lacked a framework and although I was already coaching, I was an accredited coach, I really did want something more tangible to offer to those going through peri and menopause. So that's then. was resolved by learning how to teach and take the client through the seven week Menopause Plan. Super, super, uh, framework to to offer to the clients. And I've also tried it myself, and I know it works.
How has this diploma changed your confidence, career, or business results so far?
Torild Stokes: Being on this course has really changed how I feel in my confidence levels around talking about the menopause because of all the excellent. Excellent lessons we had and the teachers that were part of the course, including menopause specialists and and others also how to run a business as a menopause coach. So for me I noticed that with a diploma I have had more confidence to go out and talk about myself and to connect with people, with companies and so as a result my business is now. Is now taking uh the next level and I'm really excited for a busy autumn ahead with with corporate and individuals as well.
What surprised you most about the experience?
Torild Stokes: Personally, what surprised me the most was the impact of going through The Menopause Plan, not just for myself, but also for my um trial clients. So I worked with 4 trial clients going through The Menopause Plan, the 7 week plan, and the impacts with those small incremental changes week by week were really, really amazing, and I feel really excited about being able to offer this to others as well now.
Who would you recommend this diploma to, and why?
Torild Stokes: I would say anyone who feels passionate about making a difference for individuals or in corporate, perhaps you're a coach already, perhaps you have been through perimenopause or going through and you're feeling like there's a lack of support in your company or other companies you've heard about, then I'd really recommend anyone really to take this course who have a passion to help others.
