ABOUT GROW TRAINING INSTITUTE, INC.

GROW Training Institute, Inc., is a national organization that grew out of GROW Publications which was founded in 1995 by Lyn Kelley, Ph.D., LMFT, CPC.

GROW Training Institute develops and offers continuing education through home study courses and seminars for mental health professionals.

CERTIFIFED PROFESSIONAL COACH CERTIFICATION is a natural evolution of the coach training programs developed and offered by GROW Training Institute. Course feedback data from GROW Training Institute workshops and GROW Training Institute market surveys consistently indicate a critical and growing need for a uniform national credential to identify and define coach/therapists. While there are a handful of other coach training programs throughout the U.S. open to anyone regardless of background or education, GROW Training Institute's CPC program has been formed specifically for licensed/registered/certified therapists.

GROW Training Institute currently has a staff of four employees and three faculty members. GROW Training Institute has been offering continuing education courses on “Success Motivation Coaching!” for the past three years, each year increasing the number of seminars held nationwide. As demand for coach training among therapists increases each year, GROW Training Institute increases the number of programs it offers. In 2002 GROW completed over 25 seminar tours throughout the U.S., and plans to offer international programs as well.
