What Is the Life Coach School Practicum?

The Life Coach School Practicum is a multi-day immersive experience designed to help life coaches hone their craft, deepen their mindset work, and connect with a community of like-minded individuals. It’s where aspiring and seasoned coaches alike come together to practice, learn, and grow in an incredibly supportive environment.

Why I Decided to Attend

For years, I’d been following the teachings of the Life Coach School. I’d completed their “Coach Tools” course, passed the required exam, and had been implementing these concepts in my own business. But attending the practicum felt like the next level—an opportunity to immerse myself fully and push beyond my comfort zone.

As someone who always aims to 10x my growth, both personally and professionally, this practicum seemed like the perfect catalyst to elevate my mindset and business. Little did I know, it would exceed every expectation.


Overcoming a Rocky Start: A Delayed Flight and Stormy Skies

Sometimes, the universe likes to throw a little chaos into the mix before a breakthrough, right? My journey to the practicum didn’t exactly start smoothly. A massive storm delayed my flight by four hours, leaving me stressed and worried that I wouldn’t make it to the event on time.

The Lessons Behind the Chaos

While it was frustrating in the moment, I later realized that this rocky start was a small preview of what the practicum would teach me: learning to surrender to the unexpected and trust that everything is working out as it should. It was the first of many mindset shifts I would experience over the course of the event.


A Safe Space for Vulnerability and Growth

Setting the Tone: Vulnerability in Action

On the first day of the practicum, something extraordinary happened. One of my fellow coaches, Lindy, volunteered to do a live coaching session in front of the entire group. She opened up about her fears and challenges, and her vulnerability created a ripple effect in the room.

It was like a collective exhale. Watching her bravery gave the rest of us permission to let our guard down, and suddenly, the practicum became a space where true transformation could happen.

How Vulnerability Sparked My Own Breakthrough

Witnessing Lindy’s courage reminded me that vulnerability isn’t a weakness—it’s a superpower. It’s what allows us to connect with others and, more importantly, with ourselves. This realization would become a cornerstone of my practicum experience, guiding me as I set new goals and leaned into my own growth.


The Mindset Shift That Changed Everything

Identifying the Root of My Limiting Beliefs

During one of the coaching exercises, I was paired with another coach to explore a specific challenge I wanted to overcome. As we dug deeper, I uncovered a limiting belief that had been holding me back: the fear that I wasn’t capable of achieving massive success.

Rewriting the Narrative

Through powerful questioning and coaching, I was able to see this belief for what it truly was: a story I’d been telling myself, not a fact. I began to rewrite the narrative, replacing self-doubt with possibility. This was the mindset shift that opened the door to bigger dreams, including my $1M goal.


Setting My $1M Goal: Dreaming Bigger Than Ever

The Power of Bold Goals

One of the practicum’s exercises was to set a bold, audacious goal that scared and excited us in equal measure. For me, that goal was clear: to make $1 million in my 40th year.

At first, this number felt impossibly out of reach. But as I explored the mindset work we’d been practicing, I realized that the only thing standing between me and that goal was my own belief system.

Why This Goal Matters

Setting this goal wasn’t just about the money. It was about stepping into my full potential, creating a life of abundance, and showing others what’s possible when you dare to dream big. It became a symbol of everything I want to achieve in my superbloom year.


Key Takeaways from Day 1 of the Practicum

1. Mindset Is Everything

If there’s one lesson I took away from the first day, it’s that mindset truly is the foundation of all success. The way we think shapes the way we act, which in turn determines our results.

2. Vulnerability Creates Connection

Lindy’s bravery showed me that when we allow ourselves to be seen—flaws and all—we create deeper connections and open ourselves up to growth.

3. Trust the Process

From stormy flights to intense coaching exercises, this experience reminded me to trust that everything is happening for a reason, even when it doesn’t go as planned.


What’s Next: Part 2 of My Practicum Journey

This is just the beginning of my practicum story. In Part 2, I’ll dive deeper into the breakthroughs and lessons that came later in the event. From refining my coaching skills to building lifelong connections, there’s so much more to share about how this practicum shaped my superbloom year.

Stay tuned for Part 2, where I’ll reveal the next steps in my journey and how I’m using these lessons to grow my business and inspire others.


Final Thoughts

Attending the Life Coach School Practicum was one of the most transformative experiences of my life. The mindset shift I experienced on Day 1 has already had a ripple effect, not just in my business but in the way I approach every aspect of my life.

If you’re a coach or entrepreneur looking to elevate your mindset and achieve big goals, I can’t recommend this experience enough. It’s proof that when you invest in yourself, the possibilities are truly limitless.
