HLC, established in 1993, is the oldest Transformational Life Coaching School in North America. It achieved its #1 status by developing proven success systems that teach you how to facilitate clinically validated Coaching Exercises designed to create lasting change.

Some of HLC’s life-altering exercises are supported by research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), which highlights methods proven to foster meaningful change. Our HuMethod™ Certified Coaches use a wide range of these clinically validated techniques, including over 150 customized S.elf-M.astery A.ssignments (SMAs), to tailor sessions to each client’s needs.

Master Coach Hu incorporated this methodology over two decades ago after learning that psychologists, as reported in JAMA, found that written assignments significantly accelerated clients' progress in achieving their psycho-spiritual goals. This further validates why HLC’s HuMethod™ exercises are so effective in creating the permanent behavioral changes needed for personal growth.

You don’t need to be a psychotherapist, MD, or PhD to become a HuMethod™ Coach, though many of our graduates are. As an HLC student, you’ll learn how to facilitate emotional, psychological, and spiritual Maieutic Coaching Exercises that are clinically proven to work for everyone who follows them—yourself included.

HLC’s exercises aren’t mysterious or complex; they work just like physical training methods such as strength training or yoga. For example, the Maieutic Coaching Method is based on the belief that each person already holds the spiritual wisdom to solve their own issues. Your role is to guide clients through self-discovery, helping them access their inner truth without offering advice or solving their problems for them.

You’ll be equipped with a collection of clinically tested Maieutic questions, tailored to help your clients transcend their unique challenges. By asking the right questions, rather than judging or analyzing, you’ll empower your clients to resolve their issues in a safe, centered, and professional way.

HLC’s certification courses equip you with the tools to be an impactful, effective coach while also providing essential marketing support to grow your practice. Each course includes a personalized marketing consultation with an experienced HLC staff member, scheduled at your convenience, to help you develop a strategy that suits your goals.

Additional Marketing Support
HLC offers a comprehensive business and marketing manual, How to Build & Market a Successful Coaching Practice on a Shoestring Budget, designed to teach you professional marketing techniques even with limited resources. You’ll learn practical, real-world strategies to attract clients and grow a sustainable coaching practice.

Plus, HLC’s proven income-building methods, including detailed steps on creating multiple streams of revenue and expanding your practice, ensure you have the tools you need to succeed—without the guesswork.

HLC’s HuMethod™ Transformational Life Coaching Certification Courses, is the only curriculum in the industry that includes Proprietary, Trademarked Diagnostic Testing Exercises.

You will use HLC’s Diagnostic Testing Exercises to help: 

• Your clients measure how fast they are achieving their self-growth goals.
• Your clients clearly define what they want to dis-create and manifest.
• You determine what are the best HLC exercises to achieve their self-growth goals, using the library of HuMethod™ exercises and SMA assignments contained in your certification training manual.

These factors will help you professionally determine what your client’s specific needs are, so they can accomplish their self-help goals as quickly as possible. 

The HuMethod™ Dis-Creation Coaching Exercises are the “missing link” in the Conscious Creation Process. Dis-Creation means to "stop creating," and these exercises help you and your clients clear the subconscious mind of deeply ingrained, negatively programmed beliefs that have been sabotaging personal growth.

Psychologists estimate that by age 40, a person will have repeated 584 million negative thoughts, reinforcing harmful beliefs deep within the subconscious. Affirmations alone can’t counteract this level of negative programming, which is why they often fall short.

As a HuMethod™ student, you’ll learn Dis-Creation Exercises to effectively "clean the slate" of these limiting beliefs, allowing your clients to achieve the goals they hired you to help manifest. These exercises are crucial because before building a new reality, clients need to clear the negative beliefs that hold them back. You’ll practice these transformative techniques until you’re confident in using them to create lasting change for your clients.

Many practitioners mistakenly believe that positive affirmations alone can overcome years of negative conditioning. However, without first removing the old, dysfunctional programming, no amount of positive input will fully take hold. Dis-Creation Exercises are essential for building a successful, referral-based practice that creates real, lasting results.

HLC’s “See One, Do One, Teach One” training method is modeled after Cornell University’s Medical School approach. This 3-step process—where students "See" a skilled practitioner demonstrate a technique, "Do" the exercise themselves, and "Teach" it to others—has been proven as the most effective way to train professionals.

As an independent study student, you’ll still benefit from the "Do One" and "Teach One" components. You’ll apply the HuMethod™ exercises to your own self-growth, then practice coaching them with others to solidify your learning. If you want to experience the "See One" portion, you can add a One-on-One Educational Support package to receive personalized guidance and observation from an HLC instructor.

With this approach, you’ll master the clinically proven HuMethod™ techniques at your own pace, while still receiving the support you need to confidently facilitate life-altering exercises.
