Welcome, this page contains information about Hart life Coaching's diploma in life coaching which includes my new module soul purpose coaching. Hart Life Coaching has been offering life coach training programs since 1999.

Life coaching is not just a job - it is a way to transform your own life while assisting others. The world is changing and life coaches are needed now more than ever before. If you feel a calling to become a life coach I suggest you read my book Love the Life You Live to make sure that my way of working is right for you. You can download a sample of this book from my free downloads page.

The way I work with values is unique and very practical. It's very easy to read a book or attend a course which tells you what you should do, but very few people demonstrate how to do it, we do. My work is very much in alignment with the law of attraction and the works of Neale Donald Walsch, Wayne Dyer and Louise Hay.

Although the purpose of the life coach training course is to train you to assist others you cannot help but benefit as you apply these principles to your own life.

I don't aim to be the biggest life coach training school, my intention is to train really good coaches who are able go on and help others, therefore I am always available to my students and graduates to assist them with any coaching matters. I personally conduct all training.

DIPLOMA IN LIFE COACHING

Our life coach training program is presented either by teleconferencing or teleconferencing and a 5 day retreat.

Teleconference course. This means that you can live anywhere, travel for work and even go on holidays and still attend the course. All you do is simply call into a central number once a week which connects you to the course. This course is conducted over 20 weeks, 1 night a week.

Teleconfence sessions/residential retreat held at Heartland Retreat on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland. There are 8 teleconference sessions which cover the Ten Step process which students need to know before attending face-to-face training. The residential retreat is held over 5 days and 4 nights. The residential program costs slightly more to cover accommodation and all meals.

For more information on the retreat click here

We take a maximum of 9 students only on the retreat, so please book early.

Heartland is such a peaceful place with amazing energy. Although students will be learning during this time there will still be time for relaxation. You can visit Heartland's website to see for yourself.

I am available to all students by phone or email during and after training to answer questions about training or coaching matters, there is no additional charge for this.

I also discount my coaching fee by 40% for students who would like to work on their personal goals or be mentored by me during their first 12 months.

Our training program

Our training program is based upon a Ten Step process which is covered in my book Love The Life You Live. These steps provide the foundation for personal happiness and are firmly routed in values. While our course can be called spiritual, we do not promote any religion or single belief system. The course is very practical.

The course also incorporates my new work which takes some of the steps to deeper levels. This is about each person’s personal journey, it's about understanding our individual soul purpose. Life provides us with a map and when we understand how to interpret this map then we are able to end struggle and attain a deeper level of peace and happiness.

Course materials include workbooks, books, life coach training manual and values card sets. Our life coach training manual includes a segment on how to market your business. We do not devote a lot of time to this during the course as I believe that making sure that your thoughts, words and actions support your goal is a far more important choice for attracting clients than traditional marketing skills.

How teleconferencing works

Although I am highly visual I love teaching via teleconferencing because it offers comfort and flexibility. You can relax at home, be on holidays or away for work and still attend the course. Even if you cannot attend some weeks you don’t have to miss out as you can get a recording of the session.

When you train by teleconferencing you phone into a call centre, usually for the cost of a local call, this applies for Australian and New Zealand students, if calling from other countries you pay the call cost to Sydney, if you use a phone card this cost is minimal.

All calls are connected via a bridge and everyone can hear and speak to each other. It’s natural if you haven’t experienced teleconferencing before to feel a little wary. I have been training in this way since 1999, it works so well and makes learning so easy.

Most sessions last an hour and at the end of that time students can exit, or stay on and ask questions. All sessions are interactive. At the end of each session you are given homework to do during the week.

If you are unable to attend any session we can record it for you to listen to later. There is an additional cost of $20 per recording for this.

Ongoing support

Support is always available to students and graduates during business hours if they need help with any aspect of the course or a coaching matter.

We also encourage students to meet with each other regularly to support each other. We also give out contact details to all students so they can contact one another. Many long-lasting friendships have been established between coaches.

We also have occasional gatherings so that we can meet up and support each other.

We are in the process of setting up a web site for our coaches and coaches can list on this for $50 a year.

