ICF Program

I wanted to start coaching foreigners. The results I achieved:

– I’ve started implementing the 5 Prism method in my work and life
– set up English instagram account so that I can be a Life&Career coach for foreigners;
– set the dates for the first discovery-sessions with a client from Canada and another one from Germany;
– I’ve realized that I can and should be coaching in English and even use some of these techniques during my lessons with students
– during one of the practical classes I’ve started planning my very first conference for those who study foreign languages
– I’ve sent 7 applications for one of the biggest conferences in Russian ELT world on different mixed topics of coaching+ESL

There are many more results, but these are the most important ones.

My awareness, the style of coaching and plans for the future – all this has changed after the course.
Most of all I loved our workshops with Anastasia Borisova. And the thing is that this course allows students to practice in English, just by being in this environment – it’s amazing!

I’ll continue implementing the skills I got in my work and life on a daily basis. If the Universe makes it happen, I’ll go to the second module this year and continue mastering my skills in this fantastic field.

I just wanna say BIG THANK YOU! for the course, the feedback from our instructors and all the participants of this program. It was a pleasure being a part of something new and definitely great! Many thanks!!

I got a clear understanding of what coaching is about, realized that this is something I want to go further with in my career. I started to conduct coaching sessions. I am applying my new outlook to my everyday life with my family, friends and coworkers and to my current work with students as well. It opens up new opportunities, improves relationships and enriches experiences.

Online mode allows you to join the course from any point on the planet. The schedule for practical classes is very flexible, so that students can pick a time slot that works for them specifically despite different time zones. All materials are available on the course platform after class.

I am planning to use the skills I got to take a new path in my career as a coach. It opens up new horizons where only the sky’s the limit.

I really appreciate that the course was in English. As an immigrant in the US I used this chance to enhance my vocabulary .

In the very beginning I was looking for some interesting course to improve my English. Originally I was an English teacher and I know how important it is to constantly develop. And then the first module «Act like a coach» emerged. I didn’t even know for sure what coaching was at that moment. But since the very first classes I found myself in the very new fascinating world of coaching. And my request is already professional. I am here to practice, to go deeper into coaching.
During the course I have conducted a number of coaching sessions and now I feel I am ready to open up to the world as a new coach. Moreover there is a number of skills which are really helpful in my everyday life with my kids, with my students, family, etc.
As a result I am speaking out loud that I am learning to be a coach.

I gained much higher confidence in my ability to be neutral and see the feelings behind the words. I became much more aware of other people’s feelings, emotions, and minor changes in the speech which helped me to increase empathy. I especially liked in this course the fact that there is a lot of practice even during the lectures we have an opportunity to talk and discuss. How will I use the skills acquired in the future? I am practicing coaching and thinking about having international clients as well. But also I use these skills in my job(s), since it gives me an opportunity to listen more attentively and ask deeper questions and progress quicker.

My main goal was to launch my coaching practice in English + see the way 5PRISM academy sees coaching. I achieved both! horizons expansion! I saw much more perspectives for my coaching practice development. I especially liked Master-classes with triads and feedback. And the second part of tuesday classes with demo-discussions. Im starting to implement 8D model, hamburger etc in my english practice from today on. thanks for everything! Was amazing journey!

Originally I wanted to explore what coaching is. During the course I started formulating questions that get me to a desired point sooner. I improved planning and implementing goals skills. It was very valuable course trainers sharing their experiences. And now I am making a career out of coaching.

Within this course I wanted to just touch coaching in English, warm up my English, repeat the basics, update my vocabulary, check my readiness to coach in English if it occurs. All the stated goals are achieved. I should highly evaluate the approach and the way the courses of the Academy are done, both easy to understand and apply. I liked practical part after each lecture. I think it would be great if the members and tutors of the practical parts could be mixed every time. It would better influence the group dynamics, as well as make closer the course students during live sessions. So now I feel ready to hold the coaching sessions both in Russian and English as the course helped to reveal my strong features and understanding that language is important but living in the process is a way to see the client and follow his needs. I finished the course with gratitude and best withes to the Academy.

I wanted To have the experience in English. I fulfilled my goal, got better confidence. I especially liked the work in groups after each lesson, and I will use the skills gained as a basis of my practice.

I wanted to become a coach and start having sessions with real clients. As a result I managed to become a coach, learn about active listening and after doing many sessions for free (practice) I managed to keep one of them and turn her into a client. After the course I think better about my actions, I actively listen to other people and I try to engage my slow thinking system more often. I especially liked the instructors and the practices on saturday. Now I am already developing my instagram account to find more clients and these skills are proving to be really useful in my day to day

My goal was to learn instruments to implement into my teaching practice in order to help my students find more energy for lessons. During the course I had a very inspiring session with my student about her goal so that she even requested to continue this conversation next lesson. After the course when I feel uncomfortable or close to a conflict situation I try to imagine what a fly on the window would see here. It helps to stay neutral. I especially liked very clear structure of the course: lecture – demo – practice. Now I will have an intro session with my new clients or a session before a new course.

