Coach
For Life is
a pioneer in developing accelerated adult learning
environments.
The
Inspired Learning Model™ was developed,
articulated and taught by the Peter J. Reding beginning in the mid 1990s.
The
Inspired Learning Model™ honors each
individual’s learning style and pace of learning. The
positive-reinforcement-only learning environment only
acknowledges the learner for the skills demonstrated or
knowledge understood that are consistent with the mastery
of the subject matter’s competencies. This learning model
has proven to be empowering and highly effective in
accelerating adult learning. Critique, comparison and
criticism are not used in this new learning environment.
Coach
For Life
co-founder Peter J. Reding donated his intellectual property of this proven, accelerated
learning model to the nonprofit (501c3), the Foundation
for Inspired Learning that they founded in 2003.

Inspired Learning™ is
used in every part of Coach For Life’s training
and certification course offerings.
The Benefits to the Learner
1. The
learner learns faster without the threat of criticism
2. The learner integrates more with the safety of always
being celebrated
-
the learner is excited to try a new process or skill
again
-
the learner remains in the natural state of “the joy of
learning”
-
the learner gets the reinforcement of what they have
done ‘right’ (that which is consistent with the mastery
of the subject matter’s competencies)
3. The
learner benefits from the 100% positive peer group
participation
-
Brought back to the human spirit’s natural response of
witnessing another’s learning process – to celebrate!
-
Intentionally looking for and listening for what the other
learners in the group did ‘right’ (consistent with the
competencies of mastery) further reinforces mastery in and
for the observer. “Oh, that’s what that looks like (sounds
like).”
-
Acknowledging what was ‘right’ accelerates integration of
new material, skills and approaches for each learner. “I
can do that, let me try next.”
Integrative Adult Learning
Coach For Life employs
all learning modalities: visual, auditory and kinesthetic.
This is accomplished by providing:
-
A
detailed 200+ page workbook, for the logical (left brain)
learning center.
-
Experiential and meditative exercises, for the intuitive
(right brain) learning center, that allow the student to
feel and experience the new teachings.
-
Authentic, real demonstrations and modeling of coaching
skills and processes for the students to see and hear for
themselves the different methodologies that are most
effective. (No artificial “role playing” exercises are
used.)
-
Interactive group exercises concentrating on the core
coaching competencies of coaching. This creates a
reservoir of experiential or “in-your-bones” learning.
-
An
opportunity to coach and be coached allowing students to
practice their skills. Also an opportunity to observe and
be observed while coaching allows the student to receive
timely and supportive feedback while deepening their
learning and confidence.
-
Frequent writing and reflection exercises for the student
to deepen their learning and invite personalized
integration.
-
An
interactive, audio-visual, live webinar and/or
teleconferencing for follow up training.
Coach
For Life follows
up each multi-day, in-person seminar with an interactive,
audio-visual, live webinar that is provided via a
web-based browser service that can be accessed for free
from your computer’s internet browser anywhere in the
world. This allows people in every part of the world to
receive several weeks of ongoing training and support at
their home or office. This group training via a free
webinar access is the key for students to actually
integrate the learning into their everyday life and work.
Coach For Life is
the only ICF Accredited coach training and certification
school that offers the elegantly simple and
spiritually-based Fulfillment
Coaching Model™.