There are also local chapters of the two life coaching associations that provide coaches with opportunities to meet other coaches.

Workshops/Courses

Our training covers individual coaching, we do not conduct training for courses or workshops. However, students who wish to conduct our courses and workshops can purchase facilitator kits from us.

These kits include 8 books for resale (resale value $412), values card sets, facilitator manuals for workshop and course and handouts. There are 2 kits available each costing $365. One kit relates to Love Your Money, and the other to Love the Life You Live. Anne is happy to have a session with any coach purchasing a kit to clarify any content matters. There is no additional charge for this.

Cost

Teleconference course $2690. Or, $295 per month for 10 months ($2950) on a credit card.

Teleconference course plus residential retreat full fee $3280. Or, $295 a month x 12 months on a credit card ($3540).

If you are paying on the instalment plan we must have at least 3 payments (within the first 2 months) to cover the costs of the retreat.

Course dates

Testimonials

The following is only a small sampling of the many testimonials we received from life coaching students, book readers and course participants.

Having trained under Anne as a Life Coach, I can testify that putting what I
have learnt in this course into practice, has impacted my life enormously. I have learnt to know myself more clearly, why I behave in a certain way, how I interpret
situations, why I react in a certain way, my internal dialogue, the way I
prepare myself for difficult situations, all through the lens of Love the Life You
Live and who I am as a person.

I have seen that change come about through the choices I make freely, not through outside pressures, or expectations of others, for that creates internal conflict, but by the day-by-day decisions and by demonstrating who I am, i.e. my authentic self.

My journey is a continuing one, and I would encourage anyone who is prepared
to do a little work looking within, to join me on that journey.
Valerie McLean, Sydney

I loved doing the Hart Coaching life coach training. This values based coaching really resonated with me. I learned down to earth tools for enhancing all areas of my life and manifesting my dreams. My clients enjoy using the ten step process, and as a result, have made positive changes to their lives.
Helen Harvey, Auckland

Anne’s Ten Step Process of Life Coaching came to me at exactly the right time in my life. I have found that working with the values and beliefs has been immensely empowering for me. I am not someone who can start with a goal and work towards it in a linear fashion. The Ten Step Process is inspiring and has led to amazing “Aha!” moments constantly as I finally find my true self and capabilities. Clients have expressed enthusiastically to me that working with this process has enabled them to overcome hurdles and obstacles in their life even from the very first session. I would strongly recommend this process to anyone who wants to improve the quality of their life, to achieve their dreams (whether they know what they are or not) and find happiness.
Sue Peel, Qld

To be trained under the guidance of Anne is to enter into a life-changing process of personal growth. It is evident from the first meetings with Anne that one is getting in touch with the most profound yet practical of teachings available to would be coaches.

Anne has developed a most useful ten-step process for empowering people that she has honed through her own trials and tribulations. Anne never prescribes any wisdom or lessons that she herself has not mastered.

The coaching training model is comprehensive and structured, equipping the trainee with a core curriculum of cutting-edge exercises and tools. Anne has fine-tuned a very original approach that works because in a short time period I have confronted myself with the ten-step challenges and made significant changes in my daily habits.

Anne's style is simple and direct yet based on universal wisdom translated into a workable format. Her training process is fun and supportive keeping a good balance between theory and practice staying loyal to her values model.

I can highly recommend Anne as a mentor, coach and coach of coaches. Anne is generous with her secrets and I am grateful to have crossed paths with someone who is making an enormous contribution to change lives in a dramatic way.
Dr Steve Zolezzi Phd, Registered Psychologist and Life Coach, Sydney

My own Life Coaching career arose from being a client of Anne Hartley’s. After spending years studying personal development I was looking for more and certainly found it with Anne’s 10 Step Life Coaching process. The process is simple, concise and so effective. Confronting all the steps and working with my own values has empowered me in every aspect of my life. Anne is a seriously committed coach, and trainer. Drawing from her incredible life journey she shares her wisdom and guides whether it be a client or a student in the direction of their dreams. The accredited Life Coach training is thorough, and balanced between hands on and theory. I enjoyed the course immensely, and became especially passionate about the time allowed for questions and discussion. I also found it was invaluable to be trained by someone who is actually working in the field at the time. I would highly recommend Anne as a coach or as a trainer of trainers. I would also like to thank her personally for all the books she has written. They are brilliant.
Annie Miller Diploma Life Coaching – Member ICF, ALCS, Sydney

