DEI Integration

A Coaching Model Grounded in Equity and Inclusion

At the University for Life Coach Training, DEI is a central piece of our curriculum. We teach our students a DEI-focused coaching model—The Five C’s—developed in collaboration with DEI experts. 

CONTEXT

Understand the full context surrounding your client’s situation so you can help them get the results they want.

CLARITY

Remove assumptions and biases by deeply understanding where your client is now, where they want their life to go, and the mindset and circumstances they’re working with.

CONSIDERATION

Use the clarity and context you’ve gained to offer a relevant and inclusive tool, practice, or suggestion.

COMMITMENT

Help your client confidently commit to a next step they feel good about taking.

CELEBRATE

Recognize and honour your client’s progress - whether it’s a shift in awareness, trying something new, or reaching a goal.

The Five C’s Framework:

DISRUPTING THE COACHING INDUSTRY

Choosing to become a Certified Master Life Coach with ULCT demonstrates your unwavering commitment to becoming a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive coach.

Most Life Coach and Master Life Coach certification programs do not deeply address topics like identity, oppression, trauma, inclusive language or practice.

WE DO.

Our world-class faculty includes leaders, experts, noted psychologists, physicians, and bestselling authors with the strongest commitment to and understanding of DEI.

“I knew I had the potential to help others show up for themselves and give themselves care BUT I need someone who could help me fulfill my own potential to release it to the world. 

I knew I could trust Susan with not silencing me or trying to change me and also offer me the best team of dynamic feminist teachers I needed.”

Real Stories from Real Coaches

Our Grads Are Changing Lives

“If you’re looking for a robust curriculum, diverse faculty and wealth of resources designed by an expert in the field, you’re in the right place.

I’ve learned so much in a short time, even after pursuing 4 other coaching certifications. I know that everything Susan puts out is top-notch and her staff does not dissapoint either!"

Marianne Talkovski

“The ULCT training is robust and through.

They break it down so it’s not too overwhelming and give you plenty of opportunities to discuss the content and ask questions. The faculty that they have brought together is something I have NEVER seen in any other coach training before! It’s diverse and intelligent, delivering their amazing knowledge to us. ULCT is the ONLY Coach training to consider in my book!"
