Mykala Steadman
Freelance Writer and Career Consultant

"Compassionate Leaders Circle brought together the most incredible group of human beings and professionals. I left with greater confidence in my skills and grew in ways I hadn't before. It was life-changing. What I learned in Train Lab made me a better coach and person."

Darrell Jones
Coach, Minister, Spiritual Leader and Meditation Facilitator 

“I knew I needed a tune up on my own coaching but I wasn’t sure I could commit to daytime courses. The fact that I could watch missed courses was a big selling point for me.

The Donnellan Method is a succinct and holistic way of coaching. It gave me momentum to carry my own coaching to the next level."

Aurelia Chaudagne
Life/Career Coach in Paris, France

"Laurel creates a warm and safe atmosphere in the group. Overall, I had a great experience: I felt inspired, acquired new tools, and practiced new skills I used to develop both professionally and personally.”

 

Martel Catalano
Co-Founder of the non-profit organization Beyond My Battle

“This program shines a bright light on what it means to educate yoga teachers on the things that are often overlooked during a yoga teacher training. This was a great resource to me along my journey of defining and refining my personal and professional goals.”