A deep, practical course. Now there is an understanding of how to establish an agreement, demonstrate all competencies, expand and deepen sessions. I am grateful to the instructors and curators for the supportive environment and knowledge. I got more than I expected. I continue to study. I am sure that this is just the beginning of my journey, I will be successful together with 5 Prism. Yuri and Olga, special thanks to you for your warmth and energy.

An unrealistic combination of practical benefits, scientific validity, depth and energy! That unique case when everything responds: how the learning process is organized and its duration, what goals are set for training, and how the path to them is built, how carefully and deeply the practice takes place. I thank the 5 Prism team for every detail of this course, for professionalism, tact, care and quality!

I am delighted with the program International Level Coaching! I advised all my colleagues to study with you! Materials, presentation, depth of knowledge are impressive, and also the atmosphere. 5 Prism has such a developing and supportive environment that there is no doubt about the successful realization of oneself in the coaching profession.Huge thanks to the whole team!

I am very grateful to the creators and presenters of the course for the training program, support, responsible approach and care for me as a client and student. The course turned my life around, gave me entry into a new profession, confidence and intention. Thank you sincerely.

I am writing this review with great gratitude and admiration for a thorough, professional, deeply interested in students approach! I studied at another coaching school and went to 5 Prism rather to get a little deeper into the mechanics of coaching. I absolutely did not expect that I would work so much, systematically, deeply on the basic coaching tools.

I completely changed my idea of coaching, about the interaction of the coach and the client, about the results and the process of work! From a vague belief in magic to a systematic approach based on the fundamentals of psychophysiology! Thank you for the program and its brilliant organization, for the incredible coaching community and the work of the assistants! You are not just a coaching school, you are a whole system! I am moving on with you with joy and anticipation! Thanks to you, I feel confident in myself and feel the desire to work in a coaching format!

The course opened up a new field of knowledge for me, which can be used in my life and in any professional activity. The principles of coaching about neutrality, non-directivity and partnership began to be used in life. Non-directivity is a manifestation of trust. Neutrality is the ability to look at the actions and thoughts of other people from the point of view of the diversity of their capabilities. Partnership: trust + neutrality.

Introducing them into my life, I felt that it became easier for me to communicate with people. It is much more interesting to observe, track your emotions, analyze them. I think I’ve grown up, and I like it.

I am delighted both with the program and with the way how professionally and competently the space around the program is built. From the first webinar, we were given a working tool that allowed each of us to immediately try on the role of a coach and form our own view of the profession. Gradually, this tool acquired new features and facets, turning into a whole system of knowledge that a coach could rely on in his work. And the experience that we received together with the delicate and careful feedback from the curators turned out to be truly invaluable.

I sincerely thank Olga, Yuri and Yulia for the webinars with their lively and powerful energy. And, of course, I thank all the curators of the course who provided comprehensive support throughout the course, highlighting our strengths and growth areas. Special thanks for the opportunities provided by the 5 Prism Alumni Club. It’s precious!

I am absolutely delighted with the training! I believed that I would be able to change my life! Thank you for the way the training is built, for the energy, lively communication, openness, sincerity, participation! For the most important knowledge, both for personal and professional life! Practical, applied, real knowledge, tested by experience! Every lesson is a new insight for me! I am completing the first module with a great sense of gratitude and anticipation for the second one!

At the last lecture, I burst into tears, that’s the somatic response. In addition to the most interesting knowledge, I got the experience of the amazing work of the 5 Prism Academy team, this is the standard of the team work. Each of the instructors charges with different emotions, and one gets almost a full range of emotions and knowledge! Thanks to everyone who works on this course.

Thank you for the deep course. Information, supporting environment, knowledge, and practice are presented in an accessible, understandable way. All this was not just useful, but also very interesting, curious. Well, right on top. There is an understanding of how to work as a coach. I have deep knowledge of how to improve my life and the lives of my future clients at the session. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

It’s a deep program. I liked everything being clear, precise timing, distinct information, without wasting time. And the practice is organized in the most capacious and developing way possible! I enjoyed it. I’m waiting for the beginning of part 2.

I got a lot more than I wanted. After completing the program «Act Like a Coach», I couldn’t stop and signed up for the program «Think Like a Coach». It changed me, made me believe in the power of coaching. The training takes place in a convenient mode, fantastic instructors. I have found like-minded people with whom I communicate with great pleasure. It’s become a part of my life. Now I am studying at the program «Guidance Toward ACC» and I aim to connect the future with coaching.