I have found Anne's unique, practical and down to earth approach to coaching inspirational. Her Ten Step Coaching Programme is straight forward yet highly effective both from a student's and a coach's perspective. Anne has a remarkable ability to draw on her own life experiences which in turn enables clients to easily understand and implement the Ten Steps when examining their own lives. I have pleasure in recommending Anne to you as a Life Coach who has 'walked the talk' and proven how we can all take control of our lives and love the lives we live.
John Gray, Barrister & Solicitor, Life Coach, Wellington NZ

The Hart Life Coaching course was very helpful for me in that I was forced to dig deeper into the teachings and content of what Anne was saying in her books and workbook. Having homework to do was a good discipline in the midst of my busy life. I found Anne very knowledgeable about life coaching and what she said was very helpful and supportive.
Al Gentleman, Perth

I wanted to tell you how very much I appreciate your help and your wisdom. While I have been coaching for a while mostly in an informal manner, the steps and your advice makes the whole thing so much simpler. Your ten steps make so much sense and the fact that they came out of your own experiences make them so much stronger.

I admire what you have achieved in your life and you are an inspiration to all. I admire your tenacity, your ‘stickability’ and all your abilities. You have certainly helped make my life easier and through you I have expanded my horizons, my goals and my dreams.
I sing your praises to anybody who will listen.
Judith Baxter, Wellington

I feel very confident about the course we are doing with you. I enjoy it immensely and it has made a difference to my own life already. Initially I was very concerned about Certificate 1V accreditation but it is not an issue given the wonderful value and worth of your course. I appreciate all you do – and thank you!
Michelle Kandiliotis, Adelaide

I find the teleconferencing very effective, you don't have to leave the comforts of your own home to be involved in a class (which i love!) and it feels as though you are all somehow in the same space anyway even though so far apart in distance.

Being a lover of freedom, it's also great that i am able to travel anywhere within Oz or even when home in NZ and know that i am still able to commit to the call weekly, wherever i am.
Leanne Morton, Cairns

I think the teleconference facility is easy and effective. You are the ultimate professional in the way that you manage the sessions and the data.

I completed the Life Coaching course in 2007. It was important to me to invest my time with the right course. I found that Certificate IV accreditation was one of the key differences between Hart Life Coaching and others on the market. After speaking with three independent, successful life coaches in Sydney (none of whom had formal accreditation), I was comfortable to follow my gut instict and enrol with Ann. The course has provided a wonderful base and a strong foundation to commence my work with clients.
Liz Schembri, Sydney

Was Anne’s book the answer to my prayers? That was what the book gave me and that is what it gives me today. That is what I love most about the book and the whole approach Anne has. I read the book a second time and a third time and a fourth time. I started taking every word, every concept, and every “quote” into my life. I looked at the website. I wanted to do the course but I had no money but following Anne's teachings I manifest the money and now I train people in the Maldives and Asia in the Ten Step process.
Anthu Arif, Maldives

Eight years since doing the course our life is going great and I feel part of this is due to learning the Ten steps and using them in every day life - personally the course has made me a more positive and patient person. David has been able to help a lot of young men in drug & alcohol rehab by teaching them the Ten step program and having the coaching qualifications helped him finally find work he is passionate about. I believe the program has made us better parents as we have a very close and open relationship with our two children who are now young adults and also out there having a go and achieving their goals.

