Note that beyond the cost of the VIM Coach Certification Program, there is no financial investment or franchise fee.

VIM is compensated through revenue sharing after you start earning coaching fees.
Ready to See if the VIM Coach Certification Program is Right For You?
As great as our program is, it’s not for everyone. However, VIM's certification program may be for you if you. . .
Are passionate about coaching (even if you have no coaching experience)
Have substantial experience in business or other executive roles
Want to focus on executive, career, transition, or life coaching for high-powered professionals willing to pay premium coaching fees
This program is probably not for you if you are just starting out in your career and have limited “life” or work experience, or you are looking to coach less sophisticated clients for lower fees.
If you feel like VIM’s program might be a fit for you, the next step is to provide a bit of information and set up an exploratory call with me.
During the session, I will help you explore the opportunity, and both parties will leave the call with a clear understanding of whether it’s a fit or not. This is not a sales pitch. Instead, we’re going to have an authentic conversation that will be valuable whether we move forward, or part as friends.
I look forward to connecting with you.
