What therapists and coaches say


"I love your courses. They are jam-packed with valuable information that I know I will use with my clients. Thanks so much!"

---Joey Harman, LCPC, BCC

"If you are looking for the best place to earn CEU credits for your BCC coaching credential, Grow Training Institute is the place! I paid twice as much elsewhere for a program not nearly as effective or professional. I wish I had found Lyn Kelley and her materials earlier. Great material, great refresher, helpful new insights."

---Keith Kirkpatrick, BCC, Executive Coach, Blue Kollar Koaching

"In my years of training to be a coach, the best, most efficient and economical training I have found is yours, Lyn. That’s because your courses are designed by therapists for therapists. Your seminars are packed full of practical information that can be used to start a lucrative private coaching practice now. I have taken tons of coaching courses. Yours are the best."

---Stan Mann, DCSW, PCC, CPC, Detroit, MI

"Your courses are easy to digest, have a couple of key takeaways that make them worth the time and money, and aren’t filled with fluff. Thank you!"

--Jason M., MA, BCC

"My decision to move into coaching and now engaging in several new avenues has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. … Your coaching courses are both simple to understand and easy to apply, with a wealth of insightful and informational resources."

--Mary-Lew Barker, CPC, GPCCA Member

"I really, really enjoyed 7 Secrets. Wow!! I could not put it down and read it all yesterday and this morning. So much good information. Thank you so much. I truly appreciate you and your work to help coaches. Your story of why you started coaching is so true. Of all the choices BCC offers online you are definitely the best!! Thank you!!"

---Kendall Hawk, BCC

"I am so thrilled and honored to have become a Certified Coach through GROW! … I want to commend you on the work you’re doing, because you are a therapist and already have an understanding of what we’re doing. … The quality that you are giving to professionals is invaluable."

---Cathy Nelson, LMFT, CPC, Sonoma, CA
