Introduction
Embarking on the Wayfinder Coaching Certification is an adventure of both personal and professional growth. As you step into this transformative journey, we understand the mix of excitement and uncertainty that arises. WxW’s Wayfinders Survival Guide is your personal map through the challenging yet rewarding terrain of coaching certification. This guide is not a handbook (MBI will provide that), but rather a QuickStart companion to streamline your understanding and preparation. By detailing what to expect, how to prepare, and how to engage with the course materials and community, this guide ensures a solid start.
Overview of the Guide
1. The Classes
See the curriculum and its sections at-a-glance. You’ll see what to expect from each type of class as well as the required and WxW’s supplemental reading for each stage. We also give you some tips on preparing for class.
2. The Platform
Visualizes the MBI Learning Site, which makes it easier to understand where to go to get information. It also suggests decisions for you to consider.
3. The Motion
Tackle the emotions that inevitably come when 1) doing something new and 2) meeting a new group of people. Understand the Stages of Team Development—Forming, Storming, Norming, and Performing—and manage expectations as your cohort finds its stride.
4. The Mindset
Prepare your social and essential selves (you’ll find out what that means). Emphasizing resilience, open-mindedness, and self-care, this section is designed to fortify your mental and emotional toolkit, ensuring you are as prepared internally as you are externally.
Conclusion and Invitation
As you navigate through the Wayfinder Certification, remember that you are not alone. We at WxW are here to support in any way we can and hope the guide is helpful. For more personalized help, we're offering a free coaching session to help you find your way.
