A Message from Your Master Coach Academy Trainers
Coach Academy isn’t just another program, it’s a journey where coaches go from feeling uncertain and hesitant to becoming confident and empowered.
It’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance to gain real-world experience while being personally supported behind the scenes of your new practice.
And when you have this kind of personal support and accountability, you no longer hide out or wait for “someday”. Instead, you step out into the world as the coach you’re meant to be.
Love, Health and Success,
Suzanne Monroe

Frequently Asked Questions
While circumstances can always change, we do not plan to offer MCA again in 2021. Because this is a 6 month program with a high level of personal support and training, including a dedicated group experience, it is not open for ongoing enrollment.
If you know you want to become a Certified Master Coach/Virtual Coach, we highly encourage you to apply now.
There will be two live training calls per month that will be at set times and additional live coaching labs for observing, practicing and evaluating that you can choose to schedule when they work best for you.
All training will be recorded and you can watch the replays when it works best for you. There are many opportunities for ongoing personal support so your questions will be answered no matter what! Please see the next question for further details. . .
There are two pillars of advanced learning during MCA – Coach Mastery and the Virtual Business Accelerator. In addition, there is a live application component where you will observe, practice and demonstrate your coaching skills. In order to receive your dual certification and physical certificates, you will need to complete the following:
- 2 Live Wellness Coaching Labs where you will observe a Master Coach – Choose your time based on your schedule
- 2 Live Wellness Coach Labs where you will coach real people in a group setting and receive personal feedback – Choose your time based on your schedule
- 1 Final Coach Demo where you will lead your own group wellness coaching lab – Choose your time based on your schedule
- Six one-on-one coaching sessions where you will practice advanced coaching skills with a peer coach or client – Choose your time based on your schedule
- 12 Training Calls – Attend live or watch the recording
- Classroom completion of manuals including Video Training Lessons, Lessons, Guides, Blueprint and Reading – Choose your own schedule
Ideal candidates for MCA will have taken action steps outlined during Holistic Wellness Coach Certification. That does not mean you have done everything or have it all figured out, but that you have started coaching and getting your business started. You’ve felt excited to get started along the way and have been willing to try things out. Your niche may have changed, but you have attempted to define your niche. Your signature system may have changed, but you have tried creating your first signature system.
For the graduate who feels he or she has not taken action during and after HWC due to fear, procrastination, time or other obstacles, you may want to consider revisiting your HWC Classroom first. We will spend a little time reviewing concepts from HWC, but we are building upon them with new, advanced training.
MCA may be just right for you. Each master-coaching-in-training will likely have different levels of experience and success, but what you will have in common is that you are on your way to creating more success. There are three areas of learning that are a part of MCA that you will add to your skill set:
- Coach Mastery includes Advanced Coach Training -in-depth, high level, NEW tools that build upon CORE. This involves a variety of advanced tools including learning how to work with the Inner Critic, the Inner Child, your Inner Voice, advanced techniques to breakthrough procrastination, indecision, fear, and other obstacles clients face
- Coach Mastery also includes real application and learning how to coach in a group setting. Participants will learn how to lead our Wellness Coach Labs and will be coaching real people with wellness challenges as part of their Master Coach Certification.
- The Virtual Business Accelerator will teach how to build upon your IAWP foundation and take your practice virtual with a focus on attracting clients through a proven social media strategy that includes done for you content. The highlight here is that Suzanne will be going social in the role of a coach profile (rather than just IAWP) as part of the training to model what to do and participants can follow along with her.
There are plenty of free trainings online that focus on one fix or another. It has been our experience that most trainings in the online space, whether free or paid, tend to focus on one strategy or tactic that could support you. Having been in the online business field ourselves well before it was on trend, we’ve also seen a lot of crazy things out there. We caution you from “magic bullet” style programs that promise you that you will solve all of your marketing challenges in 30 days or less and instead leave you in overwhelm or running down a rabbit hole. You may find something that works for you, but being able to build upon the foundation you have already created using the IAWP system can be helpful rather than reinventing the wheel and starting from scratch.
At the IAWP, we believe it takes having a strong foundation and not changing what you’re doing every few months because some other expert has told you to. And it also takes being willing to stick to a proven system (from someone who has actually done it rather than just saying they’ve done it.) Our motto “Systems + Support = Success” is something we hang our hat on and is what Master Coach Academy is built upon.
It’s time to pause and consider your own personal situation to determine if taking on tuition is right for you at this time. If you are interested in applying, you can certainly take the first step of filling out your application and will have time to consider tuition options.
If you haven’t earned any income yet, consider why that might be. There has been a lot going on in the last year and certainly many people have had extra commitments. If it’s more circumstantial but you are ready to keep moving forward and everything you have learned about MCA resonates, then you should apply. You will likely grow your business faster with support and community.
If your financial situation is very tight, you may want to consider waiting to apply at another time. You don’t want to have to be worrying while you are focusing on new learning.
Time is our greatest commodity, that’s for sure. We get it. That’s why we’ve designed MCA to be flexible. You can participate from anywhere, anytime and on-the-go. If you can’t attend live, you can listen to the replays when you are able to and still get your questions answered each week. We estimate that you will want to spend at least 2 hours per week on your training, though some weeks you could spend more or less depending on your schedule. Consider where you could open up a little bit more time. Could you get up an hour earlier one time per week and stay up an hour later one time per week? Could you carve out morning on a Saturday once a month? If you’re “too busy”, it’s likely that there are some things you may need to clear off your plate to be able to focus on your coaching business. Good news, during MCA we’ll be helping you with Purposeful Productivity and making the most of your time and energy!