The Ten step program is something that people from all ages and backgrounds can draw something from and use it to better their lives and make them a better person. Anne is an inspiration to us all and even now eight years later I still have a copy of her book in my bedside drawer which I quite often read before going to sleep at night.
Wendy & David Germon, Newcastle

Life coaching transformed my life so much that I decided to become a coach myself. There are still times when life challenges me and I can feel tempted to fall back into my old ways, but I have many tools to assist me focus on what I want, then go about achieving it.
Natalie McIvor, Queensland

Having never completed distance learning before, I was a little apprehensive how telephone training would work. I need not have worried. The lecturers presented relevant, time and useful material, with positive energy and passion that was inspirational.

I would like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to put my skills into action through life coaching. This course has filled the gap in my quest to teach what I believe is the purpose of this life. The content of the course was very thorough. The case studies were challenging but an interesting exercise. The guest speakers were enlightening. And you Anne, came from the heart, and empowered us to go out into the world with confidence. Thank you.
Carmel Petcos, Melbourne

I would like to say thank you for your course and coaching. It has been a positive and progressive time having brought continual growth and change, and I am greateful that Hart Life coaching was a catalyst in my initiating personal breakthroughs as well as providing to direction to begin as a life coach.
Jaye Stanford, Melbourne

Anne’s warmth and professionalism eased her students along their path of self-discovery and business training. With in-depth course materials and challenging assignments, it proved an enjoyable way to learn.

The Love the Life You Live programme is down-to-earth and practical. Receiving business building tips from coaches who have ‘been there, done that’ was also invaluable.

I would encourage anyone considering life coaching as a career, or for self-improvement, to look closer at Anne Hartley’s 10-step programme.
Stuart Fleming, Christchurch NZ

The Ten Steps gave me another tool to add to therapy, as I now teach my clients life skills. Doing the course brought about a great deal of positive change in my own life and the Ten Steps have worked for my clients as well. I particularly enjoyed doing a course over the telephone, it was so easy and saved me so much time. The interaction with others, and practise coaching sessions were great.
Joann Willoughby, Farley Hypnotherapist / Reiki Master / Accredited Life Coach, Sydney

I would like to personally thank you from the bottom of my heart because your vision and passion for life coaching has encouraged people like myself to follow in your footsteps. Reading your books has given me a greater understanding of the importance of listening to your heart rather than your head. I know year head is useful for many a think but if you didn’t listen to your heart there would be no passion.
Sue Phillips, Queensland

I really appreciated seeing how you used focused questions relating to the method, particularly those magical being and having values. To see your client see a way forward was truly inspiring. I was able to draw on it with a client and get a great result. It's such a buzz. The course has been great.
Helen Carmichael, Sydney

I have completed the Hart Life Coaching programme and I am now self employed. Teleconferencing makes home a comfortable place from which to learn. The classes were well structured and there was always time for questions. It was most definitely a relaxed and fun way to learn."
Beverley D’Anvers, Auckland NZ

What people say about Love Your Money and Love The Life You Live courses...
My sales team’s figures quadrupled after putting into practice the principles that you teach. Belinda, NSW

Finally a course not on how to get rich quick, but how to deal with your money and your mind. Tracy Melbourne

Thanks to your suggestions my dining table always has flowers on it, my table is always set at dinner time, my husband’s and my wallet always have money in them, and we always have money available. Our spirits have lifted 100%.
Donna WA

You have brought so much clarity into my life. Sonya NSW

Working with your values process has changed my life. I now know who I am. I know what makes me happy. I have established habits that now support me. I did not realise how lost I was before doing this course. Nathan NZ

I thought when I finally worked out what work I wanted to do I'd be happy. But after getting every job I set out to get and changing career direction three times I still didn't know. Once I started working with values my life changed and I am finally doing work that I love.
Emma Qld

Once I would have challenged anyone who said I had low self esteem. However, until I worked with your ten step process I had no idea how little I valued myself. All of that has changed. I now love me, and the funny thing is that now other people do as well.
Carol, Melbourne

The Ten Step Process is inspiring and has led to amazing “Aha!” moments constantly as I finally find my true self and capabilities. Clients have expressed enthusiastically to me that working with this process has enabled them to overcome hurdles and obstacles in their life even from the very first session. I would strongly recommend this process to anyone who wants to improve the quality of their life, to achieve their dreams (whether they know what they are or not) and find happiness.
