Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be a coach to join?
Not at all. This is deep personal development for anyone who wants to listen better, think more clearly, and relate more powerfully. Past participants include coaches, doctors, educators, therapists, parents, and thoughtful humans from all walks of life.
Is this only for people doing the Coach course?
No. While this course is a prerequisite for the Time to Think Coach path, it stands powerfully on its own. Many people join with no intention of certifying—they simply want to integrate this way of being into their lives and work.
Will sessions be recorded?
Yes. If you miss a session, a recording will be shared. That said, this is a live, experiential course — the real magic happens in real time. Live attendance is encouraged, and we’ll work with you to help you stay connected if life interrupts.
Can I upgrade to the Coach course later?
Absolutely. Many people complete this course and choose to go deeper. If you’ve attended all sessions, you can apply for the Coach certification path within 6 months.
What’s the Listening Benchmark?
It’s a self-assessment tool I created — the only one of its kind in the world — to help you track your growth as a listener over time. You’ll complete it before the course begins, and again at 3, 6, and 12 months. It’s a powerful way to reflect on your development and see the lasting impact of your learning.
Who is the scholarship rate for?
The scholarship rate is for anyone who would find the full fee a barrier — especially those from historically underrepresented or marginalised groups. This includes (but isn’t limited to) BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, neurodiverse, and differently abled folks, as well as those experiencing financial hardship. There’s no application or proof needed. I trust you to choose the tier that’s right for you.
What if I’m not sure I’ll be “good” at this?
There’s nothing to perform and nothing to prove. You don’t need to be a coach or a particular kind of person. All that’s required is curiosity and the willingness to practise a new way of being. You’ll be supported every step of the way.
